Old and New x
Kasia Zareba designed the Fossil porcelain collection based on inspiration from the imprints of fossilised plants . The deceptive simplicity, the lack of symmetry and the feeling of movement all lead to a bullseye hit in the design stakes.

Definitely one for the lust list.

The Dirty Shirt x
The true version of sexy isn’t bandeau dresses and containment, in both the physical and metaphorical sense. It’s suggestion and just the right number of buttons left undone. And what better way to achieve that than with the humble shirt?

Beans on Toast x
Just the name Toast takes on a whole new meaning when the temperatures start to drop and the smell of fallen leaves mixed with wood smoke permeates the air.
Their clothes capture that louche, appreciation of nature vibe: Loose cuts, soft textures, muddy palette.
If that’s not enough, not only do they do the best classic grey long cashmere cardigan.

But each one of their eleven shops has a shelf filled with books from customers and staff. Inside each books are hand written notes, explaining how the book has enriched the sharer. Visit a shop to share your own book and take one in return. Genius.

Separate and independent.

Raise it up x
All I want for Autumn-slash-winter is a pair of Docs.
The reasons are multiple…
– Aesthetically pleasing
– A true classic
– One size fits all i.e. No different for either men or women.
Which is a very satisfying comment on life.

So here’s the thing – weather in London, in September – particularly this year – is unpredictable. If the sun does make an appearance there’s the flash of late summer burn, but just as easily the sun can disappear in an instant to be replaced by a cold wind and threatening clouds. What to do? One solution are the 2-in-one coats from Arket. Surprisingly simply yet remarkably flexible they’re an unfussy solution to an autumn – and potentially winter – dilemma.
The clever puffa-slash-underjacket comes in a choice of long sleeves…

Or vest.
I will be trying both the mens and the womens before making a decision.
