And Other Stories

I'm not keen on names that are random phrases but since & Other Stories is an off shoot of H&M, it probably doesn't matter.  What does matter is that blogger Garance Dore recently photographer street style star Giorgia Tordini and her sister Giulia in their winter collection in Stockholm, Sweden. The clothes look quite chic and I'm disappointed that I didn't think to stop by their stores in London and Paris.  But that just gives me one more reason to plan another trip.

Loving London

I think jet lag has finally caught up with me so I'm taking the night off. Or maybe I'm exhausted because I walked (and shopped) all over the city today. I'm loving London overall but one of the highlights was being overwhelmed with options at Fortnum & Mason for gifts for myself and others. But what I really love is the signature blue green color that is referred to as "eau de nil" or Georgian Blue. It's the color that I most associate with London. I picked up a few things in the shop but I have a feeling I will be placing a big online order when I get home since my suitcase isn't big enough for the picnic hamper, or the china, or the giant tins of tea.  Or maybe this just means I need to plan another trip next year. 

Cheers,

Chic in Soho: BDDW

I happened to be in Soho Friday with my camera so I stopped by a few stores and showrooms.  I haven't been in BDDW in a while and it's clear I should stop by more often.  The furniture is always amazing but I really loved the autumn inspired wall hangings. They also seem to hold archery competitions in the showroom.  Don't see something like that very often in New York.  But more importantly, I wonder how I can get myself invited to participate.

Styled to Perfection

One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots styled in interesting interiors and it makes me wonder if this is Emerson's own home.  The best creative people are those who are creative in every part of their life and it's clear why Emerson Fry is so chic.
