DAKS London SS14 Press Day [Photo Diary]

 

  

 Some of my favourite pieces from the collection, I'm in love with the classic print which is featured on a range of pieces which could be paired and pulled off as a two-piece suit like the separate blouse and pants (which has its variations in size of print) as well as pieces which you could match with bold colours like the shift dress.  

Can we also talk about the leather jacket ? I predict a numerous amount of coverage (placement/featuring) in the near future !

One word LOVE ! 

River Island Xmas in July

So last week I was student ambassador, and this week, I'm at river island press office doing a 2 week work experience . Luckily; I started this internship at a good time (Monday just gone), in the fashion calendar of most people in the industry, July is a month with many brands hosting their mid-season press days, also known as Xmas in July. This is where you get to see some of the christmas special pieces which will enter stores in about october.

Red accents, and of course leopard had to be featured this jolly season !

 

The traditional autumn palette , black, berry reds etc. I'm ITCHING for those boots !

Thinking Pink ?

Monochrome with hints of print

 My favourite pieces from the collection : 

You all know how much I'm in love with courts now, and these metallic turquoise, gold, neon and florescent are on reserve in my shoe area within my bedroom. I am also intrigued with the ankle strap up heels, the leopard with the hot pink heel alongside the orange in the same style (also comes in blue) are absolutely exciting ! This season expect to be seeing a lot of ankle boots paired with the beautiful dress to toughen up the look.

And what is a christmas party look without the statement clutch bag? Bejewelled of course ! All of the jewellery continues to be THE statement piece, River Island have a lot of oversized diamond earrings and necklaces, as well as a little bit of fur.

 

 

IS THIS NOT DIVINE ????
By force ! I shall hang this joyfully in my wardrobe
;)

Paolita Press Day

A  few  weeks  ago,  I  was  invited  to  Paolita  Press  Day  to  have  a  look  at  their  2013  swimwear  collection.

I  only  know  of  the  brand  from  their  exclusive  collections  on  ASOS and  for  my  first  ever  'press  day'  it  was  really  fun  to  go  through  the  story  behind  the  garments ,  inspiration  and  see  nearly  all  of  the  collection . 

After  working  for  designers  like  McQueen, Anna  Paola  launched  her  own  swimwear  label  in  2010  designing  a  range  of   pieces  inspired  by  her  multicultural  heritage and  experiences.  Every  collection  includes  a bandeau  and halterneck  bikini as  well  as  an  all-in-one  suiting  the  needs  of  any  consumer.  

In  this  collection,  we  see  plenty  of  cultural  references  with  a  twist  modernity,  uniqueness,  vibrant  colors  (and  also  sticking  to  some  tradition)  in  various  cuts  and  styles  suiting  any  figure - even  us  females  with  a  fuller  chest  area (bigger cups  even going  up  to  an  F).

Here  are  a  few  of  my  favorite  styles  from  the  lookbook ; ) - 

Ok, I may  have  exaggerated  with  'a  few'  ^_^, but  the  variety  of  style  and  therefore  choice  makes  me  happy,  and  the  choice  of  overall's and  lace  dresses  just  finishes  that  summer  beach  look.  What is  your  favorite  look ?  Mine  has  to  be  the  Kenyan Masai tribe  look and  of  course  every  girl  needs  a striped  swimsuit  with  lace  finish hehe : D
