A House is not A Home

Just a disclaimer before I begin: I do not sit around on the couch all kitted up reading like this, I’d just arrived home and saw the light so jumped into frame. It’s my favourite time of day to photograph, honestly you just can’t replicate the light. I’m reading ‘A House is not A Home’ by Polly Adler.

Anyhow this is another contender for fashion week, probably something I would wear during the day I think for kicking around. I just found out today I got a writing gig for the week covering all the shows- freakin awesome! I can’t reveal too much(yet) but you’ll all be able to read it online which is fab.

I was out at Darn Cheap Fabrics today and in case you don’t know it and are interested the fabrics are a/ fabulous and b/ darn cheap.
I’ve decided that rather than buy a new wardrobe or fuss about what to wear to LMFF, I will just make myself a new ‘Lady M’ wardrobe. I’ve been buying up accessories and have a dove grey, kid leather jacket arriving any day now from the States (god bless you etsy.com) so I think I will be sorted by the time it swings around.

I’ve thought about starting my own little label, after doing jewellery for 7 years I know what I’d be in for and I’m not sure I want to be a slave in my own sweat shop! I know every gal and her Prada bag wants to be a designer but I’m going to keep it in mind.
I will show you my autumn/winter collection I’m going to create just for myself when its complete. It will consist of Lady M staples: circle skirts, silk blouses and cropped jackets. Stay tuned.
