How to winterize summer dresses


Pocket dress, parka and grey mens jumper: H&M (the mens jumpers there are the best).  Shades: Ray Ban. Boots: Topshop.  Scarf: Love Quotes (my favourite). Bag: JCrew

Here's a video on how I wear dresses as it gets colder. The above works for short or long dresses. Big styling tip for Autumn?  Have a mix of thin and thick knits to wear under or over dresses.  If your dress is plain, go with a patterned knit and vice versa.  

Either way have fun.

Similars to the video:  ASOS dress. Oversized jumpers by Topshop or Unique or a cropped knit by Haute Hippie.  Topshop or Full Circle parka plus Topshop boots. Hat options: Brixton fedora, Eugenia Kim knit turban or slouchy beanie by Cheap Monday.

Where Did U Get That - Gemma



(Audio required)

I have started to shoot a video series for my street style blog (here).  Above is the first one.  I love photographing people on that blog, but as a reader I think it's invaluable to see a person brought to life every few days beyond a still image.

New videos will be posted on both blogs.

Gemma is wearing an H&M skirt. Topshop shirt & boots.  Vintage back pack. 
Similars to Gemma:  Topshop skirt. Topshop shirt.  Swedish Hasbeens boots. Bop Basics beanie hat. Kenneth Jay cuff.  Rebecca Minkoff backpack.

Late night


Dress & purse: Gypsy Nation Vintage. (Similar dress & bag).  Vintage Fryes: eBay (these are the next faves). 


Quick pic heading home one night some time ago in a lilac vintage dress.  I wore it with vintage Fryes and the metal purse.  God I love that little thing. It's just big enough for the iPhone, tissues, keys and business cards. Better pic of it (here).

Dress: H&M (other long sleeve minis here and here).  Skimmers: ALDO (these work too).  Cap: H&M (similar here). Bag: Alexander Wang. Round sunglasses: Topshop. Mini cross necklace: W shop (similar here). 


A video of me wearing a mini dress with a few "How To" points I tend to (roughly) follow.

Steve Jobs




"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary"   - Steve Jobs


These words are taped to my desk at home where I blog. They are there to keep me focused and inspired.

The world has lost an incredible creator and mentor.

I can only imagine how many reading this right now are using a product by Apple.  He has changed how the world communicates forever. 

RIP Steve Jobs (1955-2011).

Structured


Bag: Got it at JCrew.  (Almost caved on the leopard version).

I'm reeeeally getting into lady like looking bags for Autumn. The structure and shape feels right against knits. 

Funny thing is, I first saw this one on someone standing next to me on the train platform.  I thought it was vintage - it looked so luxe. She told me it was from JCrew.  My eyebrows raised and by lunch time I was at the shop.

Initially the shorter strap put me off so I didn't get it - I like longer straps.  Within 10 minutes of it arriving at home I loved it all over again. (This colour was sold out at the shop so I tried it on in the black). 

I spotted it a few days ago on Vanessa Jackman's blog too.
