Harper's Bazaar - Rebel Chic

The November issue of Harper's Bazaar is out and it's pretty inspirational. It's the "Icon Issue" with Stephanie Seymour on the cover, it goes through the most iconic dresses in fashion such as Twiggy's sixties mini shifts and Audrey Hepburn's LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany's to Tom Fords Sexy ass white dresses for Gucci.

But the part I loved the most was the Rebel Chic photo shoot styled by Alison Edmond. It features loads of sequined tops, sheepskin sleeveless coats and Zipper skirts. Some pieces are from Balmain and are not the typical outfits you saw on the runway.

I just think this is amazing styling by Edmond and great photography by Alexei Hay.





These are my favourites from the fashion shoot and I'm working on finding the actual images on the website (I used my camera to take the ones below).
Im loving the YSL Trib two shoes in 3rd picture. Serious shoe envy.

Richard Nicoll!

The first I heard of Richard Nicoll was in UK Elle magazines run down of all the designers in the A/W fashion week. I was blown away by his simple, smart and well made pieces that are my current craves. Another attraction to his line is that while everyone else is going plaid/lace mad I can turn to his cute and original collection when I'm getting sick of all the overkilled trends, though I do love plaid and lace. A lot.


These are just some of my favourites but you can have a real browse of a great collection here or here.











This dress is another one of my favourites it was in Nicolls A/W 2007 collection. It's unlike any other lace dress thats been made this season.
