Summer Essentials 2013

Summer Summer Summer.

So this summer your probably going to want to chill with friends, go to as many parties/clubs as you can and just have a great time.
So if your not bothered about choosing different outfits each time i'm hear to help.

The essentials:

1. Denim shorts.

Either high-waisted denim cut offs, which could go for about £10 or less at Brick Lane or Portobello Market. If your not into vintage Topshop, Asos, River Island and MissGuided.com supply a great variety of shorts.

2.Crop tops.

If you dare to bare that midriff this summer crop tops are a must, before branching off into patterned prints get the 3 basics: White, Black and Grey trust me you can not go wrong with these colours.

3. T-shirt Dresses.

T-shirt dresses are a god send, if your like me and would rather wear a bagby shirt than a bodycon dress this will be perfect. And they are ever so casual, just slip one on with some converses and your ready to go.

4.Flatforms.

Flatforms are not only a great modern trend but they also can be styled with everything, from a they can transform an outfit from a causal look to evening attire.

5. Bags.

I know this is a very vague statement but this summer, backpacks and shoulder bags are a must have. With back packs go for all black leather or denim look ones and as for shoulder bags the brighter the better.

6.Trainers/Sneakers

I think everyone should have a pair of comfortable trainers that they can wear with everything, be it Vans, Converses or Nikes. One pair is all you need to make a simple causal summer outfit.

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.
