Bearded Boys

I'm enjoying my bus rides to work at the moment as we drive down Kingsland Rd from Dalston to Liverpool Street in London's East. It's the catwalk show that keeps my eyes glued to the pavement and from reading my book. The look that makes my heart melt everytime (and I'm sorry but the photos I've found don't do the boys I've seen justice) is a guy sporting a bushy beard, with potentially even long trimmed healthy locks generally with the standard Shoreditch uniform du jour of denim shirt, rolled up beige/camel/khaki chinos, wayfarers and brogues, loafers or deck shoes.

The above Italian shot by the Sartorialist has it going on. This grey fox appears confident, yet relaxed. Bottega Veneta's runway in the other two pictures shows off a polished version.

Isabel Marant Fall 2010

Model, Freja Beha Erichsen, wears a new direction for Isabel. Gone are the suede cuffed ankle boots everyone has come to love and instead we see another totally wearable collection that isn't ground breaking, but it's edgy and chic. This is a perfect staple outfit in every girls' wardrobe. LOVE the cuffed trousers, burnt orange knit (predictable, but very 'autumn'), this seasons denim, and a great skinny, 3/4 sleeved, square shouldered, fitted leather jacket. Then of course there's the bowed, super cute pumps. All very ooh la la.

Kids. Fingers in the Nose!

How achingly cool are these kids?! Their attitude is expressed directly through their clothing so I can only imagine the tribes that the designers and parents hang out in. The label is French, Fingers in the Nose. Yep, love it. And if I had children, although I wouldn't want them to be so self absorbed (especially from such a young age!), I'd certainly like them to have a bit of confidence which I think these outfits give.

Cutie Pie

The Shay Todd Eyelet Bikini £225 is just too adorable! And I'd think for that price you would want to get use of of it layered over a singlet/boob tube or be cheeky and wear it on it's own with long tube skirt or cut off denim shorts when the sun is shining on these glorious London Summer days.

BOOM!

The Mawi gold dynamite bangle. Enough spike to satisfy a seasonal trend but sparks enough curiosity to become a favourite forever! Monoir likes!

Girl crush

Australian Isabel Lucas, always rocking cool, bohemian chic is here in California after Coachella. I saw her in an equally cute green vintage floral frock during De La Soul's set on day 3. I may have been obvious in my stalking. But she truely is BEAUTIFUL. So it's hard not to stare!
