>> I have a penchant for the sort of 'My Seven Days of Style' features that Japanese/Korean magazines seem to love.  So me thinks most people know that the most of these features aren't a REAL reflection of that person's week.  Nylon Japan dispatched photographer Reina Senga to my house to document seven days of outfits within two hours.  Apparently within two hours, I had packed in a meal to St Johns Bread and Wine, a shopping  trip to Brick Lane, a gallery visit, a trip to the cinema as well as hanging out in my house.  Quite a feat no?  I surprise myself sometimes..

I think the issue is out now and here are some of the photos that went into the mag... errr... here's what I wore in the "week"...

>>...and the small gusts in Paris...and the camel (actually just this particular vintage jacket that I picked up on a whim in Camden Passage)...but it's mostly the pinks courtesy of a square printed jacket by Preen and that ye olde pink PVC skirt that I'm feeling.  If the blues denote something blubby and bleurgh (words beginning with bl required...), then the pinks are the start of something new and egg-citing.  I definitely have the pinks...can't give specifics yet because there are none but the pinks, along with the camel and the gusty winds have sparked a change...

P.S. This is early-morning cryptic writing...

(Vintage camel jacket, Preen pleated draped jacket, vintage cashmere jumper, vintage PVC skirt, Margiela black and cream skirt, Irregular Choice shoes)

>> I did say I wasn't really going to post anymore outfit pics from London given that I a) had the tired eye thing and b) most of the week was marred by crummy weather.  That is until I remember that the wonderful Vanessa Jackman had snapped me on the last day aka MAN day looking quite satisfied and cosy in my layers and swathes (I seem to love making reference to blogs I'm reading these days...).  She really hones into the personality of her subjects with her pictures whilst also managing to shoot a diverse array of people on her blog.  I'm just glad she sees me fit to be featured alongside her most enticing subjects...

>> I was waiting out on posting on Chau Har Lee just because I was thinking that once her own domain name was set up, perhaps her own proper line is being established and that she won't JUST be remembered for her structural RCA graduate collection.  Her graduate collection along with a few new styles were on display before the Fashion East show started down in the vaults at Somerset House and I'm hoping the wooden styles in particular will make it to some shop floor or another. Structural shoes that are merely editorial props are a painful affair, which is why I got extra happy when Atalanta Weller had ventured into retailable shoes. Me thinks that Chau Har Lee has a slightly easier task on her hand transferring her sculptural, laser-cut visions into functional shoes because that was her intention from the very beginning when she embarked on her graduate collection.
