Retail: North London Vintage Market, N8

May 30, 2011 British shops

I love this portrait of Tara, my dear, dear friend and her, can you believe, infant number three, baby Abe?  Altho I think she looks like perfection, she wishes you to know that she is 10lbs lighter now. Pshaw. Anyway, the reason why she went all whimsical in the hair accessory department is because she […]

Retail: Anya Hindmarch Bespoke at Selfridges

April 6, 2011 Accessories

It’s a well-known fact that my family are obsessed with their dogs, and what better present to give to my mother on Mothering Sunday than a bespoke embossed bookmark from her three furry favourites (in my own handwriting)? Anya Hindmarch has always loved the idea of personalisation and bespoke: remember the Be-A-Bag mania ten years […]

Royal Wedding: Harvey Nichols Afternoon Tea

March 28, 2011 British shops

I kind of made a vow that apart from royal wedding dress mutterings, this blog would be a nuptial-free zone. But that would be boring, now wouldn’t it? Especially when publicists amuse me with releases featuring items like the one above. In addition to selling amusing china, all of the Harvey Nichols cafés and brasseries […]

Accessories: Liberty Tana Lawn Knot watches

March 26, 2011 Accessories

Liberty Tana Lawn Knot watches £55 here I could NOT believe my eyes when I saw these watches in Liberty when I went in for one of my customary poke-around, mental shopping list sessions the other week. (Honestly there’s pretty much NOTHING I don’t want in that store. It’s like a bazaar of everything you […]

Retail: MyWardrobe.com’s 100 things you NEED to know this Season

I’m rather loving mywardrobe.com’s jaunty little book: 100 Things you NEED to know this season! And that’s not just because I contributed no 31: Geek Chic. The whole thing is a perfect primer for the new season, and proves that, even for this hardcore digital addict, sometimes it is rather nice just to have something […]

Retail: Favourite Florists. London’s Scarlet & Violet

March 25, 2011 British shops

I got back from the shoot yesterday evening to find a little note slipped into my door frame. It directed me to my cellar, and there I found a large brown paper carrier bag containing the most ravishing flowers, as a thank you from a company for a piece I’d run recently on LLG.

My Wardrobe: Whistles coat (& a discount code!)

Thumbnail image for My Wardrobe: Whistles coat (& a discount code!) November 26, 2010 British shops

I find winter coats very, very tricky. Having a disproportionately large bosom, along with a tiny back means it is almost impossible to find a coat small enough across the shoulders and yet with enough fabric to stretch over my chest. Experience tells me I need narrow revers, a single breasted cut, and buttons placed […]

Shopping: Kate Spade pop up shop opens in London’s Covent Garden

October 12, 2010 Accessories

There are so many pop up shops springing up like mushrooms around London that it’s hard to keep track. Often they are just a cursory fit out of an empty store between lets and leave you feeling a little mugged. Not so with US fashion label Kate Spade’s first foray into the UK market. Their […]
