We love bibliophile hand-bag designer Olympia Le Tan’s witty designs based around first edition covers. They’re the sort of pieces that would start a million conversations and that you would treasure forever and (reluctantly) give to your great-granddaughter!
With her uplifting, irreverent take on accessory design, she could be the next Lulu Guinness. Read more about her on Dazed Digital.
January seems to have gone on forever, and I just can’t wait for February! I’m so sunshine starved that last night I actually dreamt about a blue sky!
Spring fashions are also looking like the stuff of dreams too. After the shoulder pads, studs and moody palette of Autumn/Winter’s Balmania I’m welcoming spring’s fever for prettiness with open arms.
But to keep flowers fresh think beyond vintage-inspired floral dresses. London Underground-saviour ‘Stylist’ magazine have got florals on the brain too- here are their ideas:
I’ve already got my hands on one of the Topshop vintage-style printed bras which is so pretty I’m almost tempted to attempt the terrifying ‘underwear as outerwear’ trend, and I adore the Mawi Rose necklace. It’s perfect for this season and would look amazing with this Spring’s muted pastels but it’s such a classic piece you’d wear it season after season. (Valentines Day is just around the corner- time to start hinting…)
