White Weddings

It's that time of year when it feels as if every single person you know is getting married. There have been a few famous weddings lately. I'm a bit too late on the down low to publish about the Royal Wedding and I wouldn't even care to. I also was pleasantly surprised by the lack of fuss caused by the other and better Kate's wedding.
I am also a little bit late with this post but I have to mention the admiration for my favourite Stylist's wedding which proved that weddings can be very stylish and you don't have to lose all of your own personality and style to settle for meringue dresses and floral head pieces.

Katie Shillingford is a stylist that I have followed and admired for a very long time. I was very happy to see her marry her partner Alex Dromgoole at the end of July. I immediately had to see how great she looked, her Gareth Pugh pale grey slashed chiffon dress was the perfect touch of goth needed to go with her perfect pale skin and purple wash 30's waves.
I have never wanted to get or be married.. but if I did. This is how to do it. I am very happy for the couple and wish them all the happiness in the future.

Cultured Clash

There are not many editorials that make me want to completely change the way that I dress.
Stella Tennant in Vogue (Sept) pretty much makes me want to become a "lady", dripping in clashing geometric prints and drowning in heavy perspex.
