Hats to you

When I was in Madrid this summer I was interviewed by the style section of a local newspaper and the headline was something about how I couldn't believe people there didn't wear more hats considering the wicked heat. While that wasn't the most important thing I said I still stand by my belief that hats should be more part of our summer wardrobe. This boy knows what I'm talking about! -His shoes are pretty great t...

Too cool for school

With their pouty poses these girls look like the school Queen Bees. But that's just for the camera. In reality they were nice as could be. So what's working here? Beige lace motorcycle jacket and dress (not together) the pink hued hair and off the shoulder top all look great without looking like they're trying too hard. Because they're so n...

Long + shortI have developed a slight obsession with this type of outfit. I love wearing short denim shorts together with long cardigans or long, delicate blouses or shirts. Adding a vintage bag and statement shoes adds the perfect touches (+ a lot of large rings!)Source: vanessa jack...

TUTORIAL- Pre-shrink Wool...Fast and Easy at Home! (revised)

Many of us are ready to sew our fall wardrobes....and I am too!So I thought you might be interested to know of an easy yet professionally effective method that I use to pre-shrink wool yardage. It is one of a few methods that I learned during my Tailor Apprenticeship.(This is a revised version of one of the most popular tutorials I have written. Since I have so many new blog followers since it was first published here last year, I thought it was time to revisit it :) First...the fabric! This luscious yardage is from my stash. One of the pieces was purchased from Gorgeous Fabrics a few seasons ago. The green check yardage is 100% tropical wool...

Amanda Dolan at her opening

The fall art season has not yet begun and I've gone to two gallery openings this weekend. Painter Amanda Dolan art is decidely feminine -dripping with hearts and the color pink– but underneath there is something a little bit darker and edgier, not unlike the artist herself. Her dress split in red and black almost seems like a reflection of this...if we were to take it literally, which we won't. If you're in Soho check out her show at the Ward-Nasse gallery now through September 16...

Old Spitalfields Market: Antiques Day

When I was a little boy early on Friday mornings my dad would often take me to the Bermondsey Antiques Market, which fascinated me. Especially, as I had been told that under some obscure medieval English law the traders were allowed to sell "dodgy" and stolen goods (See: Marché ouvert).Ever since then I have loved antique markets and I now continue the tradition with my one-year-old Arthur, taking him to antique markets. Above and below, some of those traders at the Spitalfields market and a short movie about a new evaluation programme Old Spitalfields Market is pioneering, which I thought may interest you...The market also occasionally showcases...

Shaved sides part 2

So I wanted to show one more girl with this type of haircut...and now I'm done. I also like this girl because she's so androgynous...usually it's the boys who rock that look (and the occasional model). The skateboard's a nice (if unintentional) tou...

Trend alert: Shaved sides

I know I brought this up last winter but the shaved sides style has taken off and is here with a vengeance. What I hate are the girls with one side shaved and the other side long and stringy looking. It looks to me like they started copying Britney Spears head shaving fiasco and then suddenly stopped. But I do like the short on top looks on girls. Emma here is particularly adorable. Also love her shoes and Peggy Noland jack...

I didn't post yesterday. Very rare and my apologies. But to make up for it I'll do two postings today. What do we think of these looks? Do we like the cartoon print sweatshirt that reminds me of children's bedding with the leggings and black shoes? I found these boys rather endearing in an odd sort of w...

Gaga Inspired?

I don't know if Lady Gaga inspires more creative dressing or if she's just a reflection of our times but I suspect it's a bit of both. I'm not saying this girl is trying to be her, but simply that the idea of wearing a leotard as your main garment doesn't seem as strange as it would in the pre-Gaga era. I like the Lanvinesque jacket and her big glittery bag. But what I really love is her makeup (although the lip color clashes with the red on the jacket) I don't normally comment on makeup but her lips are a great color and look stained and glossy at the same time as though she's just eaten forbidden fruit...and she wisely kept her eyes simple...
