Of all the festivals the world has to offer there’s one that stands out a mile for me. Maybe its the Californian vibe (I’m a big fan, who isn’t?!), or maybe its the chic fashion focus, but Coachella Valley in the Colorado desert, home of the annual Coachella Festival, is firmly on the bucket list. … Read more
Passion, innovation & ethical practices for the clothing industry. That’s American Apparel. I love American Apparel’s strapline. It perfectly highlights the ethics behind LA’s most famous t-shirt brand. They pride themselves on quality basics which adhere to sweatshop free policies and are 100% manufactured in the US of A. Los Angeles currently employs over 6k … Read more

Stepping away from the tees and sweat basics, this week H&M tweeted a teaser from their latest high profile collaboration. This time sees the turn of the fabulous French fashion house, Isabel Marant. What was different to previous campaigns, was that this wasn’t a shot of a slender catwalk model, but of Marant herself, modelling … Read more
The late 80’s, early 90’s music charts were dominated by British band Soul II Soul. Whilst music is what we automatically associate with the chart toppers, T-shirts have in fact been an integral part of the brand since their clothing release back in 1990, with a piece of artwork they had designed in 1979! The … Read more
Imagination: The power or capacity to form internal images or ideas of objects and situations not actually present to the senses, including remembered objects and situations, and those constructed by mentally combining or projecting images of previously experienced qualities, objects, and situations.
I’d like to introduce you to something my imagination has been working on recently, just for you: the imaginary outfit.
Bonjour mon friends, what’s the haps?
As you can probably tell by now the autumn season is upon us, in full swing. Those days when I wrote to you about feeling so hot that I could melt, totally unable to cool my jets in the New York heatwave, seem so distant now, as I write to you from a comfortably cool Ireland, reveling in the season that I love the most. And yes, that is largely due to the cosy clothes, layers and wrappings which are perfectly acceptable, and even encouraged and thought stylish, in these cooler months. This makes me happy. I like to wrap up because it feels almost like you never leave bed. There’s something superbly comforting about scarves and knitted jumpers.
Sometimes it’s a drag wearing tights, but you’ve got to shimmy them on. Especially if you’ve got legs like mine that are whiter than The White House, Washington D.C., U.S.A. If it ever gets warmish in the summer, passers by need shades otherwise it’s hazardous to look directly at my pins; they could blind you. Sadly, they never ever change shade. If they’d turn sun-kissed I might be less of a walking polar bear, but the sun won’t even kiss them. Poor leggies.
The world of leg-wear has however, suddenly come up trumps. Poor leggies are not poor leggies any more because they just got two new best friends: Les Queues de Sardines and Henry Holland.
With a helping hand from Les Queues de Sardines, leggies become fancy fancy. Slipping into a pair of these can transform them into anything from……
Being a faker is underrated in my opinion. I love faking (not important stuff you know, but the little things). Like when you’re having a chit-chat conversation with your hairdresser and she mishears you: ‘Really? You’re a brain surgeon?!!’. There’s the brief pause where I scan the room, making sure there’s no one I know … Read more
