Look of the Week & Zara a/w 2009/10


This weeks choice is from The Sophisticat, for teaming American Apparel fleece pants with bright green as green Acne lace-ups. I can't believe how cool the fleece pants look worn smartly, I've tried these on before (for jogging purposes only) and I don't remember them fitting so slim. I may have to give them another try after seeing this.



Above are some images from the Zara A/W 09/10 lookbook. Zara is a place I often visit but but have never bought anything from. Hollie manages to get tones of cool stuff in there and so do girls I work with, I think it's a place where is something looks a abit different or intriguing I should just grab it and try it on while I'm there. Really like the colour palette going on in the images above. Shades of greys, pale pinks, browns and nudes have been in abundance since the recession, looks like it's set to continue with high street shops such as Zara, COS, H&M Trend, Banana Republic going "mute" for the Winter.

Jil Sander A/W 2009/10 Campaign

Very dark indeed, the images speak for themselves really and the reader doesn't need to read too much into them. They are in-keeping with past Jil Sander campaigns but still manage to look fresh and current. Photographed by Willy Vanderperre.

New Paul Smith "Man" fragrance

Paul Smith is set to release their new "MAN" fragrance exclusively for Selfridges. Release date is 6th August and as an added bonus Paul Smith himself has taken all the pictures for the new campaign. As it's my birthday next month I would very much like this (I smelt a sample in Selfridges last week), so if anyone would like to buy me this that would cheer me up no end!

Mjolk Spring/Sumer 2010 Collection





From the Mjolk s/s 2010 Lookbook. I'm always a fan of Mjolk's collections, as the consistently deliver fashion forward pieces in great fabrics, cuts and colours. It seems that everything really is getting more relaxed now and getting away from the super skinny jeans, we have been seeing less and less skinny jeans on the catwalk over the past year or so. For me this collection looks fresh with a classic Scandinavian cool to it, quite reminiscent of Acne. My personal favourite look out of these is the outfit with the loose off white top and grey marl pants.

Cool Bits - Windows Vista "Home Entertainment" Adverts


Suggesting Windows Vista is also for "home entertainment". Very clever and a great concept. I guess they have to try and compete with Apple some how. It works for it, though it won't make me want a PC.

Vogue China August 2009




These images are from the latest edition of Vogue China, featuring model Eniko Mihalik and shot by Greg Kadel. I've always saved and collected editorials from magazine and the internet and stuck the down in my scrap book. I know I could just save them to my laptop but it's much easier for me to have them all in one place when I'm searching for inspiration. I just love everything about this shoot, but mainly the location. I don't know where this was shot but it looks quite amazing. I wish Vogues from other countries were more widely available, from what I've seen Vogue Italy and France are available in Borders but I'd love to get my hands on some more Eastern copies.

Latest Purchase - Linda Farrow Sunglasses




More finds from ebay, this time in the form of a vintage pair of Linda Farrow wayfarers from the mid 1980s, lets hope they suit me. If not it's not the of the world as they cost me £10. I guess I would just sell them on again.



They don't beat this pair of Linda Farrow Projects x Damir Doma wayfarers but as if I could afford the price tag. Available at Oki-ni for £165.

The Satorialist & his new book

This guy oozes cool. I'm sure a few of you have already come across this images from The Satorialist, summer doesn't get much better than this. To actually see this look pulled of well on the street is instantly going to bright up your possibily gloomy day. Are jazzy pants a new micro trend or are they always bubbling under, I see plenty of kooky girls in them but not so much men.


The release date of The Satorialist's first book has been announced as 12th August US and early September for the rest of the world. Pre-order your copy now at
Amazon UK or Amazon US

MAC - Face Art

I stumbled across this image by MAC whilst shopping with Hollie in manchester last night, it was used as a backdrop in the concession shop in Manchester. I couldn't ignore this images and I had to go on the website straight away and save it. Hollie later told me that they send out images of this caliber on their weekly emails. Now I've never really been into make-up so much really but I find them inspiring, especially if I have to do any styling and some point. They could come in handy.
