Two Thousand and Eleven.

Well the New Year is upon us. I have gained a pair of Khaki pocket skinnies from my darling friend, some vintage goodies from another, mugs of all shapes and sizes to take away with me (I assume much tea will be drunk in the mornings to rid me of my jet lag) and gorge floral fabrics to adorn my new bedroom. It is, my lovelies, now exactly 22 days until I leave for American soil. I am beginning to have a tiny breakdown. Most of my room is assorted into various boxes for packing and I am running out of time to make the various photo albums of memories I promised myself I would. But I have spent lots of quality time with my besties in the snow, country pubs and alcohol fuelled nights in town. Furthermore, I am very much looking forward to my last three weeks in England, starting with a road trip to Nottingham to visit my oldest friend. Sixteen years and counting and we are still as ridiculous as we were when we were eight years old. I hope 2011 brings you all everything you wanted. Peace out.

Snowy Streets

When the heavens open and the world becomes covered in a soft white blanket, the temperatures drop to levels only low enough for penguins to enjoy and the need to venture outside of my front door becomes smaller and smaller, I suddenly find myself reassessing my wardrobe to be completely inappropriate for cold weather. My coat does not go with my boots, my cardigans won't fit under my coat and I can't wear enough socks to keep my toes from freezing. If like me, you find yourself not able to set foot outside without becoming Miss Practical, this selection of my favourite street styles this season may be of assistance to you. A little reminder that there is hope at the end of that snow covered winter tunnel.

Polkadots

This season of Exit Magazine features a beeyootiful shoot by Benny Horne with little theme other than the newest must have trend of Winter - polkadot tights. As you well know, I cannot say no to anything that includes copious amounts of chiffon blouses, flowing beaded silks and soft knits. This is one of these occasions, and I'm sold. Entirely. There is never a realistic time to wear transparent clothing, it is completely impractical and quite frankly, a little slutty. Yet within the pages of glossy magazines, it looks absolutely divine. Feast your eyes on some Marc Jacobs and Valentino this cold snowy morning.

Antonella Arismendi is doing some good things for fashion photography right now. Her back catalogue is extensive and I have just spent the best part of an hour swooning over her projects, from dusky motel innocence to beautifully dismal gothic, her versatile talent transcends many genres, which is why, I think, I have a major crush on this lady and her camera right now. All praise the Queen.
