On a recent visit to a Town nearby, whilst I was browsing an ‘antique-style’ stall (style as it was old ‘n’ new, odds and ends etc) I came across an arresting image entitled ‘Fashion Repeats Itself’ from a sheet of The Illustrated London News dating from 1872, and I knew I just had to buy Read More
So I was very excited last week to see an up and coming wedding fair at my town’s largest hotel. It’s rather a ‘swish joint’ so I was looking forward to attending the ‘soiree’. Plus it was free entry so what was there to lose? I certainly needed a new Bridal fix in what would Read More
The newspaper headlines were bold & boasting ‘Basildon Boomtown’, the town was on up in the polls now, as the “9th best place to live & work in the Uk” according to the local newspaper and if that’s not enough ‘big business’ is coming to town and that meant big news for Basildon. These were the news Read More
So it’s a ‘frilling’ start to the New Year and a real ‘cheer me up’ for the end of January, why? Well one of the key trends of S/S 16 is frills – a fashion prediction I made back in June 2015 with ‘My Hands Are Golden’ post see here https://philippanestie.com/my-hands-are-golden/ Yes I wondered as I Read More
Yep, this is how I feel after over a year’s non-stop blogging…I feel like I’m all ‘blogged out’ at the moment & I need some serious rest and rejuvenation…for which the New Year is an ideal time to take stock/make a ‘pitstop’ reflect, edit, & possibly delete?? Make fresh plans, it’s ‘out with the old and in with the Read More
So it looks like it will be ‘Say No! To The Dress’ from now on…recently I was wondering what was happening with ’Friday Brideday’ on TLC channel? There were no ‘new’ episodes coming up, so I did a search online & checked the TLC website. I managed to find their Bridal page but there was Read More
As a great fan of the mannequin, nothing has disturbed me more than the rise of the mannequin without a face…these ‘robots’ that have arrived on mass in the high street over the past decade have given me the ‘he bee, gee bees’…every high street shop has them so there is no escape..& earlier this year Read More
Following on from my last post, I present here my favourite aspect of the LV series’s 3 exhibition the mannequins! Which I had fun ‘mirrorising’ in my appropriately named mirror app..:-) it was something I couldn’t resist really… they were the ‘perfect’ subject…The room in which they were displayed itself was ‘blinding’ oh yes pure Read More
Never hearing before of a Louis Vuitton exhibition the announcement of an exhibit detailing the making of a collection peaked my interest. I was curious of its content & how Louis Vuitton represented itself, plus it was free entry so what was not to like? Online booking & a timed entry I arrived excitedly with my Read More
So I’ve just been on another sojourn this time on the Isle of Man & what a fine time I had there too! The weather was excellent it only rained once! (maybe a record for a UK holiday…??) & I didn’t need one of those trusty rain hoods (as depicted in my Gucci up post https://philippanestie.com/gucci-up-2/) Read More
On a mission to do a friend a favour I was pleasantly surprised by Chanel’s mannequin display whilst in Selfridge’s London. I was there to make a quick visit & pick up a ‘ click & collect’ order, but well got distracted on the way… I’ve not been there for years & years (& to Read More
In trying to ‘keep up with the Jones’ as it were in this fashion blogging arena I decided that I needed to create an ‘icon’ to represent ‘My Fashion Eye’, I was inspired by an image I ‘spied’ in one of my vintage magazines….’Titbits’.. from 1967 & yes this is the right name (& the Read More
So I’ve returned from my sojourn…& I must say I’m glad to be back… enjoyable as it was there’s only so much of bumpy beds & ‘guest house’ style surroundings that I could take without doing serious ‘damage’ to my health either mental or physical…So it was time for a ‘sharp exit’ ‘stage left’ if Read More
Yes I’m off on a short holiday, a ‘vacation’, ‘en vacances’….but I’m off for a whole week….I’ll be staying in the UK so I’ll have to brace myself for ‘any weather’, the temperature is cooling at present, so I’ll have to make sure my wardrobe is ‘weather appropriate’, it could be sun, it could be Read More
So its ‘Vive La France’ as Marianne ‘jumps onto Eurostar’ to join the French in their national holiday Bastille Day. Many celebrations are afoot & Ms Marianne does not want to miss out! So I booked her a ticket & well she was off! Her fashion look is ‘decidedly French‘ first choosing a beautiful floppy Read More
So feeling rather glum I decided to try & make myself feel better by getting ‘appy’ with it, & using as my inspiration TLC’s continuing ‘Friday brideday’ theme. This would of course include my two ‘fashion queens’ Stephanie & Marianne, so now all I had to do was turn these 2 models into brides, but the Read More
