BRING ON THE AFTERGLOW: THE SEPTEMBER DIARIES
























An aftersummer without the blues is what we all want. Ironically, this year, we get there riding a wave of blues and monochromes. Click on the cover for a bit of real-life streetwear inspiration.

THE WHITE SUIT: REINVERT YOURSELF
























I used to be everything but minimal, but thanks to an urge to shun old insecurities and to the oh-so-right monochrome palette, I decided it was high time I found my glam and sleek self. Getting old, am I? Bah.

STAY WELL-SUITED FOR BAROQUE
























Leos are essentially baroque creatures, nuts for high drama, opulence, big words, extremes and all that crap. Thus, wearing vintage style tapestry should be second nature...

THE HIGH SUMMER DIARIES: CELEBRATE LIFE


Bring on the next batch of cool pics and blurry exclusives! Plus, GreyCatte turns cowgirl to celebrate her birthday on the last day of Leo before summer wraps up...

THE HIGH SUMMER DIARIES: DRESS IT UP


Sometimes we have to dress up for work, even in the summer. As you can see I've been trying to make that a bearable experience. Did I succeed?

THE HIGH SUMMER DIARIES: ALFRESCO DINNERS, DRINKS & SKYGAZING
























And a seasonal twist to blogging approach, I might add. And the result? Summer flavours and deliciously relaxed outfit inspiration, I hope. Click through and let me know what you think.

A SEASON OF MONOCHROME & PHOTOGRAPHY


Summoned straight from my personal greyscale heaven.

THOSE SMART DUNGAREES: FOUR WAYS TO WEAR


About dungarees, there is one thing you need to know. They do the talking.

OFF DUTY: EIGHTIES JUMPERS, SPOT SCARVES, CARTOON GIRLS
























A day off, a weakness for 1980s jumpers and polka dots may sometimes result in this...

MORE MONOCHROME: WHITE CITY
























An easy transitional look for any kind of weather, just update with the right shoes... and carry a spare pair.

GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS

























If you know me, chances are you have met my inner smartish boy. If not, it is high time.

DUNGAREES: GET DOWN & QUIRKY


Want something très easy, trècool and très now? I suggest you get at least two pairs - let's quickly see how to wear them.

THE BEST DRESS: PENCIL MAGIC

























A simple and sleek number almost too easy to look smart in, VB-style.

CHECK SHIRT GLAM: HIS COWGIRL FRIDAY


Don't you love it when Fridays are both comfy and glam affairs? Mode d'emploi here...

MORE MONOCHROMES: WHILE IT'S STILL COLD
























Let us not invent the wheel - at least not every day. Just wrap up warm and enjoy yourself.

FLASHES OF NEW YORK: DAY THREE, PART TWO


Let's continue our flip-through of the autumn/winter 2013 shows of New York Fashion Week!

NAUGHTY NUN'S NIGHT OUT: CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR


Apparently, church-inspired looks are going to be quite a biggie for next autumn/winter - which is not why I'm wearing this naughty nun's dress now, but still. A subtly opulent, yet very simple gothic look is one of the best ways to make use of a couple of rare and beautiful items in our wardrobes, as well as an excuse to take the current favourite Docs for a ride. I did just that this weekend, for a head-banging jump-around retro birthday party. And thus we arrive at today's burning questions and confessions. Where do you stand with trans-gender style twists? What would you be, and what would you wear at a Vicars & Tarts do?

FLASHES OF NEW YORK: DAY THREE, PART ONE


Autumn/winter 2013 has amazingly cool things in store for us, as the third day of New York fashion week also shows - here's part one, any favourites for you?

WARMTH FOR TWO BY WELLENSTEYN
























As I said, after all those years of teeth chattering, I went on a mission to find portable warmth in cool coats, and found something I did not expect. Co-modelling some serious Wellensteyn is Sir Shebi, number one rock star, treasurer, high priest and chief executioner among other things, of his lot (let's leave it at that), with his own pricey little branded coat. He said to tell you it's not a bottle warmer he's wearing.
