UNE

I have just realised my blog is one today. Any excuse for a party in a pair of killer heels.


The past year seems to have disappeared in the blink of an eye. New job, new city, new life. I started writing this blog just to share my random musings and never expected anyone to be interested, yet in the space of a year it's been read in Russia, South America and everywhere in between - mental! 

It got me thinking about all the things I want to achieve in the next year, to name but a few.....

1. Get a super hot yoga body.
2. Go away with my closest friends in the whole world and celebrate being a year older with a massive fuck off party.
3. Eat at The Fat Duck.
4. Start taking more pictures, I always see amazing things to photograph on my travels and never seem to have my camera on me. Epic fail at times.
5. Following on nicely, learn how to use photoshop PROPERLY.
6. Walk around Paris in stupidly fabulous heels.
7. Invest in one piece of couture.
8. Have an Audrey Hepburn marathon and watch every single one of her films I can get my grubby little mitts on.
9. Finish reading all the books that I have recently ordered from Amazon. I never seem to find time to pick up a book anymore let alone finish one.

Anyway muchos gracias for reading, hope you have enjoyed my ramblings, going to try and post alot more often in the next year as well. Pinky promise.

Hang Tough

I'm currently drowning alive in SS12 samples, press days, and AW12 Fashion Week plans, so whilst everyone else is thinking about what to wear to Christmas parties, I'm surrounded by broderie anglaise, candy colours and planning LFW off-catwalk shows for a season that will be in stores a year from now. Proper Back to the Future vibes at the moment. Without the bad 80's hair. 

Basically my office looks like the Louis Vuitton show had a gang bang with Barbie and then decided to throw a fuck off fabulous party. The outcome is unconfirmed as yet.

Anyway, something pretty for a Wednesday afternoon. Or pretty twisted. Probably the latter. And it involves stuffed animals. Which means I love it even more.

All - a retrospective from Maurizio Cattelan currently hanging out at the Guggenheim. Literally.

Enjoy x M

Disappear Here

I'm a bit of a shoe whore. Alright, a massive shoe whore. If I ever feel shit, a bit of shoe porn is guaranteed to cheer me right up, and instantly make me feel like a member of the ensemble in Sound of Music. Or like I've taken Ritalin. I honestly think my idea of  perfect date would be one held in Selfridges shoe hall.

So something to cheer up a freezing London morning, these bad boys. I've got on my soap box before about art/fashion/sculpture *delete as applicable but I think pictures speak louder than words. So behold......

Andreia Chaves is a Brazilian footwear designer who has studied form, texture and visual effects in Florence. She fuses art, sculpture, fashion and geometry to create what can only be described as my own personal Holy Grail.

The Invisible Shoe, part of a series of concept footwear, is an asymmetrically mirrored low-cut shoe boot,  which has a chameleon quality blending in with the environment and reflecting your surroundings to make it an ever changing part of your wardrobe and an art installation at your very feet.

I absolutely J'Adore these boots. I want them so badly it hurts, and think I would probably sell a kidney just to own them. I'm not even sure I would wear them out of my flat, maybe just do the hoovering whilst admiring the reflection of the Henry in them. Just saying. x M

Prabal Gurung

One of my favorite shows from NYFW so far, and a bit of a departure from Prabal Gurung's usual style. It was a bit purple heavy for my liking, then again I do have a horrible habit of dressing like an extra from Twilight. The standout pieces for me were the black (just for a change) dress with cut-outs and net detail, skinny painted print trousers and the leather and sequin embellished nude dress with am amazing bondage-esque harness...Opulent, graphic and a little bit naughty.
