Chinese New Year 2015

















Last weekend I took myself along to the celebrations in Chinatown, in London's West End to welcome in the Year of the Goat/Sheep. What to wear? My favourite vintage cheongsam in green, a colour which is said to promote health and harmony in Chinese culture. To keep out the chill factor, I put on my newest purchase, a Michael Kors puffer jacket, in flat-out orange, along with a home-knit scarf (thank you, Mary). More shades of orange with my vintage jewellery and woven nylon bag. And what to wear in my hair? Why, a handful of cocktail sticks, of course. And after the jam-packed festivities, I beat a hasty retreat on a Boris bike. Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Isabel Marant pour H&M












Last night saw an exclusive shopping event preview: Isabel Marant pour H&M collection, in London's West End. The world, and his best-dressed wife, were out and about in H&M's store on Regent Street, sipping champagne, munching canapés, listening to DJs and making early-bird purchases. To the event, I wore the fakest of furs from the '70s; red leather trousers, featured in 'Double Leather' and 'Artists' Open House'; a pair of Ras boots; and an African woven bag, my latest find from favourite charity, St Christopher's Hospice.
