Space Cowboy

A little Monday afternoon pick me up and dream wish list on this miserable day! I'm working on Net-a-Porter's trend presentation for F/W at the moment and am loving the Futuristic trend seen at Proenza, Wang and Hakaan.  The above is my little twist on the trend.  By adding the A-mazing cowboy boots from Isabel Marant's new collection the outfit is less 'Beam me up Scotty' and more urban and wearable - I'm not about to go out in a mirrored visor or crystal embellished eyebrows a la Chanel!  To keep it cool and laid back go for metallics with the crinkle effect leather like this Acne clutch, then the look doesn't become too shiny and new but more relaxed and edgy (just a little tip!)

Red

So I've told you all before that I'm not really a dress person!  But last night I had the opportunity to glam up for my friend's engagement party and I thought - why not?!  And thought I'd share my outfit choice with you lovely lot.  As the dress is fairly feminine I wanted to harden the look and did so by adding a chunky heel and studded bag.  The tassel is actually one bought in the Morrocan souks of Marrakesh and I think it adds a more bohemian edge to the bag.  I love the color of this dress, red is so eye catching and powerful and it genuinely made me feel more confident whilst wearing it.  It's a massive trend for A/W so grab something in any shade, from vermillion to burgundy.  Red is definitely not dead!

So here, as promised, is a little outfit post including the new bag!  It's a bit brighter then I expected but I quite like the playfulness of it, especially teamed with a cream shirt. It'll be great for summer festivals as it isn't leather and so won't get mind a little cider being spilled on it!  Let me know what you think and whether I should keep this colour or go for the less in -your- face grey?  Answers on the back of a postcard please...

Tie Dyed!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and what better way to celebrate then investing in a very affordable little tie dye number?! If you're a little afraid of splashing out on tie-dye jeans a la Isabel Marant then this is a great way to give a nod to the trend this season.  At only £20 you won't regret it this time next year when surfer chic may not be the flavour of the month! I've bagged the red one and can't wait to take it for a test drive (outfit post will come as soon as it's delivered). Don your ripped shorts dudes, summer's here!
