It seems like ages ago that the Autumn/Winter Fashion Weeks graced us and often times I confuse sartorial seasons with actual seasons. Mary Katrantzou’s AW’12 collection certainly blurs the line between spring and autumn… and it’s brilliant.

If you didn’t know any better you could rock these frock in the spring!
It’s been an awfully long time since I last updated my blog, but I was prompted by some generous comments to get back into sharing the images and things that I find beautiful and/or neat. And I’m back, not just from anywhere, but from the land that produced the Beetles, Alexander McQueen, the royal family, and quirky words and phrases that I wish to adapt. (So don’t mind me if I drop some a “cheers” here or a “mate” there). I’m just trying to fulfill my dreams of morphing into a Brit. Did I mention that I saw the Queen last week? She was wearing an precious tangerine-coloured skirt suit. In addition, I’ve been taking in beautifully scenery, architecture, design, fashion, and not to mention people, everywhere. Stay posted for some glimpses into the London Aesthetic.
