Bounce

This video, styled by Katie Grand, is making me hark back to being a kid.  Remember that game where an adult would slowly pull their hand down over their face, changing their expression underneath it in a way that seemed magical?  This video is like a fashion version of this, with Dree Hemingway bouncing up in down on Hampstead Heath, wearing a different outfit for every reappearance in the shot.

The shoot was created in 2010 and Dree wears Miu Miu archive and resort, but fittingly it looks like she's wearing SS11 pieces because of all the colour and print involved.



The choral sound and the slowing down of the shots makes the video ethereal but fun, making me think of lazy summer days where one minute you're feeling drowsy, basking in the sun, and the next you're running around a beach or a patch of grass after a quick sugar boost in the form of a Mr. Whippy.

Summer is definitely a'coming.

Do's and Don'ts

Do - Choose one statement piece that you love (like this incredible structured Miu Miu dress) and fashion the rest of your outfit around it.

Don't - Think you can't get away with wearing an outfit like this. This woman is Anna Dello Russo, Editor of Vogue Japan, who is fast approaching 50.  If she can make this look good, so can you.

Do - Wear some funky sunglasses.  Taking a less overworn style like these cat-eye glasses gives the outfit an edge. 

Don't - Go matchy-matchy with accessories.  The watch is cool but with the metallic edged bag, shoes AND belt, the outfit begins to look dated, a little bit posh WAG.  Mix it up a bit colour and style-wise to stop the outfit from becoming passé and a bit...blah.
