Peter Pilotto Vs Karen Millen

Peter Pilotto has been seen everywhere on celebrities this season, his unique and beautiful prints or intensly beautiful and wearable. I'm pretty sure that most high streets will have taken some sort of inspiration from his collection with reference of print and structure, just take a look a Karen Millens.

Erdem Vs Whistles

A classic floral dress is always lovely for the summer, and they're consistanly shown on the s/s catwalk no matter what. Van Gogh like paintings of flowers were seen on a few collection such as Rodarte and Erdem and this lovely little number I found was colourful and not overly girly. Now it's not exactly the same but it was obvious Whistles took inspiration from the Erdem collection to create an all round commercial piece, however equally delightful.

I love paisley!

Paisley as a beautiful eccentric pattern has been around for decades and decades and it's been seen all over the catwalk for this season. I have forever been a fan and so it's nice to see it's coming into the light this summer. Actually i'm pretty darn excited, it thrills me seeing this amount of intricate pattern and detail in flourishes of wild colours of pinks and blues. For me it goes with absolutely everything. Some may find it a tough piece to wear if you like to play it on the sensible side but give it a go. I already have several dresses, shirts, waistcoats, tights and more covered in the print. If you're looking for a fabulous piece or two go ahead and read some more. I'm telling you now, invest!


 From left to right: Etro, Stella McCartney, Jill Sander and J.W.Anderson

My tips: Not many high street stores have this pattern in store yet, so head to vintage stores and charity shops, you'll find much better buys at a smaller price. However I'll asure you in a month or so's time this print will be everywhere on the high street.
Also be careful there are alot of monstrous designs out there, we like the bohemian look, but don't go trampy hippy on me.
And no no to head to toe.

Pyjama Party

With slippers being in, whether studded, suede or your classic moccasins, pyjamas are now all the new trend. Being comfy in you're clothes is at a all time high and looking fabulous at the same time. I absolutely love it, however I need to find the right set before venturing out.


 From left to right: Stella Mc Cartney, Jonathon Saunders, The Row and J.W. Anderson

 From left to right: Louis Vuitton, Tommy Hillfiger, Richard Nicoll and No 21.



There is definitely a 1930's effortless glamour to this look although this trend is very risky with exposure to VPL and baggyness making it either unflattering or if you're lucky enough, it will swing stylishly off your hips, will you be taking a chance?  Make it silky or cotton, polka dot or check just make sure you have the right underwear. If you're not ready to take the plunge go for a silk shirt with some tailored trousers.
Lets try and attempt to look as chic as Audrey Tatou in Coco Before Chanel.


Get the look:


Slouchy trousers and shirts in one size up please.
