When we were packing up for the move to NY I put EVERYTHING in the shipment going with the movers – including my trench. And it won’t arrive for another 6 weeks. With mild weather on the way and our shipment still in ol blighty, I am going to get myself down to my nearest GAP this weekend to pick up a new one. For a sweet $50. Nice!

Isn’t it pretty? This one is in ‘Winter White’ – it’ll set you back USD$395 at the Milly website

I had a very London experience yesterday….

For the past five years or so, my fella has been getting his suits made-to-measure from Gresham Blake. So I joined him on his  visit to their London fitting rooms. Not only did I become a little obsessed with Gresham & Fal’s (the couple behind the fabulous suits) gorgeous pug dog, but I kind of fancied being a man for a day so I could dress up in all the fineries!

According to Quintessentially, high-profile fans of their edgy suits include Jimmy Page, Norman Cook, Nick Cave, Tracey Emin, Steve Coogan and Christian Slater. Nice!

Check out their ‘Off the Peg’ range in the Brighton store – 20 Bond Street, Brighton BN1 1RD – Ph: 01273 609 587

Lucky you, Melbourne peeps! The lovely Virginia Martin has opened her first Bul store – a haven of gloriously beautiful tailored clothing that are as charming as the woman herself.

Find it at:
Level 3
Curtin House
252 Swanston St
Melbourne
t: 03 9663-0390
curtinhouse@bul.com.au

Here’s the appeal for me; I can’t wear shoes with massive heels – and sadly that’s what is mostly on offer these days. But Bul’s collection is perfect for life in the city, sensible yet beautiful. These shoes are destined to be a keeper – especially when teamed with Bul’s tailored coat, oversized cable knit cardie, and pretty dresses. Lush!

When so much fashion (especially in London) is OTT, it’s refreshing to see something that looks like it’d actually be comfortable, as well as super stylish.

Maybe I’ll see a collection at Liberty of London soon? I want!

me want. i just don’t know how to get! apparently they’re part of the spring/summer 2010 collection, but i’m yet to see them available for sale. if anyone knows how to get these, please let me know!

I had £355 to spend on a pair of sandals, I’d get these. Perfect in every way…

For those of you lucky enough to have the cash to splash, buy at Net-a-porter.com

my ‘want list’ has yet another new addition… a lovely Monica Vinander ring (or two). The hard part is I just have to decide which one I like best! These two are the front runners..

Did I already mention Jo Gordon on this website? Either way, I think her lovely woolen bits and pieces are worth mentioning again (I have a scarf, hat and gloves already!) and what better reason than when those bits and pieces are on sale?? and it’s before Christmas?? and when it’s finally super cold in London??

So – get excited for the…. Jo Gordon House Sale New Autumn/winter collection plus archive collections
