Autumn: Bare legs and big jackets

 

Autumn dressing inspiration

Elle Italia 2014

Jackets

More from this shoot I styled recently

More is More

Big fan of this really annoyingly titled ( 'too much of a good thing is superb') story shot by Richard Burbridge for ID. 

Inspired styling is by Charlotte Collet.

Layers

Another post about layering, this one not as colourful as the last.

Hello Cowboy

Cowboy layering

Layered Colour

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

So much to look at!

Cold February

 All wrapped up in an old, slightly battered issue of French Vogue 2011 shot by David Sims and styled by Joe McKenna.

Much needed inspiration for prolonged winter dressing if this month's dismal weather forecast is anything to go by. I've nearly run out of enthusiasm for cold weather clothes and long for spring to arrive so I can get my ankles out and leave a couple of layers at home so that my jackets fit normally rather than being squeezed on rendering my arms virtually unable to move.

Anyway....

Sunday Best

 

Lord John Stuart and his Brother, Lord Bernard Stuart, c.1638, Anthony van Dyck

I hurried over to the National Gallery again after work today and managed to scoot through the doors just before they closed for the evening (yes, I was that annoying person, security guard). This evening I purposefully walked in the opposite direction to the rooms I instinctively head towards, and ended up in front of this van Dyck painting of the Stuart brothers, who were also wards of King Charles I. Wow those boots and lace frilly sock things... Lord Bernard Stuart's outfit (on the right) is particularly opulent. I love all the lace and trimming, the pearl buttons and satin gloves.

In stark contrast on my way out, I came to an abrupt halt in front of this guy

 

 Portrait of Don Justino de Neve, 1665, Bartolome Esteban Murillo

No showing off of fancy frills here. I think it was Don Justino's determinedly steady eyes though, that made the painting feel so different to King Charles' wards. I love that the dog is the one wearing the bows in Murillo's picture. I suppose I have in small ways, been trying to adorn myself in lace recently with my homemade shoelaces. Murillo was a Spaniard, and very popular in Seville during the 17th Century. The Spanish know how to do lace. Click on the ladies below to have a look at some Mantillas I saw first hand last summer.

Layers

I know everyone reads free magazine, Stylist, and has seen this already, but here it is again because I really enjoyed it. All about layers - which have always been good friends of mine, as I really feel the cold. First and second pictures are my favourite.
