Did you have a lovely Christmas? I was lucky in that I managed to have a very quiet, spoilt Christmas at home (I like to be extremely lazy on Christmas day, it’s the one day when I can just lie around eating, reading and sleeping) and received some beautiful presents. (more…)
Damn you COS, I go into the store seeking Christmas pressy inspiration and come out with another coat I don’t need and a pair of socks. But how could I resist? This tailored couture-style coat has a really good cut, is nicely finished (I inspected from all angles) and has bracelet sleeves to accommodate all the Iris Apfel-esque bangles I plan to buy for the next season. This to me is a great day-to-evening coat. It’s not bulky but its cocoon shape means you can get a couple of layers underneath it if you must. (more…)
Top of my Spring-Summer 2012 fantasy shopping list is Chanel’s ‘package’ bag complete with chain ‘string’. Utterly impractical, utterly adorable. Alas, I don’t even know if it’s going into production. (more…)
Booked your trip to the slopes for some post-Christmas posturing? Meh – me neither. But I will be poncing about the streets of NW10 in my Woolrich and aviators at the first chink of sunlight. You know I’m all about winter sunglasses and these folding Sunpocket Gold sunnies are speaking to me with their slightly seventies styling and 24 carat gold plated lenses (um, no idea what the benefit of gold lenses is but it sounds very fancy). Another selling point: they fold up and come in a dinky leather pouch. Available here.
