  • Everybody’s doin’ a brand new dance now | Swinging Style at Olympia Le-Tan S/S13

    Admittedly up to this point in my little journey about learning and loving fashion, the name Olympia Le-Tan only meant one thing…adorably awesome handbag books. Normally the favourite kooky accessory of the like of Clemence Posey or Natalie Portman, this little bags took a backseat to one of the best shows from Paris Fashion Week.
    Taking cues from the Swinging Sixties and soulful divas of yester-year the collection was a feast for a vintage lover’s eyes, with tea dresses, high waisted short shorts and pop socks galore. Better known for their bag range, this emerging clothing designer did well capturing the spirit of the era, with ice-cream colours and lady-like prints sure to be a hit with the celeb crowd.
    The best part of the show by far was the presentation of the clothes themselves. Models paraded onto a stage and danced along to The Locomotion before Ronnie Spector wrapped up the show – have a gander at the video below if you don’t believe me! 

    I love shows that trill both in terms of fashion and design, as well as presentation and just general fun. So this one ticked all of the boxes.

  • 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.

    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.
