It all Green

Its England and it is not so warm anymore!  Now there's a shocker!  But it is green and the gardens do need it so don't mind digging out the winter gear (as long as its soon spring again) x

Speaking of green - driving, me and the man, came upon a number of cars stopped in the road - we were hailed down to stop and crossing the road were a number of toads - helped on their way by helping hands - how cool is that - sometimes i am really proud to be british!  Our eco-pool houses more than a few toads and at this moment they are definitely the only thing swimming in it!  Brrrr xx

Moncler Jacket last winter, Rag and Bone Boots, really old Chloe bag, Zara Sheepskin Gilet,

J Brand jeans, Celine Sunnies (Why???)  x

Calling all Fashion Lovers!!

Vintage Mcqueen!  given to me by my lovely friend Nadia. 

 Fashion history - Yes! Wearable - not so sure?? 

I would describe this dress as Victoriana, meets goth punk, meets bordello with a pretty edge.  

These are not words i would use to describe myself!  

So herein lies the dilemma - me - huge lover of fashion owning a piece of fashion history 

(I could seriously see this dress in the V&A) (i did see it is beige in French Vogue - what higher accolade could it have) and i dont know if i can wear it???  

It is on Dolly because it is too big for me and needs a tailor, so before i cut into  - i face the dilemma of styling and will i wear it?!

Herein is my shoutout - what would you do with it - would you stick on a pair of spotty tights, Mcqueen armadillos and go all out or would you dress down and if so how??

I have put together a few ideas - which is seriously sad cos i have the day off and the sun is shining and i am playing with dolly, an old dress and some shoes!! xxx

Dress in its unadulterated form

Dress for want of a more literate description 'hoiked'

How high would you go?  Front, back - endless permutations??  The decisions!

Cardi, Boots, Statement ring ??

Big Jumper, Statement Shoe and Seriously McQueen Clutch?!?

All items courtesy of my wardrobe over the years - Alaia boots and shoes serious bargain - i dont think anyone else could walk in them and if ever you see me at 2 in the morning you would wonder if i can??  That is also true of me at 7 in the evening in these!! xx

Its Lanvin but not as we know it!

Who remembers the Lanvin for Acne collections?  

They were really amazing - Alber design at a much reduced price (of course this was well before H&M).  This dress was from the first colaberation and i love it - i wear it belted as it is voluminous but to be honest it looks great both ways.  

What i have never tried is as a coat - i think it could work - will have a play one day! xx

Acne Lanvin Dress from Matches - (shout out to Natalie, Catherine and Rob - the private shopping team who found this amazing piece - if you have a fashion emergency you know who to call!!), Topshop belt, Dolce Leopard bag and those new Zara pumps, oh and not to be forgotten amazing mcqueen bracelet/hand art! xx
