Yippee! Bonsui!!

This has got to be my new favourite brand (this week at least)! Bonsui has not long been out but is available in Topshop Oxford street and it has already made an impression on me.
For me, the epitomy of summer dressing is simplicity and that is what Bonsui have delivered.
My favourite piece is this eyelet dress. The broderie anglaise-esque fabric is so girly and feminine, which I love, and the contrast bow detail round the middle sets it off a treat.
Now I don't know about you but this adorable little number isn't far from very similar to this Moschino "Cheap & Chic" (yehh right!) frock seen on the Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk!


I bet the price tag isn't quite the same.
The Bonsui dress comes in at £60, which is a bargain for this investment piece.
I cannot wait to wear mine this summer. Just need some hot weather!

Thanks for reading :)

I am MAD for Jarlo!

I absolutely love the beautiful vintage costumes in the TV programme Mad Men!

These vintage floral prints are everywhere this season and are a true staple for the spring and summer months!
Where to start looking for the perfect floral for you!?
For you girls which a tight budget but still hungry for fashion, look no further... Another favourite brand of mine, JARLO, offers bold, colourful styling, vibrant prints and vintage silhouettes, reminiscent to Betty’s wardrobe, in the TV programme.

The new Spring collection is a mixture of vintage inspired florals and prints for JARLO’s take on sexy yet feminine fashion. For styles that you will cherish, let JARLO inspire you (it has me!)...

The Rose Dress has finally arrived online, just in time for the sunny weather. I think this is the perfect sundress for a gorgeous girly look. The classic style will suit everyone and looks super-cute with this season’s ankle socks.

ADORABLE!! The Rose dress is available now in white and beige for £55.

The Marilyn Dress is perfect for a day-to-night look. The fitted bodice is oh-so flattering and can be teamed with your favourite pumps or sandals. Swap these for some killer heels for a super-sexy evening look in an instant!

CAN'T WAIT! The Marilyn dress is available in April for £58.

Finally, I love the Grace Dress as it is by far the cutest piece around. It has an adorable high waistline and thigh-skimming hem, which make this just the thing for lazy Summer picnics or sipping cool cocktails on a balmy evening.

SOOO SWEET! The Grace Dress is priced at just £60.

You can check out the full collection at www.jarlolondon.com, if I haven't bought it all first!

Suzie Bubble Being Blown in the Wind

The always daring Susie Bubble in another questionable yet adorable outfit - Silk pants, fur vest, denim shirt and a blue mulberry bag, captured outside Grand Palais Paris during PFW.

Miss Pandora's Hair bow

The gold headband that stole the show, as seen on Miss Pandora during Paris Fashion Week. In the height of the big color trend come-back. Outside Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell, 38 boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, 75010 Paris. 

The Gold Fringe Coat

Rue Royale is used to seeing it's share of bling bling being so close to Rue St.Honore where the high end luxury boutiques lineup.  This woman had no reservation about bringing the brilliance in an all black look with a bright Moschino Gold peccary leather fringe coat. A quick photo snapped on the fly. 

Ao fundo o horizonte

"Aprendemos, amor, com estes montes.

Que, tão longe do mar, sabem o jeito.

De banhar no azul dos horizontes.

Façamos o que é certo e de direito:

Dos desejos ocultos outras fontes.

E desçamos ao mar do nosso leito."

I shot Christine Centenera  outside the Chanel show during Paris Fashion week, she was in a rush so I have no idea of the designers she was wearing. But She sure does makes an all black ensemble pop with that lovely embellished blazer!

The Shoes seem to be by christian louboutin

London Fashion Week AW 2012....Ellie

Ellie Ward, Junior Buyer, designer brands, ASOS.com, London, February 2012.

Love Ellie's Ashish sunflower print sweater! And her traffic-light orange bobble beanie.

Recreate Ellie's look (kind of):

Ashish sunflower sweatshirt or black&white stripe and sunflower sequin top

Cheap Monday mid-rise skinny black jeans (customise with your own strategically placed rips - either with scissors or a spot of skateboarding ;)

ASOS Alibi black leather Chelsea boots



Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Vasilisa

Vasilisa Pavlova, after Carven (she closed the show), Paris, March 2012.

Crisp, clean, neat black and white...a touch masculine, classic and very wearable.

Recreate Vasilisa's look (kind of):

Madewell shrunken white boyshirt or create a stir with this Acne poplin shirt (sweet, demure peter pan collar at the front.....until you turn around. Hello oversized keyhole back! This would be fun to wear at work. Keep your jacket on for meetings and wear alone for after-dinner drinks - or while sitting at your desk :).

Rag&Bone/Jean The Legging Jean in black

Jil Sander Chelsea boots or ASOS Alibi Chelsea boots



Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Grace

There is something about New Zealand born, Paris based Grace's style that I absolutely adore. It's...unaffected, undone, honest somehow....rather like that of another one of my girl style crushes, Ursina. It is refreshing to see at fashion week. And of course I am crazy about Grace's freckles ;)

One of my friend's said to me at Chanel, "Ness, I just photographed a girl you would love....she is SO your type". When I looked at the photograph on the back of her camera, it was Grace! It is funny that most of us photographers at the fashion weeks have a particular type of girl/style we like photographing. It is what keeps things interesting, I think.

Recreate Grace's look (kind of):

Whetherly Noam double jersey tee or ASOS double-layer tee

Max Studio dark brown leather coat or Marni caramel leather coat or Vince leather coat (a great trans seasonal piece) 

Duffy grey wool and cashmere beanie

Marc by Marc Jacobs electro blue Too Hot to Handle zip around wallet or wristlet  

Smythson orange Keep Calm and Carry On notebook (a motto I like to play on repeat in my head during the fashion weeks ;)

Essie mint candy apple nailpolish (do you see the colour of Grace's manicure...and her hand chain? So cool!)

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Poppy

Poppy Delevigne carrying Tommy Ton's new utility satchel for Club Monaco, London, February 2012.

How pretty is her double-slit skirt? And I think we all want to get our hands on one of Tommy's bags that he designed in collaboration with Club Monaco. Would you choose the satchel or the backpack?! My pick is the backpack (great for hauling cameras around).

Recreate Poppy's Look (kind of):

Ecote double-slit skirt (hellllloo Coachella!) or Tibi pretty blush coloured silk-chiffon maxi skirt or Mulberry dreamy, swishy tulle maxi-skirt

Givenchy skeleton print tank top

Lot78 Riley leather biker jacket or Acne leather biker jacket  

London Fashion Week AW 2012....Taylor

Taylor Tomasi Hill, Moda Operandi's Artistic Director, London, February 2012.

I really liked the capsule collection she designed for Lane Crawford (how gorgeous is that sequin tassel skirt - imagine the way it would shimmer when you walk- and the leather and lace shirt?).....I hope she does further collaborations in the future.

Recreate Taylor's look (kind of):

No.21 electric blue floral print blouse (love the combination of blooms, lace and blue silk-twill) or embrace Spring in Warehouse floral top  or Textile Elizabeth and James Austin shirt or if you prefer a little-less-saccharine sweet, this shirt from Proenza Schouler.

Instead of Taylor's beautiful winter-weight flared trousers, try By Malene Birger Cara high-waisted flared trousers in navy for Summer or Vanessa Bruno vibrant coral flared pants (fabulous with a pair of wedges).
