Spring colours, and Halston























I love the colour of this dress, and this tie-dye jump suit! These are two pieces from the Halston Heritage line, designs reinvented from the Halston archives. Whilst this is pure Studio 54 chic, and effortlessly glam and elegant, it is the use of vibrant colours that I love most! The bags are great too, their wide piping, rounded metal fittings, and piped handles, they evoke an era (and Halston's genius) that for many years I could only contemplate in this Halston book

In awe at Chloe..

This week has been so hectic that i could only now have a quick look at the autumn/winter collections. The first to catch my eyes was the Chloe show scheduled last Tuesday. I'm in awe! I love the warm beiges with the mustard shoes, the bow waisted trousers, the slouchy trousers, the simple cut and extra ease of the garments, the models' smooth hair and flawless skin, the squeaky clean look! It reminds me a bit of the early 1980s, the softer look emulated by Brooke Shields or Marot and Mariel Hemingway.

Emma Ware Jewellery


















I've recently discovered Emma Ware's jewellery. She is a talented designer who used reclaimed materials, such as these charming toy lambs. I'm especially fond of her eclectic collection.
Her new pieces are edgier and she is taking part to the Ethical Fashion night at the William Morris Gallery this Thursday. I'm looking forward to meeting her and seeing her new collection!
