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?

Instagram Inspiration!

So everybody uses Instagram and we all know that there is so much inspiration on trends, lifestyle, styling, ootd ideas, etc. I always find something I absolutely love and decided to start keeping anything that inspires me.

Take a look at some of the below and tell me what you think... Do you have a favourite Instagrammer or something you love to look for on there? Let me know!

LFW: Day 2

Sunday the 17th was the day I had been waiting for after scanning over the LFW schedule a few days ago. Topshop Unique, Mary Katranzou, Richard Nicoll, Nicole Farhi were all on for today and they were all worth the wait. The weather was beautiful and so was the FROW, with the likes of Pixie Geldof, Kate Bosworth, Nicola Roberts all in tow it was hard not to feel the anticipation of the fashion forward collections waiting to parade the catwalks.

Topshop Unique: AW 13

Every season we see a new Topshop Show Space unveiled at Fashion Week. This time is was the chance for the Tate Modern to shine. The concrete background was perfect for the boyish charm we see so often during the Topshop Unique shows.

The show began with model of the moment Cara Delevingne in a edgy oversized long-line bomber jacket married with a beautiful patent leather skirt and cute knitted crop top. Models outfitted in black outwear with hints of blood red followed, whilst heavy knits with softer flippy skirts showed a juxtaposition in texture. This soon turned to soft pretty pink hues, for sating dresses and androgynous tailoring.

Topshop Unique doing what they do best, but with a bit more edge and a little hint of glamour. One of My Favourite Shows so far this season, take a look at my favourite looks below;

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!
