It's About Time!!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's high street T-shirt label has FINALLY arrived in the UK!

After launching their highly successfull fashion label The Row and their more contemporary collection Elizabeth and James (my fave), the award winning womenswear designers launched the new high street collection in the USA last year. 

The T-shirts are well-fitted, versatile and well priced going for between £18-20  each - no excuse not to buy them really! 

        

175 years young

The Royal Academy of Arts will be host to Hermes this month, when an exhibition celebrating the 175th birthday of the brand opens on the 8th May. The exhibits will trace Hermes' history from the start as a saddle and harness-maker right up to the current handbag, leather and accessories brand loved all over the world. The best news yet, the exhibition is free! So you have no excuse not to go.

The Fox is Wild

I don't know what it is with me and florals today, but I am feeling the vibe, so go with me. I think its because I feel I need to brighten things up a bit. What better way to do it than with this:

For You? For Me!

Acne was founded in 1996 by four creatives, their ambition was to create an develop a brand through the production of desirable products. And boy did they. I have desired every piece of clothing in every collection so far.

I am currently lusting after the For You Linen Trench Coat, which is wrongly named, because its for me. I want it. Its mine.

Not a shoe. Not a sandal.

The Problem: The Weather
It is making us all go crazy, one minute its raining, the next it is sunny. I have found that I need to bring two outfits for work, I travel in wearing boots, scarf and carrying an umbrella. I leave wearing sunglasses and a light jacket. I cannot be dealing with this frivolous mind changing from the weather.


The Solution: Jeffrey Campbell - Be Well In Black
It is all in the name. In-between the shoe and sandal. Waltz in to the office whilst your colleagues are pulling off their wellies, and give a smug little laugh.

Kat Maconie

          

Kat Maconie launched her label in 2009 and in a matter of years her label has boomed and her shoes are seriously sought after.

The collection of design led shoes fuses fashion and function. Signature gold screws and embellished trims are featured on block heeled shoes boots and ballet flats. Your feet are not burning after wearing with them as they do with a certain Mr Louboutin because of the luxury padded insoles, but what she makes up in comfort does certainly not lack in style.

I adore this brand.
