Who doesn't love brogues, peter pan collars, tailored shorts and satchels? I'm certainly a massive fan of brogues, I own far too many it's getting a little bit ridiculous. Mulberry, the revival of the satchel have taken storm, and added a feminine twist with pink leopard prints. Not to mention them being named after style icon Alexa Chung, the queen of boy-meets-girl style who embraces the trend beautifully. Labels: Alexa Chung, Marc Jacobs, Masculine, Topshop, Trend
The best place to look for shirts and blazers is in charity shops at vintage fairs. You can pick up old mens shirts which are quite vile, but mixed with a nice belt and some red lipstick, for about £5, just like the shirt below in one of my old posts.What do you think of the masculine trend? Do or don't?
Labels: Colour Palette, Pastel, S/S11, TrendIt's March.. Hurrah! Which means, spring has just about sprung. Which means summer is on it's way.. meaning S/S collections to drool over. With collections this summer focusing mainly on the palette of tangerines and flamingo pinks, we can ease in with yummy minty green, and ultra-feminie parma-violet shades. From Fendi to Stella McCartney, pastels are everywhere (it's not a bad thing).(Image from LOOK)
Here are a few of my favourite items within the palette;(If you want to know where anythings from let me know, i didn't put the links on because they're are about 1000!)
