Guys let me introduce you to my latest TV obsession, Orphan Black.
Following the story of Sarah Manning, who after witnessing the suicide of a woman who looks just like her, decides to take her identity to start a new life for herself and her young daughter Kira. But that’s only the start of Sarah’s story, because the woman wasn’t just her look-a-like the woman – who we later learn is called Beth Childs – was her clone and she’s not the only one out there. Sarah soon ends up in a tangled web, discovering her fellow clones along the way and the truth as to why they were created…all whilst trying not to get killed.
In celebration of Orphan Black returning to BBC America this week – and hopefully on BBC3 some time soon too, please and thanks Beeb Bosses! – I thought I’d showcase the style of the women of Orphan Black. Say hello to the Clone Club. (more…)
After the manic-ness of the January/February red carpet season we’re back in action again, this time with 2015 MTV Movies Awards held this past Sunday at the Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles. As always I’m running down my favourite looks from the night…
Blah blah another Spring post blah blah… :P I think it’s safe to say that the blogging world has caught a bit of Spring fever and what better way to jump on that bandwagon than to gather a little bit of inspiration from the natural world and add some floral prints to your wardrobe.
I’ve lovingly nicknamed this one but I think you know the type of floral print on about. I’m talking abou the types of florals you’ll see in the store splashed across every Cath Kidston store. It’s super prim and very pretty, using pink rose buds on pale pastel backdrops. This print is a perfect accompaniment to quaint English tea rooms and Spring strolls in the park.
There’s no escaping the big 70s revival trend that’s come through on the highstreet. No longer exiled to the depths of fashion Siberia, 70s florals are loud, over the top and oh so on trend right now. Think earthy tones in oranges, mustard yellows and browns with dashes of white for detail. The flowers themselves range from carnations to sunflowers to daisies, and can either come in small ditsy formations or larger than life printwork.
If you’re adverse to tradition or want to try something a bit different, go digital and bring florals into the 21st century. Instead of your standard illustrated prints think photographic images and pixelated petals, spattered amongst bold geometric designs.
These are the kinds of florals that will see you through the Spring transition and right into Summer festival season. These pieces are more subtle and often printed on sheer fabrics with lily, bluebells, and petal blossoms almost fading into the backdrop.
