NYC ILY

 So I have just come back from a summer fashion design internship in New York city and it was amazing. I learnt so much and saw New York for what it really is! I recommend visiting the city if you have the pennies! I came to New york with ONE SUITCASE and came back with THREE! ( do not judge, it's the place of temptation) SHOES, SHOES AND MORE SHOES! Here are some of the things that I brought back with me...

Selection is the option part 1



With summer plans all booked, I forgotten one small detail... what to pack in my suitcase! And with a tight budget, a shopping spree is definitely not in the cards. But I have been able to come up with a solution which might help you guys too with your wardrobes. RECYCLING! It seems many bloggers have 'ways to wear' posts but I don't think it makes the top or your new leggings look new again. And that's why I have created 'SELECTION IS THE OPTION'. This post is about how am going to make a simple and cheap jumpsuit into three different outfits for separate occasions, starting with a casual and effortless look.

One just isn't enough.




 Who said accesories had to be limited? Let's face it! There comes a time in our lives, especially as students that our bank accounts aren't going be as fullfilling as we wished they would be. I recently felt the credit crunch biting me in the back and so I was unable to shop :( To cheer myself up  I raded my mother's closet for new outfits and came accross this beautfiful, vintage silk scarf. But  a scarf isn't just a scarf in my books....

polka boo, I see you

Polka Dot! 
Mesh, pastel and leopard print trends may come and go but it seems the polka dot fever never ceases to fade away. From a  tailored jumpsuit to a casual dress, polka dots have found their way into our wardrobes. Floral patterns have become the MUST-WEAR for this summer but I guarantee you that a cute, symmetric polka skirt is so much more versatile and unpredictable. I recently observed the runways and designers such as Kors and Stella-McCartney  have also implemented this trend in into their spring line. I have adpated these looks BUT with a cheaper price tag! 

Designers: Stella-McCartney, Marc Jacobs
 
The Alternative: ASOS marketplace

Designer : Stella-McCartney

Polka Dots are not always coventional, the black and white can at times been seen as tedious and plain. However, Stella-McCartney has proven to us that this trend can be stepped outside of its comfot zone by adding a POP of colour. I particuarly loved the yellow and white design and went looking for a cheaper alternative.

The alternative: A long top top which I cut into a croppy, just to add a summer vibe to the outfit, I bought this at a local charity shop in Leicester.



The alternative: River Island , much more modern take on the trend of polka dot, it has two layers of fabric which adds originality.
