Bonne Année ! 

Inspiration: Ruke

Three is a magic number, I always say.

Take this trio - a photographer, a model and a natural knitwear designer - and watch what happens when you bring them together to shoot an AW15/16 lookbook.

Powerful, beautiful stuff!

Neringa Ruke, I love everything about your Lithuanian slow fashion brand for women and children. Thank you Springjuste for bringing it to my attention.

 Bonsoir !

I know, it's been a while. Life is complicated here right now.

 I'm sorry for being so quiet.

I don't know about you but I can't seem to get in the Christmas spirit this year.

I'd be quite happy to just jump in the car and drive off to a log cabin in the woods somewhere, far, faraway from everything. Mother Nature is the best healer for me.

With this in mind, I've put together some very special links leading you to gifted makers, new shops and creatives.

Every Picture Tells a Story #14

Oh là là !

I bet I'm not the only one that's been waiting patiently for Via Martine's new collection of model photo posters and cards. Elvera gave us glimpses of her gorgeous styling on Instagram, and as soon as I saw that woman's beautiful eyes, I knew she would be my favourite.

We never go over the top with presents at Christmas but this print is at the top of my wish list.

OK Santa?

Shop The Look #3

Et voilà ! In the space of three days it's Winter here!

Out with the woollies, on with the boots, hats, scarves and gloves - this looks like serious stuff...

I find it quite amusing actually. Last week, we were carefree and coatless, walking round the village with a spring in our step - correction! with Spring in our step - , as if we'd  fastforwarded a couple of seasons and could start enjoying Le Printemps. Hélas ... the temperature's dipped into the minuses and the annual parade of parkas, duffels and sheepskins et al has begun.

Which leads me to this week's Shop the Look moodboard:

I don't expect you'll be too surprised to learn that I'm feeling homey and yearning cozy right now... Happy browsing!

Shop Watch: Owen and Hunter

 Naturals, Pale & Interesting, Blue & Linear and Floral  - OH yes, I knew that the brand new Owen & Hunter online popup store would be gorgeous!

I've been following Jane (of Tea with Ruby fame), one of the founders, on Instagram and Tumblr for a while and  I am always drawn to her simple, poetical styling. Needless to say, she also has a beautiful home.

Vicky Trainor, her OH partner, is the talented soul behind the The Linen Garden (Oh my, don't miss this!).  The two friends appear to complement each other perfectly.  I love their curation, their complicity and sensitivity. To be honest, there isn't one single item in the OH shop that I wouldn't like to see chez moi!

Owen and Hunter is a coming together of two like-minded souls with a thrifty nature and a magpie's eye. Together on their wanderings  gather pieces from days goneby. Spinning a tale and creating beautiful items to give as gifts or to fill your home with charm.

The OH online popup shop went live this morning and will be open for 10 days (closes Sunday 22nd November). For the time being, shipping is only within the UK ( a flat-rate postage fee).

Definitely one to bookmark wherever you live, and I for one am looking forward to seeing how these two creatives' develop their friendship and presence online in the future. 

Owen & Hunter - I just know they're going to be full of surprises...  

J'aime !
