Note to self: must get next French Vogue

I love the amazing pin-up style calendar in next month’s French Vogue.

Not that I’d ever spend £90 on a T-shirt

But these Sass & Bide tees are nice.

I’m in a blue mood today.

Style muse: Lauren Bacall

I swear my current fixation on sharply cut 40s dresses is entirely down to Lauren Bacall and my continuous re-watching of To Have and Have Not. To me Bacall is incredibly beautiful and sexual and yet still glamorous and sophisticated. Oh and if I should ever grow my hair long again, I vow to wear it in soft curls just like she did.

What is now?

I’ve been asked to guest blog for This is Now, a photography project set up by Ford. They’ve got a Flickr group where you can upload an image that embodies ‘now’ for you, and there is also the blog.

It feels slightly weird to be asked to sum up fashion now. Not a clue!

Adoro o Brasil

Less than a month to go before I will unleash my credit card (crunch, what crunch?) on Brazil. One Brazilian label I would really like to check out is Roedel Latin America. Their canary yellow knit dress is my favourite piece in their collection.

Frock me

Bo van Melskens’ s/s 09 collection is looking promising. Instead of having a multi-piece collection, they will do different versions of one dress design, which will incorporate a 50-year-old handmade patchwork cotton stripe into each dress.

I just love the dress, it’s a great little 50s inspired retro cocktail frock.

Babylonian philosophy

Thanks to Isabelle I discovered French online store Zadig&Voltaire. I quite like their current look book and preppy rock chick style. The gun necklace is just amazing!
