Gaia Repossi: redefining jewellery with quiet modernism.
This ring and choker from the White Noise collection are simplistic in form. They are  just a basic ring and just a basic choker made from gold- nothing fancy- yet their appearance is fresh and exciting. Cue the more affordable replicas that are to be around soon because, like the fellow Berbere rings, these Repossi creations are sure to be trend-setters.

like ice cream and ice lollies and all things summery

You want to go to the beach but its location is out of reach. Sigh. How great it would be to be in walking distance of the sea so you could dip in and out whenever you please and let your bare feet sink pleasantly into the sand. You’d sit down and gaze into the ocean while snacking on something cold and indulgent, a collection of shells by your side to take home as a memento.  Oh why oh why can this not be?

Don’t worry. With Les néréides‘ ice cream and lolly jewellery and Tatty Devine‘s shell-adorned necklaces and earrings, it’s as though the beach is with you whether you are, whatever your doing. Cold and rainy, windy and miserable? Whatever. It’s always summer where these collections are involved.

The Rain boot.

There’s splashes of youthfulness in jumping in puddles. Each spark of water that gets sent above the ground when the action takes place is like a small part of your maturity being smacked away and, when it returns only to get you soaked seconds later, it’s its way of teaching you a lesson. But what lesson? That we need to grow up? Blah blah blah.

As a woman, walking the streets in heels, puddle splashing becomes a thing of the past. It’s highly impractical; A recipe for destroying your £800 Louboutins. You could wear wellies but, despite how amazing a boot they are, you probably doubt the way they look with your outfit. Especially if off on a lunch date or some fashionable event that requires you to make an attractive impression.

So thank you, Miuccia Prada. Thank you for the Miu Miu rain boots- the ones with heels and the ones without. They are colourful and plastic, totally practical for jumping in puddles and are best worn with fun, preppy, sporty clothing as shown at Paris Fashion Week.

What’s on the menu? AW14

All you want to do during the winter months is curl up underneath a blanket and hide from the cold. Either that or stare solemnly at the picnic blanket that’s having to regretfully be stored away, wishing you could sit on freshly cut grass eating lunch together once again. Whichever, next Winter there will be be no shortage of blankets/ capes/ clothing for wrapping yourself up in thanks to the offerings presented to us during fashion month. Who’s got your pick?
