Bohemian Rhapsody x

(Isabel Marrant – Shannon jacquard knit wool blend poncho)

Think boho and immediately summer and freedom spring to mind. But there’s a seasonal boho too that captures the warmth of open fires, fallen leaves and crisp mornings..

Poise, power and grace..the colours and textures inform the story: an inspired heritage of folk songs, earthy cowboys and fantasy indians all creatively mixed up with a little bit of Mexico and South America..

(Isabel Marrant – Adil hooded striped blanket coat)

(Burberry Porsum – Wool blend tapestry boots)

Twinkle toes for the closing in nights..

There’s a whispered joy in watching the leaves dance whilst being snuggled up and letting the world walk on by..

Making a Point..

Vans. Fail safe, classic and easy…but could there be room for change?

What about pointy Vans like these by Nicholas Kirkwood now viewed from above??

Sneakers with a heel and now sneakers with a point..who would’ve thought it. But this actually feels like a rather nostalgic nod to the once must-wear pointed flats of the eighties..and it’s always nice to find a forward moving mash…

WELCOME to the Maison Bentley Style Blog Paaardy!

SO delighted you could come..please step aboard the Christina O..the iconic yacht of Aristotle and Jackie Kennedy Onassis..let’s skip over the water into blue sky dreaming for we’ll be sailing the seven seas ending at the bottom of the rainbow..watch out for shooting stars and dazzling delights..

Some Cristal Champagne? Please – I insist..we need to raise a glass to the frivolity and the successful porting of this Blog..long may she float!

Just be careful..Ditta Von Tease is reclining in one of the glasses..

Today I couldn’t resist the lure of vintage…it’s hard to beat an Ossie Clark dress with all the flow and curve in just the right places..a touch of bohemian chic amongst the sleekness..

Teamed with an outrageous pair of Nicholas Kirkwood kicks..no change from a grand but then they are appliquéd in iridescent moonstones..and who’s counting?

My clutch? Vintage Chanel..it’s a bit of a fav..

And this little rock? It’s the diamond Richard Burton gave to Elizabeth Taylor..

The earrings are a nod to my seventies dress..black diamond briolette hoops courtesy of First dibs.

Feel free to mingle..come join the noise and indulge..Billie Holiday and her band her playing in the ballroom..

Be a dancing butterfly and walk amongst egos, clink glasses, breathe the air and laugh!

all the following pics courtesy of the Daily Mail. Nice people..

I hear Marilyn is somewhere in the crowds..and there’s a rumour Elvis is going to sing..

But don’t get too ~~drunk~~ distracted… I have all these other wonderful Parties for you to head off too..work your way through the list if you dare..please send them all my love!….and remember….you can always come back!
