Somehow the coming autumn and winter collections are going to be full of army garments and uniform-style especially for the women. Do not know why the striking style is popping up but even young and talented Hannah Marshall is just an example of the upcoming fashion style. Would it be that people are so fed up with the sixties,  seventies loving themes they need something completely different? Not to say this would be a big twist but could be that the regression has some part to play in this drama…

I have always preferred Savannah a little bit more attractive one of the Miller sisters. Not to say that Sienna would not be attractive, on the contrary.

But boy, do they have a nice collection for this summer also. Althought the sisters  say the collection is inspired by the tragic life of Edith Piaf, Victorian repression and some movies (hence the name of the collection ‘Beoynd Mount Macedon’), Derek sees the retro revival as it should be: playful, innocent, spreading the message of love to all who are willing to take it for granted. Like the delicate voice of The Little Sparrow…

Some people refers Patrizia Pepe more like a euro-trash-fashy-trend-setter or a easy-beasy-to-big-masses  than a leading fashion label. We don’t think either way but want to take a more deep look at this “Princess of Florence” -house. Her enourmous collection for this summer has some interesting leaps towards mix of vintage wear and easy outfits. You can easily imagine those clothes to be best suited for the young people on the evening beach walk.

Maybe no need to say more. Just visit the awesome website.

Even though it’s not pretty cold outside you can still be prepared for those cold degrees even in summer. And yes, we mean those  sheep skin boots loved and hated in equal measure and which have been around at large some couple of years now.

Thanks to celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker whom have made a fashion to wear ugg boots no matter what’s the weather outside. You have to admit those boots are comfortable and no wonder the early adopters in states were the surfers in California to keep their feet warm in the evening time. Certainly they are not for every occasion but would you wear them? Tell us what you think and make a comment.

Whooga is a merano sheepskin ugg-boot label which has been in this business for awhile in US and UK.
