Sunday Girl

The looks at LFW continued to come thick and fast today....including Topshop Unique, perhaps my most anticipated show...

Acne

A brand I keep my eye on and always seem to covert: More Ochre, sumptuous fabrics, patchworked metallics, industrial femininity, slouchy dropped waists, tone on tone colour, still an air of 1970's.

 House of Holland

Amazing Interpretation of Grandma Chic: Love the crocket shawls and oversized scarf, budgerigar prints..bingo ball prints, loads of pearls, bold orange, fur trims, pleating, ladylike tailoring, Royal Family meets Acid House, pop socks and shoes, a tiny bit 1940's with colour thrown at it.

 Jonathan Saunders

So much colour: Tropical prints, glossy fabrics, jewel like colour, 1st Lady, print clash, Winter exotics, prim but bold, geometry, seperates, colour blocking.

 Mulberry

Another brand I always love: Serious colour matching, natural elements, new shearling, ladylike, bulky outerwear, the brightest tones against neutrals, 1970's Preppy.

 Topshop Unique

FAVOURITE SO FAR: 101 Dalmations, city influences, monocromatic, the cutest styling (Katie Grand), Cruella, childhood, collars and neck ties, amazing repeat patterns (check out the toy cars!!), sailor girl, hide and PEEP cut outs. I just want to roll in it.

 Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Queen Viv: More senile referencing, crazy craft, pattern clashing, the most covertable Red Nose Day tee's ever?!, rollers and rain caps, prim and proper, Royalty, texture, high gloss, fur, thrift finds, busy neck details.

Winter is looking great...and it's safe to say yellow in all of it's guises is sticking around.

EVOLUTION

..a very well kept secret.

The full line up for my favourite small festival was announced this week and it looks hot...The Kills, Iggy and The Stooges, Two Door Cinema Club, Jamie Woon, Katy B, Fenech Soler, Caribou, Annie Mac and Mount Kimbie...and that's not all of it.

Evo is based in Newcastle...right in the city by the canal, so there's no treaking across swampy fields to compete with (that's waiting at Glastonbury, Creamfields and Bestival this year.) The afterparty's have nothing on Shangri-La at Glasto but you can still catch some decent DJ sets and knock back some more drinks i  the clubs and bar around the city before collapsing in your hotel room.

And..a weekend ticket is only £35.

Of course i'm a girl..and a fashion student so the question as to what to pack is already on my mind. My muse for this weekend is definitely going to be Alison Mosshart of The Kills.

(Oh yeah, as if they're not cool enough already The Kills now front the Zadig & Voltaire Campaigns.)

So the look is....

Loads of beaten leather, vintage denim, fringing, metalic boots, geometric print leggings, shirts, leopard print, breton stripes, androgynous hats and knackered band tee's. Accessorized with sunglasses, a warm can of cider and a cigarette at all times.

(My Own moodboard created using images from Urban Outfitters, Bitching and Junkfood and Vadig & Voltaire.)

Roll on May.

LFW48.

London Fashion Week has been in swing for 48 hours now so it's definitely time to look at the catwalks and see what i'm loving.

Charles Anastase

Love the naughty vintage style: plush velvets, sheer, cutie collars, bambi-like legs, metal plumage, stacked platforms, wader length skinny boots, shine and matt, crimped frizz hair.

 Felder Felder

Love the modern backstage look: Petrol shades, leather, corsetry, high waists, 1980, draping vs structure, studding, amazing lipstick, strength.

 Jaeger

Love the grown up colour pops: Burnt Orange, Mustard Yellow, sheer dogtooth, amazing layering, 1960's shapes, undone tailoring, remodelled shape, smart yet farmer's wife textures, colour block shoes.

 Kirsty Ward

She really caught my eye: Cheeky sheers, new cut outs, luxury wealth of neutrals, tribal royalty, boyish biker boots, sports luxe, organza, clashing weights of fabric.

3:1 Phillip Lim

Always have love for the King of Sports Luxe: Paintbox Blue, foil green, leather arms, loose shapes, tribal detailing, harness shoes, understated femininity, futuristic soccer mom, the ease of dressing.

 PPQ

Loved the details: School girl ruffle socks, Wednesday Addams plaits, ice block bags, Charlotte Dellal ears, choir boy neck ruffs, religion and royalty, concealing.

Proenza Schouler

Love everything they ever do: Grown up Venice Beach, stained glass, crochet, signature black, autumnal accent, suede and velvet, throw it on outerwear, peeping knees, 1970's future.

 Sass and Bide

Love the Escapism: Winter sun, African tribe, sunset shades, body paint, contrast of airy textures, animalistic carnival, flame like sequins, nest like hair.

POSE

There at least three reasons behind this post:

1) I am currently pursuing an application to intern at Storm over the summer.

2) London Fashion Week has begun it's parade of beautiful faces.

3) I am getting excited for Channel 4's new documentary The Model Agency (see clips and interviews 'ERE.)

...4) I get to muse over beautiful faces which is far more fun than note making on Post Modernism.

Siri Tollerod

In Lula Magazine

For Miu Miu A/W 2010

Actually..I loved every girl from this Miu Miu campaign

Lindsay Wixson

For Miu Miu

The most amazing dolls rosebud lips.

Daphne Groeneveld

Yes she's 15

But she can look amazingly polished and preened.

Hannah Holman

Love her bare look

..and the strength and grit of her face.

Alessandra Ambrosio

Looked amazing with dark hair and bleached brows on the cover of Love. Goodbye Girl Next Door Pretty.

Karlie Kloss

Can flick from Teenaged Hick to amazing Americana Goddess in a moment.

Freja Beha Erichsen

I just completely love her. Love her hacked main of hair. Love the angles of her face. Love her tattoos.

Bambi

Stunning and alluring but such a tomboy at heart. Plus she opened one of my favourite shows of S/S11, Topshop Unique.

Erin Wasson

Female perfection. She's the one I want to be. She just oozes sex.

Beauties.

Beautiful Garbage

Fitting because I did wake up in my make up.

And although I LOVE to hate her, Courtney Love looked great in Givenchy couture at the ELLE style awards.

I've always been a bit of grunge girl at heart and although she is a murderous mess Love is an original pin up for the herion chic 1990's Grunge look...and music scene. Can totaly image her in all the garments from my Topshop Neo Grunge Hippy Moodboard.

When she's not looking like a bad plastic surgery nightmare Love actually champions great style.

By Jan Welters for The New York Times.

Love these photos of her my David Roemer.

I think I engage with her images because like her..no matter how pretty the dress I always look a little ragged and black eyed.

Love is bitter sweet.

MOODYSSSS

Think these are my favourite Moodbaords.

Gunna send them off with a Topshop Application.

..love the Good Girl and Bad Girl side of the 70's hippy look.

Which girl are you gunna be this summer?

AURAL

Caribou - Odessa

T.E.E.D - Garden

Just two of my favourite things to listen to at the moment.

BIG but sedate.

And then, N.A.S.A (feat. Kanye West, Santogold and Lykke Li) - Gifted.

Less sedate but still fits the mood of what i'm loving at the moment.
