The Cream of the Fashion Crop...

The main focus of fashion week are the collections right? Wrong. More increasingly the lens has been turning to those who are sat on the front row and those hanging outside the shows. This is where I find an endless stream of inspiration.

I love to see how different people look and what trends they have chosen to incorporate. There are some people you see everywhere like Anna Dello Russo, who never fails to look nothing short of fabulous.  Then I find there are usually three main groups of people to look out for.

The Magazine Editors/Magazine staff.

These are the group to watch for the most up to date pieces for the season. I have thrown Miss Dello Russo in for good measure.

The Bloggers.

Bloggers are usually the ones mixing designer pieces with high street and vintage. This is where I find most of my inspiration from.

The A-listers. 

The A -list usually keep it simple with one statement piece and a pair of heels. But boy can they pick their statement pieces. A few celebrities like to push the boundaries just like Eliza is doing here.

Well... they're showing a lot of florals right now, so I was thinking...

'Florals? For spring? Ground breaking.'

 Can you guess the film? If you do I'll give you a gold star. 

On a serious note though. I am loving the florals that designers have being sending out this September. Ashish has been one of my favourite collections so far. I think I might get myself some flower garlands from the haberdashery and attach them to my beloved docs. I love nothing more than teaming my docs with a tea dress; it would seem Ashish had his own ideas on how to work this look.

Here are a few of the floral looks I have seen so far:

Ashish, Christopher Kane, Mary Katranztou, Rodarte.

I think I am going to continue to do these little trend reports; instead of talking about each show. If you want a good catwalk report you can find them on numorous magazine sites, so there isn't much point me doing one. This is my own little take on proceedings. I have seen quite a few trends emerging already, it will be interesting to see if these are carried over to Milan and Paris.

What has been your favourite trend this season? 

Underground for Urban Outfitters

When this hit my inbox I just had to post about it. We all know about my love of creepers. So when I was told about this partnership I had to post about it. 

Underground have used their classic styles but have given them a special twist for Urban Outfitters. I really love the mirrored creepers and the snake skin effect they have used. 

What do you think of the collection?

Autumn Lust List

1. 2. 3. 4.

With Autumn fast approaching us I have been lusting after various items which would fit right into my wardrobe.

I actually have the shirt from New Look already, I love the leather look cuffs and collar. This will be one of my favourite shirts for the next few months. The great thing about it is the way it can be dressed up or down. I have worn this on a night out already but I will also wear it to work.

The spiked loafers should actually be on their way to me as we speak. I've been waiting a long time for them but I'm pretty sure they are worth the wait.

I really liked the idea of the collar tips; it updates a shirt quickly and adds a point (get it) of interest.  

The trench coat is absolutely perfect, more leather and it is the perfect shape for Autumn. I can imagine pairing these with some knee boots or my soon to be new loafers. 

What I Wore: Holiday Edition

Sorry I left the blog for a while, but as you can tell from the title I have been on holiday. So I thought I'd update with a few snaps of outfits I wore in my week away. I am fully aware I have the same shoes on in every picture; I needed to wear flats most of the time due to the hill we had to walk down on an evening to go out.

Here are a few of the outfits I wore while I was out there, as you can tell I was thinking about keeping cool, as it was hitting thirty degrees most days.

Dress, Evil Twin

Dress (as top) and Skirt, Topshop

Dress, Cheap Monday

Have any of you been on holiday this summer?
