Lino Prints

There has been a distinct lack of blog posts recently as I have been working on new and exciting ventures... Here is a sneak peak of one which is due to hit the screens of One Off Style visitors in the near future, and involves a collaboration with an up and coming West London artist. Watch this space!

Pretty in Pink!

If anyone would like to employ me as a freelance gift wrapper, please get in touch. I LOVE IT.

I was sent this lovely picture last night from a happy One Off customer, wearing a Jessie Harris ring and with one of our vintage postcards that were sent to promote our Autumn/Winter collection. So glad both have gone down well.

One Off/Jessie Harris Collaboration

This week marks an exciting development for One Off with the launch of our first ever collaboration. 

Jessie Harris is a jeweller who lives and works in North London. After coming across her simple but intricate, delicate but heavy handmade jewellery, we knew we wanted to get Jessie on board.

Jessie has produced a beautiful and exclusive range for One Off, working alongside our aesthetic carefully and producing simple pieces that really are unique.

These little brass crystal bracelets are strung on silk cord and will look lovely on any wrist this autumn. A great gift - if you're not treating yourself!

I love these sterling silver rings, and they are my favourite pieces in this little capsule collection. I like how they are slightly unfinished looking - not too shiny and polished. Jessie made them by hand soldering silver wire, making each ring different to the next.

 Ideally I would wear two of these silver rings together, like this:

But they also look lovely alone or stacked alongside your own ring collection. Snap one up while they're still available.

One thing I like about the autumn and winter is the chance to wear my bulging big jumper collection. But there is something a bit deflating sometimes about covering up a really nice outfit with chunky knots of wool. This necklace is just the thing to liven your outfit back up, with a chunky antique rolo chain and silver plated geometric pendant.

Time for you to weigh in this Autumn with your own One Off/Jessie Harris pieces.

Have a look here for more.

One Off: Inspiration for Autumn's outfits

 

 

Lots of checks, layers, texture, colour. Bit of a mish mash but I like the idea of having a different look for everyday.

There's a tiny taster of what's to come from One Off this Autumn here.

1st Place Second Hand

One of my biggest pleasures in life is having an hour, a ten pound note, and access to a high street full of charity shops or bustling market. For many, the idea of picking ones way through rails of often slightly smelly and crumpled second hand clothing is at the bottom of their wish list on a day off – and granted, charity shop shopping has to be done in the right mood.

For me though, the feeling of finding something amazing hidden between casts offs from Primark, something old but better than anything new on the high street because it is unique, is hard to beat. Fashion - as we are so often told - goes in circles. Flares, straight legs and cigarette pants go in and out from season to season, and yet all can be found at the same time in one charity shop. It takes time and determination, but good quality second hand buys that make any outfit instantly different and individual, will always come first place with me.  

 

What presents itself at a market or a charity shop is choice – a look has not been preconceived for you and carefully laid out in different sections of a shop. Instead the choice is yours, and the result is, I think, always better.
