These boots weren't made for walking

How about these latest additions to my collection of 'shoes that I own and love but rarely get to wear because I can't run for the bus in them' collection?

These little beauties are by Jeffery Campbell and they are pretty darn great.

In the sunshine

Saturday saw the sun in London which caused me to celebrate with a flash of midriff. Obviously this was teamed with high waisted trousers, long sleeves and a floor length kimono (I'm not that brave!).

As some of you may know I have a severe love for kimonos and I found this beauty in The Kimono Shop, Soho on my recent trip to New York. I spent about two hours in there discussing my shared love of kimonos with the lovely lady that worked in there (apologies to The Boy, he was very patient).

This one is silk and from the 1940s, I love it. I love the colours and the unusual geometric print. It's great.

I also got the chance to wear my Lennon shades (also bought in New York, which I also love.)

What did you get up to in the sun this weekend? 

Sunglasses and Fur

Don't you just love spring days when it's sunny enough to wear sunglasses but cool enough to wear a coat?

Cobbled

Way back in January my old pal, Sarah-Leigh and I popped to west London to visit the Temperley showroom (more on that later). Sarah took a couple of outfit snaps so I thought I'd share...

Postcards from NYC

Two weeks ago (yes this post is a little tardy), myself and The Boy took ourselves out of the real world for four days of serious walking combined with serious fun to a little placed called New York.

I went when I was 20 and absolutely fell head over heels for the place, the thing about New York and Manhattan in particular is that it is everything you expect it to be, it's just like it is in the movies. We stayed mid-town, meters off 5th Avenue (serious novelty vibe when you step out of your hotel to see the Empire State Building).

Here are some beautiful memories...

Stay tuned for more of my visual diary.

Cover Guy

Hello lovely readers!

It's been a while hasn't it? Sorry about that but I have been having a ball in NYC and then been playing catch up with real life (man, I wish I had a time machine).

Anyhow, this weekend I will be posting all about my NYC antics with my lovely Boy (so nice to get away for an adventure together, it had been about three years!) so stay tuned for some photos taken on my new swanky camera.

In the meantime I couldn't help but share this great cover for iD's spring 2012 issue featuring the god that is Karl Largerfeld...

LFW: Visual diary part 3

So my friend's I'm rounding up fashion week on my blog now. I have about a million other photographs to share but I need to break it up a bit, I love fashion week and even I am a little over writing about it so I'm guessing you might be bored of reading about it. All I will say is that as usual the week was filled with the weird, the wonderful, good friends, beautiful design, high heels and a hell of a lot of air kissing.
