Say Hello to my little friend...

Boots: Kurt Geiger

Bag: Celine

Cardigan: Zara

Well, well, well, it has been a while!

So sorry for the delay in posting, after fashion month madness along with moving house, it all got a bit crazy so I have been M.I.A on a two week holiday with the beau. 

Feeling suitably rested and recuperated it was straight back into work with a bang (much in the same way the weather slapped me in the face when I stepped off the plane... there is something surreal about being in a bikini one day and winter coat the next.)

It was an out and out 'last season' situation in my outfit choice's this week.

Last season Bordeaux coloured  Zara trousers (to quote Whitney, 'I will always love you' ) Last seasons KG boots- platforms are my best friend when trying to evade puddles- and last seasons Chunky 70's inspired cardigan.

Check out my belated birthday present from the boyfriend: an immaculately preserved vintage Celine bag.

I cannot express how much this little number has melted my heart, she really is the most beautiful bag I have ever seen: classic, the perfect size and multi-wearable... just goes to show, some things only get better with age!

Here come the girls...

The 'Undeniably intelligent designer' Phoebe Philo

The 'Hold your breath while you watch' Mary katrantzou

Ok, so not strictly a 'solo' female, but a female in partnership non the less:

The ' I want everything in the collection' Thea Bazzetti (Preen)

The 'Parisian cool' Calla Hayden (Calla)

The 'aspirational' Olsen twins (The Row)

Following Raf Simon's move to Dior (More on THAT later) a good friend of mine made an observantly valid point...

He said, "Why are all the biggest designer's men?"  

I was just about to correct him when I realised that when it comes to the Heavy hitters and couturiers of the fashion world, he isn't too far off the mark.

The Big fashion houses are steeped in history and they are very incestuous when it comes to their hiring techniques... Lagerfeld, Galliano, Simon's,Tisci, Jacob's and Pilati are all near god-like when it comes to their knowledge and talent but they all have one appendage that no woman can compete with, no matter how hard she tries.
I suppose the old adage of, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is very apt here.

So in light of this, I decided to pay homage to the wave of female designers who are making their mark with their beautiful, innovative and inspiring designs - not only the fashion world but the streets also, with a whole army of women exhibiting their own take on these beautiful designs!

There has been some kind of freak storm here as of late, we went from 23 degree heat to snow in the space of three days?!

Donning an outfit with all the intentions of braving whatever mother nature threw my way, Wind: check, sun: check, cheeky Celine reference: check.

Head over to my sister blog TWICETHEBLOG for more pictures and a little peak at what my fellow beautiful blogger Lisa wore.
