I am prone to a crush.
And also inclined to lose interest and become blazé about the familiar.

When you consume fashion like I do it is not surprising. The more I focus, write and feature what’s in, the more I feel particular about what I like and don’t. I will never set the world on fire with my choices; I am a ‘traditionalist with a twist’ kind of girl. Admiration for others zanier like Zhandra Rhodes or Dame Vivienne Westwood is simply that. I know what I want and I am happy to play along.

Rarely do I click and feel covetous. Today I did.
Nordstrom generously asked for an edit of their designer wear for the coming season – as they are my number one when it comes to a department store, it is not a hard choice. My mind was full of white; I had seen a very fabulous photograph of winter white cashmere and felt inspired to do the same. Forget that for today – we can talk that through another.
Co are not a brand I am familiar with. As soon as I started browsing their essentials I wanted everything pretty much. Beautiful fabrics and simplicity of style are what I am looking for and clothes where I can be me. I don’t want to look like I am wearing someone else’s wardrobe. When you are of an age where personal style is certain then when you see it, you know it.
