LFW Day 1 Outfit : Tartan Suit / Pointed Heels / Umbrella...



Hello all!

You might already know I'm quite a fan of the feminine-androgynous look. By 'feminine androgynous', which seems a bit contradictory - I mean I enjoy taking something quite traditionally masculine, like a suit, and adding particularly feminine elements like a pussybow blouse, cat eye sunglasses and a ribbon tied into a bow on the end of a plait - as I've done here! If you've been monitoring the London Fashion Week coverage you'll be aware of the weather situation. I saw someone tweet a couple of days ago; 'LFW = London Flood Weed.' It's true. It poured. I'd brought my goes-with-everything black umbrella, and with hair tightly contained in the high-plait there wasn't much chance of a frizz flare-up, so I wasn't too concerned, I actually found it quite pleasantly atmospheric. This was a last minute outfit decision although I'd had this suit hanging up on my 'new in' rail for about a week, and I adore it. The shoes however, are deadly (yet beautiful) in a way that is difficult to describe. A feeling I had not experienced from shoes. I said to various people throughout the day who inquired after the wellbeing of my feet - that they weren't painful on my feet, but on my calves  Oh my god my calves. They should market these shoes as a device for calf-toning. 

I was also so happy to see lots of blogger friends, and to make new ones! (I'm looking at you, Becca, Amy & Naomi!)

Paris Outfit : Photographic Rose Print Dress / Cobalt Blue Heels



Hello all!
Tonight I'm sharing an outfit I wore in Paris to go out for dinner (if you can even categorise a dress as an outfit!) I'm a fan of bold prints and florals, so... you couldn't really combine those two things better than in this piece of clothing. I really love how it's so bold and striking but still remains feminine despite the fact that people often associate femininity with soft colours and shapes. This piece is pretty 'pow!' and relatively structured, but still girly and sweet at the same time, in my opinion anyway. The print is so detailed and the colours are beautifully vibrant. Every flower is perfect right down to the droplets of moisture on the petals, although I can't actually decide if it's a photographic print or if it's painted. What do you think? I'm leaning towards photographic.
