London Street Style...

I have been out and about over the past few weeks snapping the unsuspecting trendies of our fair city once again.

The look of the week award goes to...

I love all the little details that create this look. The bold colour blocking, the cuffed trousers and sleeves and the preppy mix of classic tailoring and contemporary pieces.

 Bravo Mr.

What A Fantastic Man...

My blog is not usually a swoon-fest but I had to make an exception for this little wonder of an editorial.

When doing some research for a shoot last month I bought the March issue of my favourite men's fashion magazine, Fantastic Man and stumbled across this shoot.

It's pretty darn great. I love the dapper-chap styling mixed with his sleeve tattoos and stubble. A timeless editorial with modern and interesting undertones to mix things up and keep it fresh.

Excellent work.

New Obsession: Sam Edelman

I literally LOVE shoes (a girl who works in fashion liking shoes? What a surprise).

Mega heels and wedges are my weapons of choice and the more impactful and statement the better. If you are like me then you will also LOVE New York shoe designer, Sam Edelman.

Edelman has literally read my shoe mind for his AW11 collection, I would kill for almost each and every pair (including some of the flats - which I never get excited about).

Pony skin, quilted leather, panelling, metal detailing, studs, spikes, wedges, stacked chunky heels (need I go on?)...basically he ticks every box on a heel wearer's AW wish list. I need to start pushing links over to The Boy in time for my birthday in September for the updated version of last year's 'Zoe boots' they are magical and I think they may have pushed my top birthday present (Jeffery Campbell's Lita's) off the top spot of the wish list.

Sam Edelman are represented by 1927 in London and can be bought in Selfridges, My Wardrobe and ASOS.

Event: Tabio Bloggers Event...

What: Tabio Bloggers Event

Where: Tabio, Kensington High Street

Drank: Vitamin Water

Work has been even more hectic this week- all good for a freelancer like myself. What it does mean is that I now desperately need to catch up on my blog.

On the road to playing catch up it's time to share my findings at the Tabio bloggers event. You may remember from an earlier post, I am already a fully-fledged Tabio fan so I needed no persuading to attend this event. A number of fashion bloggers were invited to come to the store, have a look at the products, mingle and we were lucky enought to be gifted a piece of our choice (more on my choice later).

With literally every style, colour, print and fabric under one roof, Tabio is the only place I will be stopping to give my pins a well dressed treat.

Jeepers Peepers...

I  a heavy addiction to buying sunglasses. This season I will be mainly channelling my inner Lennon by sporting round shapes.

Event: New Look AW11 Press Day...

WHAT: New Look AW11 Press Day

WHERE: One Mayfair

DRANK: Bubbles

 

New Look's autumn/winter offerings were pretty impactful if I'm honest. For all those New Look shoes fans out there (myself included) next season's collections will fail to disappoint with a hefty selection of boots, wedges and brogues. The new Idol range was being shown and it is right up my street. Glam rock, with feminine and vintage twists embellished with lots of fringing and stud detailing- PERFECT.
