My Perfect Day in Vienna

Posted on by Katya

We had a nice 2 month holiday earlier this year and it was so difficult to choose where to go! We drove around for 2 months, spending most of our time in London, Wales and Southeast England but we also flew to Barcelona for a long week of shopping, walking and learning about Spanish culture. We had endured a long debate on whether to go to Vienna or Barcelona, involving the whole family, so long in fact that we eventually just flipped a coin. Since we will be returning to mainland Europe soon enough, I thought with the dreary weather…

Plaid has gotten a bad reputation in some places. For example, in the US, many people associate it with farmers, rednecks and “girl next door” types but I wear it, and so do tons of other people who don’t let stigmas over a fabric pattern determine their style! Here are a few people from the group who appreciate a good plaid!

Photos of the day: Preppy Chic

Posted on by Katya

When I was in high school it was never cool to be preppy, but “preppy” has taken on a whole new meaning over the years and become a really diverse and even retroesque style in itself. From button down chiffon to knitted grandpa cardigans, a whole new era of style, previously shunned by the hip, can now belong to us all.

Photos of the day: London Fashion Week

Posted on by Katya

As always, London Fashion week was unabashedly british in both style and feel, many designers really pulling together some “Piccadilly Circus” style outfits, in the most literal meaning of the word “circus” (designers, Danielle Scutt, A Child of the Jago and Meadham Kirchhoff). Other designers really leaned towards androgyny, designing “Things that can be borrowed from a man to a woman and from a woman to a man.” as quoted by Irish designer, J.W. Anderson. To watch more, visit rightster.com I can’t admit that I would wear all of the things some designers consider unisex but it’s an interesting style movement…
