Trend Report - Step into Spring - Colours

No Comments »

An array of sugar-hued and boldly bright colours illuminated the catwalks for SS15, in a fun mix of delicate embossments and striking prints, laces and ruffles, soft leathers and shimmering satins. Also featured for the season were darker shades of black, navy, rich purples and deep khakis, which worked harmoniously with the lighter shades to disrupt the traditional associations of colour for Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. I did get a little overexcited in the making of my trend report posts, and ended up saving over 1000 images from Vogue to create these collages... I know. So here are some of my favourite designs showcasing the colour trends, from the earthen tans to the crisp whites and vivid yellows - enjoy!

As you may have seen in my previous posts, I really do like the combination of pink and red, as I feel the colours complement each other well. The pink and red shades in my post Colour Block, were rather vibrant, so here I've opted for muted tones which have a more wintry appeal. Again, I love mixing many textures in one look, and am especially pleased with my fluffy jumper bought for me as a Christmas present by my twin - she knows me so well! It's quite a plain outfit, so I added a bow to make it more girly, though this sadly broke during the snapping and my attempt to make one wasn't so good! Hope you enjoy, anyway :) x

Shoesday - Halloween

No Comments »

One of my favourite times of the year is Halloween, simply because I get an excuse to dress up... the sweets are an added plus. So I've been excited looking at inspiration for costumes, and spent quite a while searching for Halloween themed shoes that will make any devil, vampire, ghost - you name it - look fab! Here are some of my inspirations:

RED

These blood red heels would look great if you're dressing as a devil, with glitter options adding extra glam. The rounded t-bar shoes would suit a little red riding hood, a scary-but-cute doll, or even a Dorothy if you want a less creepy fancy dress!



VAMP

Think gothic lace, frills and dark shades; these shoes would be perfect for any vampire or Victorian  themed costume. I love the different textures of velvet and lace, and the shiny patent shoes would bring the look up to date. Match with dark lipstick and an up do for the ultimate themed look.

WITCH

Even a witch can have a fashionable side with these sparkling, bright and fun designs that will make you stand out (for the right reasons)! Again, I think glitter boots are a great choice, though you can add colour to an all black outfit with metallics and vivid purple or blue.

Floral print is a summer staple for me, though this skirt can be worn all year round; the A-line with it's monochrome pattern would work well for any occasion. I really am a shirt fanatic, and my loose fitting shirt is perfect for me in this pretty deep pink/red shade. Being a (former) student however, my ironing skills aren't quite up to scratch, so unfortunately my shirt comes with creases.
