Partimi 2012 collections



Partimi
Spring Summer 2012

One of my favourite sustainable fashion brands.  I love the simple silhouettes,  easy style and captivating prints depicting photographic images from designer, Eleanor Dorrien-Smith's childhood.   I loved both of Partimi's 2012 collections.  Looking forward to 2013.

NORRBACK - maintaining style & integrity


NORRBACK
Autumn Winter 2012

Its at this time of year - when I've often over eaten, over socialised and over dressed, over a number of weeks - that I feel the need to wrap and cocoon myself in gentle layers. To venture on long walks.  To enjoy nature's winter silence.

All images from Norrback's Autumn Winter collection.
Consciousness.  Integrity.  Quality.  Style.  NORRBACK
