It’s time to undress

January 29, 2009 · 7 Comments

I went to Brazil with my really old bikini (and I mean really old). I so wish I would have known of Mama Maria swimwear. How amazing is their stuff?

Jesus, dungarees can be cool

January 29, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I hate dungarees. I think they are the most hideous piece of clothing. Ever. But I am going to have to reconsider my position, simply because Garance Dore posted this:

My shoes are beyond repair

January 27, 2009 · 3 Comments

Don’t let yourself be fooled by the name, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair is my new favourite Swedish label. Cool, classic tayloring, just what I like.

Black vs. white

January 25, 2009 · 2 Comments

Of course I couldn’t pass the chance of buying some Melissa shoes while in Brazil. I got a black pair and a white one. The white one is part of the Anglomania range Vivienne Westwood designed for Melissa. I love them both!

I’ll do 40s any time

January 23, 2009 · 2 Comments

I am still catching up with all the stuff that’s been going on while I was in Brazil. I was so excited to see Zac Posen’s 1940s inspired pre-fall 09 collection.

I need you

As I’ve mentioned before some time ago, I’ve started editing a new daily glossy vintage magazine called Queens of Vintage. Ideally we would like to publish great pictures of vintage wearers from all over the world.

And that’s where you come in! Do you wear vintage and want to be featured in QoV? Or do you fancy a bit of street photography and want to snap some vintage wearers where you live? Or maybe you live in an amazing place full of vintage interiors you would like to show off? In any case, do get in touch! Email me at stylehighclub@gmx.com

Now that I’m back to being permanently attached to a computer and the internet I can continue my fantasy shopping. Today: this Sonia by Sonia Rykiel cardi.

Winter oh winter

January 20, 2009 · 2 Comments

It still feels weird that I spent winter in the heat. After a month in dresses and T-shirts, I felt totally uninspired about what to wear in cold old London. That is until I saw Proenza Schouler’s pre-fall 09 collection. I want it all.

More than pretty pictures

January 19, 2009 · 2 Comments

While I was in Brazil, Spanish illustrator Judit Garcia-Talavera got in touch with me and send me the link to her portfolio.
I love her very retro looking, vintage inspired fashion illustrations.
