I am totally in love with Isabel Marants SS11 collection I am not usually a fan of candy pink but it is hardened up with black belts, chunky knits and signature slouchy boots. Everything is pure perfection and full of much inspiration for my SS wardrobe.

Summer Inspiration

I picked up a copy of the Spring H&M mag the other day and there are some real inspiring boho looks. I want the crochet shorts, agate necklace and the fringe top. I am wearing the crochet dress also from the mag more pics tomorrow of the outfit.

Create something that cant be found anywhere else

but stay true to yourself

in 2011 it's all about standing out

but with a style that is all your own

While flicking through I came across the article right at the back about individual style and found these words so inspiring at last we can all embrace our unique style put are heads up high and shout I dare to dazzle. It is well worth a read xoxo

Keep Calm

I'm a lover of all things "Keep Calm", not only do they look good, they also provide a sense of grounding when life starts to run away with you.

So remember...

Feathers

I have become a little addicted to feathers in the form of hair embellishments, necklaces and dream catchers and there is so much feather inspiration out there and what a fun accessory for summer. I will be ditching the tail and adorning my bag with a dream catcher for summer.

I love

I get so much inspiration from these two images they have been sitting on my laptop for a while now I dont even know where I got them from. They are such great transitional looks and so well styled and I love the lighting.

Summer Inspiration

This is the time of year when I start thinking about what looks I want to rock come spring especially as it is time to pick new pieces of uniform. I am really into the floaty, boho, 70's look that is around for next season and Emilio Pucci and Roberto Cavalli's S/S11 collection is totally inspiring I had to use all my self control not to upload the full collections so I have picked a few pieces from each collection check Emilio Pucci's full collection here and Roberto Cavalli's full collection here.

New Starts

The start of a new year for me means thinking about my Spring Summer wardrobe we have had a few amazing pieces come into work and I have already seen two bits I want for uniform a gorgeous print silk dress and a maxi knitted skirt. I am totally inspired by the Snake Valley collection from Topshop and this is my inspiration for S/S11 I have always been a bit of a boho girl at heart and the summer means I can really work this look. How amazing are the colours and textures well done Toppers you have done it again I know where my wages are going to go the first half of this year. Check it out for yourselves here

Belt Up

Jacket Next, Shorts ASOS, Scarf Tara Jarmon, Belt Nicole Farhi, Boots Dune

The snow has not magically disappeared I took these pictures on Monday it is still very much a wintery scene here in the south of England. I am so obsessed with the D&G collection for me it totally sums Christmas and winter up with their reindeer jumpers and festive knits who could not want to turn to them for inspiration as the temperature drops and we get closer to Christmas. I took inspiration from a very tiny detail the way they belted there scarfs.

Stefanel

A little while back I told you about Stefanel's S/S10 collection and how impressed I was with the styling and prints. Well their A/W10 collection has hit the stores and it is just as awesome as their S/S10 if not better. I have my name on the floppy brim trilby hat they have the cream one but I want black. They have the most amazing collection of knitwear which we all know is a huge hit for A/W10 especially worn chunky and oversized and they have plenty of these best styled with otk sock or tights with chunky heeled boots. You can see the full collection here

There campaign shot by Mario Testino was pretty inspiring too model Daria Werbowy looks awesome in these boho/rock chick inspired looks. I will be taking inspiration from these images they really sum up A/W10 for me.

I dont know about you but I look forward to this coming out and this issue did not let me down. There are some great features check it out for yourself here enjoy xoxo

Copy Cat

Leather Shorts Vintage, Top H&M, Blazer International, Boots Ebay, Necklace East

I was looking on the Saks website looking at the YSL jewellery and I noticed a necklace that I had an exact copy of which I brought years ago from East I quickly run up to me room and went through my boxes of jewellery I have also not not worn this necklace for years and I found it. I used for the inspiration of today's outfit. I teamed it with a tribal print.

Watching You Watching Me

Jumper Dress Day Birger, Bum Bag DIY, Boots Boo Hoo, Necklace East

It is funny where and how an inspiration for an outfit will come from I personally find a lot of inspiration from other fashion bloggers. One of my favs is Katie from Fashion Clocked and her outfit from the other day made my heart miss a beat check it out here it was so simple but really inspired me I have had this Day Birger jumper dress for a while and I turned it round the other way so the drama was at the back I would like to add that I did put a vest under it when I went out as it was way to see through. Where do you guys get your inspiration from ????

Highs & Lows

I have been a fan of the gladiator sandal for many years. I brought my first pair in 2004 and did get some rather strange looks the first time I wore them. I remember spending half my summer a few years later looking for knee high gladiators after seeing them on the Chanel runway I ended up searching the internet and eventually found a pair. Now you can find gladiators everywhere the only question now is high or low. I do prefer the knee high ones just because they are a little different and add a bit of interest to an outfit. I am also glad that still after trending for all these years they do not look dated or tired.

I have searched Spartoo website (OMG so many to choose from) to show you some of the best as you are aware I go here for all my shoes as they stock everything and take the effort out of shoe shopping.

Flat Gladiator Cream & Gold by Lollipops, Cream by Regard

Wedge Gladiators Cream by Pikolinos, Black by Pikolinos

High Gladiatos Medium by Paul & Joe Sister, Tall by Vic Matie

Heeled by Fru.it, Flat by Buffalo

So many different styles and colours I was really spoilt for choice. I love that you can get heeled gladiators now which are great for an evening look with maxi dresses or harem trousers. What style of gladiator will you be wearing this summer??

Flares Ding Dong

Jeans Gerard Darel, Top Ronit Zilkha, Shoes Spartoo, Belt Oasis (old), Bag Tesco

I have always loved the 70's as a style inspiration and there is a come back of the flare for A/W10 after several seasons of the skinny jean and trouser the flare was seen on the runways of serveral designers in the form of a kick flare cropped above the ankle seen at Issey Miyake and Rochas or the rock chick trousers that fanned out over the feet seen at Balmain don't get me wrong the skinny pant is still bang on trend but the flare is a new way to wear trousers and they also give the look of the legs going on forever. This inspired me to pull mine out and wear them. I decided to make a daisy chain I have not made one for so many years. I am wearing my second pair of new shoes from Spartoo check them out here.

Will you be wearing flares???
