olly murs, one of the uk x-factor alumni, held a concert at the london hammersmith apollo on tuesday evening. i must admit i wasn't a big fan of his music or style when he was in the competition, but fair play to him: i think he worked really hard to realise his dreams of cutting an album. and no mean feat to hold a solo concert too. for this event, olly wore the double layered top from YSL yves saint laurent.

it is also the same top that ballet dancer benjamin millipied wore two weeks back on the streets of new york, filming scenes for the upcoming YSL fragrance campaign.

i love olly's dressing here, the pairing of the dark blazer with sand colored slim fit trousers. i am beginning to think the trousers are from topman as they resemble the pair that i've got. and definitely loving the white ysl top, i would like to have one please.

i am also pretty sure he wore a pair of navy suede punched brogues from british shoe maker, grenson. but much as i love the whole ensemble, it's a little "made in chelsea" than "apollo hammersmith solo gig" if you get my drift.

i really love these double layered tops from ysl. it creates the layered look without much fuss. these cashmere blend henley tops are available online from matchesfashion.com and mrporter.com.

the navy suede brogues with red/orange rubber soles from grenson is also available online from matchesfashion.com.

am loving this look.

Grenson Spring Summer 2011

dylan brogue in suede and smooth calf / ph: genson

regular readers will know i have a weakness for shoes. i still stand by my belief, that a pair of beautiful shoes can make a cheap outfit look expensive, but an expensive outfit will be ruined by crappy shoes. i said that to my colleague a few months back when he was thinking of getting a pair of shoes to attend a friend's wedding. after working out a reasonable budget, i took him to the grenson store by liverpool street station in london. i must have good persuasive powers: he wanted a pair, he left with two!

but truth is, we both were rather taken aback by how well constructed grenson shoes are, and that prices are really reasonable too. all their shoes are goodyear welted (a time consuming process) but it meant that the shoes should lasts longer than other type of shoes. it also meant that the shoes can be re-soled many times over, making them a wonderful investment.

my favourite pair for spring summer 2011: the dylan brogue in suede and smooth calf in that oooh so perfect chestnut hue.

and then there's the classic "tom" the oxford shoe, again in a beautiful shade.

the "dylan" is also sexed up with hot pink rubber soles. slightly disturbed that the right sole is higher than the left. must be the angle or styling.

i also like "bernie" the grey suede boots with smooth black toe caps. very johnny depp don't you think?

a close favourite to the "dylan" suede/calf brogues, are these "bernie" brown suede boots. i could really do with a pair right now.

time to grab my colleague and head to grenson again. more online here.
