Quote of the day
“I could do without doing hair in a toilet corridor or in Hoxton Square in the rain. London will probably never shake that thing of having 17 models and only 11 pairs of shoes. But that’s part of its charm. “
Sam McKnight, Vogue
Desperately seeking…
… Louis Mariette’s ‘Joan’ jewels to snazz up one of my many sweatshirt-n-Chanel outfits…

OMG! It’s raining pretty publications!
It’s so nice to see some genuinely creative how-to fashion books being published. I’ve already blogged about Like I Give A Frock by Michi (above and below) which isn’t really a how-to book but is very pretty and an entertaining read.
Natalie Bloom (of the Bloom beauty product empire) has published Beauty in Bloom, a gently-illustrated ode to all thing beautiful and beauty-related to appeal to those (like me) who can’t get enough of foundation splodges and lipstick scribbles.
Somehow the latest offering from Gisele Scanlon escaped my attention when it came out so I need to do some catching up. Scanlon’s Goddess Guide was an instant bestseller and the follow-up, The Goddess Experience, offers more illustration and collagy fun alongside her in-the-know tips and discoveries.

More sartorial sketches are to be admired in the form of My Wonderful World of Fashion, a colouring book with a difference from illustrator Nina Chakrabarti. As well as sketches of Vivienne Westwood shoes to be coloured in by all ages of fashionistas, there are also how-to-make-a-sari tutorials and did-you-know fashion history lessons.
*Sigh*…who needs Colleen et al when you can have all this?

Sartorialust
Ah! I wondered when this was happening…
“To celebrate the launch of The Sartorialist book, Scott Schuman will be curating a stand alone space, ‘Sartorialust’, within the Menswear department in Liberty. The space will consist of various pastiches representing the many passions of the Sartorialist. Visitors will see how rather than being literal they can take inspiration from the sartorially eloquent and adapt it into their own repertoire.”
