Black Silk blend with a lace overlay Lace trapeze dress by Marchesa at Net-a-Porter.com
£630.00
I’m a sucker for 3/4 length sleeve and dresses that nip in at the waist. I’m also not big on saving a dress for a special occasion – what if nothing every happens? I’d have this perfectly wonderful dress and might never get a chance to wear it. I think that if I wear the dress, that the day itself will be an occasion, maybe something special will happen – or I should simply enjoy life as it is! I don’t assume that one should live life there is no tomorrow and really I’m not sure how I would live if I knew there was no tomorrow – actually I might not care what I’m wearing… Anyway I’m not a pessimist by nature, perhaps it’s my optimism that suggests live life now, dress up!

I have always loved hats – so living in London is the right place to explore this love. Canada is a place more suitable for a functional “I don’t want any more frostbite” kind of hat. I tend to like hats that are small and understated. I don’t want to be the annoying kind of person that if you’re sitting behind me at a movie or show you can’t see a thing.
This is a hat by Victoria Grant, she’s really lovely! A while back I was doing a shoot in a studio complex and realized that Victoria had her studio there so I couldn’t resist popping in and saying hello! She’s made hats for Top Shop, Julia Clancey, Cacharel, Michiko Koshino and Jean-Pierre Braganza!

First you need a great place to go for tea and cupcakes. So on a grey and ever so slightly snowy day I would recommend The Hummingbird Bakery in Notting Hill, 133 Portobello Road. If you’re not able to find that perfect vintage dress in dusty pink here are a few suggestions.
Lipsy, Pleated Silk Bib Dress, £55
Arrogant Cat, Flower Leaves Dress, £148
Asos, Premium Vintage Lace Dress £40.00

Like many Canadians who grew up in English Canada I am fascinated with Montreal. The rule is Torontonians live to work and Montrealers work to live and on some level I find this to be true. Personally, I want to work to live! I love Montreal and although it’s a much much smaller city than London, Montreal style is just as eclectic! It might be -9°C and flurries but Montreal fashionistas will still be looking fabulous!
The mission of Montréal Fashion Week is to promote Québec designers to the fashion industry, buyers and journalists. This is the 14th edition of Montréal’s biannual fashion week, presenting designers’ autumn/winter 2008 men, women and children’s collections on the catwalk and in showrooms. It’s organised by the Montréal Fashion Network, in collaboration with P&G Beauté.

I’m not the kind of girl who wears a white shirt, but I’d like to. I do love the look of a crisp white shirt with a great black pencil skirt or even jeans but that all seems a little too predictable. If you’re wearing black and white you need to have a bit of an edge or you’ll look like a waiter – of course there is nothing wrong with looking like a waiter… There is no one who knows better than Daphne Guinness on how to wear black and white. She’s one of my favourite style icons!
