looks like lace but its not, the Galloping Horse Print Top.

Spring Summer 2011 Tassels?

Whilst the spring/summer 2011 collections are already in full swing, NY Fashion Week already over!!! I thought post about a detail I've been keeping my eye on lately, Tassels. Will they or won't they be a trend next summer? I suppose we'll soon see. I'm sure, like me, a lot of you like to browse blogs and I came across some great images of tassels at they're best...

They're a great way of adding interest and a bit of glamour to a basic item. Images here from the cherry blossom girl, Zara and Tommy ton shows these details off beautifully. I particularly love the colour combination of the last image.

 Julian Louie's Spring Summer 2011 collection displayed them as accessories and adorned to garments. A very small but beautifully constructed collection with tassels as a complement.

Perhaps handicrafts will make a return next year, I'll definitely be looking out for some.

Its Live

Here it is people H&M is Live, shop online to your hearts delight. I'm particularly excited that we now get to shop the home section! I have some friends in the land of Fin, who have ordered me some great bedding from there in the past so I am thrilled we now have this option.

Shop away fashion friends

So pretty... so sleek...

 exactly the words I'd use to describe any Stella McCartney collections....

 and also Thandie Newton, who's style I love.

Especially when she's wearing Stella!!! A stella look for sure.


I've always loved lace having said that I don't own very much that's lacy however I have always wanted a scalloped hem lace skirt.

Carrie Bradshaw wore a beautiful one in Sex and The City The Movie lined with a deep purple, Geraldine Saglio of French Vogue wore a beautiful version, Balmain maybe? Or this 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt another designer favourite of mine. I do hope the high street comes up with one soon for me.

I can't wait to see what the new fashion season will bring, which kicked off this week in New York. The spring 2010 have started. Bring on Fashion Week.

This is just too much...

I know fashion and e-commerce have proved to be big business, but the latest is too much excitement for the past two weeks....

H&M online!!! First Zara last week and come September 16th we (UK) will now be able to shop H&M online, something that's been available in Europe for a while which I would always peruse. Now almost all my favourite shops will be available online! I now don't have to leave the house to browse my favourite high street collections. The high street is really becoming a force to be reckoned with, even when its not on the high street!!!

Get The Look

As you know I love a bit of leopard print, so I thought I'd quickly blog.... I came across this image of Alexa and I had already hearted this dress on Shopbop...go get the look

AKA New York Cocoon Dress

Sale of the day

  Vintage fashions and styling always remains a massive influence in the fashion world be it inspiration from old photographs, films, music or a combination of them all. Every season shapes and styles from years gone past are regurgitated and reinterpreted. None more so than the tea dress, a classic day wear item for a women's wardrobe restyled by the likes of Marc Jacobs, Luella and Mui Mui.

There are a fair few avid followers of all things vintage, how successful was Vintage at Goodwood this year? Where ever it is you take your inspiration from, be it the catwalk, movies, the bygone era or fellow fashionistas here's my recommendation...

H&M Vintage style tea dress

get it here

Tea dresses are so great and versatile when trying to get that vintage edge to your style, wear on their own with clogs, sandals or brogues. Or like fellow blogger from Liebemarlene Vintage; socks and clogs, retro sunnies and a smile ;-)

or wear them layered up for winter. Sienna and Keira in the Edge of Love wore with chunky knit cardies, wellies, or layer up with fine knits as seen here.

Which ever way, tea dresses are here to stay, whatever the weather!
