As the last sparkly sunlight sighs over September we enter the crisp Octumnal time where scent of cinnamon and pine can be found… I’m wrapped up warm in my Ollie&Agnes Beret and their super snug knitted Choker – perfect to wear to work as well as lengthy walks through the leaf fall ever homeward bound to hibernate…
Natalie Imbruglia was looking knockout this morning on GMTV performing her new single ‘Want’ in a fabulous leather dress that had a great figure hugging cut whilst reamaining both sassy and classy… not unlike the Vintage Issey Miyake dress I just happen to have in shop now!
Hurrah! I’m so pleased to announce the first company to accept my invitation to join the ‘Guest Label’ spot is Ollie&Agnes.
Who have conjured up a range of hand-knitted hats and hand-knitted woollen flower chokers; made in the UK, using UK acrylic wool. These items have a truly old-fashioned feel and are lovely to WEAR! Can’t take my Olive Beret off my head – perfect just in time for those autumnal walks…
The hats are already on sale in a couple of shops on the south coast.
Ollie&Agnes also sell the quirky birdie necklaces and with more stuff on the way they definitely ones to watch!
Ollie&agnes, an environmentally conscious young label, is taking small steps in the big world of fashion.
London Fashion week is in fine throttle – nothing like a dose to get the creative blood pumping
What I’m loving so far:
Erdem’s feminine frilly numbers
And Basso & Brooke painterly effect whimsical dresses:
Lets be whimsy and floral and dance and sing… La la la dee dee da…
The simply gorgeous Holly Willoughby doing what she does best; looking sexy and sassy in floral dresses on the Xtra Factor – a show you may of heard of? Again, let us dance, let us sing…
Oh! But looky-here a simply gorgeous vintage floral number from extinct design for sale that is very similar to Hollys! Marvellous! Well done everyone 
Ah so today they arrived! What joy you bring oh sparklery green…
Since I’ve changed my hair colour, I feel like I need a new glamour-puss wardrobe to accompany me on this mind, body, hair transformation…. so NEW SHOES!
Of course I advocate the second hand and vintage shoe buying, but when nothing quite hits the mark I recommend going after exactly what you want – no ifs, no buts, no I’ll get them when I’m thinner/richer/blonder etc..
These Killer Kurt Geiger Shoes called “Dolly” in pretty emerald sequins (I actually squealed when I first saw them) are superior in quality, stopping buying cheap imports, shoes from supermarkets that don’t last a month and tat from down the market is particullayry fashion savvy and v saving the planetesque. Lets blend old with new (and sequin shiny…)
*Be still my beating heart *
We’ll be together for ever…
