SS14 LONDON FASHION WEEK

My love affair with Alexander Wang began probably when i saw his  SS12 collection on the runway, i was about thirteen, i think that's what drew me in to the world of fashion. I have always loved Wang's edge. The simplicity of his pieces and the shapes he creates within his designs. To be honest i am very, very gutted i couldn't have been luckiest enough to be at fashion week (if only).. Wang's SS14 ready to wear collection is just absolutely amazing, he brought street codes, branding and Parental Advisory to the runway. The look is so tailored yet said to be "The official wedding of fashion and hip-hop", a statement which i could not agree with more! The collection has a very sharp edge which is probably what makes me love it; short short tailored skirts, mesh sweaters and pastel shades .. I really think he's hit the nail on the head yet again, not quite what SS13 was.. but still completely fabulous.

INSPIRATION / MONTHLY REVIEW / LIFE UPDATE

INSPIRATION/review

september month

Lately I've been a complete sucker for the kind of grungy 'chuck on anything' inspired look! Its pretty obvious the only way you're going to achieve this look just is not to try too hard, or to not try whatsoever! I really love the bedraggled hair that's all over catwalks at the minute, I don't know there's just something about it I find really raw and organic, its so fab! Key pieces i would pick out are Levi jeans (or look a likes). I would 100% suggest investing in some matte DR Marten eyelets, I bought some around a month ago and honestly I've worn them without fail everyday since. At first they kind of rub the backs of your heels (remember "beauty is pain") but once they've worn in they are so so worth every penny. In the future I would definitely consider buying the same style in the matte green. Another recent purchase of mine has been the Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour by Chanel, honestly one of the most gorgeous matte lipsticks I've ever picked up, its very rare I do spend quite a lot of money on lipsticks because I aren't really a lipstick kind of girl, another thing, being the product is fairly high market it is expensive and being a student I don't really have the money to spend on these kind of products so when I do it is a privilege really. Another thing, I do end up having to re-apply quite often to keep the colour rich, I don't honestly mind this but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is looking for something that stays on for more than 2/3 hours.

I will be updating this page more and more as i have a bit more time on my hands, i do have school though so its hard making time for blogging!
