  • A season of change | Autumnal Inspiration

    I can’t rave enough about Autumn. It’s seriously my favourite time of year. The start of a new season. A time to change. A time when the whole world just transforms before your very eyes. I get inspired by everything once this seasons starts. A lot of people consider Autumn to be a time when everything starts to get darker and fades away…
    But consider the bright oranges, reds and vivid landscapes of the leaves falling off the trees. The cosiness of a Fall evening in chunky knits that were stored away all Summer. Fresh starts and a new school/college/or even work year bundled up in duffel coats. Layers, layers and more layers. Crunchy piles of leaves. Halloween and pumpkins and rich harvest feasts. Boot weather, cable knit socks and tights. Wellies and umbrellas and the weather becoming the perfect excuse to cuddle in a blanket, a hot chocolate and a good book.

  • Viva Forever: Setting trends since 1996 – The Spice Girls

    Probably the highlight for most people watching the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics was the reunion of the biggest girl band on the planet. Each one of them looked equally as fabulous as the next, encompassing their on stage alter egos to perfection. From left to right:
    Victoria Beckham pouted her way through their set and represented British fashion in a stunning black Giles Deacon gown. Geri Halliwell sported a typically loud red Suzanne Neville mini, Union Jack included. Emma Bunton’s sophisticated Maggie Cooke body con looked amazing on her, definitely a more grown up Baby Spice. Mel C’s look is actually my favourite and, most shockingly, JD Sports! Then Scary Spice herself, Mel B, bedazzled the crowd in an OTT Zuhair Murad jumpsuit.

    After really impressing the fashion crowd at the ceremony it’s funny to see just how much their styles have evolved over the years. It’s very easy to write off their fashion from the 90’s as a hot mess but look a little closer and I’m sure you’ll find some current trends (that you may already be wearing) amongst the garish 90’s glare.
    Crop tops under the disguise of ‘bralets’, the infamous platform shoes are now ‘flatforms/creepers’ and didn’t I spot form Ms Cole wearing some similar loud sports wear in her last video? 
    As the saying goes, ‘what goes around, comes around’…and if the Spice Girls are sporting it? Even better!

    Keep in wishing…
