House of Sunny

No Comments »

House of Sunny is a fashion forward brand which really intrigues me. Prominent in its cohesive and unusual collections are exaggerated forms, where sharply cut edges blend with and give form to the loosely fitted designs. I like how the 'clean flawless aesthetic' of their garments is enhanced through a monotone, neutral pallet, though there are some striking patterns scattered in the mix. The structured and masculine silhouettes are quite powerful for me, though I feel they are softened by their luxurious use of fabric. It's great that HoS promotes wearable, staple pieces that will really endure, both in their quality and their innovative approach to style.





And here are the pieces I would love to get my hands on:


This laid back crop is still made feminine by its silky fabric and softly shaped sides.

 I really love the cool mix of textures on this dress which are distinct, even though they overlap with the buckle tie running across
Love it - this suit would definitely turn heads in the office!

Trend Report - Step Into Spring A-Z

No Comments »

The 70's queen reigned over the catwalks for SS15, strutting forward in hippie chic fringing and flowing, flowered boho dresses. Suede tassles, leather boots and denim shorts reminiscent of cowgirls and Indians, stood alongside models in rock-chick flares, sequins and stars & stripes. An unusual interplay of Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter took place for many designers, who showcased long jackets, jumpers and brilliant furs among the dainty sheers and delicate fabrics. One of my top picks would have to be Giambattista Valli, whose elegant minimal top & skirt combos are patterned in fresh whites and pale pinks. I also love Miu Miu's looks boasting feminine high-waisted leather pencil skirts and ruffled crops, pretty pointed bow boots, and fur collared coats in pastels and bright reds. I particularly like Chanel's, Fendi's and Jonathan Saunders' take on reengaging and softening the masculine suit. Finally, Mary Katrantzou's beautiful sequinned floral pieces, D&G's cute floral sheer ankle socks and Lela Rose's vintage floral designs really got me excited about hitting Spring/Summer! I've created an A-Z trend guide, which again I got a bit carried away with, but should give an idea of how you can integrate the trends into your everyday looks.

Style Icon - Diane Kruger

No Comments »

German born Elite model turned Hollywood actress, Diane Kruger, certainly deserves a spot on my top style icon list. Channeling designers such as Chanel, Calvin Klein and Jason Wu, Diane is known for risk taking, balancing sophistication with an element of fun. Her red carpet and front row looks play on vintage styles in monochrome or 'blush' colours, complimenting her light hair and complexion. My favourite outfits look to simple accessorizing; Diane shows that a clutch, courts and a bold red lip are all you need to look ultra chic. 


Shoesday

It's time for another Shoesday Tuesday, and I think that these shoes are pretty all white... Yeah, I went there. I am not a massive fan of the big platformed white sandals that have really hit off over summer. These shoes come in more classic styles, though they have interesting designs, textures or patterns. White is a great colour choice for shoes because it will goes with almost every other shade yet will give an outfit impact!

Shoesday - Florals

I've had a busy week travelling between London and Nottingham, so haven't had time to do my shoesday Tuesday post. So it looks like it will have to be a floral Friday, with bold blooms and pretty petals adorning these summer shoes.
