Layered Colour

Amazing shoot styled by Katie Shillingford and shot by Vivian Sassen for Dazed and Confused.

So much to look at!

Lacroix

Jewellery from the south of France that influenced the creation of a Lacroix 1987 wedding dress.

Christian Lacroix's haute couture embodies all the lavish opulence one imagines haute couture should be.

Lemons

As summer begins to draw an end and I start to make staunch resolutions about baring legs for as long as possible, my thoughts turn to clothes I wish I had got more wear out of. I picked up this beautiful little 1960s dress for 3 euro from a market in Spain earlier this Summer

Quite difficult to wear as it is essentially see through but it makes a great pool/beach dress. I love fruit prints, I've written about a Stella McCartney favourite years ago here and here.

Sorolla's House

The tile theme continued  (see last week's Celine post): these are from the Spanish painter Sorolla's house in Madrid, which I visited last week before catching a flight home - with a heavy heart - after an amazing few days holiday.

Celine II

Love the latest Celine campaign - which features another collaboration with Juergen Teller and Daria Werbowy. The tiles and clothes clash so well - although part of me wants to wear the tile patterns as much as the Celine numbers.

Plastic Keepsake

An understated plastic keepsake from St Marks, Venice. Beats a postcard
