Peter Pilotto - Pre SS/14

Hi Guys!

Today I would like to share with you a very impressive collection from duo designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos who have done incredibly with one of my favourite labels; Peter Pilotto.

I was particularly amazed at the print-fest of their Pre SS/14 collection. It felt like a little teaser of what is to come and I just had to show you! :-)

It really is just so beautiful to view. As a Nigerian, one of the types of clothing that we wear is known as 'ankara' and is full of all types of print. This is the reason why I am so in love with this collection and their many others. It is full of colour and life. The vibrancy of each piece stands out and are all very unique.

High is right up my Street!

Hi Guys!

Today I am going to take us in to the wonderful world of high street fashion!
When I tell people that I am a lover of fashion and nice things, they instantly suspect that I am the "slam dunk your paycheck on a pair of Louboutins on pay day" kind of girl. Errrm not quite! Enough about high end stuff! Let's indulge in high street. As a frequent high street consumer, I know first hand that it's not about where you got it from but rather, how you wear it!

My favourite high street store is Zara. I absolutely love Zara. I have always said that they are a  "luxury brand with affordable prices". The quality of clothes and accessories never seize to impress me. I shop at other high street stores such as H&M who I think are doing fantastically well in the fashion world right now, Topshop, River Island, Primark and even online retailers like ASOS.

Well, I have been researching and have seen some pieces that have really caught my eye for the coming months.

Primark: Maxi Skirt

This maxi skirt is great for summer and on holiday. Love the flower prints, it's more interesting than your usual one colour maxi and would go well with a simplistic statement such as a white tank top/vest.

Primark: Monochrome heels

I must say, what Primark have in store for us this summer is quite impressive. 

Zara: £69.99

Love this check print coat from Zara and the colour too! doesn't it just brighten up your day? It actually reminds me of the check theme from Louis Vuitton's SS/13 collection! Brill!

Loving the print on this summer dress. This would go nicely with a pair of white sandals.

My Super 8!

Hi Guys,

I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter! Friday and Monday was definitely needed as a break, though I'm back in the office and cannot believe it's all over and so quickly!

Right now I would like to invite you to come along with me on a journey into the world of luxury! High-end and high fashion at it's best!
I have seen 8 of my favourite pieces from various designers for the Spring and Summer months! So let's have a look see at the ones that stood out for me the most..



Silk-Satin wide leg trousers by Maiyet

We can all agree that the colour of these beauties pretty much speak for itself. The material indicates lightness in weight, which means it's perfect for summer!



Cut Out Leather Sandals by Nicholas Kirkwood

I am absolutely in love with these sandals. It doesn't always have to be flat sandals you know! why not try blocked heeled ones!



The Falabella Boucle Shoulder bag by Stella McCartney

I must admit I do love Stella's bags. This is a another version of her well known Falabella bags. I love the gold chain that runs through the entire bag. Works well carried on the beach because of the basket patch type material or on a night out as it still holds it's sheekness for that! 

 

Striped Cotton-blend Blazer by Lanvin



The year of the Monochrome! Love this blazer. I think it can be worn with pretty much anything, I'm thinking RED! Red wide leg trousers that is.



Embellishes Suede Sandals by Givenchy

In the words of Rihanna, "Heels Givenchy, huh?" haha! Yep definitely! Love these handsomes! They look classy as ever. Put me in a pair of leather pants and slip me in a pair of these and I'm good to go!

 

1984 Textured Leather Shoulder Bag by Marc Jacobs



...And here we have a vibrant looking bag, perfect for spring/summer. It's one of those bags that one just carries with anything on a bright and sunny day. Love. A must have I say. 



Honeycomb Jacquard Jacket by Alexander McQueen

Glam, glam and pure glam. Sarah Burton always gives us something to be astonished about! This bumble bee inspired blazer would give you the wow factor as soon as you walk into that room for sure!


Draped printed silk-blend lamé gown by Lanvin

Yummy! Love this maxi dress.Wonderful during the summer months or on a sun, sea and sand holiday. Make a bold statement by standing out in this flower printed dress!

H&M hearts SHOES! - Press/Preview event

Hi Guys!

I'm back with some shoes and accessories! I attended the H&M preview event of their SS/13 collection!
I was really impressed with what I saw, and it certainly set me up for this spring/summer. I cannot wait to start wearing sandals and wedges because I am tired of the boots! So ladies let's get our pedicure appointments booked! ha!

Take a look at some pictures that I took below and tell me what you think..

 These are the bikinis that will soon be in stock, The front bikini bra looks like something Rihanna would wear.

The warm weather allows us to let our skin breathe! Love these peep toe wedges!

This is for all of you snake skin lovers. A lovely clutch candy on a night out.

The year of the BIG hand bags.

This is one of my favourite neck accessories of the bunch. This neck piece is a bold statement and wants all the attention.

Bags bags bags!

H&M gives us nude, neutral creams, white and camel colours this spring/summer.

Some more neck pieces to complement a dress.

I love this bag, especially the colour it's in. It would be appreciated on a bright sunny day with a pair of sunglasses in the same colour!

H&M are also adding a bit of colour to your day.

These are perfect for spring. It's covered enough, yet there's room for air! It's sheek and with a pair of tight skinny jeans it would look even more divine.

I was really fascinated with this clutch bag. Love the odd colours. The pastel green makes it unique.

These are the type of block wedges you pack in a suitcase for a holiday!The hidden pink is such a beautiful mystery!

Overall setting in the showroom

Well! I am really excited for some of the things that H&M will be bringing to their stores! I love the warm weather, it really compliments fashion in general.

I will be attending more preview events over the coming weeks so look out for the posts!

I hope you liked the collection!
