Night out

I wore this out with friends a couple of weeks ago in London.

The only unusual thing about this look for me is that on nights out, I'm usually in skimpier clothing. I've found myself wearing more conservative stuff as of late. Might it have something to do with being 20 soon? Perhaps. You know the saying; A fool at 40 20 is a fool forever. 

Saying this, I'll probably be back in my underwear on nights out come summer...

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

Party Collection

Hey peeps!! Just a warning..... This post is heavily loaded with pictures! The Virgoslounge Party collection is out tomorrow and I'm sure we all can't wait. This is the first and official release of the full collection. 

Of course the staple aesthetic of opulence, richness and sick embroidery has been kept, but there is a more adventurous side these pieces in comparison to the others. After all, it is the party season; what better a time than now to be frivolous with our fashion choices? Don't be the party pooper who goes out partying in jeans because you think its cool. A Virgoslounge dress is way cooler.

 The peach dress up there is my favourite as the colour is so gentle and sweet but the style and embroidery makes it wayyyyy too hot for any more words. The contrast with the clutch sure doesn't hurt the eyes. It's the perfect outfit!

I wore this jacket a couple of months ago to the first day of fashion week. See here

There are about 30 pieces after the jump so.

Strada Menu launch

Last thursday I had the pleasure of attending the launch of the new and gorgeous Strada menu at their More street branch with the wonderful view of the London Bridge. 

With that landmark being my favourite place in the world, and food being the most important thing to me, I had never been happier.

I could tell from the taste that all the dishes I had were made from the finest ingredients. Many of which were transported from the dishes region of origin. The freshest and greenest olives imported freshly from Sicily, breads flavoured cheeses and meats from the depths of Italy . I can't gush enough, but it really takes you through an extraordinary culinary journey through Italy. One thing I love the most about eating out is experiencing other cultures and Strada certainly enables one to enjoy this experience to the maximum.

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
