Style Salvage's Tony Hart Moment

Steve has tried and failed (countless times) at picking up a pencil and producing something that it is worthy of your viewing pleasure. EJ has sketched something special but is nervous about posting - it will follow one day soon. Step forward Susie Bubble who has actually been pestering us to post her effort.

Here comes Style Salvage's Tony Hart moment...Readers have had more luck than us with a pencil and have put me to shame, we thank you all for taking part and apologise for the delay in posting your efforts. Even though Steve couldn't produce anything worthy of showcasing on the blog, his infantile sketching efforts certainly made him think about outfits in a more intense light. As he stared at the outfits of choice he analysed them deeply, taking in the cut, the use of colour, uncovering often over looked detailing...in short, even though the act of sketching was a failure the task was certainly worthwhile.

Did you pick up a pencil? If you did, please let us know!

Treat Your Nails

I never used to be all that into nail polish, but these last few months I have been buying different coloured nail polishes like a mad person. I just can't seem to get enough of it and I love painting my nails in every colour from light pink to black to bright red. Even though all the fashion magazines say that since it's fall and winter now, you should keep your nail polish in darker shades like plum, burgundy and black, I just can't help but rebelling against these fashion rules. So, at this very moment I am typing this with my nails covered in bubblegum pink. Hmmm, I wonder what colour I shall put on tomorrow..? Silver? Blue? Or maybe purple?

What's your relationship to nail polish? And what's your favourite colour to splash onto your nails?

The Chesterton is an everyday bag with a large compartment for carrying many items and an internal pocket for portable electronics. This $220 bag is styled with a polygon shape that looks like a pyramid that was cut in a half.

Valentino Garavani: The Last (Fashion) Emperor

Valentino's fahion house is among the world's most famous haute couture and ready-to-wear fashion empires. For almost 45 years, he created some of the most sophisticated dresses to be seen and worn in the glamorous world of fashion.
