Pink Eye

>> I'm not usually one for hiding behind sunglasses.  I find it very sinister to speak to someone without having direct eye contact.  They could be looking over your shoulders, scanning the room trying to find someone better/cooler to speak to without you even knowing.  That's my natural in-built paranoia.

With the last week of September scorching up to 30 degrees in both Milan and Paris, there is nothing to do but to pragmatically shield the eyes.  In addition, a bout of head cold, late nights pounding the keys for Dazed Digital banging out show reports have had the loveliest of comments thrown my way – "Oh you look erm… tired."  That's code for "You look god awful."  Thankfully Karen Walker saves the day with a couple of pink shades to combat actual pink eye.  The bloodshot veins in my eyes have conspired to match the shade of my sunglasses.  How considerate.

It's not all doom though.  We're half way through Paris and we still have so much to come and there's a shit ton of stuff festering.  Outfits and ostentatious surfaces first.  Dissection and analysis later.

P.S. There are a few new duds here that have come from Yoox (aka discount haven…) in case you're wondering whether I've come into loadsa dough.  It's the patience to go through 1,032 search terms that you need to battle through to come up with the goods.

  3. Oh I love those sunnies on you and yeah, totally agree re:needing direct eye contact. I’m the same, find it odd talking to someone with my eyes shield! Love your outfit choices, fave has to be the second one but the wide legs trousers put up a strong fight! XO

  5. I like your style, it’s so fresh and full of colours! ^^ I’m your new reader from Finland!

  7. Screw the sunnies, I think I’m actually in love with that Chloe/Tory Burch outfit – gorgeous! Just think, not long to go and you can come home and have a decent nap – or seven : )

  10. I like your creative way of dressing up. Colours are always plus. There are too many fashionistas who wear just black.
