Hanging on
It’s hot. Summer still seems to be holding on in Zurich. It’s 30C today and it’s the last weekend that Letten, the river by my house, will be open. As far as I’m concerned, after today summer is over. All I’ve been wearing are simple neutral basics… denim cut offs, black stretchy skirts and white t-shirts. It’s my failsafe summer wardrobe. Tomorrow I’m headed to London for two weeks – for fashion week and a couple other projects. I think it will be officially time to embrace autumn dressing.
Wearing: Trove t-shirt, Monki skirt, Super sunglasses, Topshop scarf and sandals.
p.s. the water behind me in these photos is the river I’ve spent the entire summer by.
La femme
As soon as I saw Maison Scotch’s aw11 collection I was sold. I love the mix of masculine and feminine details – the tough leather jackets and skin tight skinny jeans mixed with Parisian style peacoats and army parkas. The colour palette is spot on. The pops of red next to rich navys, denim and black are exactly what I want to be wearing this season. Every single look I love and want to wear right now. I swear I could cut and paste my head onto any of the outfits and think it was a something I’ve worn… okay, minus the red beret.
It’s almost enough to get my wishing for colder weather. Almost.
p.s. the campaign and look book is totally gorgeous. Check it out here.
eBay in Stockholm
Last week I was invited out to Stockholm for eBay’s autumn/winter advertising shoot. Yeah, I was surprised at first too… eBay do advertising shoots? From the pages of Vogue to the walls of the underground – I remember seeing the images from last year everywhere. I wasn’t really sure what they were all about though. Turns out there’s a little outlet tucked within the pages of eBay that offers new products from high street brands at up to 70% off – this is the direction that eBay are moving. Don’t worry, they wont be getting rid of 99p vintage bargains anytime soon. It’s just an addition to what they have already become known and loved for. Sara Dunn did the most incredible job at styling the shoot. Why do I always think I need to buy brand new pieces from designer shops to create great outfits? She used last season’s pieces and still managed to create inspiring looks. Besides just playing with all the accessories, I also presented a behind the scenes video that will be available to view later this month…
Massive thank you to Rachel for inviting me out and Daniel for being the ultimate chef.
Sunset
Sunset on the balcony in a hybrid skirt-top-dress… mustard pleats worn with a leather-front/grey-jersey-backed top felt perfectly transitional. I really need to find a black leather jacket to replace this more summery jersey biker style one that I’ve been wearing to death. It’s looking rather ragged and has definitely seen better days. Anyone have any suggestions on where to find one? I’m thinking buttery soft, slightly cropped, fitted… and at a price that wont break the bank.
Wearing: American Apparel large leather clutch, Madewell jacket, Topshop ambush boots (not pictured) and top/skirt stolen from Shini’s closet.
