Day one of London Fashion week is traditionally a bit of a soft launch but in reality yesterday was as busy as I have ever seen it. Clearly the days of the privileged few having exclusive access to the shows are over and you know what? It’s all for the good of the industry. (more…)
Cartier’s chief executive officer Bernard Fornas has been banging on about the ‘feel-guilty factor’ to explain why customers are buying smaller watches to replace the huge stonkers (hello Michael Kors) of last year. I don’t really need an excuse to buy another watch, but if I was to buy a small-faced timepiece and had a few grand going spare, it would have to be Chanel’s H2146 Premiere wraparound in 18K (and £18K!) white gold with diamonds. Chic non?
If you love the fine-rib-socks-and-wedges look for spring (as I do), then here’s a recommendation for you. H&M have the best socks on the high street. I’m still wearing the long ribbed fuchsia and grey socks I bought years ago and they have kept their shape, haven’t worn through at the heel or toe and – the best bit – don’t wriggle off your feet when you’re wearing boots. I dont actually wear wedges but I’ve just bought this pack of 2 silky ankle socks in porridge (to wear with my tan Church’s brogues) and rust (to clash with my emerald Kurt Geiger T-bars). And of course I couldn’t resist the wee plastic Minnie Mouse-shaped box as a(nother) knick knack holder for my desk…
I adore the styling on these new Marni Edition images. Individually I don’t know if these pieces would speak to me but mashed up together like this, my heart says YES!!!
