Christmas in London: Zandra Rhodes 50 Years of Fabulous Exhibition and Selfridges Windows

A couple of days ago I spent a lovely Christmassy day in London. Starting off with the Fashion and Textile's Exhibition of Zandra Rhodes 50 Years of Fabulous.  And ended with a spot of shopping and the exhibition was amazing, Zandra Rhodes design throughout the years she specialised in print design and I loved the vibrant colours and how she evolved through the times.
I took lot's of photos but these were some of my favourite.

Then oxford street to look at this years Christmas Windows. The theme was suture Fairy Tales and they were as usual stunning.

Topshop:

I like this simple cami I love the subtle pattern in the sequins, wear it with a pair skinny jeans and a cute jacket job done!

Handmade Fashion

I love high street and designer clothes don't get me wrong, I love me a bit of Topshop which if you read my blogpost you will know it's my go to fashion inspiration for my posts. 
But as I embark in starting my own little business trying to sell my designs online I know how hard it is to get noticed from the big stores but also how much time, love and passion goes into each piece which is handmade by someone. But also high street although fabulous, is massed produced many people will be wearing, which could led to an awkward situation where you turn up to work or party and your are wearing the same thing as three other people! Wearing a handmade item will give you good chance of looking unique and will be giving people outfit envy!
