RAOUL launch in Brown Thomas

Born in 2002 as a mens shirt brand, accessible luxury that expanded into ladiesware in 2008


 The label has a very 60's air hostess feel, cute as a button.
 It is very Celine esque, it has been said, "if you like Bottega Veneta, you'll love RAOUL"

 Mid market emergence with all the key trends nailed


 The label is relevant for women in their 20's through to


The Terracotta Dress. This is named the Sunday Dress, so called for a time when your best clothes were reserved for Sundays.





The cocoon coat and then The Big Reveal when you take it off.
 The deep V in the front.





Cant beat black and white, classic. Very Kennedys!



 Leather and silk chiffon, this is just stunning! I particularly like the lock detailing on the shoulder.



Novembers Cruise collection preview, we are due to see a lot of pleating, heritage trend, and a real emergence of the couture tee.



 Joy Yaffe from RAOUL and Grazia's Charlie Miller who were charmingly MC'd the night.
 During the show I spotted the most beautiful, understated couple across the runway. They were like a walking advert for The Kooples. I approached them after the event and they were so kind and humble. Sam and Alex, they have a folk band named The Alpacca Jamboree and they sound just lovely in my ears.
Thanks for following you guys. They also blog so click their names and check them out!

Italian market place

After missing my bestie for what seemed like forever she's finally home and she comes baring gifts! She was inter railing and brought me home a beautiful scarf from an Italian market she stumbled across. It's beautiful beyond description and incredibly soft. It's me down to the ground, I absolutely love it.


It's reversible so one side is striped and the other is the block red colour. 


This is the best photo I could take of myself, this late with nobody home to help. Wearing boutique by Topshop cashmere vest in pink underneath.
