It says a lot about how Britain has always been a big part in founding fashions, &...

Just got a few films developed. Some of these photos are left over from summer. I feel life through an old camera lens appears better than reality...

For a while now I have been planning to make a little black dress & a few weeks ago I decided enough was enough & I made myself one when I was stuck for something to wear on a night out.
I've decided to sell it on Etsy as it is sort of an essential right?
The dress is made out of a lovely mix of organic cotton & bamboo, it is stiff...

A few weeks ago I made up this custom version of my 'Oh Grandma' cape. I love making up new pieces & when someone asks for something different or a new combination it is such a joy. Especially as these capes are all made from vintage velvet so I can only ever make a few out of one piece of fabric.

You may have noticed some amazing knitwear that I used in my AW shoot a few weeks ago? Well, they were all hand knitted in South London by my friend Siobhan for her shop Bless The Weather. She's just set up a little business knitting gorgeous chunky snoods/scarves/headbands.
Check out the Etsy shop here.
Here are some of my favourate photos from the day...

Greyscale Days
Friday, 9 November 2012
The sun is rarely seen these days. We've had some beautiful crisp autumn skies but they seem to have disappeared behind a grey cloud & I have forgotten what they look like.
I have too many tailors dummies they are taking over. I am doing my best impression of one here.
Today I was wearing my Iris dress, it is wool & lined & has...

I haven't been to London for a few months & am really missing being able to stroll around exhibitions over & over, especially the hours I used to spend staring at the dresses in the permanent collection at the V&A.

When it came to finding accessories to style with my Autumn Winter 2012 collection I had a few ideas in mind for a long time. I was so pleased when Zoe from Ladybird Likes agreed to send me some of her beautiful jewelry to photograph for my look book. As the theme was British countryside, creatures & flowers, I'd been eying up her butterfly necklaces for...
