PURPLE REIGN









































FEELING QUITE WISTFUL IN OUR LITTLE ALIX OF BOHEMIA CHIFFON CAMELIA BLOUSE. WE THREW ON ALL OUR BANGLES AND MADE A LITTLE HOME IN FRONT OF THE PURPLE WALL. ALSO IN THE MIX: A VINTAGE WAISTCOAT (GIFTED FROM KATRINA), TARRA'S SKULL NECKLACE, A FEW SCARVES AND SOME FAITHFUL BOOTS (BELSTAFF IS OUR BEST FRIEND OF THE BOOT WORLD).
SOUNDTRACK TO THE MOMENT: SIMON AND GARFUNKUL'S 'FEELIN' GROOVY'.

THEO WHEN THE SUN SHINES


THIS JACKET IS LIKE THE VILLAGE BICYCLE WE KEEP PASSING BETWEEN US. BUT ITS GOOD TO TAKE THE OLD ALIX OF BOHEMIA THEODORA SMOKING JACKET OUT FOR A BIT OF AIR AND MARKETING. SHE'LL BE CLOSET BOUND SOON ENOUGH IF THE SUN INSISTS ON SHINING LIKE THIS.  GLAMOURINA LIVVY'S WHACKED ON SOME GIANT FUR AND BOOTED UP FOR SOME PAELLA STANDING UP, BECAUSE SHE IS FANCY LIKE THAT.

BOHEMIANS: S IN TULUM

WE HAVE SEEN HER BEFORE AS A BLUSHING BRIDE, AND NOW SUSI EMERGES FROM THE MEXICAN NIGHT, ONCE MORE A VISION IN WHITE. MADE FROM TEXTURED COTTON VOILE, THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA COCO FRIDA DRESS  TAKES HER NAME FROM THE MOST OBVIOUS SOURCES (THE KAHLO AND MADAME CC HERSELF) WITH HER MEXICAN LACE YOLK, KICKING RUFFLE AND SWEET SLITTED SLEEVES.

FOR HOLIDAY MAKERS ONLY; SHE'S ONE OF A KIND, JUST LIKE SUSANNA, WHO WEARS HER CUSTOM WITH AN ALIX OF BOHEMIA BUNNY BELT.
WE LOVE TULUM, AND S WEARING OUR DRESS. CAN YOU SEE THE TINY BUTTONS ON THE NECK?
THIS IS CUSTOM STUFF, BUT IF YOU'RE IN LOVE WE CAN WORK YOU OVER SOMETHING SIMILAR. SAY HOLA.

WE LIVE HERE TOO AND WE LIKE IT: KATRINA PHILLIPS

ITS BEEN CALLED 'THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHOP IN LONDON' AND ITS PRETTY EASY TO SEE WHY. WITH HER INCREDIBLE EYE FOR HUMBLE ANTIQUES AND SUBLIME OBJETS, BOTH NATURAL AND MADE, KATRINA'S SHOP IS AS ORGANIC AND ECLECTIC  AS THE CRYSTALS AND CANDLES WHICH SHE STOCKS. AND SO WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE ALIX OF BOHEMIA STOCKED HERE; NAMELY 
THE CAMELIA BLOUSE. 

A PEEK INSIDE MS. PHILLIPS WORLD:
ABOVE, THE MOST FABULOUS FLOOR, LAID BY KATRINA'S DAD IN THE 1960'S.
GIANT CLAMSHELL FOSSILS, MARBLE TRAYS AND BUDDHA, BELOW
GEORGIAN SOFAS, SHELL GARLANDS, A STATUE AND PAINTINGS BY PHILLIPE BONNET:
THE MOST DIVINE NUBIAN WHO ONCE HELD UP A LIGHT ON THE RIVER SEINE IN THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF 1855 IN PARIS:
THE  ALIX OF BOHEMIA CAMELIA BLOUSES HANG FROM A FANTASTICAL MIRROR:


KATRINA SAYS "THIS IS NOT A NORMAL SHOP YOU KNOW",
INDEED, ITS MUCH MUCH BETTER (AND SMELLS DELICIOUS).
COME AND SEE US AT 99 PORTOBELLO RD. KATRINA WILL AMUSE AND DELIGHT YOU; WE'VE DECIDED WE WOULD LIKE TO GET MARRIED TO HER IF IT MEANS WE CAN STAY.
