MERMAIDS !!!!

When I was a little child I was OBSESSED with mermaids!! You would often find me wrapping my legs in fabric and rolling round the house like a fish out of water! My idol was Ariel from The Little Mermaid! I am very excited to say that my favourite trend of this season is MERMAIDS!!! Pearls, Coral, Metallics, Sequins, Flowing fabrics and shiny plastics have all strutted down the catwalk. I think this is why I LOVE fashion so much, I can re-live my childhood dreams :)

Getting ready for Summer!

IT HAS SNOWED !


Even though I usually like snow, it's a bit annoying. I have just got back into the college routine and I have got interviews and work experience, then all this snow is dumped on us making it feel like Christmas. IT'S NOT CHRISTMAS ANYMORE !!! I WANT SUN !

It is freezing outside so I have been looking at these lovely designers who like summer and Hawaiian shirts and colour and frills! NOT SNOW!

Ok, I know there is a lot of black there, so it is not all colour, but I love the Hawaiian style influences!

Maarten Van Der Horst is the king of Hawaiian shirts however...




Susie Lau - Susie Bubble - Style Bubble.com is a fan...


Maarten Van Der Horst has a window at Selfridges for bright Young Things as one of England's top new designers...

Christopher Kane is a GOD !!!!

I just read this on StyleBubble - http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2012/02/theres-something-shiny-in-here-.html I had seen this collection in lots of magazines but until now I have never seen it upclose. I knew Christopher Kane's ss 2012 collection was beautiful, but since seeing it in close detail I can't stop thinking about how stunning it is !!! It brings alot of good childhood memories back to me: collecting stickers, putting flowers in the flower press, wearing comfy, squidgy sandals to the beach :) Nostalgia and optimism are (in my opinion) the themes behind this collection (hence all the good memories). It takes an amazing designer to make 17 year olds want to frolic in the fields collecting flowers!...





I would actually jump off a cliff for this shirt...
