ONE OF OUR favourite Mini Trends of the moment is the very chic pairing of a pair of flared blue jeans with a silk scarf tied in the hair, which is set in a pretty half ponytail. It's pretty and romantic and perfect for these October days when paired with a soft cardigan, cableknit jumper or even a puff-sleeved blouse or white t-shirt if it's a warm day. Here are a few of our favourite ways to style the look, as well as few shopping links ...
AS THE FIRST day of autumn approaches this Friday on September 23, we're resigned to the fact that summer is nearly over. On the bright side, fall clothes are wonderful⏤whether trench coats with wellies; or a chunky knit with white jeans (we are still transitioning after all); tweed blazers and baseball caps; flared blue jeans and boxy coats, here are a few of our favourite ways to dress for these autumn days...
THE LEAVES are turning and it's all back to work and school. Autumn is on the way in the Northern Hemisphere and there is no going back. We're slowly letting go of our linen dresses, bare shoulders and summer whites and adding our favourite autumn things back in everyday dressing. Here, we've rounded up a few items to add to your shopping list: a cosy cashmere turtleneck, a pair of straight suit trousers, and a great handmade belted wool coat...
THERE ARE SOME decades that we don't really know much about⏤the 40s for instance⏤we know nothing about the music from that time, or even the films. We recently saw To Catch A Thief, Alfred Hitchcock's 1955 film starring Grace Kelly and Cary Grant, so we're beginning to become vaguely familiar with that decade, but the 70s, that's one timeframe that has never appealed to us aesthetically, especially after watching the A&E documentary about Hugh Hefner recently ...
WHEN WE FIRST launched Belgrave Crescent in 2014, we created so many editorial stories for our new products that sometimes entire shoots would lie waiting on memory cards to be reviewed and processed. Sometimes some of these images would never see the light of day. Here, on a chilly beach in Scotland at sunset, in a satin playsuit and wellingtons ...
HAVE YOU EVER come across an editorial that is so good that you wondered how you missed it? This editorial, entitled, Ultra-Marine, is one of those. Published in Vogue Paris (before the name change), it features Luna Bijl, a Dutch fashion model who was one of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld’s muses ...
This week's Fashion Inspiration features Lithuanian model Edita Vilkevičiūtė in an editorial by Quentin de Briey for the Vogue Paris October 2020 issue. It's filled with chic 70's styling by way of shearling gilets and plenty of suede, high-waisted blue jeans and brown leather jackets; cosy turtlenecks and belted tweed blazers, short denim shorts and tall leather boots ...
IT FEELS LIKE January was 187 days long. Apparently, here in England, it was the third sunniest January on record for the UK, although it strangely didn't feel that way. Perhaps it's because we're in the third year of the pandemic, or perhaps the January Blues had descended ...
WE HAVE BEEN collecting things we like for the past little while and realised that they all looking lovely together and have a sort of running theme: neutral tones and cosiness, soft light and a kind of wintery feel. There are chunky knits with long cashmere scarves, comfy chairs and coffee table books; slipcovered sofas and quilted handbags, warm wood and winter whites ...
IT BEGAN WITH the image above, a Parisienne dressed in a belted trench with white ankle socks and loafers, things grew from there and before we knew it, we had another folder filled with autumn/winter style inspiration, from cosy shearling and pile to belted puffer coats, baseball caps with blazers and trench coats and extra long woollen scarves, jumpers worn as scarves, clogs and capes, ultra-light cashmere sweaters and more ...
CONTINUING WITH our series that we began last week about the things we like lately and this week, we're looking at the Isabel Marant Spring 2022 Ready-to-Wear runway show; a new hotel opening in Paris this month; Virginie Viard's Chanel Spring 2022 presentation; a bright and spacious Haussmanian apartment by Festen; beautiful minimalist knits, and the elegant work of Studio Ko. Of course, the Caucasus mountains in Russia (above) in full bloom by Daniel Kordan is on the list as well ...
