I've finally had a chance to rake through some of the less mainstream collections from the AW14 shows, and Jacquemus caught my eye immediately. In an effort to remove any sense of hierarchy or superiority from his show, Simon Porte presented his fun, fresh collection for Jacquemus to a sea of essentially hospital gown-clad fashionistas, which were handed out prior to entering. This in itself was a winning factor for me, but the clothes themselves are pretty great too. Boyish, oversized shapes, with splashes of random colour and the occasional circle pattern, completed with Adidas Superstars, made for a refreshingly light hearted collection. Definite inspiration for AW14 there.

 

 

 

 



JADED

Images from Tumblr

Apologies for the slight break away from the blog. I came down with the dreaded winter flu, despite the fact that it seemingly coincided with the first signs of spring. Anyway, I'm back and will leave you this evening with some images I found whilst propped up in bed with some Lemsip...

SCUBA

 Top - Missguided, Skirt - H&M

I'm totally obsessed with scuba everything right now, and this little cropped number is among my favourites. The fabric is super light and sits perfectly every time I put it on - it's a seriously well-behaved piece of clothing. I actually brought it a size up for that added over-sized appeal. Plus it balances out my teeny tiny skirt...

LATE NIGHT

Apparently late at night is when I get my best inspiration...its just a shame I need to be up for work in a few hours #helpmecaffeine.

SIMPLICITY NAILED

Images  sourced from tumblr and pinterest

I  really struggle with what to do with my nails. As you might be able to tell, I am in no way girly or frivolous style-wise, yet when I trawl through tumblr and pinterest for inspiration, I get lost in a sea of shouty designs, nail stickers and glitter. And whilst I appreciate the effort gone into the designs, it ain't me. I feel overdressed with anything other than simple block colour on my nails, but equally would like to experiment, even in some tiny way. Which is probably why I fell in love with these designs. Simple and modern, they are kind of like the anti-manicure and I love them. Any more ideas are totally welcome.

LATE NIGHT INSPIRATION

Images from tumblr

I've had a busy couple of days and as a result, very little time for blogging, but tomorrow I will be back on form. In the mean time, here are just a few of the images inspiring me from my tumblr. Have a real thing for well-timed colour at the moment, and it's serving as inspiration for the outfit posts I'm in the process of photographing...watch this space.

TUMBLING

All images from Tumblr

Tumblr is my vice and go-to for procrastination. I waste away hours image hunting, hours which should be doing my dissertation. If any of you guys are hung up on monochrome and clean lines, with only the tiniest hint of colour, then come join me here.
