'Under leaves so green a happy blossom'

... plucked from 'The Blossom' by visionary poet, William Blake. Fine weather to be outdoors. Still snug in the Joseph tweed crombie-style coat, last seen at Somerset House, in 'Heed the tweed', but this time mixed in with some animals, not to be found running around a London park! The python-print cotton skinnies are by Ralph Lauren, the snake-skin ankle-boots from Pura López, and the vintage stingray bag was a star-purchase from Brockley store, Paraphernalia. Gucci sunnies are worn in the hope of deflecting a little sunlight. 
P.S. The other animals featured (playful dog and a brace of pigeons) are alive and well - and living in south London somewhere...

Hide-and-seek

... but not in the case of this outstanding floor-length coat which simply presented itself and said: Buy me! All I know is that it hails from the Parisian label, Pellessimo and found its way across the Channel. Put together with a pair of twisted Levi's, Ras animal-print boots, and an ethnic bag from favourite charity, St Christopher's Hospice, it's a walk in the park. And even at dusk it's likely to startle the former farmlands of south London!

Tan on the Thames

More brickwork... this time at Shad Thames, pulling in a fine view of Tower Bridge and within a stone's throw of The Design Museum. I have slept on the premises (!) some time before it became a mecca for contemporary international design. Established in 1989 by Terence Conran, it claims to be the first museum of modern design. And it plans to get bigger - with a proposed relocation to the former Commonwealth Institute in Kensington.
I am in all shades of brown, from tan to buttermilk to chocolate between, with my Banana Republic leather jacket, Joseph trousers, John Smedley jumper, Visconti leather bag, Mongolian lamb scarf and my Ras animal print boots.

Me, thee and a tree!

Is there ever a suitable occasion to wear harem pants, especially in white? Only if you're partially disguised by a tree. The linen trousers may well be consigned to a fancy-dress party. In the meantime, I'm 'daring' them with a black halterneck from Massimo Dutti, 'early' Erickson Beamon earrings, Roberto Cavalli sunglasses, wooden animal-print shoes by Spanish label, Rodo, and a basket... which is just a basket.
