And finally some more; apologies for all of the eBay posting. I'll get on with some more worthy posting soon!
Be sure to check out the Button up Shirt, I personally love it and think it's very Alexa Chung. Think her Philip Lim shirt meets the Miu Miu collars with gem buttons and little teardrop details on the collar. Lovely!

And so the wardrobe clear our continues with three new items for sale in my eBay store. Simple american apparel vest, pretty peony print dress, oversized pearl embroidered tee.

I must say this whole clearing out process is very cleansing. Naturally there are those niggling 'Oh, but I may wear it in the future' moments but the 'fuck it, I need money' approach prevails. And it just seems healthy to keep things circulating. When Joanna and I were in America we met this guy from the Czech Republic who had sold his car and most of his possessions to fund his traveling. And many of the people we stayed with just didn't have many possessions as they wanted to have the freedom to easily up and leave without material items getting in their way. Of course much easier in theory than in practice but inspiring all the same.

More items to be added over the weekend including a rather fetching Alexa-esque button up shirt.

daria werbowy


Insightful interview with Daria Werbowy who comes across as nothing less than intelligent, grounded and is of course crazily beautiful in that very casual model way.

dudley, raleigh and ritchie

they know how to wear brown. on a sidenote, I think Dudley (left) is my new style icon. anyone who wears a cord shorts and a fishing hat with their name appliqued on deserves such a title.

The Fall 2010 Arabella Ramsay collection is like a visual checklist of all I'm craving where wardrobe additions are concerned. We're in that awkward limbo stage; outside summer has finally reared it's beautiful sunny glare yet all I want to wear are autumn appropriate suedes, leathers and the kind of dresses that when worn in hot temperatures ought to come with a sweatpatch warning. This collection really is fantastic but given my (usual) financial and this time geographical restrictions (Arabella Ramsay is only stocked Down Under) it will have to serve only as inspiration on my trips to the charity shops.

pendleton meets opening ceremony fall 10

                     F/W 2010 OC shoes... particularly feeling the speckled pair.

The latest collaboration between Opening Ceremony and Navajo wool masters Pendleton continues and these are some snaps from the Fall 10 lookbook shoot. Ballinger siblings tree trunk dangling and trampoline boucing in clashing Pendleton wears? Lovely jubbly.

I think it's fair to say that the lack of a Monki or Weekday online store leaves many of us feeling a little empty inside. It would explain those days when you can never focus-instead drifting aimlessly or nights when you can't sleep. With this in mind after stumbling across
Modekungen.se I practically felt like I'd found religion. Scalloped shorts, duffle parkas and arrays of Monki style jersey from a fellow Swedish outfitter? They also sell tee shirts with lovely portrait graphic designs and stock a nice selection of trousers and weekend bags for guys.

The fact that on top of all of this
truly makes my heart sing is that they ship internationally! (And at not too high a price might I add.) Go forth, go forth and buy!

ps, did anyone squeal as much as I did upon seeing the scallop edged shorts? If I could somehow engineer them out of a brown suede or leather god knows I would.

EDIT: I'm sorry to have to break the news to you but the duffle coat has sold out! It was still in stock in the 'old products' sale section (the best thing about it was the price!) but now it's gone. I'm as disappointed as you are..

I'm having a bit of a wardrobe overhaul so everything that realistically I no longer wear is headed to eBay! I've just listed some items but more are coming.

If you're impartial to Topshop brogues and 70's style secretary blouses among other things take a look. I'm shipped internationally too but worldwide postage prices haven't been included as prices will depend. Drop me a line either through ebay/email/or here if you don't live in the UK and would like to know more.
