Let's Get Wild!!

RAWR!

Now that I've got your attention.

This season expect to see any glamorous and fashion-conscious lady prowling in what Vogue has stated as "Afrocentric" style. That means vibrant geometric, sharp patterns, ethnic, eccentric, edgey jewellery and the most gorgeous skins around!

L-R- Holly Fulton, Just Cavallli, Roberto Cavalli, Roberto Cavalli. Below images from ASOS and River Island. None of these images belong to me :)


I love this look especially Roberto Cavalli's blazer and waistcoat. I've also selected some things from the high street that certainly reflect the Afrocentric look. I am really liking the animal print Kaftan from ASOS with the fringing, very on trend! and this skater skirt from River Island will cinch in at your waist which is perfect considering this S/S12 is all about the figure-shaping design!

Also on the afrocentric agenda is the safari look. If you're not being the hunted you are the hunter as you can see from these awesome items I've picked out!

L-R- Loewe, Just Cavalli, Michael Kors, Laurel. These images do not belong to me! =]

In contrast with the wild patterns and designs that make up the Afrocentric trend, the clean lines and neutral colours of the safari theme are just as fab. I am loving this shirt dress from www.riverisland.com and this fedora hat from www.topshop.com. I will definitely be purchasing these items. Also this jacket from www.marksandspencer.com I think really has an authentic outdoors African safari feel to it.

So whether you want to be hunted or be the hunter this season, there's a look for everyone!

Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday I was taking a break and I'm heading out tonight with the girls so I'll hopefully have another post up tomorrow. 

Until then my fashion lovers!!

Picture Yourself in Prada!

Hi everyone!! Just a quick little note on something. I'm currently working on two more posts but this lil one is about a current thing so just posting it now.

Some fun going on at Facebook!? If you head to Prada's page and like it, you'll see they're doing this super cool thing called 24 Hour Museum. You upload a picture of yourself and it gets featured on the website. Pretty cool, eh? Plus you can edit it with pretty frames and these funky looking dramatic "tears" lol.
This is my portrait. How about go check it out and post me your portraits!?

Anyway, must keep on working on these other posts.
Bye for now! xo

Blazer Party!

Hiya! So I posted a little while back about finding some nice stuff up in my attic. One cute little navy blazer and this mad looking bright red blazer. When I found it first I thought it was very Lady Gaga, I don't know why. I've teamed it just with some shorts and a white tee although I imagine Gaga wearing it with very little else, the crazy woman! Genius though she is haha! The navy blazer is intended for any future interviews I have although I may be wearing it more than that because I just adore the mid length sleeves. I found some other things but it was late in the day so the lighting wasn't great. Found an amazing fur coat, very old but the photos didn't come out right except for the one with the little brooch on it. I'll see if I can get some more another day.

The red blazer I think will be great for the summer; it's very light and the bright colour is tying in with the candy colours that's trending this S/S12. Also I may be wearing out either with some nice skinny jeans or a little party dress. It's a little oversized, (my mum was never that size?! lol) but I think that lends a little charm to the item.

The navy blazer is set against a gorgeous pale pink silky-feely chiffon shirt my Mum (of all people!) bought in River Island last summer I think. It's a beautiful pale dusty pink but I think it is going to look great this summer with all these lovely pastel colours that will be in fashion! I just tucked the front part of my shirt in cause I think it makes it look neat yet gives a real edgy class. Plus this sorta thing was very popular from looking at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week that happened quite recently in Berlin. If you're trying out an outfit maybe give this look a whirl and let me know how you get on! =]

I don't know if I could wear this coat, certainly more for winter time and it is VERY old. I believe it belonged to a woman that raised my Dad which means it's like 50 years old? maybe older. The brooch is gorgeous so I'll definitely have to find some way of incorporating this into my clothes this spring/summer. Again, please pardon the shoddy photos!

Currently, I am listening to Hearts On Fire by Cut Copy. Love the video, very electro-funk/pop-indie haha
