Big chief chic chiffonier

Summer is no longer the holiday season. Package holidays in Benidorm are the white elephant of society....it's all about the festivals. You can't plan an available weekend what with the festival schedule jam packed full of talent, and the odd wedding thrown in the mix too.

Chic Chiffonier had a rather indulgent Glastonbury encounter, Isle of Wight was amaze, and roll on the Big Chill this weekend!

CC over the years has learned to classify and define a outrageously fun time by losing something, so it was with a little dismay, but with full knowledge of a bloody good time, did CC wake up on the bus back from Glastonbury with one foot looking more obscure than t'other. It would appear one foot seemed to have a shoe MIA.

Dilemma! What's a girl to do about festival appropriate footwear? CAT has a clue. Famed for industrial mechanics, their on-trend boots speak to me in a way like no other.

Disco Inferno

Chic Chiffonier has been contemplating the mutual appreciation of art and fashion. You can't turn a page in a magazine without recognising the influence of one creative industry on another.

It has long been CC's intention to seek a range influenced by one of the most contemporary and socially-aware artists, Andy Warhol. Can you imagine the conceptual designs? Warhol circa Studio 54 has been a defining moment for our times, and in that, the decadence of that era should be recognised.

Along comes Halston Heritage, which has finally arrived at my-wardrobe.com. OMG, be still my heart. Luxe jersey dresses are a-go-go. Perfect for slinking around town. Tiered pleats, plunging necklines and jumpsuits to-die-for what's not to love. If further credentials are necessary, step forward Sarah Jessica Parker. She's the Halston Heritage president and chief creative officer dontcha know.

Justifying her paycheck on SATC 2, the Iris Pleated Dress looks pretty killer on screen.



If everyone's famous for 15 minutes, can we use up ours to bag enough cash for the whole collection?

Managed to secure a couple of minutes for someone to read this....are ther 13 minutes going spare?

Brighton Belles

Chic Chiffonier went off for a little jaunt to Brighton at the weekend. Oh we do love to be beside the seaside, oh we do love to be beside the sea..... or not.

We arrived at the station to be greeted by a rather overcast skyline and dreary ether. Bonne mini-vacance ladies and gentleman! I have it on very good authority from our charming cabbie that the previous weekends were absolutely glorious, and we had brought the poor weather along with us like an uneccessary accessory. Au revoir tentative splashes sur la plage.

Luckliy there's a diversion which can be enjoyed whatever the weather....shopping! I must confess I've fallen out of love with vintage, but the shops in Brighton have such a lovely selection, it was rude not to. After a whistlestop tour of all retail stores, I came away a happy girl. Lace blazer. Check. Retro dress. Check. Stripes. Check. Western-inspired boots. Check. AMAZE!!!!!!!!!!!



Art Company

I was pretty retailed out, so we stopped for an espressotini and natter. All aglow with the frivolity and gay abandon of purchases, we raised a glass, and with the decorum of a navvy, knocked back the glass and said hallelujah. A couple of Espressotini's later all I remember was being back in our accomodation singing along to Madonna's Material Girl as the sun began to pipe up.

Oh dear. Silly cocktails one, Chic Chiffonier's dignity, nil points.

At least the sun finally came out to jam!
