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!

Suit Up!

I am absolutely in love with the range of chic suits that Zara a currently stocking. Making a statement with amazing colours interesting cuts to suit every style and body shape.  What I love about a female power suit is that you can rock it your way.  Go classic and wear it with a simple white chiffon blouse and a pair of black stilettos and wear it to work. 
Or for an everyday or evening look wear it shirtless and fancy bralette underneath or if your really brave nothing at all!  And for accessories keep it simple a basic clutch bag or small handbag and maybe a pair of basic hoop earrings.

I was so excited today to go to another Victoria and Albert Fashion In Motion Fashion Show. 
This was couturier Guo Pei first fashion show in the UK and wow it was amazing! Her grow inspired dress were flawless her embellishments sparkled as they models slowly drifted down the runway.  Not the kind of fashion you would were down the shops but a beautiful and stunning display of creativity and craftsmanship.

Winter Florals

So the days are getting colder and the nights darker so there is nothing to cheer up a dark day like a beautiful winter floral. Darker but not any less stunning or feminine than a summer floral. Keep warm with a scarf and a pair of cosy boots and an oversized bag or comfy backpack to create a chic winter outfit.

Killing Eve: The Outfits

A couple of weeks ago I went to the BAFTA café to see some of the amazing Killing Eve outfits. Its free and definitely worth a look if your in the area though I don't recommend going there specially as it is very small and spoiler alert the pictures below are all the outfits featured. 

My favourite was obviously in infamous Molly Goddard pink tulle dress which is just as amazing in real life. But I also though the Dres Von Noten tailored suit was just fabulous and amazing too!  It was pretty amazing to see the designer pieces and knowing the story behind them!

Sassing Up a Skirt

It's winter, it's cold, dark and yes probably raining! 
So there is nothing like trying to remember those warm sunny days like a bright skirt. And this season there is no short supply. 

The skirts are fabulous, so sass up a summery skirt with a chunky jumper and a pair of grungy boots or a casual tee and leather jacket. I have picked out my favourite midi skirts from Topshop, with Topshop boots, jackets and tees, and to bring the price down bags form primark! 

I have sassed them up so you don't have too. Step out in style even on those dark and dreary days! 
I particularly like the red a black skirt a colour pallet that is big this season, or even the cute floral one the outfit gives it that cool girl edge.
