Michael Van Der Ham

Michael Van Der Ham Spring/Summer collection

The prints that opened Michael van der Ham's show were such a clever idea, 

you almost felt a lightbulb pop up over your own head. The designer had frozen 

his signature fabric collages as images of torn swatches on smart crepe de 

chine blouses and scarf-wrap skirts. You can even get your hands on some 

similar yet cheaper pieces from the designer at Topshop online now.

Michael van der Ham's AW11 collection for Topshop. Fall for grown-up 
pieces with a fun, irreverent edge, in his signature collage style. Colours 
pop and clash, while unexpected fabrics play out over his neat shapes.

Little (late) weekend inspiration

I was meaning to post this on Friday but took a little holiday last week.

So here's my 'Little (late) weekend inspiration'.. normally post similar 

posts most week just showing my favourite picks from around. Mostly 

revolving around the Topshop LFW show this time & other bloggers..Hope you like

Jonathan Saunders Spring/Summer 2012

Jonathan Saunders Spring/Summer 2012 Pjs vs Desperate housewives

Inspired by Mad men's January Jones with a flick of black eye liner and 

a slightly bouffant-ed ponytail to broadcast her bad-girl credentials. 
The designer himself claims the colour palette was 'the sugary shades of south 

beach' sunsets, beaches, pools you name it. I really adore the colourings but 

the shapes are very simple and i feel the looks have been done before.

Proenza Schouler NYFW

Proenza Schouler were inspired by architecture, cutting edge and new 

shapes. Juxtaposition of colours, prints and lots of layers combined with a 

very forties look. There were buttoned-up-to-the-neck shorts suits perched 

on wooden platform shoes, and button-down shirts cropped above flaring, 

high-waisted shorts or an A-line skirt. The colours were browns and blacks 

for the most part, with some white and shots of yellow.

Weekend Inspiration

Just a little inspiration for the weekend:):)

Antiques blues for this spring

 Band of outsiders. Seizing inspiration from Peter Weir's hypnotic films, so 
they sent out a sampler platter of looks that conjured his film's Edwardian 
feel. Gorgeous dresses with antique style print. I loove the transition from 
white moving to blue floral prints..one of my favourite collections of 
New York fashion week 

Alexander Wang. What started as an athletic 'car racer' looks soon turned 

into elegant prints with a twist.Like before the transition from colour to 

print was apparent.. Although this time the print was all over but the 

colour was sort of dip dyed.. almost like the trend of ombre hair. Combined 

with tough leather or bold pockets and zips this is a really great collection

Narciso Rodriguez Specialises in minimalist subtlety.

It started simply, with a black T-shirt, its shoulders slightly padded, 

worn with a pair of white trousers with a jagged black waistband. 

But the patch working quickly became more intense. Dresses were pieced 

together like a puzzle from with blue antique floral print. Very elegant 

and crisp. All these shows remind me of antique blue and white floral 

plates and table wear. I think this is one of the key looks for next Spring.

Black ankle boots for Autumn

Black ankle boots are a must have for this Autumn

Newlook have some amazing boots in for this season at reasonable prices 

but all the boots i seem to want to go for are topshop £50+ items. I'm 

not a die hard fan of eBay, but from time to time i look on there or sell 

things. I was looking for some cheap boots and stumbled across lots of 

little shops on there that sale similar boots to those of newlook etc but 

at a fraction of the price. Obviously with shoes you want to try them on 

but at these prices can you really not go for them, plus all eBay stores 

guarantee a return policy if they don't fit or you don't like them etc.

Wedge lace platform ankle boots 17.99 Ebay

Sherbert black block heel ankle boots £19 Ebay

Heeled square toe black suede boots £17.99 Ebay

Platform ankle boots in black, brown and more £21.99 Ebay

The Row Spring/Summer 2012 at NYFW

Four years after launching their label The Row, Ashley and Mary-Kate 

Olsen have proven to be heavy weights in the fashion world.

Their ready-to-wear collections are sold out in most places and 

they've now branched out into designing bags.

This collection is no exception, crisp white garments ranging from 

suits to kimono type pieces, with heavily embellished unique sections..

this collection is definitely a hit with me.

Jil Sander Navy

Jil Sander Navy..a very girl scout look for spring/summer 2012

The lower-priced Sander line, which sells alongside labels like Stella 

McCartney at department stores, combined a scout's innocence and curiosity

 with characteristic clean lines and techy fabrics for a modern approach 
to uniform dressing. I love the colourings and simple shapes..not so keen 
on the trainers some how...
