Warsaw

DELICIOUS vodka, Chopin's heart - smuggled back from Paris in a bottle of cognac by his sister - flea markets, frozen walks and a night at the opera... Just a few highlights from a flying visit to Warsaw last weekend. 

 

Monday's Wanderings

A library visit for more Patti and shoot research (this time a unbelievably huge Guy Bourdin reference book), riverside walks and imaginative window displays at Frame shop

Keeping warm

Helsinki gingham and powder pink carnation

How I'll be looking on the beach this autumn

Faux Fur

This coat has been at the back of my wardrobe for a few years now, after an ex boyfriend said I looked like a Golden Labrador in it (don't necessarily think this was insult in his mind, he really loved dogs).

 

Here I am slightly overheating Westfield.

 I think I will dig this back out properly for winter. Never sure about light coloured fur, but as this is so big and warm I don't think I will be able to resist, even if I do look a little canine. 



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....

January Colour

I enjoyed these splashes of colour over the weekend, pre sleet and snow. Including pins for head scarfs

glittery ribbon

 and the world's most enormous hair clips ever!!

 Surely almost bigger than most people's heads.

Picture Perfect

Recently I have noticed lots of walls, gates, shutters etc, that would make picture perfect backgrounds for the fashion blogger trend of papping daily outfits outdoors. I like the last two spots in particular.

Leather Skirt

Following a recent post about winter essentials, it must be said that this One Off Style leather skirt has to be one of them.

 

More great looks for winter here.

Hats

Catherine's hat speaks for itself, and love Rosa's bobble hat, green tips and fur collar.

Cold Toes

Liverpool last week, and Min's late October Beachwear.
