Etoile Isabel Marant A/W 2013

Anyone else find the emergence of Autumn Winter campaigns and editorials in the middle of high summer a little depressing? Obviously this is nothing new, but maybe this year it feels all the more disarming what with being in the tail-end of a heat wave and all. Leaves you feeling nostalgic for the summer you're right in the thick of.

Nevertheless, there's no denying how great some of the new campaigns are, Proenza Schouler, J.W.Anderson, Rag and Bone and Prada to name just a few favourites. And while Isabel Marant's campaigns tend to follow a tried-and-tested formula, they never fail to win me over, always perfecting that unique breed of classic girlish nonchalance that we all want a piece of and the A/W 2013 Etoile lookbook is no exception.

Loafing Around

If anyone can turn me preppy its Isabel Marant and I have to admit, I kind of love these classic suede loafers.  They look brown in this picture but they're actually black and look perfect with ankle-grazing jeans.

Get them here.

Balmain/ Marant A/W 12

Rousteing is killing it for Balmain and Isabel Marant has just done it again.

Who doesn't want to be an Isabel Marant girl by day and a Balmain fox after dark?

Miss Marant est Nonchalant

 

Too many good Isabel Marant ediotrials around right now... So much love for Marant, in fact so much respect for any designer that inspires such a strong aesthetic and movement in fashion.

Three Cheers!

Have a very exciting collaborative project starting tomorrow...stay tuned, it all starts tomorrow so will post details then.

Shorts

These are the Marant babies I was talking about yesterday!!!

Saw and conquered these on my first sunny day in London after leaving my old job.  I thought they were the best good omen a girl could buy so snapped them up pronto...

Sickly-sweet, Angel-delight pink and perfect in cut, length and just about everything,  these are the antidepressant of shorts-who could miserable wearing a pair of these??  I haven't put them away since I bought them, just keep moving them around my room so I can stare at them adoringly.  When I think about heading to beach next week, I'm basically just thinking about prancing about in these....

In the Gang

I might have made a little, very exciting, splurge the other day which I'll let you into tomorrow.  Let's just say I'm one step close to being in the oh-so-cool Marant gang...

Borrowing an old SLR camera from my dad so I'm going to spend tomorow morning playing around, reading the manual in the hope I can start taking some snaps of my own.  Just arrived home for 2 weeks holiday today and am already holed up by the fire, watching bad TV, eating spaghetti-bliss.
