Warehouse Fashion Shooters Festival

Been spending my evening online shopping and I've rediscovered a brand that I used to be an avid wearer of.. Warehouse. I've always thought of Warehouse as a place to get really great prints and they have loads of silk printed dresses scarves and kaftans currently but they are also have loads of summer brights which I got quite excited about. I'm currently working on my tan and have just bought some Xen-Tan to try out - I will let you know how that goes.

Jewel Section Plaited Cotton Bracelet - £8

Lux Pryamid Studs - £8

TEXTURED CREPE HIGH NECK MIDI - £36

Dial print maxi kaftan- £40

Round Crystal Frame Sunglasses - £16 (Definitely getting a pair of these!)

Whilst on the website I also came across the Warehouse blog and a piece on their Fashion Shooters Festival. It sounds like anyone interested in fashion, photography or blogging should be heading along. This takes place on March 22nd, next Saturday in Brick Lane.

The event is FREE and sounds like there will be lots to do Elle Magazine styling zone, DJs, a token to make your own bespoke tee and loads more.

And... as well as a nice day out, 25 lucky so-and-so's will win a load of prizes including the chance to shoot the final look for the SS14 campaign. They will be mentored by Helen Christensen who has shot the other thirteen looks. ~Incredible!

Can I have a half an' half please?

NYFW AW14 Highlights: Day 4: Custo Barcelona

Raised in the North of England if anyone was to ask if I would like half an' half I would lick my lips and assume I was about to eat half chips, half rice with a big helping of gravy on top. Yesterday I was introduced to the much more glamorous world of duality.

Custo Barcelona have long since been a favourite of mine at fashion week always offering an array of vibrant, colourful prints and patterning for the eye to devour. This collection did not disappoint with super neon brights, against blacks and camel, to really make them pop.

Although normally any bright patterning would be a highlight for me on this occasion it was not. Half way through the proceedings coats of two halves, literally, came down the runway. This could have been very poorly executed but not at all, in every instance,that was seen in this collection. Keeping half a plain black, as with the neon prints, really made the detailing of the other side of the coats pop out. Although we don't condone fur and would never purchase it we can't deny that the half fur coats look beautiful, we'll take one in faux please! The point were the two materials met was kept off centre and this really added to the design aesthetic of the pieces.

And will someone please get me a pair of those sunnies right now please!

Textures, Prints, Colours.

I am very much in love with the layered look at the moment! It makes me feel so cosy and lends itself to my love of texture.

These images are from a collection of current trends put together by The Fashion Museum, Bath (formerly the Museum of Costume).

They have mixed a grouping of clothes from different era from a 1920s floral jacket to 1980s geometric print skirt and a modern pair of shoes by Topshop.
