I still like dressing in nude colours. Only now I say I dress in “oatmeal colours” - I am so very tired of the word nude now. It has become such a cliché to say that you “pair a nude outfit with a black leather shoes (or something rather) to roughen it up” that is makes me cringe. I would in fact not have been surprised if someone told me that the four letters forming the word N – U – D – E is on the top five list of most commonly used words in any fashion magazine or blog for 2009. So here’s to oatmeal and the wonderful colour – whatever you may refer to it as!

I would be so very happy strolling around with this Givenchy headband. My hear blowing in the wind, a jazzy soundtrack and sunshine all around. Such a weirdo fantasy – I know.

It is incredible how much the accessories (including the Diet Coke. I wonder if it was intentional to carry around a can of fizzy drink which actually matches the clothes perfectly) does for this outfit. The clothes themselves have a bit of a yawn-factor, but with the piles of jewelry; not so.
Jewelry is such a good way of breaking the jeans-and-tee-bubble many find themselves an inhabitant of on a typical Monday (or Tuesday, or Wednesday..), and combining fake with real has never looked better. On Monday, I will definitely be adding an additional few items to my standard “watch and ring”-uniform!

How can you not want these rose bras from Sonia Rykiel pour H&M? I am going to buy one of each to wrap up under the Christmas tree; one for my mum and one for myself. And hopefully she will not read this.
I really love the richness of the ad campaign. The lilac combined with black, the luxurious feel of silk, chiffon and velvet. The big, curly hair and last but not least the underwear itself. Very grand, indeed – I wonder how H&M will be able to top this one!

This is my new art textiles project. My final one before the exam project this summer! The top sketch was my initial idea, but I have developed it into the - what shall I say – round thing below. I now I wish I hadn’t. After spending the day trying to hunt down two round pieces of foam, I realise why I’ve never seen them before – there simply aren’t any around..
I am really excited about this new project. As the piece has to develop from our previous one, I will make a sculptural and sharp piece – this time using sharply cut pieces of children’s sandboxes in the colours of the British flag. We get extra marks for linking our pieces to ‘current issues’, so I will link mine to the young British soldiers loosing their lives in Afghanistan. Sharp pieces – a child wearing it for the photoshoot – british flag.. get it?

NO MORE HOUSEWORK,
…S’il Vous Plait
This is the title of the ‘editorial’ which I photographed for Art Textiles. The coat is a coursework project, and as it is made out of ironing board covers, I chose to have the working title FUTURETRO - futuristic and retro. Futuristic in terms of the appearance of the coat, and retro in terms of the ideas of cleaning, cooking, etc etc (we all know the tune of that one).
I was quite inspired by Mario Sorrenti’s editorial from the November issue of French Vogue “Graffiti Couture” (or similar) in terms of the background, which in some of the shots blended in – or at least took up the pattern from the clothing. I will post the picture later tonight, but I’ve GOT to get some work done now.

I really like the trend of bleached eyebrows – it means I don’t have to touch mine. And how cool is that hoodie? I wonder if the crown is attached to it! Abbey Lee Kershaw does of course look sensational on the December 09 cover of Dazed & Confused, shot by Daniel Jackson.

Ray Ban Wayfarers, Ray Ban Clubmasters and finally the circular sunglasses – years has passed since the gigantic sunglasses ruled the world, and I swore upon my life that I would wear mine forever when my parents bought me a pair for my thirteenth. That never happened.
What’s next? I think Tom Ford’s Nikita cat-eye acetate sunglasses might be the answer, and I am all on board. They will look incredibly fab combined with something completely un-50’s – I’m all about contrasts, and I will wear them forever (…).

I loved the idea behind the editorial La bonne Heure est dans le Pre from Vogue Paris’ November issue. Mud, farming equipment, boring(ish) clothes combined with (very expensive) jewelry - it is such a good way of demonstrating how great jewelry look worn with laidback clothes. Although you’d probably want to skip the tractor for a bike/tube/bus during daily life - there is no need to go all the way.
