Marchesa

Marchesa was established in 2004 by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig and from then on the designs have been extremely popular in the celebrity world, with luxurious gowns for the red-carpet to beautiful cocktail dresses.

Their new 2012 'Resort Collection' is amazing! There isn't as much glitz and sparkle as there is in some of their previous collections but the designs are still very sleek and elegant. Lots of the dresses are nipped in at the waist showing off the figure. Lots of bright colours and some animals print has been used to make the collection more fun and girlie.

Here are some of my Favourites...

"We're women designing for women. We know how they feel in a beautiful dress. That's our focus right now.”

Pastels

Pastel colours are the new must have for next season. With lots of baby blue's, mint greens, pale pinks and daffodil yellows this trend is a lot softer and calmer than last seasons bright prints. They work really well when layered with other different pastel colours. This is a very girly look, its extremely sweet and pretty and I absolutely love it!

Here are a few of my favourite pieces from fashion weeks spring collections.

Pastels are all over the high-street too!

All I want for Christmas.

Its christmas so soon and i am so excited! My mum told me to give her a list of what I wanted! I think I took it a bit too far with the amount that I wanted so I'll just show you my 2 favourite items on my christmas wish list.

1. These leopard print pumps are from urban outfitters and they are £38. Its probably more than I would usually pay for a pair of pumps but I just think they are soo cute, and it is christmas after all.

2. I love this Tartan cape, its from ASOS and its only £18.50 which is pretty good. It goes would go well with some jeans and a plain top with some cute accessories.

Aztec and Tribal Trends

Over the past few months I have seen loads of aztec and tribal prints and designs and I love it! From dresses to leggings and accessories, the trend is everywhere. The bright patterns are fun and can really add to an outfit and the more subtle prints create a rustic kind-of look. 

Here are some of my favourite accessories that I found on the Urban Outfitters website. I really, really want the gold ring with the blue stone at the bottom although its a little bit more expensive than the other ones at £95.

Love these tribal Burberry beaded heels!

Pretty Things

I love jewellery and pretty little things and I've seen so many things I want recently.  

I came across www.zarataylor.co.uk when I was trying to find the 'love heart- peace' earrings that Millie Macintosh wore in 'Made in Chelsea.' I wanted them for so long and now I have finally found them, hopefully someone lovely will buy me them for christmas. They are only £12.99 so they're not too expensive!

Here are some other pieces by Zara Taylor that I really like.

Another place I love to buy jewellery from is Junk Jewels which i discovered at the clothes show in Birmingham last year. Their cute, vintage style necklaces, bracelets and earring look special but they are all reasonably cheap.

Photo shoot

Here are the photos from my groups photo shoot we did for our years fashion magazine at uni. We chose the Tribal theme as it is very on trend this season and we found the perfect location. It was shot at Burn O' Vat which is just outside aberdeen. The location fitted the theme really well and in we were all extremely pleased with the final photos. The pictures were then edited and put together to make a fashion spread for the magazine.


Here are some of the photos before they have been edited. 

Alexa Chung/ Vero Moda

Alexa Chung has recently become the face of Vero Moda's Autumn/Winter collection which will be coming to UK stores in December and I'm very excited. Having Alexa as the face of the campaign is definitely going to increase the brands status and popularity as she is such a style icon! She's always at the top of the best dressed lists and her individual, quirky, girlie persona fits in perfectly with the brands image. The collection combines lots of delicate, feminine fabrics with cute details using sequins, buttons and ribbon. Personally I think this collection is set to be a winner!
