WIWT: What I Want Today!

Hello! So it's the beginning of the month, we've all just been paid and have a few sneaky things we want to buy! Wanting so many thins, all the time can take it's toll on your bank. Sooo....I decided the best way to work out what I really wanted was to show you guys my top items each month- the things i'll be looking at buying, or maybe wishing I could buy depending on the price tag! Is there a staple piece you're wanting to get your hand on this month? Or are you saving your pennies for something extra special?

Let me know your thoughts, comments & ideas and I hope you enjoy my What I Want Today: March!

Milan Fashion Week Round Up!

Etro AW13

Veronica Etro is wonderfully brilliant and this season was no exception. A Kaleidoscopic backdrop was the setting for her AW13 show. Beautifully constructed garments with patterns that resemble cathedrals in contrast to leather patchwork biker jackets and trousers created a bit of rock n roll to usually chic label.

Sportmax AW13

Blew again once again by Sportmax this season. Planning my winter wardrobe so far in advance seems such a crime, when we haven't even seen summer, but looking at sportmax i know why i do it. Chic silhouettes and tailoring alongside intricately detailed sheer dresses, with a splash of cobalt blue- the colour we have seen so much of over the past few weeks means i'm hoping winter will hurry up so I can get my hands on some of these beauties. Take a look at my favourite looks below!

Jil Sander AW13

Jil Sanders fall show echoed elegance, with a modern twist. Classic over the knee skirts were paired with panelled jackets and tops that were nipped in at the waist to add femininity to the boyish shapes. Coats were perfectly oversized as to not overshadow the small frame of the sleek haired models. Metallic accessories in the form of puritan shoes and oversized clutches finished of each look perfectly. The blue flippy skirt and orange oversized coat are on my wish list for AW13- what's on yours?

LFW: Day 1

There is so much to take in during Fashion Week and on opening day we saw so many wonderful sights.....Below are a couple of my favourite shows from today. Enjoy!


Moschino Cheap and Chic: AW 13

This may be Moschino's Diffusion line, but the catwalk offered nothing but luxury. Moschino Cheap and Chic absolutely killed it with pretty pinks juxtaposed with black patent and leopard print to form a girly Gothic vibe. 

David Koma: AW 13

The show unfolded with a futuristic theme; models paraded the catwalk in sculptured creations, using music as inspiration. Outwear and dresses followed the shape of an old record and played magically as a pop of colour was injected in the form of bright red. Fantastically futuristic and going against the idea of Koma as the body con man, we see a new direction that is perfectly paying off.

Trend Watch: CheckMate!

When the SS13 Collections were presented to us back in September  we saw the revival of the check. There was tartan, Monochrome, oversizing and more variations of the classic trend. This time we saw a cleaner and more sophisticated way of wearing the pattern Burberry made so famous so long ago. I'm an admirer of this trend and have quite a few staple check pieces myself, so I decided to put together a little moodboard of my favourite pieces which I dream of getting my hands on this season....money permitting of course!
