Like every January past and probably every January future / in January 2015 I made a resolution // a resolution that might ordinarily have dwindled away once February arrived // not this time though / this time I actually managed to stick to it …. so although pre Jan 15 the gym and I were acquainted – post Jan 15 we are frankly buddies – friends if you like……to the point where a year on a large portion of my wardrobe now features d […]

Amongst all the noise – sometimes what we need to hear is a clear voice // just a simple thought that cuts through the drama…..the same goes for fashion // the looks we return to again and again are often the cleanest, the simplest, and yes, usually the easiest to wear….Clarity // aren’t we all looking for it? It’s not just me , right? The latest range from Finders to hit stores is all about finding that point of space, […]

Have you ever looked at a piece of clothing – a simple piece – a piece like the STARSTRUCK SKIRT from Australian label The Fifth label’s range MIRAGE for example – and considered how it gets from page to STAGE [so to speak]? What were the thoughts behind it – who created it – how was it conceived to be worn – how can it be worn and who is wearing it now? That journey starts with an idea of […]

This season, our favourite colour is denim. Like monochromes, the durable fabric simply goes with everything. Indigo — stonewashed, preferably — can be teamed with stripes, whites, reds or any other colour or pattern you find in your wardrobe. You can also double denim your outfit by mixing different items (or even shades) of denim together as we’ve seen in past decades and we are beginning to see again now… The 90s are back and so are the 70s. During […]

Summer time, and the living is easy… Well, hello spring! The clocks have gone forward (any chance they could do this on a Friday afternoon, at say 4pm, rather than stealing a valuable weekend hour from us?) — but we’re not complaining about the loss of an hour, for the days are getting longer and there is more chance of doing outdoorsy things. Picnic by the lake, anyone? Garden parties, summer raves, spring picnics, alfresco dining, campfire fry-ups, it’s […]

It’s time to take a linear approach this spring for the classic print is getting a fashion makeover. Whether it’s timeless monochrome stripes, mixing or reinterpreting the rigid stripe format, our favourite brands are showing us how it’s done. In Finders Keepers’ latest spring collection Lumiere, we are seeing freehand stripes that allow a refreshing interpretation of the classic pattern. For the brand’s past collection Harvest we saw panels of diagonal stripes juxtaposed with horizontal stripes on intricate silhouettes of […]

‘Cause I’m a gypsy ‘Cause I’m a gypsy” ….song lyrics that drive to the very heart of the latest Wildfox collection – Shakira, Shakira…how did you know? ……well of course she didn’t – but given that the “She’s a gypsy” collection for Spring 15 was conceived by Wildfox Creative director Kimberley Gordon out of a need to escape, cut loose and live off the land those song lyrics certainly resonate….. Gordon’s vision for Spring 15 of a group of girls […]

As far as we’re concerned winter is done. As far as we’re concerned, winter is done. Once we’ve cured our New Year’s Eve hangover, got rid of the Christmas tree and started all things new, fresh and better, isn’t it about time to switch to spring? What we all need is some good old Vitamin Sea. Beach please, warm sun kissing our skin, slurping exotic fruit cocktails and hearing the to and fro of the waves… Paradise! Time to plan […]

Spring – a time of hope and promise, change and regeneration – or at least so we manage to tell ourselves… new diets, alcohol free months, gym membership – every year…year on year…with much success? Well that depends of course…One thing though that can always be relied on is that need – wish – desire for a new wardrobe – a new look – a new you for this glorious time of hope and promise – seriously even if everything […]
