New Year, New Me?

2011-01-13T17:12:00.002Z

well, blog wise i mean. this year i will try to post everyday. i am working from home at the moment so really i have no excuse not to. i am so hungry to learn at the moment. i am desperate for new information and new skills.

i found these two amazing blogs today; 2 or 3 things and peter nencini - the images above were found on these sites.

2010-04-03T22:25:00.005+01:00

i've been in my own little world today. it's a sort of dreamy, happy sad place. oh and it includes a ring shaped like a fox and a sherling bobble hat (ie. i went shopping). i watched garance dore's 'a month in fashion' video and it was so lovely - it made me realise that you've got to live life looking for the good little things, for the beauty, for the laughter.

Self Education

2010-03-03T14:55:00.005Z

i went to the courtauld gallery in the peaceful, post-lfw, somerset house the other morning. i know that there are some masterpieces within the collection but i left underwhelmed - with the kind of art which is on display there, knowing the historical and social context is crucial. maybe i was being a bit dense that day but feeling like i had to read about who/what/why/when in order to fully appreciate anything totally destroyed the immediacy of the work.

on the other hand i'm enjoying discovering new photographers, there is something so simple and truly magical about recording a moment of real life and the subsequent power that this image can have. photograph above by david bellemere.

Open The Future

2010-01-14T22:49:00.003Z

coming up the escalator at oxford circus station the other day i was looking at the adverts for jil sander's latest +J collection for uniqlo. i found that the 'manifesto' really rang true: luxury will be simplicity. purity in design and beauty and comfort for all. quality for the people. basics are the common language. i'd tried to shop in a vintage shop at the weekend and was so un-inspired. i just couldn't bring myself to trawl throught the tat in the hope that i might find something that was potentially amazing if i squinted hard and didn't mess up the alterations i needed to make... i know it is a new year, a new decade and that change is the hot topic but i feel like perceptions of fashion may genuinely be changing. well, they are for me at least.

Dégagé, Word of the Moment

2009-11-08T00:45:00.006Z

every now and then i think i should stop dressing like a scruffy kid and start dressing like the grown up that i am. lanvin... that would do it. then i could be an artfully scruffy, jewel encrusted lady. with amazing jewellery.

Colour Theory

2009-11-08T00:03:00.009Z

i think that the purity of the limited palette at celine makes such a strong statement in the most delicate way. this collection is so new yet somehow comfortingly understandable and just achingly cool. of course we want leather shorts! we just hadn't realised it yet. i'm glad we have phoebe philo back, there aren't enough women in fashion and she is one who really know how women want to dress.

These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New

2009-11-07T22:32:00.012Z

love: the prints, the bold bright colours, the built in jewellery, the perspex, the sunglasses, the matchy matchy accessories. the cut of these garments may be simple but i think that holly fulton's use of colour, paolozzi-esque art deco inspired prints and embellishment make this a completely desirable and rather exciting collection. i'm looking forward to seeing what she does next.
