A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

Barbour waxed women’s jacket in Liberty ‘forest’ print (£230, discontinued). Feminine practicality. Frankly I’m sad they don’t use more flamboyant prints for the men’s line, the tartans get a bit trite. Styled here with a neat town and country ambivalence, by Yewon at girlsack.

Harem pants have got to be the epitome of unsexy (“man-repelling”), yet these ones are rather fetching, certainly as worn—but you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise from the store’s own over-compressed and unremarkable photos (all too common… thank goodness for bloggers who add a splash of humanity back to the ‘product’ process).
“Unity” gown, by sustainable fashion label From Somewhere. Made from offcuts produced in the making of Speedo swimsuits; via EcoSalon.
