Closet Clean-outs and Seasonless Style

Into all of our lives a little clutter must fall, more often than not it tends to reside in our wardrobes. This January, tune into The Afternoon Show on RTE1 where I'll be detoxing the country's closets each Tuesday from 4 pm. I'm a huge fan of purging my unwanted purchases - if only to replace them with new ones! With my new year's ressie to silence my inner trend whore, I recently did a pre-Christmas cull of 'what was I thinking' impulse buys and sold them on eBay. Instead, I'm committing my closet to the mantra of 'seasonless style'. Check out this Isabella Oliver 'Roma' frock I'm wearing. Lovely draping, great length . Slip it on and 'BAM!' - instantly dressed. More to the point, it not-so-secretly gives you insta-boobs! Serious bonus points! Me likey...a lot!

snow stories

A couple of snaps of myself and my dear Ellis.
The two of us, along with Jo, went for a stroll around the local park last week which was punctuated by intervals of sitting on various benches, marveling at the clear sky and hijacking other people's super size snowballs.

On the subject of snow-appropriate dressing, this outfit has been a godsend over the last week. The coat I picked up from my local charity shop, a bit of a preemptive purchase before the snow arrived, it is astonishingly warm and fit for Shackleton.

Back in August, I was standing in a long long line at the cashpoint in Spitalfields, London when a woman ahead of me caught my eye. This fact alone isn't unusual for East London, but this woman in particular had the most incredible hair; a sort of burnt orange colour, very plainly dyed, long and simply parted at the centre. I was instantly in love and proceeded to watch with anticipation as the line grew shorter debating whether or not to ask for a photograph (I didn't know quite how I was going to explain her hair to my own hairdresser with my 'I want to look exactly like her!' style request.) Alas, the queue eventually shrunk and I watched her walk past me as she replaced her card into her wallet without saying anything. These three photographs however are (if my memory, six months later is to be trusted) an pretty accurate representation of said woman's barnet. And now I must enter a new debate, a debate that I am fully aware is intensely boring to any second parties as whether or not to take the plunge and book that hair appointment. Armed with a packet of hair dye last night, I went for a Butterscotch ginger shade, but unsurprisingly not much came of that bar a slightly redder shade to my hair which is lovely albeit barely noticeable.

maya villiger: behind the scenes of turned out

Maya Villiger, ever the modest blogger turns the focus of her lens away from her herself and onto others as a street style photographer. But given her impeccable eye and tendency to wax lyrical about the joys of denim on denim (think in the vein of sturdy Menswear, not Alexander Wang) I've always suspected there was something a bit special about her own style. Luckily for us, Tommy Tom of Jak and Jil has done the groundwork for us and found out by choosing her for his latest 'Favourite Things' feature. The answer is a confident Yes, for Maya of Turnedout.tv has a grown up style as lovely and clean cut as the collages she carefully creates for her blog. In my eyes, she's a bit of a female counterpart to that Male style aesthetic I've talked about in the past; an appreciation for good quality items, well cut and simple. Converse and leather shoes replace desert boots, and a short bob and tweed blazer sustain the essence of that boyish look channelled by Annie Hall and loved by all (including Maya, naturally.)
