Trends: Stationery gets fashionable!
This is a trend that I hope doesn’t go away too soon; Fashion design collaborations with stationery manufacturers. Some of you may know I have a bit of a stationery fetish; nothing like a crisp new sketchbook or a virgin rollerball pen. Mmmm. Marc Jacobs for Moleskine: Everyone loves a moleskin – I certainly do....
Here comes A/W… And some Birthday buys
In my previous post I talked about my epic hunt/experiment with AW trousers. You know, trousers, remember them? They’re back, and in a big way. During the hunt, I also bought some AW stuff, in a quest to not waste my money in the stuttering and faltering sales on things I don’t actually need. Also...

AW Trends: Yumi
As I said in a previous post about Yumi and our AW lookbook, I promised I’d post the trend boards for this season. Mainly because I curated and designed them! So these should be up in my Portfolio soon – I need to make a ‘Graphic Design’ subsection. I can’t publicicse most of the work...

I design all the POS for the stores and concessions nationwide, the lookbooks, posters, as well as the website graphics, assist on garment designs and also run the blog and facebook and twitter pages along with the...
Coveting: Motel Celia Dress vs Basso & Brooke
I’ve just spotted this in an email Motel sent me, and just have to talk about it. I normally discard Motel emails; I love the brand but rarely see anything that grabs me and says, You Need This. If I could afford to buy more Motel I would, I’ve got a couple of dresses and...
Inspiration: Imke Klee, Trend Stylist and Photographer
I discovered Imke Klee through Trendland – if you don’t subscribe, you really should, it’s always helping me discover new fashion designers, illustrators, photographers and other general cool stuff. Unfortunately, her bio doesn’t really tell us a lot about what drives her ideas and concepts and what makes her want to photograph so methodically and...
Trend Watching: Animal Shape Clutch Bags
I’ve come across an interesting trend recently: Animal shape clutch bags! I know, amazing right? Firstly, I saw this post on Krisatomic’s blog called Clutch Menagerie and just love love them. Check it out: They are by Tsurubride on Etsy and retail at $80. Check out Tsurubride’s Orwell Clutch bags on Etsy here. She also does purses...
Underwear as Outerwear: The trend continues…
…And I’m so happy about that. Let’s not be hasty though, it’s hard to pull off. And unfortunately, not for those who are a bit iffy about their bodies/tummies in particular. In the not-so-real world of the fashion world, Marc Jacobs does it well. Here is the Gaga herself wearing the trend with no holds...
