Festival Favourites at NEXT

So summer is here and we are all preparing our summer wardrobe and in particular those festival pieces. whether you'e rocking it out at Glastonbury or going fr chilled summer vibes in Ibiza, there's a festival that suits every kind of taste and picking your top pieces to pack with you is all part of the fun, so when I was checking out Next online I was super happy to find so many amazing pieces.

1. Laser Cut Sleeveless Top- £28 / 2. Tye Dye Shorts- £30 / 3. Black Flatforms- £35 / 4. Sunglasses- £15 /

/ 5. Bracelet- £10 / 6. Backpack- £26.

Unfortunately for the first year in many I have no festivals planned and some may call this irony but this year I've found so many bangin' festival pieces, it's such a shame I have wont be wearing them anywhere! From Next I chose this cute laser cute vest, this would be perfect tucked into the Tye Dye Hot Pants and teamed with these Chunky Black Flatforms. To channel my Boho Queen I've accessorized this with some oversized round Sunnies, Beaded Bracelets and an Aztec Backpack. 

Well then these are my favourite pieces, what do you think? Somebody please say they'll take me with them so I can buy everything! So where are you heading this summer and what will you be wearing?

LFW: Day 3

Burberry Prorsum: AW 13

The latest collection from the British genius Christopher Bailey comes under the name 'Trench Kisses' and boy was it fantastic. Based on sixties showgirl Christine Keeler, there was a hint of her controversial life in every look.

A mix of the Burberry Heritage and Keeler's questionable lifestyle, resulted in a beautiful juxtaposition of classic Trench Coats made from Latex and Rubber. Formal pencil skirts in leopard print and sheer latex alongside cute knitwear with pretty collars was match made in heaven; Maybe something to take the edge of the kinky Keeler aura.

No matter whether this was your thing, my thing, or Burberry's thing, it's safe to say Christopher Bailey and Cara made Kitten Heels cool again.

Take a look at my favourite looks below;

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.

Scrolling through blog after blog and reading through magazine after magazine certainly takes it toll on my disappearing bank balance.

BACK

Ann-Sofie Back grew up just outside of Stockholm and studied at Beckman's College of Design, before taking the big step we all did...she moved to London! There she began her studies on the highly regarded MA Fashion Design course at Central St Martins.

Back started her first Label Ann-Sofie Back in 2001 and after 4 years launched the diffusion line BACK. This was to appeal to a younger customer with a more accessible price point. The line is more wearable and less conceptual, but still evokes the qualities portrayed in her mainline collection.

Ann-Sofie now shows in London, after 4 seasons at Paris Fashion Week. Back is also Joint Creative Director at Cheap Monday and has designed Collections for High Street giant Topshop.

Ann-Sofie Back, has become one of my favourite designers in recent years, becoming obsessed with watching her shows come LFW. Now showing at Stockholm Fashion Week in addition, I love her diffusion line BACK, just as much.

BACK offered a sporty feel with oversized jumpers and baggy trousers. Metallic Foils and Leather was mixed with knitted football Scarves and layering's of Checks. A Clash of concepts and somewhat jumbled, it always seems to make sense in the end. Doing what she does best Back showed us it isn't only her mainline which pushes the boundaries.

Stockholm February 2013

So over the past few days we have seen some great shows coming out of Stockholm Fashion Week.

Stockholm is one of my favourite Cities and I adore the fashion week there even more. There is something quite edgy about the whole event. It is obviously smaller than the main events in NY, Paris and London, but this also has its benefits. I love that we are seeing some High Street Brands and the amazing H&M Design Award as well as designers like Carin Wester, Whyred & Ann-Sofie BACK....

Cheap Monday held it's Fall 2013 Show at a School's Gymnasium in the Centre of Stockholm. They absolutely killed it with their wearable collection of layering, denim and lace. Red Headed Boys and Girls were sent down the catwalk with neon yellow lace and shoes to put a spin on the SS13 Grunge Trend, which we see continuing through to the Autumn Season.
