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.

Portobello

So on Saturday (Dec. 17) my and friend and i decided to finally visit the prestigous Portobello Market, and let me tell you we were not disappointed!
So much bargains and so much vintage, i bought this amazing pocket watch and chain for a fiver and it brings life to any dull outfit i may wear.



But my proudest buy would be my Lil Wayne top, i've longed for this top for ages because i think he just looks nice on a t-shirt as his tattos are very dazzling to me. I bought the top in XL so i can wear it with skinny jeans or leggings and of course a nice leather jacket will compliment it.


£8

With any printed tee i would'nt wear too much accesories or any long necklaces as it will be too distracting and take the attenton away from the top.

To any Londoners or any one else who wants to visit go Portobello Market its really amazing.


Merry Christmas

Emma Watson

So as Harry Potter is ending tomorrow (hand me a dozen tissue boxes)
I thought, i'd write about the actors style, and the names that come to mind when i think of harry potter and style are Emma Watson, Bonne Wright and Clemence Posey.

Now we all know Emma Watson has impeccable style, shes literally amazing never puts a foot wront whether shes looking casual or going to a premiere.

I love the girly aspects of her style,the frills, the bright pastel colours, the floaty-ness of her dress and her amazing accessorises.
For example at the Deathly Hallows part 2 Premiere in Trafalgur Square:
Oscar De La Renta


This dress is magnificent and is of course a La Renta Masterpeice, i love the jewelled rings, there soo chc.


Recently ive noticed that the british sweetheart is dressing much more edgier:

I love the draping in the dress she wore to the deathly hallows part 2 premiere in New York, matched with the smokey eyes that is one show stopper! The number she wore to letterman was very risque, but on her it looked great she teamed them wth black wedges which the outfit look less party chic and a bit more casual. Looks like shes shedding away her good girl image!

Jameela Jamil.

Jameela, the t4 presenter with the signature hair-behind-left-ear look.
Her style is soo indie, and is exactly like mine, if i had more money and a killer figure.

Her day style is soo casual and effortless with a sense of retroness about it








The lace on the top look is risque but she pulls it, i love seeing colour on a dull outfit. The second outfit is my summer style : Chilled, relaxed and very' LA'.
 I love the dog tooth print cardigan, i like wearing simple outfits with massive cardigans c'est plus chic comme ca!


When it comes to evening wear, she pulls off a variety of looks, i found of three particular dresses she wore this year though:

Glamour's Women of The Year Awards.
Pirates of the Carribean premiere

Comedy Gala.
Woah, these dresses are amazing, she does rock a bandeau dress. I love how the last two dresses have full skirts and i adore the train on that bodycon!

Emma xoxo
