Nothing better than jumping into the new season wearing wool with character! This colour pop cuff unisex knit by Sheep of Steel is the cosiest piece of my wardrobe at the moment and I intend to make it my winter ‘Linus Blanket’, from jumper to shoulder and vice versa.

Homemade Feel? Yes, Please!

We have seen designers having Fall ’14 craftwork spirit all toned up from Prada goat-hair pardonable seam details, to Celine’s unfolded sleeves and flared knitted pants to the J. Altuzarra’s gracefully hand-woven dresses. My new entry is a unique slice of fall hand-knitted in the UK. And who better than the Brits? Italians might know their pasta but let’s face it, these peeps know their knits!

We can smell Autumn in the air in London. The weather is still pretty warm, considering, but you can feel that breeze and the days are getting shorter ..Sartorially speaking Autumn is my favourite season. When we can layer on top and still afford to wear bare legs (I will go on this way as long as possible – that’s why I am always the first one hit by the flu! Doh!). And it’s not over! We can finally wear leather again! I am sporting this Maje lamb leather skirt with suede details, paired up with pointy loafers and socks, as Celine teached us. Plus a mesh bomber jacket. I am embracing the new season with my usual monochromatic simplicity and to be honest I am kind of excited ..

Patch denim is assuming my whole outfit scene – See more on my Instagram – one attire at a time. I slipped this pair from the Jacob Cohen show room before London Fashion Week and hardly have taken them off. I know I’ve got to stop now but I would have infinite ways in mind to keep styling them.

NICKY’S DAY

Written by Nicky Inside Out on . Posted in Fashion, Uncategorized. No Comments on NICKY’S DAY

 
Call me a lucky girl. I basically grew up in a hair salon. 
My mother being a hair stylist, her salon is where I used to spend my afternoons after school observing ladies updating their hair style to the latest trend, getting spoiled by everyone being the little girl of the salon and cutting the hair of my infinite barbie collection. All my barbies had short and coloured hair!! Scary!!
Everyone was expecting me to follow my mother into her profession but I grew up more as a fashionista and affectionate to my father’s credit card before getting a proper job eheh ..
 
What stayed towards the years it’s what I then named the Nicky’s Day! It’s that day a month totally dedicated to pumpering myself! 
Every time I visit Italy I lock myself up at my mother’s salon spending my day getting hair cut, hair colour, bit of gossip here and there (hey! I need all the updates since I live abroad now!!), mani pedi and so it goes.. Paradise!!
 
Since I moved to London years ago, it didn’t even crossed my mind to drop good habits. 
 
This week the Nicky’s Day has been looking like paying a visit to Selfridges ground floor, taking a look on what’s new and ending up in make up shopping (credit cards ‘good habits’ haven’t dropped either), visiting the nail salon then of my favourites hairdresser in London ‘Vidal Sasson’.
 
Outcome?! Bank account much lighter ..Urghh! Hair a bit shorter ..Big smile on my face! 
 
Definitely to be tried!!
