Once upon a fashion story

Written by Dana Karlson

This all started about a decade ago (insert awkward teenager in questionable outfit here), but I’ll skip the slow-ish chapters at the start, and head right to the heart of the plot: I’m a 24-year-old girl, with a limitless interest in fashion and the ability to turn a phrase—or two. At the moment, I’m loving London, and runways in Autumn, and this one-shouldered Balmain mini that I need to own (but that’s for another time and another post, I suppose). I am no expert, just writing through a self-indulgent interest in style.

Whenever possible I will LynkU to a one-stop online shopping Mecca, so you can browse everything you want to buy, from Matches to Miss Selfridge.

I will make an effort (and what a feat this will be) to keep posts brief and focused, but I like to write, so who knows where this could lead? However, if I’m rambling on about the importance of a strong silhouette once again, feel free to chime in. Feedback is much appreciated.

And so we begin the Blogging chapter.

Thank you, Christophe Decarnin for this piece of Autumn loveliness.  One-shouldered, hiked hemline and stunning buckled boot = perfection. Shop the footwear and some more beautiful Balmain here.
