    Yellow - Lela Rose dress
    Lela Rose
    embellished woven silk-organza dress
    £1,410 from Net-A-Porter

    Catching up on the red carpet looks from the Emmy I spotted a trend forming. It wasn’t that hard to spot, but celebs such as Julianne Moore, Claire Danes, Leslie Mann seemed to be holding onto the last of the Summer sunshine in bright yellow gowns. As happy I am ringing in a new Autumnal season it was a refreshing sight to see some bravery in these ladies colour choices. 
    Inspired by the bright hue, whilst browsing Net-A-Porter, I found this lovely Lela Rose. Not only is it bright enough to embed some much needed Vitamin D in my system but I love the diamante neckline.

    Another week, another round up…but the weather’s taking a turn into Autumn and I’m actually really excited. A new season of fashion is upon up us and I dug out my first knitted scarf. Autumn is seriously my favourite time of year. I love boots and coats and scarves and knitwear and tights and oh everything about this season. 
    I’m also musing about starting a book blog. I’ve been reading alot during my commutes and want somewhere else other than this blog to write about it, but I’m not sure I have the time to get into it…maybe do it as a collab blog? Thoughts? ;)

    Set against the dramatic backdrop of the London skyline, Matthew Williamson’s S/S13 presentation was always going to being quite the spectacle to behold. Amongst the gorgeous chiffon material and graphic prints a trend was emerging, clearly influenced by the skyline behind. Beautiful blues, all different shades and tones and materials were paraded down the catwalk by Williamson and with so much choice who would want to wait until next Spring to start incorporating it into their wardrobe?

    Above are a few choice pieces to get you started. Think sharp tailoring paired with float-y fabrics, mix different blue hues and don’t be afraid to use texture until those amazing prints filter down to the high street level next year.
