YES, IT'S TRUE, Anna Dello Russo can pull off nearly any look. The Italian fashion journalist is known for her bold style, but this double duty denim look is surprisingly wearable.
IF YOU'RE in the midst of a Corporate Girl Summer and need outfit inspiration, we've got just the thing: the ever classic tan trousers (or pants in other parts of the world) with a crisp white shirt combination, the perfect soft neutrals for summer days.
YOU LOVED our High-Waisted Shorts for Summer Days selections so much, we couldn’t wait to share another variation of this look. Instead of cream or beige-coloured shorts with white or blue shirts, this alternative involves mixing black tops and white shorts.
ACTUALLY (finally) saw Blow-Up (1966) just last summer. It was one many “classic” cultural films on my list, and the first I’d seen in which Jane Birkin appeared. The Michelangelo Antonioni directed film was one of her first roles and while it was a minor one, you could already tell back then that she had screen presence ...
IT IS MIDSUMMER and our very favourite time of year. We love the long, hot sunny days, and all the wonderful things that this time of year brings: picnics in the park and Thames-side bicycle rides, drinks on outdoor terraces and high ponytails and bronzed skin.
IT FEELS like 2021, which is the last time we wrote about blue shirts being a trend, as well as tennis skirts, which are also trending at the moment, as they did then. Perhaps they never really went away.
THIS INSTALMENT of Style File features model Sara Ramén, who was born in Australia to a Swedish father and a French mother. She credits her heritage for her affinity with these cultures, despite growing up in Perth. Ramén began travelling on her own around the world as a model in her late-teens with Marilyn Agency and Storm Models, living many different places, including Paris, London and Sydney.
“Blurred Lines” wasn’t supposed to be a meaningful song. It was, by design, a trifle: Pharrell, in imperial-superstar mode, goofing off with the white soul singer and textbook sex idiot Robin Thicke and tossing in a tongue-twisting T.I. verse later for good measure.
It was when I was researching a story on that I realized there truly was no escape from the influencer industry. If business bros with corporate jobs in tech and finance — stable, high-paying careers with cushy benefits! — felt the need to supplement their status (and possibly their income) by becoming influencers, what hope was there for the rest of us?
JUST STARTED watching Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Le mépris this weekend and will tell you if it's as good as everyone says. If you've been at The Shop recently, you'll know that we've been busy⏤we just opened a new print shop (with many more pieces to come!) and have added beauty products to our line-up. They're vegan, organic, and handmade in Auvergne.
WE FIRST INTRODUCED you to German style blogger Livia Auer three years ago, in 2019. While Auer still loves berets and trench coats, her style has evolved and become a little more sophisticated, with long knit dresses and striped jumpers added to the mix. There are tweed blazers and trousers and waistcoats and bouclé jackets and blue button-down shirts, oversized sunglasses, denim jumpsuits and a bit of a 70s vibe...
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...
WE HAVE AN unexpected bank holiday today due to the queen's funeral, which marks the end of what has been a whirlwind of non-stop activities leading up to this point, all exhaustively covered by the media. Things reached peak Britishness on Wednesday of last week when Sky News set up a live cam so that we could watch people queue in real time ...
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...
