Stewart Brown, Fin, and Delforte jeans

I am lagging so behind its not true I have been all over tried everything on and still not managed to get it down on paper. So I am determined to do a round up today of almost everything I have seen and where to get it.. As well as fit and sizing. First of all to the jeans as they were the most painful episode...The ones I loved couldn't fit into but getting myself into a pair of size 27 DELFORTE straights with a minimum of elastane unfortunately did not work... I kept thinkingof Cinderella and the ugly sister episode. But I have to say they are gorgeous and you can get them in a normal size in Badgers in Brighton and Equa in London. IF you have the Levi (dare I mention them) shape then these are the ones for you!!!

On to Stewart and Brown I defy anyone who has tried on Stewart and Brown basics in organic cotton not to wear them to a pulp since I got mine I have manically been drip drying them over night in order to wear again the next day. The weave is sooo thin and smooth its like wearing a gorgeous silky slither my top has lovely long sleeves and has a long tunic like bottom. You can get them from Adili and Devidoll on line(although I think at the moment they only have the tank version) and Equa. The Layering potential is amazing and for some reason they don`t stick.... The sizing is pretty standard a small is 10 to 10 and a half ish.



Fin is a label from Oslo and are organic fairtrade and carbon neutral they also happen to have the most gorgeous trench coats out classic cut but with a twist. IF anything is going to give one the french tailored look this is it.
Tomorrow will give you peek at the THTC new collection and Bailey clothing... ideal for the school run or the office uniform...

Exciting mini private preview from Amoosi Summer



Well have I mentioned how much I love the Amoosi collection and the girls Jess and Nina and did I think they would be able to come up with something as cool as their winter Jacket, of which I am a proud owner. Which I adore because lets face it at mon age its just thrilling to get stopped and asked who I am wearing and where I have got it from. To know that someone is looking for one trillionth of a minute, I think it gives that kind of boost that only vitamin injections must give!!! And no, I have not tried them yet but I have heard ....


Anyhow back to the collection lucky me had the fortune to have a sneak and golly they have come up with yet another winner the summer shirt perfect over jeans,trousers, skirts and shorts. I am not sure how they do it but they have also come up with this great halter neck top which actually creates a kind of cascade of delicate folds over your waist and then finishes tailored on the sides sexy or what.


Plus it could hide a couple of naughty blow out meals if you're that way inclined anyhow these girls are terribly knowledgeable about the female form. They were off to do their summer fashion shoot so I reckon it wont be long before its up on their site




Need to let you know about another couple of fab labels have had peaks on in this last week


as well as a another little jaunt er down to Brighton, cant get away from the place, to see Stewart and Brown and Delforte jeans..... and try them on of course... keep you posted.

Lulie B great shop in Brighton with fab service


Now I know its been a long time but I cant really leave the Brighton episode without talking
about Lulie B. Just recently opened last year and its a haven for us ethically minded shoppers.

Serrafontaine jeans that I have been dying to try were tried you only can find them in Harvey and Nichols I believe but I have to say worth every little penny.. They were about £186 and made me look like some rather swanky long legged gal!

Such a sweet assistant too she explained the story behind every label as well as introducing me to Matt and Nat wow what a label and the material comes from recycled plastic water bottles and vegan leather and they look and feel fabulous..I touched and nearly bought. But I have my gorgeous Tela Bags so until they die no way and I reckon they will live as they are made out of recycled banners and you can imagine how much wind and beating they take. So I guess if some glorious soul is listening I WANT ONE.

You think I didn't fall into temptation... I have to say having tried the whole shop in my size how could I not. I went for a gorgeous Enamore dress in navy blue hemp and tencel mix with a great vintage collar.

But it was on sale of course... So did I feel naughty not one bit........

One of my gorgeous clients had just landed herself a great job in Coronation street and guess who gets to dress her MOI............................... So I have been rushing around half of London sourcing gorgeous goodies for her to wear. She only wears Ethical clothing so its heaven for me my own Barbie doll. So I am taking all these gorgeous pics to show you all the lovely labels I have seen....
