deas can come from anywhere, you can take inspiration from anything. Paul Smith I took myself off to the Design Museum to see the exhibition ‘Hello, my name is Paul Smith’. It was fab. It takes you on a journey through Paul’s life, from standing inside a 3×3 metre blank shell – the size of […]
Fashion
Did that really just happen?
I met Paul Smith today. It was one of those ‘wow’ moments that I know that I’m going to treasure forever. It was a brilliant day from the beginning, an inspiring morning having a lecture about cool hunting, pouring over trend books and chatting before heading to Mayfair to explore high-end fashion. The Paul Smith […]
Pros of cons
I love converse. I spotted a leopard print, limited edition pair in Office last week. They would be perfect with slouchy turned up boyfriend jeans or leather skirt, dark tights and soft mohair jumper with junky gold chains. Right, well I know what I’m up to on my lunch break tomorrow!

Eagle eye
I’ve been making sure not to lose my ‘cool hunting’ training and to keep an eye out for off-beat finds and inspiration on my weekend wanders. I’m chuffed as I seem to be on the money of late! I found this amazing vintage 1960s edition of Vogue in a market in Ealing, West London over […]
These boots are made for walking…
Oh my, it’s upon us, the time to invest in winter boots! Patent, leather, Chelsea, ankle, lace-up…I’m giving little whoops for joy as I write this! I’ve been keeping an eye on the high street and Topshop, Dune and Russel & Bromley are doing some fantastic takes on catwalk designs. Don’t feel like you have […]
