Okay, well at least the title of this post made you stop and have a look. Sorry there’s no actual heavy petting to brighten up your Friday!
We spotted these animal themed bags in the window of Louis Vuitton’s new Bond Street flagship. It was lovely to see that a brand this luxurious and high end still has time to be a little fun. The beautiful glass cloches added some gravitas and all the animals were really amazingly executed so LV shows us how to have a giggle and yet still retain utter poise and chic!
Enjoy and wishing you a wonderful weekend from the team at “Blink”!

Copenhagen Fashion Week is no longer just called Copenhagen Fashion Week. With tourists and Copenhageners invited to join in by attending ‘The Worlds Greatest Catwalk’ event and other shows embracing a more open and public friendly stance, it is now also known as the Copenhagen Fashion Festival.
On August 14th, Danish underground DJ, Djuna Barnes delivered colorful and upbeat music whilst more than 200 models, celebrities, babies and ballet dancers began the 1.6 km long walk along the hot pink catwalk, creating a new world record! Starting at Rådhuspladsen down Copenhagen’s biggest shopping street ‘Strøget’ and ending in Kgs. Nytorv, this event showcased Danish and Scandinavian SS’11 collections in a really celebratory way. Forever supermodel and great Dane, Helena Christensen was the hostess for this event and several shops in Central Copenhagen donated 1% of the days income to Chernobyl Children’s project International.

So, after the festival frenzy of the past few weeks we now have a week free to feature the great coverage that the lovely Asta has been sending us from Copenhagen.
Its a supremely stylish city at the best of times. Yes, you have probably gathered from previous posts that we have a crush on Copenhagen. When Copenhagen Fashion Week comes around the style quotient increases even above and beyond this city’s usual high standards.
We are starting this week with a few streetstyle shots from around and about CPH Fashion Week. Asta spotted some really lovely looks for us that reflect the feel of Copenhagen style really well. Its about an understated style that is more individual than big name, more eclectic but not so vintage, quite detailed but not overly complex, glowing scrubbed cheeks rather than knee deep in make up. And doesn’t everyone just look so damned healthy!

This post is the grand finale of our Little London Fields tribute week! Are you relieved or disappointed? If you are feeling either then fear not, we have something very different to inspire you next week…
We saved the final post to feature some more fantastic accessories shots. A new approach to jewelery revealed itself at this music and arts event in London Fields. The common theme through all of this weeks post has been to close up approach to finishing touches on the looks we loved the best. Individual style was the guiding principle and we think that these shots express that even more succinctly.
Enjoy, and thanks to Cat for the great subject choices and perfect shots.

And there’s more from Little London Fields! We could have posted it all in one big mega post, but that might just have been too much information and we would hate for you to miss out on any of the finer details captured in these shots.
We hope that you have enjoyed our posts so far this week. We have decided that today and tomorrow will be accessories days. As we noted in the first post on Monday, the details are what make an outfit absolutely your own look. We saw some stunning attention to detail on the fastidiously stylish folk at Little London Fields and today we start at the bottom with a shoe focused post. Its a mixed bag, with the overarching theme being a personal take on what functional style means for each individual and the look they chose to project that day. Don’t underestimate the importance of the sock choice or the pedi colour either. Details are never mere details when it comes to accessories…
Enjoy, and if you’d like to see more accessories, why not contact your nearest “Blink” agent and ask to have a look at our quarterly ‘Accessories’ report?

More joy from the inaugural Little London Fields festival for you. We hope that you enjoyed yesterdays look at some great styling details and today we have a look at proportion.
While the whole of the fashion world has been loved up for the maxi this Summer, the festival crowds have all voted with their pins for something more abbreviated. Shorts and mini’s have been a far stronger look, particularly for the London based events. Its a look that can say so many things. Go retro and boyish with the addition of braces (an accessory to watch and one that we’ll be featuring in the Autumn ‘Accessories’ report!). Add chic but saucy sex appeal with long socks or hold ups. Embrace undies as outies with slip inspired looks. Channel something sharper and a little more 80’s with tailored leather.

