Oh man, there is so much good stuff still in the sales including lots of classics (hello Chloe bag), twisted classics (I see ya Moschino jacket) and statement accessories. There’s also some excellent knitwear which I’m saving for a separate post. Meanwhile, the Spring and Pre new-ins just keep on coming, in particular I’ve noticed some really exciting jewellery coming through. (more…)
News just in from H&M. Spring sees a revamp of its longstanding 18-28 plus size collection, with the previously named Big Is Beautiful range being rebranded as H&M+. The SS12 collection is heavy on nautical stripes, white shirts and everyday basics like this loosely tailored coat…
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…)
Loving everything about this pic from Valentino’s SS12 campaign. Strong and romantic with the signature pop of Valentino red – so nice to see them use Deborah Turbeville to shoot in lieu of the usual suspects. Wonder if she shot using film and Polaroid? (more…)
