Turning the Paige on new brands

-

As the seasons change we see a lot of new brands emerging whether it is independent companies launching on their own or our favourite retailers such as ASOS picking the freshest new designers to showcase.
Autumn/Winter is by far my favourite season. I mean it is the season where you can get away with only shaving your ankles and fake tanning your arms and hands but the main reason is that I love layers! 
Layers and jackets. The key things that make up a great Winter wardrobe.
So as I was trawling through ASOS the other day I was more than happy to come across a new London based brand Willow and Paige. Not only do they have the combination of words in their brand description that make me swoon but they create some of the most beautiful and girl knitwear and pieces that perfectly capture a girl who wants to standout without feeling....well stupid really.



"WILLOW & PAIGE | Stay away from average and say hello to standout style with London-based brand Willow & Paige. Knitwear obsessed and focused on femininity, its collection is all about beautiful yarns, intricate detailing and prettified pieces."



Errr merrr gerrrrd right?!


So of course I jumped on board with getting my winter loving mitts on one of these pieces....and I'm not going to lie it took me a solid three days to decide which one I wanted. 





 




  
I know right?! So thats not even half of the amount of pretty they offer up and none of these are what I eventually decided to go for. Don't get me wrong the Butterfly Jumper and freakin' POM POM jumper are 100% next on my list but I ordered one that stood out to me, it combines my favourite print, colour and detail.


PS How cute is the branding?! So I went for a little lilac number with frills on the shoulders...I repeat frills on the shoulders. I went for a Large because I hate it when jumpers are a slim fit I love having them a little bit over sized and comfy. I haven't captured it here (because I can't take a picture of my back) but I also love the fact that the jumper is only striped on the front. Love little details like that.


I teamed mind with light wash jeans and my duck egg blue Clarks desert boots but I am also looking forward to teaming it with my leather skirt to add a bit more edge to it too. I love when brads capture the things that girls like me want to wear. When you don't want your standard Topshop jumper that 300 other people will have on the same day as you. Now don't get me wrong I'm sure Willow and Paige will take off but isn't it so much nicer to see people rocking a frill shoulder or pom pom appliquéd jumper.

Just a thought aye!

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
