Working on my website at the moment and looking through my old shoots. Big thanks to Anna's parents for this one, who lent us every rug in their house...

Vogue China 

By Ben Toms and Katie Shillingford

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.

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....

Berets and Brogues

I've been thinking about ideas for shoots and have been seeking inspiration high and low. While yet another 90s throw back is certainly not on the agenda, I did happen to come across a shoot in an 1994 edition of Italian Vogue that I thought captured the vibe particularly well. It probably helps Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista the models too.

Shot by Steven Meisel, the pictures capture the sultry school girl mood so well, without slipping in to being overtly sexy which can sometimes feel a bit wrong.

Food for thought.
