Coming up Roses..

I am a speck of dust hanging gently in the air as I breathe in the expectation of this Collection: Rosie Assoulin AW14, eager to get close to the flame.

Waiting to feel that magic touch of satisfaction.

She doesn’t disappoint: She has a knack of designing wearable hyper-potent scene stealing pieces that ooze cool glamour like a smoking tea infused cocktail.

This I would happily waft the rest of my days in. Rolled up and poshed with kitten heels or laid back with white sneakers.

There are more pieces in this Collection than SS14 and (as Julius Caesar flashes neon in my mind) it’s not all perfect, but I tell myself: Don’t linger on the negatives…and I love the trousers.

There’s always a reference to the classics but then the heat gets turned up with unexpected references and clever tailoring.

Until I find myself dancing in a light and sun-drenched land, where puddles are figments of the imagination and umbrellas are objects of curiosity…

    What an amazing collection and a great way to catch up – I’ve been missing a lot lately! I could wear absolutely everything and not only in my dreams!… I mean I can see me in each and every piece, in my every day life – and that’s rather rare for me! I’m keeping an eye on Rosie, already looking her up in parallel!

    I love the slouchiness of the pants and the super crisp jackets/coats. And then I see the blouses, skirts, dresses — the list goes on. The rainbow dress is gorgeous, but for a taller form to do the fabric drape justice. Wow!

    I wish I was tall and angular so I could wear these. Love this collection, especially the grey coat and the limey mustard evening wear. Gorgeous – totally brightened up my day. We’re getting trenchfoot here in the west country xx

    I love the full burgundy skirt, and the jacket with a lovely dressage/ side-saddle inspired flare, and that red coat… wow! Jx
