Skirt of the Summer!

So topshop had an amazing bias satin skirt last season and this season they have given it a summer update and its back with a vengeance and I am loving it. Its such a chic  and easy look to pull off! Its one of those item which you can dress down with a bad jumper or t shirt or jazz it up for an evening look with a leather jacket a pair of heels and a chunky bracelet.
This skirt comes in so many beautiful colours and prints but my favourite has to be the purple. 

Perfect Prints

I love a good print I love how it can take a simple garment and really elevate it and increase the drama. I have been experimenting with print design. I did my first sample I couldn't believe the amount of choice there is in terms of fabrics you can have digitally printed. So I was so excited this morning when it arrived I really pleased how it turned out. I don't think I would order it for a whole garment I think I would like to create a more complex and intriguing pattern.  But I also ordered some generic samples and I am keen to have another go. 
But it got me thinking about luscious prints being used now and how to style them to perfection:

Hello 2019!

So its a new year (if hadn't already noticed) which means lots of new fashion and post to go along with it. 2018 was a bit patchy last year but I will be striving to correct this in 2019!

To start the year I thought I would select some of my favourite trends coming for the up coming summer something to look forward to that and the warm weather of course!

Fashion in Motion: Carla Fernández

On Friday I went to yet another amazing fashion show by an amazing fashion designer. Carla Fernández is uses her Mexican heritage to inspire her work and her textiles. Her pattern cutting skills are amazing with beautiful designs with stunning fabrics. My personal favourite was the tailored pieces which stunned when walking down. The live music created an amazing atmosphere, overall an amazing show once again.    

Today I am Wearing A tartan Skirt: A Day in Brighton

So it October but the weather was screaming out for a skirt. I love my new Topshop tartan skirt and Brighton was the perfect place to try it out with my favourite V&A earrings. . The pier was stunning with the crashing waves behind me. The fabric shop there was also so amazing it got my creative fashion juices flowing saw a beautiful tartan to match my skirt. Chips by the sea and walking along the beach amazing! 

Item of the Week

I found this beautiful tailored number while I was doing my weekly Topshop scrolling.  Its so simple which makes it so chic. I feel like this jacket could last years as its so classic and so many ways to wear casual going out shopping with skinny jeans or dressed up over a cute Little Black Dress. So this is my Item of the Week. 

Today in London I am wearing striped Trousers and a Body...

So anther week and another two exhibitions in London. This time not at the Victoria and Albert but at the Fashion and Textiles Museum and the Business Design Centre.  First I went to the Orla Kelly Life in Pattern exhibition at the Fashion and Textiles Museum. A print inspired designer influenced by the 60s and 70s. There was so many amazing bags and clothes. What I really liked was as you walked into the main part of the exhibition, there was giant oversized garments and tiny replica worn by dolls. If you are in London I would definitely recommend this as one to see.
