SS15 . . .

So finally apologies for the lateness in this post but here is my Spring / Summer 15 what you need to know I'm going to do a quick catch up of all the big trends we will be following, just so you're ready when the time comes.
So without further ado trend here are our trends . . .

Denim
Now it doesn't matter what shade or hue of blue you wear, as long as it's denim you will be ok and look the part.
70's Flare
Now a number of designers seemed to be looking back into the seventies archives to bring back some interesting trends, such as sharp tailoring paired with flares, Henry Holland's bold florals, MaxMara's seventies silhouettes, and who could doubt or question the strong seventies influence on Emilio Pucci's collection!
Bohemia 
Again look at Emilio Pucci and Etro's collections the strong bohemian references were to hard not to spot.
Barbie
Now what 90's kid didn't like Aqua's song I'm a Barbie girl? No, I can't think of any either. Well if you have always dreamed of being a Barbie girl this is your season. Now I hear you ask which designer has made our 5 year old selves jump for joy, Moschino! Of course other designers followed suite as you can see below with hints of Barbie pink popping up in Milan, Paris, New York and London.
Party Time
Yes it was at LFW that we saw a number of designers who showed colourful sequinned covered collections and shimmering metallics in various cuts and styles.
Floral Fancies
A number of designers chose to add beautiful delicate floral embellished touches to their collections. A number of them almost had an ethereal feel to them. Take a look for yourself . . .
So now you know what you have to look forward too for SS15
Cannot wait!

Sunday 5 October 2014

Sunday Splurge . . .

So today I made it down to Miista shoes sample sale, unfortunely for me most of the shoes my size had of course been sold to those who went on the days before. 
What a great event though, I will be down there at the front of the next sample sale queue just you wait and see.
Anyway my Sunday Splurge this week are a pair of Miista shoes, named Lena 


How fab are these boots, I am in love. Now I have loved Missta for a while now and I can't see this love affair ending anytime soon. These shoes will look great on anyone's feet and I can guarantee that they will be super duper comfortable. 
Anyway if you love these boots like me or want to see what other wonderful creations are available at miista shoes click here.

Autumn Hues . . .

So now we are at the start of Autumn, well after our random heat burst.
Now the look I have put together today is of course to be paired with thick tights to keep warm on a crisp morning. Without further ado here is my look of the day . . .

So yes I know florals are a clear focus in this look, but seeing as they are dark hues I think they are the perfect florals for autumn. Now this playsuit is elegant and stylish with a lovely wrap front. A very flattering shape, although a little short for the winter, of course this is were tights come in very handy! To keep your feet warm pair this short playsuit with these tall boots, I love the gold details and finishings on these boots, I think they make them look very expensive, definitely more expensive than the £60 price tag. Throw over a long blazer inspired coat, I do have a weakness for blazers and jackets as I am sure you already have noticed. This piece is wonderful as you have that extra length which in winter is much appreciated as you can imagine. Now onto the backpacks, New Look are onto a winner with this design, I featured this backpack a while ago in white with a geometric grid pattern, now they have made a wonderful floral version of this bag and I am still in love with it! I don't think there could be a fault in this design. Finally onto this stunner of a necklace, yes it is a show stopper but why not have a wonderful necklace to top off this wonderful Autumn look.

What are you wearing this Autumn?
