Spring Awakening





Whilst we wait for Spring we are continuously teased by what the stores are already beginning to offer. While I am still wearing my rain boots, I am teased by store windows displays of cute flowy dresses. This Spring and Summer an emphasis has been brought back to the waist, bringing back a more womanly romantic silhouette. Of course no need to get rid of the full comfort we had with past seasons dresses just pair it with a more hard edged medium width belt and you're ready for the late night summer breeze.

City Slicker





The Bukta brand (www.bukta.com) is a UK brand that is over 125 years old and was once sported by the Manchester United football team. Now re-launched and stocked in stores like Selfridges it's reestablishing itself as that iconic brand.

This can really be compared to Member's Only in the US. Both brand had much success in the 80's with their outerwear.

Airy Fairy






Up next in the spirit of the pastel wonders and the fairies and nymphs in the Spring 08 collections. Of course I am referring in particular to Miuccia Prada's take on fantasy. Or the Tim Walker's Jan 2008 Vogue Italia Spread.
