Alexa Chung does winter sequins

November 14, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

If there’s something I really love in the winter month’s it’s a brilliant sequin skirt. As daywear, obviously… I’ve been flying the flag for this look for a few years now, and Alexa Chung has taken it onboard beautifully, pounding the New York pavements (sorry, sidewalks) in heels, a pencil sequin skirt with stripe detail …

I want winter candy

November 13, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

This is the second time I’ve wibbled on about pale pink coats this week (thanks Louise Made in Chelsea Thompson) but if I hadn’t just overloaded the coat hook to the point that it fell off the wall (wooops) I would so be buying the lush candy floss boyfriend coat from Topshop. In general, I’m …

Bright winter colours (and Rocket Dog boots)

October 10, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

It’s chilly out kids! (Sunny, but ‘taters.) And I thought I’d mark what feels like the first day of autumn proper with some typically eye-searing fashion… I don’t really do “subtle” when it comes to clothes (as well you know) and I popped this outfit together this a.m. to (hopefully) encourage you to be a …

Geo Aztec print – big in the ‘Pool

September 16, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

This one’s dedicated to my lovely friends in Liverpool: the ladies are BIG into Aztec and geo prints right now. Never mind the weather. Go bright (with white) and tight – if you choose the right colour combinations (maybe a little bit less neon than in Liverpool) these prints can easily be styled for autumn …

Coats and jumpers

September 13, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Earlier this week I saw a lady with vintage leanings on the train wearing a wonderful lime green embossed jacket. I’m not sure my hair could take it (I’m after a pink or sky blue version), but this similar version by Topshop is just so damn appealing. One thing I have already succumbed to from …

Many shades of autumn

September 9, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Ah, come on people. So it’s a bit autumnal today. The weather has been a drag all day and it’s dark at 8pm….but my spirits were dampened by the sight of so much black and grey on the train to work this morning (one fella in dark grey trousers literally had his bum in my …

Nine West shirt dress at TK Maxx

August 26, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

I made my first autumnal purchase today: this Nine West shirt dress with a striking print, £29.99 at TK Maxx. It’s so vintage-esque. My freelance contract at the newspaper has been extended until the end of November, so I figure I might need a few office-friendly dresses for the forthcoming season. But I’m tempted to …

Winter florals by Ted Baker

August 14, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton 4 Comments

Appaz, this is one of Ted Baker’s best-selling items of the week…are you surprised? Gorgeous innit. I think I’m becoming slightly obsessed with this moody floral trend, but with some fierce military-style boots and a leather jacket, this dress would just kill the rock chic look. If you’re into it, Ted’s “oil painting” dress for …

Beulah London “moody” floral dress

August 8, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

I’m going through a very strong (true) vintage phase at the moment (it comes over me in waves), but my eyes nearly popped out of my head yesterday when I was sent a pic of this amazing dress by Beulah London. I’m a fan of this label anyway, but this vintage-seeped “moody floral” dress is …
