Zara Lookbook

Flicking through the Zara website, I fell in love with the looks they have in their online LOOKBOOK. I decided to feature some of them on here.

The colours are so bold and beautiful and I love the nautical feeling to it. My favourite has to be the wide leg polka dot trousers! I would love to be able to pull them off, but I always worry that my belly is a bit to round for them.

Have you seen anything that you want in the fashion world?

Screw the essay... OOTD Post!

Cardigan - TOPSHOP, Shirt - PRIMARK, Vest - PRIMARK, Skirt - George, Bag - Primark, Tail - H&M.

As you can probably tell by the title. I really should be writing my essay which is due this Friday, but I haven't done an OOTD post in a while! So, here it is!

It isn't clear in this image, but I am wearing the new MAC Wonderwoman lipstick 'Spitfire'. I got it whilst I was in Paris, I paid a bit more that you would over here, but what the hell! I was in PARIS!

The ring I am wearing is from another bloggers shop. Which reminds me, more clothing and accessories will be uploaded into my wee shoppe soon! So keep your eyes peeled!

Another post will be uploaded shortly, roughly talking about my fashion course at University.

Until then...

Happy Blogging!

I'm back...

I am back from Paris now! Usual blogging can now commence and I have my little giveaway to hold now! I need to gather all the bits and bobs that are going to be in the prize and take some nice photos of them all.

Paris was amazing. At first it was a bit scary because it wasn't exactly what I imagined it to be. Where I was, wasn't a beautiful scene from a DIOR perfume advert. To be honest it was a little bit rough, so rough that one of my friends was pick pocketed on the metro! It was scary. The Eiffel tower was stunning, I stood for about 5 minutes just saying 'Oh my god. It's there!' and then I spent the rest of my time in that area saying 'NO! Merci' to the men who were trying to sell tacky miniature Eiffel Towers.

I took a couple of hundred photos, so I won't bore you with them all. So, here are some of the best moments which I managed to capture on my camera.

The little art shop round the corner from the hotel.

Basso & Brooke Fall RTW 2011

My second collection that I want to blog about is... Basso & Brooke!

As a fashion and textiles student I love it when textile designs start designing for the body more than walls and fabrics. Fur collars are going to be popping up all over the  place at this rate. My second collection feature and both have used fur trimmings! I do like the texture of fur!

Basso & Brooke are amazing textile designers. Bold prints with bright, strong, bold colours. This is right up my alley! Another point that I would like to bring up is... The structure and form of the garments are also strong, which is featured  a lot throughout the Fall collections. That is what I love about season changes! Spring/Summer =  soft, Fall/Winter = strong! I just love it!

Gucci Fall 2011 Ready-To-Wear Collection

Get ready ladies! This collection is stunning!

The sharp colours and the amazing cuts of fabric are perfect for a strong and confident  woman. Hats, Fur Shawls, Velvet Jackets and long trousers! I just want to eat it up.

The colours are simply beautiful. Very rich bold tones which really stand out against the models pale skin. Teal, turquoise, scarlet, mustard, grey, purple, polar blue, brown, cream and burgundy. I am sure that there will be one colour to suit all skin types within this amazing collection! My favourite piece has to be that incredible red gown that just POPS out of the collection! It is stunning, elegant but yet very sensual and sexual! Very beautiful!!

More collections from other designers will be following. My life is just a bit swamped at the moment!
