If you're going to be beyond slow on sharing your own news you can expect (and let's face it - hope) to be scooped. And scooped we were, with the L.A Times and Racked L.A both running stories on the Los Angeles Fashion Council's new partnership with The Grove.
Myself and the Stylesmith team are extremely excited for this move, and so excited to have found a home for our Collections. For the full scoop, head over to the LA Times to learn more.

HEATHCLIFF.
So this is probably the most contrived outfit post I have ever posted to this site, but who could resist frolicking in a gown on a windy moor doing my very best Cathy? Not me, that's for sure. And whilst these were Devonshire moors, not Yorkshire moors, the mood seemed appropriate.
The dress I'm wearing is one of my favourite Odylyne numbers - it's literal layers of silk and is quite the dress.
The location is Hound Tor on Dartmoor in Devon. Dartmoor is filled with rock formations like this and each have their own legend associated with them. For Hound Tor, legend has it they are the 1000 year old stony remains of a pack of hunting dogs that were turned to stone by a witches coven along with their master (Bowermans Nose, about a mile away from Hounds Tor - you can read more here)
Dress: Courtesy of Odylyne, Shoes: ASOS.
And just because I clearly appreciate a literary pun, spotted at Hound Tor:

And back to Rome!
I have quite a few outfits saved up from our trip back to Rome/London/Devon that I haven't shared yet, I'm just wary of becoming one of those "outfit of the day" bloggers. But since the only events I have time to go to nowadays are the ones myself and the Stylesmith team are producing, event coverage is slow and all my journalistic integrity (trend reporting and what not) is exercized over at all the MAGIC blogs (here, here and here) - but I've been told by a tiny percentage of the 20K of you apparently still reading regularly (thanks for sticking with it!) that you miss my regular posts, so outfits it is!
Phew, that was long winded.
Anyhoo. This dress is probably one of my favourite vintage finds, it's from a vintage dealer in Paris. Which makes it sound like I'm very well traveled and quite worldly, when in actual fact we have eBay to thank for my worldliness. I'm a sucker for a floral dress, and a sweetheart neckline (hello boobs) and the embroidery and crystal detail just make it touch more special. It was the perfect cotton dress to deal with the sticky Roman days. Paired with my trusty pink chucks of course.
