Fuck yes!

I love these Proenza Schouler studded boots.

Leather? Check. Vintage? Check.

I’m really into the whole leather biker thing going on at the moment. I think after having spent the whole summer trying out 40s styles and doing lady-like chic, it’s time to toughen up.

Maybe I should start with this vintage biker jacket from Rokit.

Der Berg rief

Back from my holidays in Northern Italy. I couldn’t resist buying this dirndl from German label Blutsgeschwister. I shall pair it with brogues and a vintage jacket.

Ciao!

I am off to Italy for my holiday, thank God, I so need a break!

A new online fashion mecca? The Stellar Boutique

New online fashion and home wear store The Stellar Boutique has launched, selling ‘ an inspired, eclectic mix of beautiful things from around the world’. Created by Stella McClure, who used to sell her one-off finds at Portobello, the boutique is an outlet to showcase designers and artists from all over the globe.

While I like the store’s concept, which is all about originality (credo: ‘Don’t follow fashion, create it!), I don’t think I am quite bohemian (read: hippie)  enough to really appreciate Moroccan rugs or white boho peasant tops. But if this is your style, you won’t be disappointed. There is even a small vintage section selling pieces from the late 60s to the 80s. Again, just not my decades…

777

I love this week’s 777 event at Shrimpton Couture. It means that seven items from this fab vintage online shop will be reduced in price. Once an item is sold, another one is added. I’ve slightly fallen in love with this 40s pink dress.

I am utterly Faithfull

Topshop have a new range inspired by Marianne. I’d like the white vest top and blue studded heels please.

Trouser celebacy

I don’t normally wear trousers. Ever. Simply because I hate my legs in them. But I would make an exception for this pair by Charles Anastase for PIG magazine. Two-tone heaven.

Street style icon of the week: vintage couple

Oh I just adore her late Fifties dress and brown brogues combo. Via The Style Scout.