On the 7th August, one of London’s hottest style spots got even hotter! London Fields in East London hosted the newest addition to the London based festival roster, the very lovely Little London Fields, a brilliant new, free music and arts festival.
Approaching the site through the throngs of people on Broadway Market, perusing the beautiful vintage and handmade fashion stalls, mouthwatering local food stalls as well as the quirky shops that line the street; there was a tangible buzz in the air. Inside London Fields, Festival goers lounged on the grass enjoying the sounds, sights and cider in the park. The festival was a fabulous showcase of new and up and coming music maestros, performance collectives, artists and designers. Sadly our British weather blighted what was otherwise an idyllic Summer afternoon in the park. Umbrellas came out in the crowds and others ran for cover (under trees, into tents, nearby cafes and pubs). Yet the showers didn’t last too long and in traditional British spirit the festivities carried on into the evening with a plethora of after parties to choose from.
The eclectic and alternative selection of entertainment included some of the best up and coming bands like the Brighton based synth-pop band, Mirrors and Hackney’s very own delicious Black Cherry. The Carhartt sponsored disco tent was the perfect place for booty shaking to top tunes from Cut n Shut Disco. We were very tempted to part with cash in the lovely Arts and Crafts Marquee- especially loving James Brown’s prints.
The debonair folk in attendance certainly stepped out in style, sporting some gorgeously considered and studiously self styled looks. Looking at our shots of the festival goes to show the East is undeniably the life blood of London street fashion. We are starting this week of Little London Fields posts with a close up look at the details that make a look a ‘LOOK’! We have so many posts for you from this event that we are even posting on a Monday, which is very unusual for us, and we’ll have some double bubble two post days to come too. Hold on to your hats, this could be inspiration overload!
Enjoy this post on Little London Fields and click here for more posts on events that “Blink” has found interesting, exciting and inspiring!
Thanks Cat for the genius shots and great reporting!

And the final post from Victoria Park’s Field Day fest features some more subtle colour combinations. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the looks are any more low key that those that we featured in the previous post on ‘Colourful’ looks. In some cases, these looks have a softer edge, but add black into the mix and you have a cool, graphic angle too.
We really love the soft maxi skirts featured here, as well as the lighter, sheerer and fluid shapes. Its a really fresh, feminine look that’s right on the button right now. Throw in an occasional touch of leather and some sporty references and you’ve got it.

So, here’s the second in our posts from Field Day, and this one focuses on some brilliantly colourful looks. Black was probably still the strongest colour choice, and denim was a big look too- especially as cut off shorts, but we think that hot colour, print and pattern have a special place at a festival. Its a time to wear something that you may think is too bright or bold for everyday, but in a festival field we think the brighter the better, baby!

On the 31st July, our brilliant “Blink” reporter, Cat, headed to Victoria Park for Field Day.
Inspired by country pastimes and simpler pleasures, plus a splash of domestic drudgery and adolescent sports days, this fest keeps the delightful spirit of the village fair alive in a very cool corner of Hackney. The Village Green Area included egg and spoon races, human wheelbarrow races, ‘Tug of War’, sack races, a blindfolded tea drinking relay race, scone throwing contest and much more…
But don’t think this was all pastoral pastimes and innocent fun. This is an East London festival after all. Music was a mix of indie rock and dance, the line up including Caribou, These New Puritans, Memory Tapes, Gold Panda, a Simian Mobile Disco DJ set, Fake Blood, Hudson Mohawke and the Archie Bronson Outfit were the highlights in our opinion.
The East London vibe was in full force for the style stakes too. Fashionable Field Day attendees mixed 80’s style; bumbags and bold prints whilst evocative black lace stockings were teamed with thigh grazing dresses and super short denim shorts.
Here’s our first style post for you. We think this group of girls are rocking some super fierce looks and were the best way to start things rolling. We have a couple more posts to come too, so keep ‘em peeled…
