Mark and Josephine snuggle up for Zadig & Voltaire

Posted on February 6, 2010 by cheriecity

Mark Ronson just can’t seem to do anything wrong sartorially at the moment. Not only was he voted Britain’s Best Dressed Man in GQ last year, but his particularly daring, dandyish style caught the eye of Zadig & Voltaire founder … Continue reading →

Ellis Faas comes to Liberty!

Posted on January 25, 2010 by cheriecity

I’ve wanted to spread the word about the UK debut of the Ellis Faas collection since before Christmas, but seeing as the launch wouldn’t be until a whole new decade, it seemed kind of mean to have sit and wait. … Continue reading →

Espresso and biscotti with Marc?

Posted on January 16, 2010 by cheriecity

I’ve never been so excited about the opening of a cafe before, but when the barista in question is Marc Jacobs (sadly Marc won’t be pouring the shots himself), then it is more than a little bit special. Adding to … Continue reading →

Daisy Lowe x Swarovski Crystallized

Posted on January 15, 2010 by cheriecity

I must admit, I have a bit of a girl crush on Daisy Lowe. More than being impossibly gorgeous, with those smoky feline eyes and raven locks, she’s very aware of her own sense of style and seems to have … Continue reading →

Posted on November 26, 2009 by cheriecity

Erdem seems to be etched onto my subconscious at the moment and I reckon it’s a sign from fashion gods to go forth and take my love of floral dresses to the next level. I love the fashion warrior look, … Continue reading →
