We got these boys to pose and someone else hijacked our pap - u know who you are!
We were trying to figure out who Jack was all night – we never met him. Who is Jack? Jack is everyone that filled an industrial coutyard off Vyner street. We spoke to quite a few of the Jacks who had all collaborated to bring their first A4 issue together – they’re also launching Jack TV soon, we wait in anticipation.

Friday: Glorious day so decided to risk wearing a whole lot of white. Jean Pierre Braganza jacket and Complex Geometries dress with Black Milk leggings and LaRare shoes. Ended up being late for work so shoved on my red Underground London winkle pickers to run for the bus. OK, maybe not run exactly – flay my limbs in an approximation of running is perhaps more accurate.

For those who don’t already know about it, this weekend you should be visiting Hackney Wick. This is where all the artists moved to from Hoxton when the went went through the roof and the city boys moved in. It’s been compared to the warehouse district in NY in the 80’s. This is where BITCHY HQ is too.
Useless information……apparently Hackney Wick has the highest concentration of artists studios in the world.
We all live here and work here, it’s like a holiday village. Everyone says hello to each other on the street even if they’ve never met before. I’ve learned so much living here, if I can’t do or make something there’s always someone who’ll help out or point me in the right direction. There’s no art wankiness or pretension, it’s great.

Skived off work today to take my friend Jane, who’s visiting from London, shopping. Dressed for comfort today so Les Chiffoniers leggings, Simone + Muntheson top, grey dress, Topshop floral blazer and Topshop Unique shoes. At the last minute I took off the blazer and just shoved on a plaid shirt instead. Carried the vintage quilted bag again as I can fit my reusable shopping bag in there!
After about 5 hours hardcore pavement pounding the heel tip came off one of my shoes which meant I had to walk around making a really annoying clacking sound.
Couldn’t wait to get out of the leggings so changed into my Rich & Skinny jeans and Converse to go and walk the dogs. Wore Blu Notte by Bulgari which is amazing.

As soon as I had set Line’s post free like a fieldmouse into the wilderness she got back in touch. I was right, she’d escaped to Norway on well deserved break. This girl has serious talent so I felt a follow-up post was in order to permit you to see her work in all it’s armored tank glory. Another one I’ll be keeping a close eye on over the coming year.

A couple of weeks back I visited the New Designer’s Show in the Design Centre, Highbury and Islingon. I’m still working my way through those I rated the most. Having been a jewellery designer and buyer for the last 5 years this is one area that I naturally gravitate towards. I passed by Line Jorddal’s stand and unfortunately missed her which is a shame as I’d really like to have discussed her collection in greater detail.I’ve been trying to track her down but I think she’s back in her native Norway for Summer.

Wednesday: I’m mixing tweed and animal print in this outfit. Vivienne Westwood jacket, Norwegian Wood cage skirt, vintage zebra t-shirt, cheetah leggings and Topshop Unique shoes. Today I put back the Balenciaga and swapped it for a vintage quilted bag.
I bought this perfume ages ago and I just realised I hate it. It’s called Inspire by 1000 flowers…or something. As you may have realised I’m a scent whore.

I’ve just had a conversation with a stylist friend who’s borrowing some clothing for a forthcoming shoot and he’s kindly introduced me to the wonderful world of JW Anderson, a designer pushing the boundaries of menswear as much as the boys in the clubs East. I was mental busy setting up this when the shows came out so didn’t have much of a chance to do as in-depth analysis as I wanted so this completely passed me by. What a nice Tuesday surprise.

Tuesday: I was really excited to wear these new Alexi Freeman sheer trousers as they are glorious. Sadly it was pissing with rain but I am never one to let that stop me. I was determined to wear this outfit which consists of American Apparel white mesh dress, United Bamboo top, Givenchy wedges and Topshop organza top. I love the sheerness of the outfit, which I couldn’t resist hanging up on the window sill when I got home from work. I ended up taking the Givenchy’s in a bag and wearing some old boots to work, changing into the Givenchy’s at the office. Wearing Jil Sander perfume today but wasn’t in the mood for the smell so was sick of it by the time I got to work.

Born in 1961, Foxton has played a pivotal role in forming and defining key shifts in menswear over the last 30 years. Many of his images fuse gay sub-culutre and streetwear. When you’re a boy celebrates men in fashion photography specifically men who create photographs of men. A rather unusual slant for the Photographer’s Gallery, this show focuses primarily on the stylist and his collaborations with photographers Nick Knight, Jason Evans and Alasdair McLellan amongst others.

Street style – GREAT but I’m taking it indoors. I’m into fly-on-the-wall fashion. People look nice and rock great looks on the streets but I’ll be delving deeper on this blog. I have a very special style feature starting Monday where I will be asking my Muses to give an insight into how their fashion brain ticks.
I have a very special guest for the first feature, a girl who I really respect, who has inspired me to do this blog and who has helped me spread the word…….WATCH THIS CYBERSPACE……

Gritty reality and crying are inspiring me today.
