It's unusual for me to be drawn to muddy or sludgy colours but I saw this illustration by
Alexander Wells in the FT last weekend; it's a fabulous illustration that worked especially well with the pink newsprint paper. I kept the illustration on my desk and it's influenced my colour choices this week.
On Wednesday, while taking a break from giving a seminar on Colour at
The Fashion Retail Academy, I popped into
Paperchase as I love stationary...dissaster! I ended up buying these beautiful little boxes of stationery from
East Of India all in natural taupe shades. I'll never use them - they're too beautiful!
I finished the week being fascinated by this great menwear fashion spread, styled and photographed by Damian Foxe in
How To Spend It. I love this magazine, it's so far from everyday reality, it's style on another level.
