For Fashions of The Times, 1966 (pen and collage on paper)
ANTONIO LOPEZ
London's Fashion Illustration Gallery has a selection of Puerto Rican fashion illustrator Antonia Lopez's work for sale, from the 60s to the 80s.
The artist was born in Puerto Rico in 1943 before moving with his family to NYC's Spanish Harlem in 1950, where he started drawing from a young age. He worked his way up through all the big fashion magazines, starting at Womens Wear Daily and The New York Times before freelancing for British Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, French ELLE and Andy Warhol's Interview magazine. His work makes me wish I could draw.
GIRL RACER
British designer Zoe Jordan presented a racing-inspired collection for Autumn/ Winter 2014, shown at London Fashion Week a couple of weeks ago, complete with tyre prints, visors, sponsor lettering and cracked silver leather.
The daughter of F1's Eddie Jordan used to design under Irwin & Jordan with Georgia Irwin - I bought a dress of theirs a while back - before going solo in 2011 and this season she's paid homage to her motoring upbringing with a collection focusing on clean lines, boyish tailoring, futuristic finishes and a simple androgynous palette, which fits in well with the grown up sports luxe focus of late.
almost as cool as Heron Preston's Nascar top

TOP OF THE CROPS
British fashion retailer Boden has been focusing on statement trousers for a while, offering slim tailored pants in bold colours, brocade patterns and these best-selling, ankle-skimming polka dot Bistro Crop Trousers for Spring/ Summer 2014. They're perfect for day-to-night dressing - just pair with a chic cashmere sweater or effortless chambray shirt and ballet flats, then add some patent heels and sparkling jewellery for the evening.
They come in a bunch of different colours and prints (and in petite, regular and long sizes) but I'm rather taken with these in bright sunny yellow...

WHITE AND CREAM INTERIORS
Cream and white in interiors is what black is to fashion: the perfect starting point and basic palette from which to build when decorating. After returning from Paris a couple of weeks ago, I've found a new apartment and we're hopefully moving this week. Cue a whole lotta pinning interior design on Pinterest...
I don't know if it's the constant rain and dark grey skies in London, but I'm dreaming of a fresh, bright white and cream living space with plenty of plants, tactile fabrics and my dozens of prints on the walls to add character to an otherwise clean, blank canvas. Something like this.
