So it’s back to the 80’s with Marianne & of course she’s bang on trend (yet again..) according to Hello Fashion Magazine’s recent report. Oh yes! Top designers are taking keynotes from this decade & reinventing (or maybe rehashing them might be more accurate..) to include in their new collections. From clashing colours to baggy jumpers, Read More
Due to enforced bed rest with my continuing flu, I thought back to my childhood in the days when any respectable lady or indeed child (as I was) wore a bed jacket. Yes! A jacket especially for bed! To not have one, was to be totally underdressed…! So I started a search in eBay to Read More
So down at the Charity shop today – I sure was in for a big surprise! It certainly looked like Halloween had arrived in style according to Stephanie’s attire, even the door creaked slowly open, as I entered with dozen’s of cobweb’s landing on my head…& I was transported into this ‘midnight like’ but during 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
On the second ‘leg’ of my journey (don’t think there will be a third..) around the Island I present here my findings in the form of ‘sketches’ via my ‘very latest’ app, I mean why ‘bother drawing’ them when I can app ‘snap’ them into a sketch form with just a click? (or am I 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
It was with great interest I read that the ‘High Gloss’ look from the late 1970’s disco era is about to make a resurgence. An article I read in ES magazine reported that fashion designer Marc Jacobs would be hosting a party to celebrate the launch of a book appropriately called ‘Gloss‘ by photographer Chris 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 my favourite style this season is what I would describe as the ‘Gucci look’, I was very impressed earlier this year with the new fashion director’s collection for S/S 15 so I‘d thought I’d better check in on what the latest was at the house of Gucci! I immediately headed to style.com & found Read More
I spotted the Kylie Minogue jean patches in a rather dusty basket of oddments they certainly took me back to the 1980’s so I snapped them up immediately & at 3 for £1 I wasn’t going to pass this offer up! Of course I’m not going to ‘wear’ them I mean Philippa in denim is Read More
A recent visit to the charity shop has revealed a possible new trend..so what do I spy with my ‘fashion eye’? Well Stephanie resplendent in a straw hat ‘suitably distressed’, yes the look is what I would describe as quite definitely ‘Hill Billy’. This is not a look that crops up in fashion very often Read More
On my many trips to the various charity shops I invariably came across a very useful item, namely packets of unopened tights, the ex-owners loss is my gain in this ‘game if tights’…they can come from different decades styles & colours but in this I am certainly a winner with them costing on average just Read More
So its all a ‘bloom’ on my local High St, with the ‘flowers of summer’ bursting forth from all directions on all manner of garments, yes floral is it seems ‘de rigueur’ in my locality (& yours too – this is the High St after all). Now we’re in the ‘height of summer’ this is no Read More
