    Wear the runway trend now | Rock n Roll style at Just Cavalli S/S12

    I’m currently in the middle of a very hectic first week back at University so I’ve only just managed to catch up fully on the Milan Fashion Week collections for Spring/Summer 2012.

    One collection which certainly caught my eye was the Just Cavalli presentation. Encompassing the everything sexy about the label the collection had a retro Rock n Roll feel with an added boho twist. From leather to both leopard and snake prints to flowing dresses and shirts, though a S/S collection, I could definitely spot pieces that would easily work into an Autumn/Winter wardrobe.

    Below I’ve picked a few of my favourite pieces from around the web to help inspire you to re-create this look now before it becomes big in the Summer.

    This is probably the easiest collection of pieces to incorporate into an Autumn Wardrobe with all the darker colours and leather. But once it hits Summer will look great during festival season!

  • Wishlist Item | Festival edition

    Wishlist Item | Festival edition

    So I’m not heading to a festival this year, but since we’re right in the thick of the season at the moment I thought I’d compile a wishlist dedicated to the items I’d love to take!

    ThreadScene pullover: Being practical and fashionable at a festival is essential to me, so this Aztec print jumper would look great on those cold British nights.

    TopShop wellies: The humble wellington boot has become a welcome festival essential and with so many print wellies on the high-street fashionable festival goers are spoilt for choice.

    Rock-it Ship romper: I recently acquired two playsuits (romper suits) and they’re perfect for the summer. Plus lightweight enough to pack into a camping bag. One thing a playsuit needs to be at a festival is practical. You don’t want to be caught in those porta-loos fiddling with buttons and zips, so the ModCloth one I’ve chosen is perfect to pull on and off quickly with no fuss.

    Cat eye sunglasses: I’ve been on the hunt for a perfect pair of cat-eye sunglasses this summer to no avail :( so I’ll lust over these Ray Bans for now.

    Dianne Von Furstenburg shorts: Though denim shorts are pretty much a staple for a music festival, these print Diane Von Furstenburg shorts are refreshingly different.

    Black Tassel Sandals: Just in case the sun does peep out of the rain clouds, I thought I’d pay tribute to the tribal trend with these tassel sandals from River Island.

    MTV tank top & Zoe Karssen tank top: Nothing says rock chic than a logo tank top!

  • Every colour of the rainbow

    Every colour of the rainbow

    Colour blocking is a trend that’s been gracing the red carpet and catwalks for the past few months and now it well and truly working its way into the high street and in people’s wardrobes.

    But you probably knew that. So why am I bringing it up?

    Well, I’ve never big on colour in my own wardrobe, definitely more of neutrals, pastels and matchy-matchy outfits kinda girl. Colour blocking looks fabulous on my fellow bloggers and I’ve seen some looks out and about looking fantastic on people. I don’t quite have the courage to do it myself, but with all this summer sunshine the bright pops of orange, purple and greens have me running to the shops.

    What about you guys?

    Any ideas on how to incorporate colour blocking into a colour phobic’s wardrobe?
