Forget about white Christmases, at this chilly rate we’re likely to have a white Easter instead. There are only a handful of things I like about cold weather – of which I’m rapidly forgetting – but the clothes are definitely…
daily style inspiration: understatement
I’m not sure how she’s doing it. Statement necklaces. Statement hat. Statement rings. Statement frills. Statement hair. Statement face. And it adds up to what? Understated chic. Go figure. Like reading an Anne Tyler novel, the result is more than the sum of…
daily style inspiration: death of a salesman’s suit
At one point in his life, my father was a suit-sporting, shiny-car-driving, talk-the-talking salesman. And, while he didn’t pass on much to me that has stood the test of time, my love for a well-tailored three-piece is most assuredly paternally…

meet the fashion geese
This post all started with this picture of Kate Moss in W Magazine. Through the haze of last week’s fever, I spotted it, stuck a pin in it and labelled it ‘fashion goose’. On closer inspection (OK, after a few…
lana del rey + adele = vogue plays swapsies with singing superstars [UPDATED]
Here we have the very beautiful and talented Adele for US Vogue and Lana Del Rey for British Vogue. Shouldn’t it be the other way around, you know, nationality speaking? I’ve just seen some of the other images from the Adele…
missoni + pedro almodóvar = surrealist pop-up decoupage perfection
Knowing a little about the Missoni family, I can’t imagine anyone more suited to collaborating on the brand’s SS12 campaign video than Pedro Almodóvar. The acclaimed Spanish director (All about my Mother, Talk to her and Volver are my faves)…
