Swept Away.

I found these images on the Spell blog, their blog is compleatly one half of my taste when I'm in the mood for the castaway beach look the other half being the more simple more elegant look. So when I'm onto my other half, this is exactly what is meant by it.

Il Etait Une Fois.

I love this blog for looking at the most beautiful editorials and lookbooks. And one of my favourites recently Doutzen Kroes for Vogue UK January 2013.

A Day in Camden.

Just making a conscious effort to do something with our photos instead of just having them sitting here on the computer, just a Sunday having a wander around Camden and thats about it....

Classic Gucci.

I saw this advert for Gucci a few weeks ago, now it all goes back to what some people say about fashion and I have to say I completely agree (in terms of more classic trends) everything in fashion just does a huge circle at one stage the classic Gucci loafer was seen popping up in school on the kids that nagged to have the best things (I feel so sorry for Mum's and Dad's) and on the feet of every other boy with their jeans and shirts on a night out looking 'the part' in their heads and then its gets to such a hight that something has to pop and it's all brought back down to ground level and we all turn on them and leave it the 'chavvy' category. Its unbelievable how massive designer houses, Gucci, Dior, Burberry etc get swept up in this and it travels so fast amongst the crowds (the ones that wear it just because of the name) that it gets to the point that it has to do an emergency u-turn (well I suppose it serves them right for even letting logo emblazoned things be made publicly available.) But lets get back to the one thing I'm talking about the classic Gucci loafer, I don't know whether its due to me getting older and being more sensible on what I 'waste' my money on but I would much prefer now to buy something that can be categorised under the classic heading, the things that you would be proud to still own in years to come and that are so inoffensive that they can't be loved or hated regardless whether or not you are interested in fashion and totally irrelevant to whatever trends are going on at the time. The latest Forever Now theme for Gucci is the epitome of classic, a beautiful lady Charlotte Casiraghi (granddaughter of late Grace Kelly) a white shirt, tailored black trousers and the classic loafer, read more about it here.

Alexander Wang to Balenciaga.

As no expert on who is appointed as who behind the designer labels (with some exceptions after reading about them) but when I received my email from Fashion Monitor (its a pr website which if you pay for must supply you with much more information and events but I've obviously just stuck to receiving my daily emails) and saw the words Balenciaga and Alexander Wang I felt as though I knew exactly who was being discussed here I find it intriguing how an established designer remains with their own brand and takes on a role as creative director for another. I just imagine it as me personally, I like what I like and if I had my own clothing label it would represent and incorporate everything that I liked in clothes, how then do you design for a completely different label that cant copy cat what you are producing for your own label? I suppose it all comes down and is much more in depth and talented than just that, it is taking on the house and continuing that brand under your name but remaining true to its own traits (or totally turning around and changing the whole direction, but that is something I don't agree with) so for the first time (and people who recognise the designers in name with the labels will be used to) I am genuinely curious about what is to become of this and what direction this will follow...and for a more informative explanation.

Our Time in Amsterdam.

My first time to Amsterdam, our first time together, and yes I love the city...
