Obvi this collection is cool. Cooler than anything. Its a mix of sherbert and spacedust. Alien geometric disco chic.

Ginta Lapina







How do I say this...


I may be about to renounce Christianity and start my own cult. Actually, this cult probably already exists but I shall call it Bailey-ism. This feeling has been brewing for a few seasons in fact I may have been born with it but I'm totally obsessed and in love with the new Burberry Prorsum collection. I also, for those cynical readers, know i should have already posted this fashion week related rant by now but i have been really really busy so watch out as the fashion week flood gates are now officially open.


This look is heaven, The perfect mix of neutral tones, tough girl studs, sexy black boots and over sized shearling jacket. Don't get me started on the perfectly un-brushed hair. Military will always be big and get ready for shearling.

Love. love. love.

If anyone else had put this together it would look like Mrs Maclean, god bless her, our high school librarian. Instead, Mr Bailey made it chic and sexy like its no body's business. It involves the perfect amount of sheer and the most attentive of tailoring.

I have no words for this coat, oh wait yes I do.. BA-NANAS!
Naughty lieutenant meets Matrix. Yes, he went there. Are you as glad as i am?
Boom! Right out of left field. I'm giddy. Seriously.

Okay I'll stop drooling. This shock of blue is right on cue. Droplets of cobalt have been sneaking in everywhere for the last few seasons and finally it has erupted properly. Well, it erupted in that fantastic speech on "The Devil Wears Prada" but, its back again i tell you. In this case its nice to see more boldly coloured trenches as the sugar shades of Burberry's Summer collection were so scrumptious it would be a shame for them all to disappear.
There are no apple bottom jeans but there are boots with the fur. They are divine and they will keep me awake at night scheming about how i may get my hands on them. Fashion week doesn't come with price lists but according to my calculations they will cost my kidney, liver, right eye and first born. But, me thinks it might be worth it.

All this super chic was created by a man. Can you believe it? Men in fashion are positively out of control at the moment. Mmm...that's a great post idea. Stay tuned.
For now I won't post any more pictures and hopefully that will encourage you to go look at the show yourself. Take with you this: when winter hits, rock military in style as you can buy it anywhere and for any price and watch out for fur, leather clothing (chaps not included), shearling and bold colour injections. They will be your best friends.

Easy peesy lemon squeezy.

Gap tooth girls






So, when i was 12 i went through some seriously traumatic orthodontic work. My teeth were forcefully swayed out of the big book of British smiles and onto the straight and narrow. Years (and years and years) later I am over the trauma (cough, Jan Brady taunts) and enjoy my Colgate smile.Some however, went down the road God gave them and kept their gaps. Gap tooth gals are rocking the fashion world right now so watch out!


Think Lara Stone, Georgia Jagger, Jess Hart and Anna Paquin to name a few. Not to mention Lauren Hutton who never lost her cool.


I and everyone else in the industry love this eccentric look and the personal twist they give our shots.

I might also add, blondes are back. Commanding your attention down the catwalk are Hanne Gaby Odiele, Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson, Raquel Zimmerman. Not to mention Anja, Sasha and Natasha as usual.




El naturelle? Not sure but who cares.. get involved.
