A new year provides the opportunity for new adventures, new memories and new beginnings. 2014 brought me happiness, heart break, laughs, tears and ideas. 2015 will be more happiness, less heart break, more laughs, tears of joy and fore-filling those ideas. 

May 2015 bring you the same.

LC:M - London Collection Menswear returns.

LC:M - London Collection Menswear returns.

Welcome to 2015 and just as we finish celebrating the festive season and the January blues begin, London Collection: Menswear kicks off to lift our spirits.

This fashion event continues to grow from strength and strength, bringing some of our favourite house hold names and the best emerging talent to the home of fashion creativity - London.

I'm beginning to prepare myself for the chaotic, yet enjoyable madness that comes with any fashion week - Even though admittedly LC:M provides a sense of calm in comparison to it's big sister, London Fashion Week. 

Before we all begin to look forward, I have put together some mood boards from some of my favourite looks from the previous shows. They're all a bit of fun and the collections I've most enjoyed for this winter.

Outfit of the day: Lounge Days.

Outfit of the days: Lounge Days.

Sat on the sofa with the sun coming through the window on a pleasant winter day in London and I have no intention of moving unless completely necessary. 

I have been lost in a youtube frenzy for the last two hours and have some how ended up with chilling out to golden oldie tracks; currently playing - "Rod Stewart - Do ya think I'm sexy?"

I was inspired by the seventies when I put this look together (Or my impression of it). I wanted to keep the concept modern so I built the foundation for the look around a navy palette and combined this washed out tan and navy jacket by Club Monaco and Illesteva tortoise shell sunglasses to add those seventies influences. The flash of colour comes from the t-shirt by french brand, AMI.

December Wishlist

Here's a look at my December wishlist - Part 1.

Outfit of the day: Sunday Suave

Outfit Of The Day: Sunday Suave

This look was built around a boys bedroom I came across looking at apartments in New York. I loved the combination of steel, mahogany wood and the pockets of colour from the accessories and toys. A keep part to all my outfit builds is using an array of texture to provide visual stimulation to a look. 

I'm always hugely inspired by interior design and architecture probably due to my dad's career in commercial architecture and his compulsive obsession with redecorating his house. 

The book featured in the picture is called

" Cabins by Philip Jodidio" 

It explores the idea of the isolated cabin and the architectural innovation accompanying it. Internationally renowned architecture writer Philip Jodidio examines life in a small space and the opportunities for creative thinking and low-impact living - from an artist studio in England to eco-home huts in India. With beautiful photography, illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi, and text in English, German and French.
