Peter Pan Complex.

We have all had a period in our lives where we literally have tried to stop growing up. Lets face it the adult world is scary, it might aswell be a gaping black hole to another universe.

But the latest trends are taking a stance on growing up. I'm talking about a childhood revival.

Dungarees are an essential peice of clothing every 90s child needs. Its a great statement peice for summer as you can literally wear them with everything: the childs version of an LBD.
If your feeling nostalgic they come in cute patterns featuring childhood favorites:
Mickey Mouse
Winnie the Pooh
Bugs Bunny

Check out indie pop princess Marina and the Diamonds rocking the trend:

With a trend like this, the number one rule is too make an impact, for example accessories:
bright big bows
chunky bracelets and necklaces
& colourful headbands to make you look like a big kid.

And of course a great vintage or 1990s revival back pack is a must to complete the look. But if your not all that into backpacks i would recommend a bright coloured satchel, string bag or messenger bag.

For footwear, as grunge lover myself, i would wear worker boots, or Docs, however you can easily pull this look off with trainers. Nike blazers, vintage jordens or all leather converses.



The great thing about this trend is that the pieces are easily accessible you can find cheap one off pieces in vintage stores and charity shops or online in Asos Marketplace or eBay.

Lana Del Rey.

So, for those of you who dont know her (seriously?) Lana, Lizzy or Queen Lana as i call her is fast become a music legend. Her sombre and emotional songs are a musical dream and her style is even better.
Recently, Lana has performed at hackney weekend, the itunes festival and has become the face of H&M. I know right?

Since mulberry named a bag after her, Lana Del Rey has become one to watch, from her artistic and grainy videos which i adore to the nostalgic touch in her wardrobe. Her style is classic from floor-length lace dresses to a dressed down look of a skater skirt, knitted jumper and ballet shoes lana know how to dress and it must be easier when you have your own bag that available in 3 different colors, textures e.g.snake print and an oversize version.

Del Rey Bag.

The new line is great, featuring sensational tones of pinks and red i guess one word to some this line up is romantic, the type of clothing you would wear on a first date in winter or to snuggle up and have a hot chocolate with a significant other, suede heels, baggy  knitted jumpers and peplum tops. The soft colors are perfect for winter if you want to 'jazz' up your old winter wardrobe filled with colors such as navy and dark blue. And for all you vintage lovers this range will be perfect for you,the reminisce of the 60's in the clothes make the line more perfect.

From these photographs i can only assume you have your credit cards out ready to purchase some of these brilliant pieces so i've made it easier for you, just click here.

Fashion Week.

Well London Fashion week has come and gone, but has left a big footprint on the fashion industry so lets discuss. Two words. Phillip. Treacy.

The always wonderful designer used all black models to showcase his mad hatter designs (mind the pun). We all know when it comes to hats Treacy is amazing, from Sarah Jessica Parker and that infamous hat he designed for Princess Beatrice last summer. Treacy knows how to push open the envelope and surprise, although his designs were spectacular cough (cough smiley face head piece) he raised a question that has been buried underneath the rug for years.
Why isn't there more minorities in fashion?
Okay so we all know that Black and Asian models arent featured enough in magazines and editorials but will this show impact the fashion industry or bubble over and fade like most trends in the fashion industry. Futhermore i thought this was a courageous step that has opened the eyes of some designers to add more minorities to there show. I personally cant wait to see how the fashion world will change. Watch this step.
Overall the fashion show was a feast of imaginative and bold designs which were excessive and very MJ.
 

And finally Mulberry its like they displayed images that have been in my mind for ages: autumn/winter colors for spring and summer. So you can only guess that i was ecstatic when i saw dark blue and black pieces in the show, i think they added edginess because i feel as though s/s has been taken over by neon and neutral tones. Although Mulberry has changed my view on pastels the light tones of green, pink and brown added a nice femine touch on the designs. The vibrant oranges and gold brang the collection togther, reminiscent of an indian summer.
Oh and the bags were a delight, from white to black, printed to cut out the bags were fabulous and my new crush is the mulberry willow tote which i will covert and desire till death (or till the next fashion week.)

Topshop Unique left me feeling two things:
1. Jealousy because i will not be able to purchase this collection as i am broke.
2. Admiration because it lived up to the label name.
The lack of color and simplicity of the pieces were very ingenious. The sudden appearance of yellow and prints made the pieices more playful and young which is perfect for summer.






















To finish off this post i am going to pretend im a pyschic and predict the 5 next big trends for next year:
- White, grey and black. I know you might be reading this and saying seriously? but just think of it this way these are 3 classic colours that will NEVER go out of fashion or make you look bad.
- Oversized Blazers or The Boyfriend Blazer
- Pencil dresses.
-Structured Jackets
-OTT hats.

Thank you for reading.

Festival Chic.

i love festival season, as we get to see amazing bohemian 70's looks.

Maxis,

Maxis are a key peice in festival fashion, colourful pleated ones are effortlessly simple yet are a key item in any outfit. When tribal maxis and a cool feel.

Fringing, how boho. Fringing adds that retro feel and it just makes everything look that much better i love this blue fringed bag:

It will make the perfect accessory.


Last but not least DONT FORGET YOUR WELLIES.

High street Vs. Designer

Mawi. Im loving Mawi's clustered necklaces and chunky rings. Their use of winter and summer jewels create a classic yet timeless effect to their jewellery. Their detailed designs display their professional craftsmanship and high maintenance work ethic that only designers can acheive.
 As Mawi is very elegant and feminine,  a clutter of other accessories wont work.Minimalism is key.

I would mix Mawi's signature pieces with high street (like a Peter Pan collar dress, a jumpsuit or a sexy bodycon) witch will instantly add class to any outfit.

Topshop. Whereas high street royalty Topshop has a 70's cool feel when it comes to jewellery, unlike Mawi, Topshop has a mixture of both structured and simple accessories, showing that they can "Cater to all styles."

  I love the fact that all of their peices are unique down to the last intricate detail. like a type writer necklace or a alligator ring. Topshops jewellery will look great if its on its own or amongst loads of other accessories.
