I am updating the blog .

Reviving it a bit .

Pulling it out if the internet landfill and brushing its hair again .

Sorry Mr Blog . Your everso dusty

I have just blown off the dust from this blog . There was so much- it  filled up the vacuum.

I was talking about it the blog other day in the past tense and realised how different things were when we started it . I didn’t really know what a blog as , and I remember you saying -whats that ?!

It seems the whole world got on the blogesphere and with that we more or less closed down as we got a little rattled .

There was never enough time in the day and late nights were a regular thing updating .

I have realised that I actually quite miss it – It was so nice waking up to your new posts and seeing your photographs , drawings and general fashion life .

Shall we start it again? Its the only reason why we stuck our names together .

Come on big sis

You know it . I know it .We know it .

Our jackyblue blog has been neglected over the few months .

However if you are missing us then come and join us on instagram! It works best for us and is constantly being updated .We always wanted to use a tool to inspire us visually and this works really well for us designers . We love the blog but the instagram is on the move with us all of the time .

Join us NOW here AND here ,!

Came across this rather great article from a 1960 something Queen magazine . Gave me some top tips if I was thinking of changing into one down the line.

cos you know its true . There is a song in here somewhere .

Its been five months already since we made the move back to london again . I can’t believe it .

Now this looks kinda cool . Bet its only available on super 8 sans sound .

The weather isn’t too hot at the mo . But like Brigitte -I have always been a believer of sunnies OVER the hair when the sun shines .

Yeah baby .

My lipstick is matching my bangle .

St Martins .Colour research i did .Apparently .

This is where and why my journey into fashion began .

This was stuck on my school english folder .

I have still kept it .

Dear Mum

We do love you .

Especially in these difficult days ahead …

J&B

…is the perfect way to design new silhouettes

I really love the new Sandro Homme 2012 look book that is  featured a lot on the internet at the moment  . They have captured that Parisian man so well .I could so easily wear this look myself . Well done team Sandro .

POSH WITH A CAPITAL P

December 31, 201

FROM THE VAULT (AUTUMN / WINTER 2011)

Ouuu, they’re sharp, those fashion folk, aren’t they? So on the ball it’s frightening. There’s one fabulous behind-the-scenes designer lady who, on meeting the Queen, had, after some careful thought, just one thing to say: “I think she might be the poshest person I’ve ever met.” Erm, you don’t say, love.

Haha nudge nudge wink wink . I ain’t going to kiss and tell though …..

I have come to London without a brolly .Duh! So I may treat myself to a JAmes Smith and Sons visit .

So happy its still there .I was dreading it may have been turned into a Tesco Metro .

Blimey ol’ rileygovernor we have returned !

Our friends in the country think we are mad .

Our friends in London and pleased with our return .

Most people ,get to an age ,usually when kids arrive ,and leave the rat race and never return.

Always one to buck a trend , we and the family have come back after 6 years away.

Its feels a little bit naughty , but feels so right  .

(Now I have to learn how to use an oyster card )

imagine if we had younger brother who dressed like this . How cute .Then we could be matching .

…just pile it on and cut a Joan of Arc on your forehead

On google maps hybrid  yesterday evening .

Is this a normal concurrence in the world of satellite maps ?

Or have I missed a huge Jumbo exhibition happening just off the Seven Sisters Road?

Answers on a postcard please…..

( I am officially an anorak )

I am not a big fan of horses .

But this combo could work for me .

(I would  have to minus the handlebar rope cord & bottom sheet . I mean, really )

Randomly found here

A label ran by a friend of hers called Fuud . And I had a big love for these .

Wearing the trackies with a nice cashmere roll neck could work for me  .

(***But realistically I am not sure I am able to put the laura ashley dress at the back of the closet just yet….)

So my gorgeous Hip hop sister arrived at the weekend .

Yeah-the younger sis has taught me a bit or two about fashion . I must look soooo boring/middle aged/past it  to her .

She told me about these labels that only the young would know about and I became more envious of her youth by the minute .

Her life ( as a trainee doctor ) revolves around leggings ,faux gold ,unitards,old school trainers and shell suit tops.

Moi is très jel .

She loves this label called Puckoo ( above)who custom make leggins for about £55.00 . Bit of a bargin if you ask me .
