Burberry

I love Burberry, maybe it's because I was born in grey England or something, but every time I see Burberry, anywhere, I really, really! want to be close to it. And I know I am Far from the only one with these kind of feelings. The old movies and books with the men with their Burberry coats and bowler hats have always been precious to me and that Burberry has retained that "Old Fashioned" style, palette, and class with a grounded-ness to it is wonderful. I always think "Brown", but in a good way. :)

I also love Emma Watson, she has such a nice image, (nice is the most un-committal word, I know), but really, think of Nice in it's real meaning, she really comes across as a Nice person, and she is FABULOUSLY stylish in all the right ways.) Do you agree? Or am I deluded on this.
Anyway, and now Burberry is combining with her for their advertising campaigns for 09 and now this AW09/10 I couldn't be happier.



These photos caught my eye and I just Have to share them... I hope they make you feel happy for Autumn and Winter too...

fashion heat

Friday night, the first of the two iD Dunedin Fashion Shows was freezing cold at the Railway station. This shot I took of one of the AliMcD models "worshiping" one of the four patio heaters we had back stage sort of sums it up.
