Tatty Devine vs Claire’s Acessories: Plagiarism abounds

February 23, 2012 Accessories

We are big Tatty Devine fans here at LLG Towers. (Even P Bad has got in on the act with her personalised Tatty Devine dogtag.) I first came across the British jewellery and accessories company when they showed as part of Fashion East in 2003, at what was then the Great Eastern Hotel. (An epic […]

LLG Accessories: Sawako Furuno Bicycle Helmets

February 7, 2012 Accessories

I have wanted a Sawako Furuno cycling helmet since I first wrote about them in 2008, when I bemoaned the (then) bizarre attitude of some New Yorkers to cycling). But I either couldn’t afford one, or was on the road and couldn’t pack one in my cases. Now that I am based out of London […]

Re-Post: LLG Fashion: Snow Boots! Hunter Boots for the Snow!

February 5, 2012 Accessories

Regular readers will know that I posted this first back at the beginning of December as a Christmas present suggestion but, now that it is actually snowing outdoors, I thought a re-post was in order. I’m thrilled with my snow boots — both the moon version and the classic wellies that just happen to have […]

LLG Fashion: Ash Jessbis boots

January 9, 2012 Accessories

New shoes! New shoes! I’m not much of a shopper. But I do take great pleasure from finding exactly the thing I wanted, at the price I wanted to pay. Especially when it’s the thing I wanted to find most especially. As was the case with my new Ash ankle boots, a very pleasing £93 […]

Marrackech Shopping: Passementerie tassels & trimmings

December 30, 2011 Accessories

As we wandered out of the El Badi palace yesterday looking for a taxi, my magpie eye was caught by a shop that seemed to sell only passementerie. Be still my beating heart.

Object of Desire: Anndra Neen Cage Clutch

December 21, 2011 Accessories

This clutch from Anndra Neen is so deceptively simple, & so covetable. I’d put my things inside a small black velvet pouch, the better to show off the cage work. Or perhaps I’d just pare everything down to a phone, a Tom Ford lipstick & a credit card.

What’s in my Handbag?

December 15, 2011 Accessories

I love a good startup, & I equally love a good look into someone else’s handbag, so I was very happy to provide new site What’s in your Handbag with a photo of the beauty side of mine. The site launches officially next year (you’ll be able to buy things that you see in people’s […]

LLG Design: Anya Hindmarch two-way diary launch

December 14, 2011 Accessories

I’ve had some unusual invitations in my time, but being asked along to eat lunch at a London cabbies’ shelter back in September was definitely a standout first. The lovely Anya Hindmarch has long been fascinated by the secret world that goes on behind the doors of the shelters, where cabbies convene to eat a […]

LLG Fashion: Snow Boots! Hunter Boots for the Snow!

December 13, 2011 Accessories

So if you’ve read me for a while, you’ll know that a) I am very attached to my Hunter Boots & that b) I was pretty excited when I was approached last spring to be asked to model the AW12 advertising campaign for Hunter, which appeared in Vogue, Elle, etc. Anyway, that bit of disclosure […]
