A very brief summary of the clothes in the film that everyone's talking about... without spoilers...yay!!!!

I saw the Great Gatsby at the weekend and it was as fabulous as I had imagined , with dreamy clothes adorned with diamonds, amazing actors , and not forgetting the enticing plot - I think it to be one of the best films of the year!I'm not about to ruin it for everyone so THIS POST DOES NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS  because I'm a sensitive person.Instead , I thought that I would just talk about some of the clothes.

Whilst watching , I recognised one of the dresses in a party scene , it reminded me of that very distinctive Prada campaign.I found out that Miuccia Prada adapted 40 dresses from the Prada and Miu Miu archives for the film!

 I drew arrows so that you could see it clearly , you're welcome:

It's no only the clothes that are dazzling,so are the diamonds - all designed by the almighty Gods/Goddesses of jewellery , Tiffany & Co.

I've decided not to go into too much detail about the costumes as it will simply spoil the film if you haven't seen it , part of the attraction of the film is the clothing. Go see it now , I promise , you'll enjoy it!

 Also , I've written another article for The Muse TV , I wrote about Tavi :one of my all time favourite bloggers and bggest role models: http://www.themuse.tv/2013/05/in-the-spotlight-tavi-gevinsons-all-grown-up/

60's Girls RULE!

Recently , I've been listening to a lot of 60's music , some of my favourites are The Ronettes , Dusty Springfield , The Supremes and Aretha Franklin.

With their beehives and thick swept eye-liner , The Ronettes , were the coolest girl band around - ultra mini skirts and hair stacked as high as far as the eye can see ; if anyone was considered rebellious it was these girls.I really think that this band is under celebrated for it's awesome style- I've compiled some picture to give you a glimpse of their iconic and ground breaking look.

On a completely unrelated note , have you seen Jennifer Lawrence's photo bomb at the met gala?I came across it on Rookie and it's hilarious:

Spring/Summer vibes

Freshly mown grass , blossoming flowers, that warm summers breeze:this could only mean one thing- an end to the long cold winter.Spring is finally here and summer just around the corner, it's easy to see that some people are a little over eager to get out there flip flops and flower crowns but you cannot help but feel the spring and summer vibes. Here are some of my favourite of S/S campaigns , beautiful photographs and things in general that make me think of this time of year. ( I don't own any of these photographs : full credit to owners)

Don't forget to check out The Muse TV - a totes amaze fashion site of which I am lucky enough to write for!

Shout!

So if  you read Shout Mag then you might have noticed me in the shout's most stylish section ; they took my picture after the Eugene Lin show and it was so nice that they put me in their magazine! 

  I have some more exciting news - I'm now writing for The Muse TV , my first article about Cara Delevingne  is now published! Yay! Here's the link : http://www.themuse.tv/2013/04/in-the-spotlight-who-is-the-real-cara-delevigne/

Seeing the sun has begun to come out from behind the clouds , here's some music to put a spring in your step!

Cara&Jourdan

The world of modelling is often perceived as a bunch of back stabbing , attention seeking women who are willing to climb over any one of her fellow models for a chance at the top.

But the friendship between Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn proves that they're not all fame seeking maniacs , although some models blatantly are , but anyway I think that it's really cool that these two amazing models are friends!

This all sounds so sappy and cutesy and I guess it kind of is, but they are both fabulous models bursting with personality unlike some of those emotionless drones you see ( yeah , I went there)

They also did a Harlem Shake, with another model, Rosie Tapner :

In the quiet calm of winter woodland landscapes

I know that has literally been months since fashion week , but I still haven't written about the Maria Grachvogel show ; not for any real reason,other than being (sort of) busy, but now I have, so there! 

With sleek designs, botanical prints and pops of bright colour ,Maria Grachvogel's A/W13 collection was a very commercial show which featured a lot of very well made designs.Some pieces I really loved and thought were wonderfully unique but others I felt lacked a certain bit of pazazz ( if that's a word)  

Mustard is such a beautiful colour , I think it really pops on the runway , the extended shoulders of this garment gave me a sort of 80's vibe. I've just noticed that a woman at the side is also sporting bright yellow and now when  look at this picture all I can see is the woman with that jacket!

These almost rust red and murky blue dresses let me down a little , purely because of how safe they were.Maria has previously put out far more daring collections than this.

Another thing that I loved about this show was the shoes! There is just something about those sky high red , cream or black wedges that I simply adored - shoes by Atalanta Weller for Maria Grachvogel , London.

 These next two dresses are so delightful and silky - they're just so princessy - and I LOVE that!

This collection was inspired by "the quiet calm of winter woodland landscapes" and you can see that the most through the picture below ; the tree branches on this photographic print are emphasised onto this loose satiny fabric.

The whole show oozed luxury , but it's highlighted on this final piece : as subtle accents of gold catch the bright light of the runway.

I think that the Juno soundtrack is really amazing and have literally been listening to it none stop all week  , I've only attached some of my fave songs but there are a few more ( they're really easy to find) :
