Anyone else obsessed with Christine Keeler? and re

Anyone else obsessed with Christine Keeler? and really never really grew out of playing dress up.. aka escapism? .
I’m revisiting my wardrobe as part of my slow fashion drive.. and frankly I’m having a ball... step into my world! 🥰. .
Currently bewitched by the Christine Keeler drama .. the story has captured my imagination.. what a beauty 😍I love her ladylike but sassy sexy style.. thought I’d have a look through my wardrobe and see if I could recreate a hint of that 60’s look.. I wouldn’t wear pointy stilettos and I would need to keep warm, so thick tights, a thermal long sleeve T and some comfy boots needed..
I Love this structured rose gold metallic bag I picked up at the vintage emporium in Brick Lane, perfect for the laptop. .
. I dug our my old black shift dress which I had long since disregarded and not worn for literally years and had a play with a bit of nostalgic artistic license.. ie always wanted to wear a silk scarf on my head! I love the contrast of the masculine style sheepskin coat she wore to court over her feminine shift, so pulled out something I had similar... not sure I don’t look a bit like the ‘Queen’ tho 😂 #diaryofastylist #livedinluxe #slowfashionstyle .

It’s London Fashion Week Men’s this weekend and I’m remembering my first fashion shoot with @london_college_of_style...It was menswear and it was a little out of my comfort zone to start with but as I started to formulate a story I became really quite engaged with menswear, it has potential to push the boundaries of ‘the expected’ even more than women’s fashion.. it’s something I want to explore more in my styling going forward..

This look was part of a story I called Smooth Criminal.. he’s definitely a smoothie right ? .

CONSCIOUS FASHION .. after recently completing a

CONSCIOUS FASHION .. after recently completing a sustainable fashion shoot with @london_college_of_style it made me really question my fashion buying habits and how I’d become completely ‘unconscious’ in my fashion purchase choices.
In short, I’ve got swept along in a wave of blind fast fashion and I don’t feel good about it!
.
I know I’m a bit late to this party but it’s a tough call deciding how, what and where to buy sustainably and ethically, as by ticking one box you invariably don’t another. Take fur for example, I, like most people I know, believe saying no to fur is the right choice, but what about vintage or hand me down fur ? I have a little of this in my wardrobe, but this idea spilts opinion. Likewise if we decide on faux fur we must consider the price of the manufacturing process adding to the global warming crisis..so it’s tricky..
.
It’s unrealistic for me to say I’m going to be totally virtuous in my shopping, I’m as much as a sucker for beautiful things as the next person, but I do believe that I should at the very least be trying to make considered choices.So I’ve decided going forward, I shall be... buying less and thinking more carefully about the purchases I do make rather than blindly whipping out the credit card.
.
I’m posting my thoughts on Instagram to make me more accountable on the promises I’ve made to myself..So here goes, I resolve to:

1.Make items already in my wardrobe work harder,
2.Shop more vintage, secondhand
3.Seek out more small makers
4.Think more long term investment or statement pieces.
5.When buying new, choosing well in terms of sustainable fabric, conscious and ethical retailers.
So here’s my first attempt at pulling together some conscious apres skiwear for my upcoming ski holiday.
Jumper - @h.mconscious range
Trousers - @h.mconscious range
Boots - @sorelfootwear (Est.1962 premium crafted outdoor boots) - investment purchase
T Shirt - in my wardrobe

Leopard print..how much is too much? Can you have

Leopard print..how much is too much? Can you have too much ? No longer the print of tarts with hearts (think Bette Lynch)I consider leopard print as a neutral as well as a highlighter. It both grounds and adds sass to outfits and interiors so on that basis I reckon it’s sky’s the limit! What’s your thoughts tacky or tasteful?#diaryofastylist #tackyortasteful #sassypants .
