Kate Bosworth for Topshop 24/10/13

 

 

Aptly named 'The Collection; Starring Kate Bosworth', this capsule wardrobe is said to be

 'cool'

and

'effortless'

 

Me personally....I CANNOT WAIT to see what comes through into the high street store

(hopefully available to me in Manchester!)

 

I'm imagining a really clean silhouette, boyish cuts in ethereal pale tones, and stark black with lots of texture. Lets hope the price tag isn't too racy as well!

Sunny Manchester

Neon 100% Cashmere Scarf: H&M Trend

 

Summer is officially over ... CRYYYYYYY

 

I usually quite love autumn, but Manchester always challenges you with the worst gail force winds and torrential rains in the country!!! Also, having had a year in London, which is always a few degrees warmer all year round has meant my body is not used to this FReezing climate!

 

My wardrobe is also suffering as I climatise back to the north, so get ready to see lots of layering in my OOTD and wrapping myself in a scarf non-stop!

 

I apologise for the 'randomness' of this post at the moment I am doing ANYTHING to distract myself from University Work.............

 

Speak Soon

My Year in London

Hi there!

As I have returned to university after working for a year in London I thought I would get back into the swing of things and start blogging again :)
From September 2012 - September 2013 I worked as a Showroom Assistant in Burberry Head Office and learnt a hell of a lot! I will describe my job role more clearly in a different post but I thought I would just share with you a few of my experiences in London!
Fingers crossed ill be there as soon as I've graduated...

 

As the Burberry Head Office was located in Westminster...everyday I got to walk past these beautiful buildings, however the tourists were a nightmare!

 

 

The DAMAGE I made in the Burberry sample sale...I promise these were all Christmas presents for my family...

 

 

The AMAZING Burberry Christmas party where I won tickets to the AW13 Mens and Womenswear shows! You can see my excitement!

 

 

 

The tickets and show for the Burberry Prorsum Menswear show in Milan, such a gorgeous city and I would love to return one day.

A friend of mine took me to go see Frank Ocean at Brixton Academy, he was incredible and I'm honestly his biggest fan!

Maison Martin Margiela's H&M Collection

 Candy Wrapper Clutch - £34.99 Maison Martin Margiela for H&M

The trend for collaborations has never been so popular these days with collections from JW Anderson in Topshop, and Anna Della Russo for H&M, just to name a few. 

I personally love checking out all these collections as they are both limited and extra special (especially when they are a discounted price from the designers originals!)

The avant-guarde fashion house's signature style is represented amazingly in the pieces, with womenswear looks being generally oversized, loose-fitting and beautifully draped. An oriental and origami theme can also be seen from the Belgian fashion house throughout. All the pieces I feel can slot into any womans wardrobe and instantly make it more chic and classic looking (thats what Im hoping for my wardrobe anyways!!!)

Heres a few of the looks Im lusting over...

Black Double Breasted Blazer - £59.99

Oversized Turtle Neck Jumper - £79.99

 

 Black Peacoat - £179.99

Brown Tote with Folded Base - £99.99

The collection arrives with us on November 15th, get ready!

do i???

(My hair last summer...)

Do I bring back the pink?!

The Artist - Mark Bridges

Okay...so this is not a usual blogging subject but I feel that it needs to be addressed!
I recently saw 'The Artist' which if those of you who have been living on a different planet, is the first silent film to have done so well since Schindlers List, having won five Academy Awards, seven BAFTAS, three Golden Globes, i could go on!!!

The film is based around Hollywood in the 1920s and 30s and follows a silent movie actor who struggles to cope with the rise of  'talkies', movies with speech.
Honestly, I was abit weary at first thinking that I would get restless and the film would get slightly monotone but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The story is so heart warming and one of the things that really caught my eye was the way the actors were styled (being a fashion student!).
I researched it and the costume designer was Mark Bridges who is also known for working on films such as Blow and The Fighter.

With film being black and white, it looks as if Mark Bridges really tried to focus on texture to make the clothes look glamorous and interesting.

 My favorite look would be with the hats!

GO SEE IT NOWWWWW!!!:)
