Temptation..

Ahhhh the summer sales..that obstacle course of want versus need against lust. Thankfully there are some good places to plunder – MiH being one of them. Offering reductions up to 60% at the moment and they don’t just flog off crap stuff. Hold out if you dare and it eventually drops to 75%.

Practical, effortless and the right side of quirky.

Kick Start x

It’s that time of year again to slap on the glitz and layer on the lippy…except it’s never really like that. It’s more like normal clothes with a touch of fairy dust.

So far better to get the staples right..and MiH are having a sale right now…

Tempted?

Blue Collar Worker x

Shrugging on a teddy bear winter coat is the perfect way to embrace the increasingly cutting edge to this colder season.

MiH – The British label based in London, has some of the best – the sort of coats that people can judge you in without knowing you. And get it right.

They don’t shout, instead they gently ooze with knowing cool.

Because good lines and soft textures cleverly jigsawed together make a potent force.

Sometimes the greatest power to dazzle is just by the simplicity of what is there.

Timeless x

The AW15 lookbook for MiH fell into my inbox yesterday. WHAT??

…Does that mean summer’s been and gone??

And nobody told me?

If so I’m perilously close to tears..

There’s enough time slipping away without anyone else turning the speed-up dial.

Honestly, halt with the Christmas lists already.

I just want to enjoy my pina colada on the beach.

MiH Magic x

MiH, the original British jean brand have brought out their easy wear, always stare SS15 Collection.

With their love of denim and lashings of groovy inspiration, their designs are classic, pragmatic, clever and very independent.

You really sense it’s an high energy, slow process with thought and quality poured in.

They catch the nostalgic vibe of pre-mass market, when things were built to last and gently soften in the sun, improving with age and use.

To be worn collecting sea-shells on a sandy beach..or blinged up with statement jewellery at a posh party in London.

They work.

Wholesome, exhilarating food for the eyes, I can eat it all standing up…and always want more.

Mih – Damn Fine x

There’s a great sale on at MiH with some damn fine denim…I went for a pair of Marrakesh flares reduced from £174 to £52.20, they arrived true to size, beautiful fit with suede soft denim with just enough elastic for a good cling – what’s more, even though they were a sale item, they arrived with a gift of a midnight blue canvas tote bag with silver..I’d show you a picture ‘cept Bella’s already run away with it. Top Marks.

Boyfriends for Girlfriends x

A friend is looking for a pair of boyfriend jeans – I’ve lived in my vintage 501’s virtually all year and for pure value, nostalgia and style wouldn’t wear anything else..but I reckon these by MiH might just be her perfect cup of tea!

(How can a patch be so appealing?)

And the rest of their autumn/winter lookbook isn’t bad either..

Stunning Shibori..

(From Fausto Puglisi Resort 2015)

There’s a quiet revolution happening which originally had it’s routes in Japanese culture but for me will always sing of the seventies: Shibori tie dying..

But now it’s far removed from flower garlands and hippy communes and is steadily seeping it’s way onto the catwalk..

Even Michael Kors Resort 2015 can’t resist..

From MiH jeans who have a particularly fine range this season all in glorious indigos.

But the joy is this is something that anyone can do – especially with inspiration and advice available all over the web:

I love this video..I want to be there and play!

One of the best written tutorials I’ve found is this one from Honestlywtf, making all sorts of shapes and techniques look utterly effortless and astonishingly beautiful..imagine these as individual napkins on a summer table…
