Polka Pogo

Yesterday started with a very late brunch in our favourite breakfast place in Glasgow, Heart Buchanan. They make eggs benedict like nowhere else, plus the staff are very friendly and even when I am full I end up buying a little cake for later...

YUMSTER!

The weather has been very mild this weekend, a change from the -10 of last week! It means I was able to wear this little jacket that I got in the sale. £20, bargain. The problem is, when you buy something in the high street shops like River Island, you see people with the same thing as you all the time. In the 10min walk from the flat to HB I saw two girls with this jacket, haha. I'm glad I was wearing it with personal accesories like my favourite sailor hat, this scarf made by my Gran Mami Pink and this new Max C handbag I got for £20. Bargain again.

 

 

The day finished with some pogo stick exercise in the staircase! Not the most practical when wearing a playsuit...

I got this playsuit in a vintage shop and got it altered, it's very cute, makes me feel like a guest in the film The Party.

The beautiful necklace I am looking at is a Christmas present from my parents. I adore it, it looks like audio tape. You can play with it and it never looks the same. It's from French designers House of Done.

SHINY!

Snug as a Leopardug in a Rug

Hello! Happy New Year everyone :) Hope you all had great holidays!

Time for the blog to stop being on holiday, which is why there is quite a lot of photos and photos of...the SNOW! It snowed a lot here and was so cold I couldn't go out without my furry gear! I thought maybe animal print tights would keep me warm, I was wrong...

Glasgow looks beautiful under the snow, I wish it could last for 3 months...The streets look like a Dickens novel setting, mid 19th century people walking on the roads, I was expecting horses to come trotting next to me!

My feet were so cold, despite the angora socks, that I almost envied ugly girls in ugly uggs. I sais ALMOST, the snow hasn't froze my fashion brain yet.

I just found out that Gossip Girl isn't back till March and I have to say I still need to recover from that outrageous news...

I am now on holidays, looking forward to the two weeks off, xmas in Lyon, seeing my family, hanging out in my house, eating tons of delicious food...and then seeing mommy e in Oxford and New Years in London with Michael :)

I am making chocolate cakes and drinking tea in my Percy Pig mug, looking at the snow flakes.

Putting the big gloves on tonight: thai boxing to warm me up!

Hazy Shade of Winter

Hello Blinky!

Fashion is like Physics: nothing is destroyed, nothing is created, only transformed. You think something is gone and Bang! it comes back in your face: 3 years ago, wouldn't have been caught dead in massive shouldered/ epaulette clothes and BAM Balmain arrives and you want them everywhere: blazer, tshirt, sequin dress, you name it! You think you look well cool with wedges, well, my mum was wearing them on her bike back in 1976!
In the same way, you think you create a new look and invent new clothes but the inspiration is always somewhere, you will find that someone in the 1840's was wearing the same type of shoes.
Still doesn't stop me pretending to be an inventor...


For instance, first time I wore this outfit, my colleague said "You look like a Mondrian painting". Thank you very much. Now I now why I liked those colours together. Monochromes; always a winner!
I was also scared that too many colours in the winter days would be sore for the eye, but I think they actually work really well!!


Got this lovely jumper last year in the sale, love it.


Outfit:
Jumper: Sonia by Sonia Rykiel
Dress: black bodycon, UO
Tights: purple, H&M
Shoes: butternut midnight http://www.etsy.com/


Be good, Santa is watching you. xoxo

Rudi Zygadlo

Right then. The time has come for The Book Of Right-On to shine a light on somebody that is really pushing our buttons right now. His name is Rudi Zygadlo. Aka Rudi-dog. Not only is his style tip top, but he is also currently producing tons of hella good music. He has just been signed by Planet Mu and has been marked as the-next-big-ting by the music (wo)men in the know. Fashion first, music later.

Rudi's style is suspended somewhere between the upper echelons of old Scottish gentry and the lower levels of a well kept skip rat. His classic dapper chapper attire is seamlessly mixed in with a more modern laid back leisure wear; tailor made hats and fancy shoes sit happily alongside sweatpants and hoodies. He has previously credited his Dad as one of his style icons - a large part of his wardrobe has been half-inched (for you overseas - that's cockney rhyming slang for pinched aka stolen) from his old man's closet. Also, as you can see he accessorizes well, a key necklace is a must-have. In fact his fashion sense is not unlike his music. If you want to pigeon hole it, it's some kinda alternative electronic music, but then again, it's also like nothing you've ever heard before. Check out Rudi's Myspaz to hear it. But as I was saying, akin to his style, his music mixes the classical with the cutting-edge. His song Missa Per Brevis (meaning short mass) has a choral-like ephemeral quality to it, but cutting between that is a thumping, club-heavy bassline and some scratching that even a measles sufferer would be proud of. 

He is named after two Russian ballet dancers.
You have to listen to his stuff for yourself.

Here is one of his mixes he did live for Mary Anne Hobbs on her Radio One show, it's at about 1hour 20mins into the show.

Rudi: "Well, here goes, enigma shattered"

Hat: Originally, McLaren Hatters, Glasgow/Edinburgh. From Starry Starry Night, Glasgow
T shirt: John Smedley
Shirt: Daddy's shirt. Tinderfell Originals
Hoody: American Apparel
Leather Jacket: Can't quite read the label. From Watermelon, Glasgow
Belt: Watermelon, Glasgow
Jeans: Levi
Desert Boot: Clarks
Keys: - Timpson's

ONE MORE FOR THE GIRLS

Lean Mean Bean Killing Machine

Im loving Mommy's high waisted mama bum fashion, she rocks them :)
Today's post is a double: day and night.
Daytime outfit is a combination of new and old, my new favorite shirts, new lovely tights, presents from Mommy, vintage butternut squash fantastico boots and vintage skirt and vest.
Nightime outfit is all chic and French! I went to a Fundraising dinner for Glasgow contemporary art venue Studio Warehouse. It was great fun, tables were hosted with artists like Jim Lambie, Martin Boyce, Robert Carlisle, and special guest Pam Hogg for the opening of her exhibition. Pretty wacky. She was pretty low key: mini spandex caplet, spandex leggings and yellow hair. Way cool.
Also cool music artists like Optimo DJ Johnny Wilkes.


Right enough name dropping.
Most important is that I got to wear an amazing mini beret made by my friend William Chambers, the best milliner in the UK, see by yourself.
A mini beret for a mini French girl, how cliche you're gonna say. Well maybe, but it worked wonders, my biggest momment was when this tall model in the toilet (still twice my size even with my high heels) said "Aw you look like...Amelie". Cheers, pal.
Merci Willie!!!


Now you tell me what you think.
