I love this blog. It is like an explosion of colour and JOY. While I may not be a big colour wearer myself I can certainly appreciate it and Ken Done. The Social Studio is such a fantastic idea and a GREAT cause.
I am probably just one of lots and lots that have posted about this so I will keep it brief. Sonia Rykiel for H & M – I love it. I love it even though horizontal stripes are my worst enemy. It is so bright and fun and has that dash of colour among black which I normally try to achieve with layering. Pretty!
Why isn’t H&M in Australia yet? Or have an online store (in English)? Annoying!

I woke to sad news this morning. Rest in peace Alexander McQueen. Your designs were incredible and your shows amazing. You will be missed.
‘it’s important that you feel right, so i use an instinct at the last moment. what i think is unbearable is to wear something that we don’t feel comfortable in. it’s completely, totally psychological. one dress you felt so happy in for that day and that occasion, you put it on in another moment and all the magic is completely disappeared. there is a very tricky [relationship] between the occasion and your mind at that moment.’
