YOLKERS

Here's my mini zine, I created in during a 48hour workshop at university and it gives a hint to why I haven't posted in so long. I'm currently creating a full length zine called Reward If Found which you can check out on Facebook or on Twitter @RIF_Zine.

I'll be back soon so share the work i've done recently and my usual posts about music, shopping and inspirations.

SHINING STAR

In love with this track.

BITCH PLEASE

Need these.

WHP

The return of Warehouse Project to a new venue was something amazing to be a part of last night, despite the heat inside the amazing new space reaching sauna heights and leaving with legs (..and creepers) caked in mud. Best sets of the night have to go to Maya Jane Coles who set off the huge main room at the start of the night, also to Scuba, it was the first time i'd seen him, he packed out the smaller room of the warehouse with a sound that stood out again the big deep house acts and finally to XXXY who I have to see more of....

FLAMINGO

I have an occasionally wondering eye for overly girly pieces, and would rock this skirt with a basic grey tri-blend Apparel tee, vintage oversized denim jacket and heavy black platforms, for a grungier take on a very feminine piece. I love the texture and un-sculpted feel. 

Skirt: Zara.

BLOCK PARTY

I am lusting over the solid blocks of heel, from strapped sandals with 1990's style low block heels to the unavoidable sporty flatform and subtly sloped wooden wedges, this new take on adding a little height is great for daytimes and adds aplomb to midi skirts and skinny jeans. Here's my pick of the highstreet.

(From left to right) 1. Glitter Wedge, Topshop, £55. 2. Flatform Pumps, Topshop, £22. 3. Animal Wedge, River Island, £44. 4. Raffia Plait Wedge, River Island, £35. 5. Dalmation Strap Wedge, Deena & Ozzy, £68. 6. Ponyskin Strapped Sandal, Topshop, £55. 7. Cream and Navy Block Heel, River Island, £45. 8. White Stack Plimsoll, Schuh, £28. 9. Ankle Cuffed Block Heel, Cheap Monday, £80. 10. Snake Crossover Sandal, Topshop, £45. 11. Dalston Wedge, Topshop, £50. 12. Snake Block Wedge, ASOS, £40.

My favourite's are the Ponyskin pair, need to order them as soon as my pay cheque drops.

ASHISH

London Fashion Week for me has always been a little more playful, more colourful and edgy than minimal New York, luxury Milan or feminine Paris but this weeks a/w collections seemed to have grown up. An air of sophistication at Topshop Unique replaced the themes of the past several season, whilst House of Holland's edgy East London girl seems to smartened up, Holland himself even states “She’s getting a bit older this season, it’s all really beautifully made and there are some really classic pieces – I’ve always made clothes for the girls I spend time with and as we grow up and live life, she always needs something to wear.” As much as I loved these new directions I missed the excitement, luckily for me Ashish didn't fail to disappoint and stayed true to his identity with sports inspired pieces and sequin overload. The collection, entitled Bollywouldn't, is another amazing contrast of luxe and lounge and I can't but hear MIA's new tune Bad Girls in my head each time I look over the runway photos.
