RAVE NANA!!

Once again I am going to blog about House of Holland, this time because I think his London Fashion week show was one of the best yet! I was lucky enough to spend the day in the House of Holland office yesterday and see how Henry and his team work. It was so inspiring to see a designer working alongside his team at the same desk, chatting about the after show party and laughing at and loving the reviews and quotes they have heard since the show is over. I know that HOH is not to everybody's taste but for me Henry Holland just gets better and better. There is nothing better than a designer who creates a collection from a crazy memory or simple idea that stems from something personal. This collection named "Rave Nana" was inspired by Henry's memories of his Nan and is therefore a collection of CRAZY 70's and 80's prints combined with the ever so Henry quirkiness. I did have one major show stopping favorite in the collection (as always) and it is now added to ...

OH MY GOD I am in love! If you read my blog you'll know that I am a complete Henry Holland devotee. I love his designs and accessories more than anything, he is one designer who manages to encapsulate himself in every one of his garments he designs. I love the fact that people second glance if you wear his clothes. Unfortunately being a student doesn't allow me to buy House of Holland, the closet I get is his line in Debenhams (thank god that exists) but today I was having a browse on the HOH website and fell in love with the things I can't afford *boo* *hiss* Holland's new collection is one of his best yet. Oh my goodness! LOVE LOVE LOVE EVEN MORE This is my favorite out of the whole collection. I make a pact with myself that I WILL own this dress. These make me want to live somewhere it's constantly sunny. And as if that wasn't enough, he has also designed a dog coat. Yes a DOG COAT so my beloved puppy can rock the House of Hol...

Hey guys! I have been a very bad blogger the last week *slaps wrist* I have been SO busy with uni work and hand ins,alongside actual work at H&M that I have been crashing at 7 and getting back up at 6 to start it all again! All part of the game though hey?  On top of this I had my 22nd Birthday on Tuesday (cue the quarter life crisis) AND I have been to London to the Company Magazine Fashion Forum, so I thought what a better way to burst some life back into A fashionable affair than to show you MY life for the last few weeks? I've never actually done a post like this so apologies if you hate it! Ok so before all of the fun began my week taken over by possibly my favorite uni project I have done. Our brief was to promote our uni magazine Platfform in a unique way and present to our lecturer and Ric Bower who is the creator of Blown magazine. This meant I had a pile of Platfform magazines constantly under my arm and actually had dreams about it...sad I know. But in t...

This is a mans world

Hi guys, so I realised lately that not a lot of fashion blogs take into account the poor guys out there, lost in fashion world. It's easy enough for us girls to log onto each other blogs or instagrams or simply chat about what we should wear. But what about the guys? Now I have a lot of male friends but don;t ever go clothes shopping with them, purely because men and shopping never mix well in my eyes. It's been years since I've had a boyfriend and if I take my dad shopping I end up suggesting clothes that I think would work on a 22 year old not a 50 year old. So I have decided to give the confused style guys of the world some tips. Many may think girls don't know how to dress guys but believe me, I spend equally as much time looking at men's style as I do women's. There is something about men's style that interests me. Designers such as Stella McCartney focus on using male tailoring in her designs creating some of the most beautiful blazers and jackets...
