  • One to watch | Elizabeth Banks

    Now that all the glitz and hype around the Met Gala this week has calmed down a little bit, I thought I’d concentrate my eye on one lady who really captured my attention at the event. 
    Elizabeth Banks stormed the event in dividing opinions in a bold Mary Katrantzou gown. For many it was too much, but I expected no less from Ms Banks.
    Pre-2012/2011 Elizabeth Banks was on my radar for two things, her comedic turns in Scrubs/30 Rock and her recurring roles in Rom-Coms and silly Comedies like ‘Definitely, Maybe’, ‘Role Models’ and ‘Zack and Miri make a porno’. 
    This year she burst in the forefront of the fashion pack after her impressive run during The Hunger Games press tour. Looking back at her red carpet choices, there’s definitely no static formula. She loves colour, she isn’t afraid of bold prints and very much embraces textures and daring architecture. In short she’s a fashion chameleon. 
    When it comes to her side walk style, she’s much slicker and chic-er, favouring a dark palette of colours and classic accessories. But that doesn’t make her boring. Whether in Versace or Marc Jacobs you know she’ll work her look and is for sure someone you want to keep an eye out for (especially with two more Hunger Games movies to come! Yay more press tours!).

  • Wishlist Item[s]…One Vintage


    If there’s one brand that always catches my eye when browsing through Net-A-Porter it’s One Vintage. The collections are masterminded by former Paul & Joe UK partner Marcella Symons’, who with her team of seamstresses reworks vintage pieces and fabrics. 
    The end result are amazing unique pieces with a hint of old school glamour. Their dresses are especially gorgeous, most have a very 40’s movie siren feel about them. Though the fabrics and trims are all sourced from the past century, every piece could easily fit into a 21st Century wardrobe. But you’d need a pretty hefty bank balance and a quick clicking finger…the One in One Vintage also stands for One-off.

    A quick post to share some photos I stumbled across between essay writing & Uni. Taken by Tommy Ton and were featured on Style.com, these sidewalk style photos from Sydney fashion week were enough to have me wishing the sun would come back to the UK. There’s just so much colour! I love it!
