The headscarf is back, according to Vogue, according to Hermes. I have never really experimented with a head scarf mostly because I always find like I look like I am bald whenever I try to don one.
Hermes have created an orange boxed set of playing cards, each one featuring a step by step guide to tying some key styles which you get free when you buy a scarf, so maybe I can learn how to look like Lily Donaldson rather than Sinead O'Connor

Return of the headscarf
Collaboration time...
Lets all run to Japan...maybe take your massive shoes off first...why? Here's why...
Louis Vuitton and Rei Kawakubo of Commes Des Garcons are opening a shop together in Tokyo which will last for 3 months from this September in an existing CDG store.
The shop will be selling six LV bags specially designed by Rei K, according to Elle.uk.com the bags will be "‘party’ bags", that "hark back to the styles of 30 years when Vuitton made only bags and leather goods", collector's pieces in the making if ever we saw one.
It may seem like an odd pairing, CDG being a ground breaking designer brand and LV being slightly more traditional but I will hold judgement until I see them...thats very safe of me.
Back and in love again
Coo-eee...
Holidays never last for long enough huh!? It was amazing but no one wants to hear about other people's travels so instead lets take a look at the hottest sunglasses around, they come from the sexiest designer around Tom Ford and they look a bit like this...
What the picture neglects to show is a gold rim over the bridge of the nose, you can see the etching on the lens and the gold T on the side, I think they might just be perfect...Ray who??

We Are Sailing....
I bought the A.P.C sailor top at the weekend as Maison Bertaux were having a 30% off day and we were early for a film at the Curzon (is that a rubbish excuse). I have it in time for my holiday tomorrow and I'm so excited.
Next question is, how to wear it? I know the above picture shows it with white shorts, however, I think black skinnies and massive heels might be more suitable, any thoughts?

Its not very fashion, hey ho
I know this blog is mostly about fashion and music, but on occasions I find something in London that I want to shout about, so I hope you don't mind me gassing on about Wahaca, its brill.
One of the best discoveries I made this weekend was Wahaca, Covent Garden's best Mexican restaurant. My friends and I often complain that London does not have a decent Mexican restaurant...well now I have found one, woop. Not discounting Mexi Cali on Wardour Street, who make a mean burrito, I enjoy many a carb coma afternoon after one of those bad boys. Well, Wahaca is a restaurant rather than a take out place so different.
I first heard about this Mexican restaurant while reading the GQ restaurant guide (yes, I tick them off as I go, what a loser), the restaurant has also won the Observer's cheap eats award- oh I didn't mention how reasonably priced it is - £26 for lunch for the two of us and we ate lots - as we were nursing hangovers there wasn't any alcohol involved.
Wahaca provides a great service, when queuing you are told exactly how long it will take to get a table and if you want to wander off for a quick drink while you wait they will give you a call when your table is ready. The food? You can either choose from the Street Food menu, Salads and Soups or Bigger Plates menus or mix them all up. We had six Street Food plates (that's what they recommend, we weren't being fatties). Some quesidillas, tostados, tacos and taquitos all washed down with their special Mexican Flower Water drink, which tastes a bit like a flowery cranberry juice.
My favourite dish? Well its a choice of three I'm afraid
Black bean & cheese quesidilla
Chargrilled rump steak taco
Nopalitos - mexican cactus (!)
All the food is sourced in the UK and free range, what more do you want?
