BOHEMIANS: LIBERTY IN LACE

ITS ALWAYS SUPER COOL TO SEE WHERE WE END UP. 

 THE DIVINE MODEL, MUSE AND MAMA LIBERTY ROSS ROCKING THE 

ALIX OF BOHEMIA BLACK LACE CAMELIA BLOUSE ON HER VOGUE BLOG:

SHE SHOUTED OUT ABOUT US AT CHRISTMASTIME, AND AS USUAL WE ARE A LITTLE SLOW ON THE UPTAKE (6 MONTHS BEHIND THE TIMES ARE WE AT BEST) CHRISTMAS IN JUNE IT IS; CERTAINLY A MORE TEMPERATE CLIMATE TO GO RUNNING AROUND IN MEXICAN LACE.

MERCI LIBERTY.

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'.



ALIX OF BOHEMIA CAMELIA BLOUSE IN SWISS DOT SILK CHIFFON. GATHERED NECKLINE AND CUFFS, EACH SEAM IS HAND-FINISHED, BECAUSE WE LIKE OLD FASHIONED THINGS.  

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:

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.

MOVING HOUSE

SO WE'VE WORKED OUR LITTLE FINGERS TO THE BONE, BUT ITS OFFICIAL: THERES A HIPPIE IN HARRODS NOW, WE WERE INVITED, WE DIDN'T EVEN CRASH THE PARTY. GO SAY HELLO ON THE 4TH FLOOR AT THE 9LONDON CORNER.

WE'RE ALSO AT THE DIVINE KATRINA PHILLIPS IN NOTTING HILL AND AT LOVELY EMILY EVANS BOUTIQUE IN SLOANE SQUARE. 

THIS WEEK HAS SEEN ALIX OF BOHEMIA BEING STOCKED AT SOME PRETTY HEAVY REAL ESTATE; WE'LL TAKE A TEPEE IN ANY OF THOSE POSTCODES HAPPILY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 

 FOR THIS MOST RECENT WORK, WE EXPLORED WHITE ON WHITE TEXTURE, AND KEPT THE STORY SIMPLE, TURQUOISE, YELLOW WITH A DASH OF CORAL AND FUSCHIA. ITS ALL A RIFF ON THE OLD FAVOURITE CAMELIA, IN ALL HER GATHERED GLORY.
