Tis the season to go..Black n White!

Following on from the SS trend of monochrome I wanted to share my love for black and white photography. The emotion, the emphasis and the power that a black and white picture holds is gripping. Although I'm not really into taking photos myself, photography is something that I enjoy looking through and it provides me with tonnes of inspiration!








 
*All photos taken from Tumblr and Vogue.

One day I would like to take up photography as a hobby, but for now, I will go on enjoying from the side seat :)

Kate Mid's looked absolutely amazing on her big day! Her dress suited her down to the ground, the lace, the sophistication, the shape and the beautiful train! Amazing work by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen!


I hope I'm not the only one with this crazy obsession. Again, leave your links below, finding some great blogs recently :D

By the way visit my latest post on The Editeur on last nights Oscar ceremony.

I was bored so I took a photo...

I've never done a post like this, but yet they are my favourite kind of posts to read myself. I guess It's probably because I never have the time to take pictures but here goes.. :D

This outfit is pretty casual, I was just off out for a meal with a friend and got ready a little too early hence the boredom.





Shirt - ZARA
Leather look trousers - Dorothy Perkins
Shoes - New Look
Handbag - H&M
 
Not going to lie, over the last month I have pretty much lived in these trousers! They're so efficient though, they go with any outfit and are so easy to just chuck on when you don't know what to wear.
 
The shoes were a right bargain at £12.00 or something amazing from New Look. I have a fetish for heels from New Look, they're always such good value for money!
 
I think I'm going to do more posts like this, let me know what you think, I love reading your comments and make sure you leave your site too as I love following new people :)

Three shades of LFW SS 13.

The Editeur Competition.
www.the-editeur.com

As LFW AW 13/14 is approaching (exciting times) I have decided to enter this competition to win tickets, to some of the shows (unlikely as it may be, I have every finger and toe crossed).

Looking back at SS 13 the shows still excite me as right now I'm looking out of my window to whiteness..yes more snow!!:( Hurry up summer...

Nicole Farhi




 
 

 Nicole Farhi's collection was subtle and interesting combining stone colour pallets with soft pleats, quite traditional in style. the fabrics on each garment are light and flowing, translating an airy feeling perfect for a summer affair. Overall the collection screamed elegance.
 
 
 
Issa
  
 



Issa's collections for me, are always an exciting part of LFW. The 70's style oozes glam fun. From maxis to wrap dresses this years collection used the staple bright colours to convey the meaning of summer to us all. Prints live on this year from floral detailing to rather unique themed prints again all presenting bright electric colours!

Moschino Cheap and Chic




This collection was vibrant and rather crazy - in a good way! The mix match of block colours, it would brighten up any ones day. The collection featured Flares, skirts, shorts, crops and wedge style shoes... back to the 60s? For me this collection is what summer is all about, a reflection of summer itself!

Paul Smith

 
Tailoring with a sporty edge, Paul Smith's SS13 collection was of classic feminine beauty. Coral silk blouses, Burgundy blazers and paper bag chinos all glided down the catwalk. Minimalistic seems to be a key factor with this collection, simple silhouettes with little embellishment nor accessories.




Visit The Editeaur !! I have recently started blogging for them too which is very exciting! :D

GOOD LUCK TO ME! :)

Why pay more?

I'm guilty. I'm totally addicted to eBay.


 
 
 
The best online shopping website is 100% eBay. You can everything from a cardboard box to a throne for you dog!
 
 
The prices of the above items say it all! Why would you want to pay a fortune for fashion must haves? Like the celebrity style shopping tote bag, yesterday I went into Solihull for a shopping spree (not that I got much) and came across an almost identical handbag similar to this one in River Island and Next for prices between £75.00 - £80.00.
 
So the message to all is.....CHECK eBay FIRST!
