I was paging through W’s Jewelry Magazine and came across the work of Julie Wolfe. I’m in love with the above ring, it feels like an antique egyptian relic. Her pieces are available at Barneys.

I’m loving the ‘artist blouse’ shape that is happening on the runways. It’s such a natural transition from the knit tunic that has been happening for sooooo long. I can’t wait until this silhouette trickles down. The above looks are by Karen Walker, Gen Art, Nicole Miller, and Cacharel.

Everywhere I look I see milkmaid hair. Above are some shots from Jane Magazine and WWD FAST. I love the look, but whenever I try it I look like I’m 12.

I was browsing through Creatures of Comfort and ended up finding Burffit’s new look book. I love the moody pictures. The lace mask is genius!

Topshop just got even better…

I’m obsessed with 60’s hair styles right now, and here is the perfect solution for all of your Londoners who share my obsession: Topshop. Topshop is always one step ahead, they have just created what sounds to be the very best thing in the world, ‘Hersheson’s Blowdry Bar at Topshop’. It’s a pink pod of style located at the Oxford Circus store, and they will be offering styling services at affordable prices. The concept is that there will be a narrow selection of trendy/runway inspired looks. So, now not only do you have to worry about someone having the same top on, they might also have the exact same hair style. I think it’s pretty hysterical, but also amazing. I’d love to get my hair done like the ‘Bardot updo’ shown above (from WWD).

I love these lace imprinted paving slabs from Jethro Macey. Check out some of his other pieces on his site. Another piece worth checking out is his ‘kiss my ass’ mug, it would be great for that early morning cup of coffee at the office.

Headmistress hair…

I was flipping through the pages of British Vogue the other day and came across this pic, depicting ‘headmistress styled hair’.  Finally there was a name for the hair I strive for.  Now all I need is a stylist on call at all times to fluff the back of my hair…
