#Nonoise please

Shopping is a bitter sweet experience for its ability to fulfil the desires of our ever hungry human nature EVERYTIME, but with the hustling and bustling, I'm sure some of us think some times it's not worth it. This is probably why seating in bed all day with a tub or 2 of ice cream on Asos.com  has become perfectly normal.

Although it's mostly sweet, I very rarely enjoy shopping because of the stress. I prefer to pass by the odd shop on my way to get something important; say some McDonalds fries or a Starbucks. The brilliant #NoNoise concept being launched at Selfridges tomorrow embodies everything perfect shopping could ever hope to be; No Noise, No mind messing, No rowdiness, No confusion. Everything is bare, simple and creates this almost nostalgic atmosphere that allows some peace and tranquility. 

I promise I'm not over exaggerating with these overly descriptive words. This morning at the press launch, we had a meditating  room.

Lets talk mens wear

As the London Mens Collections grace themselves upon us I can't help but share what my 3 favourite trends are as the new season has officially started. As underrated as it is, there is something about men's fashion that intrigues me. I'm sure you've all noticed that a lot of trends we girls wear are inspired by males with the whole androgyny thing we've got going on, but what a lot of us fail to notice is that this works both ways.

Take coloured suits for example.

One of the strongest trends to come off both the menswear and womenswear catwalks, the coloured suit is a wardrobe must for spring. Reds and rusts like those seen at Paul Smith will make sure you stand out from the sartorial crowd or go for softer pastel shades for the perfect summer look. We all love a man in soft colours.

The honest truth is that I would wear these outfits above if I could have them tailored to by body shape and size. Rihanna did just that in this Acne ensemble as you can see below. Prints, androgyny, effortless cool, she's got it all sorted with this look.

Talking about stripes, let's discuss.....

Forget about the nautical kind, stripes take on a whole new, modern feel for spring summer 2013. Working or weekend chilling, go bold and clashing as at Marc by Marc Jacobs or subtle and smart as inspired by Ralph Lauren.

Print attack

From graphic to digital to optical, you can’t get away from prints this spring. An easy segue into new season style, make like

Vivienne Westwood and wear it head to toe or follow Alexander McQueen’s lead and go for a printed bomber – simultaneously nailing two trends in one. We should learn to kill 2 or 3 birds with one stone when the opportunity presents itself and the print attack allows us to do just that.

From full-on prints to a fresh take on stripes, fashion this season leaves no room for the timid. Prepare to be brave with my pick of three key trends for spring summer 2013.

Don't we all love a little bit of manspiration.

Love,

Me

Black and Leather.....

Black and Leather...... These 2 in any combined state give what I like to call an effortless chic. 

I'm sure we all know that black is pretty much the easiest colour to wear. It goes with everything, doesn't get stained easily and conceals parts of the body we don't want to be visible. Ladies ;) Some might consider it a bit of a sneaky cheat but who doesn't like an easy way out? Christmas is near and we all know what that means.....

It's very easy to find yourself having way too many black items in your wardrobe, but if you don't have a black above the knee skirt, then you really need one.

I love this Ann Demeulemeester skirt because It's not too clingy nor loose and also not too short nor long. That Zip detail at the front which actually opens up just gives it an extra edge that makes it even harder to say no. It's perfectly effortless.

This is pretty much the coolest bag I've seen in a while. I've never been one to buy logo infested or overly extravagant bags so you can imagine my excitement when i saw this.  Its not got too much going on it has the softest leather and I can literally shove my whole life in it all at once.
SCORE! Join the Wang gang

Finding a dress to wear in the winter is probably the hardest thing one anyone's to do list, but with  an extremely cozy and knitted top half and a bottom half made of good old leather, I think its safe to  say that the search can come to an end. Diane Von Furstenberg is a life saver for this one.

Ill be doing more high street based but also cool, black, effortless and chic picks tomorrow so stay tuned.

Sky Blue

Not a lot of colours suit me thanks to my weird and confused skintone; not quite dark or light. So , I'm just going to come out and say it, sky blue happens to make me look bearable and so do a couple of hues and tones of blues and greens. 

I seriously hate these pictures where It looks like I'm looking at something genuinely interesting. I was probably looking at a bird taking a dump or something along those lines. To be quite honest, that is quite interesting and might warrant such an intrigued face. 

Love,

Me

Dulux Summer 2013 Trend Event launch the Collective Passion trend

Dulux had an event in partnership with the The Apartment launching their Collective passion collection which was filled with vibrant, bright and positively blinding colours. It gets better... There were clothes to pick from, champagne, food, makeup artists, nail technicians and one massive fun photoshoot in one massive chic apartment (only because of dulux products of course)  looking over London. 

The first thing that comes to mind when you think about colour trends isn't wall paints and home decor, and the first thing that comes to mind when you think about home decor isn't fashion bloggers having a photo shoot. It's probably because Iv'e been in this little fashion clothing bubble and I sometimes forget that fashion is everything so it all seems to work. “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening”. Coco Chanel

I'm a very visual person and Its all about the colour for me. A bit childish some may say, but thats what truly brings life to everything in this complicated world we live in. 

The vibrance of these settings personally made me extremely excited. Imagine how happy we all will be if our living rooms were eclectic yellows or our bedrooms were a nice bright orange. 

The world will certainly be a better place
