A right Royal knees up!

>>Oh, hello! It feels like I have not posted anything for years. I have been so busy finishing my college project and making Tr-end magazine (I'll make a post about it)

Anyway, if you have not already noticed it is the Queen's Diamond jubilee! Even though it started off a bit wet and windy on the thames last Sunday everyone was still in good spirits. Last Friday Oxford Street in London had a right Royal knees up as Topshop was taken over by pastel queens and lots of balloons. Sadly I didn't get a chance to be at this great event but I managed to catch up by watching the event on the Topshop website.

All of the images were found on the Topshop website

Celebrating 40 Years of Mulberry

>>Mulberry has always been one of those great British brands that I have admired. Since 1971 Mulberry has impressed many with their trade mark Bayswater  leather bags and their statement Fashion Week collections. 


When I found out that my favourite British designer brand is launching a book to celebrate 40 years of Mulberry (I know 40 years!!!) my fashion brain nearly exploded with excitement. I have spotted some sneak peak images from the book and my god they are simply amazing. The book isn't based around Mulberry's past, but shows us a glimpse into their life's, a fly-on-the-wall look into Mulberry's amazing fashion journey from the past two years of the brands life.


This book just has to be in my collection of fashion books, I have always had a big connection to books. Being able to turn each page and to look deep into every image makes me feel closer to the designer and their thoughts.


You can have Mulberry's first ever book for £55!!

Where The Wild Things Are

>>I have always had a soft spot for British brand Mulberry. My love for them has grown even more (if that is possible) since the release of their latest A/W 12 collection, inspired by none other than the old children's book 'Where The Wild Things Are'.

As I already know one of the most exciting parts about Mulberry collections is seeing the amazing masterpieces being the invites. This year those of you lucky enough to be sent a giant gold key in the mail were invited to unlock Mulberry's A/W 12 collection. The collection featured big gorilla coats, chunky knits and the classic Mulberry leather bag. Keeping in with the forest animals theme, all of the models hair was tree bark brown. This complimented the brown long fur coats perfectly.

The big furry Mulberry fashion giant was popping up everywhere during London Fashion Week in February. Another matter which took the Mulberry world by storm was the sudden release of The Del Rey, inspired by hot new American singer Lana Del Rey. The Del Rey is designed to be a modern, but classic interpretation of Lana's signature glamour and mystique.

By looking back at Mulberry's A/W 12 collection there is only one thing left for me to say. I wish I could pull off that long gorilla coat!

Westfield Future Fashion Event

>>Yesterday, me and my sister went to the Future Fashion Event at Westfield Stratford City. The show featured a 3D Catwalk show, mini photo booths, giant touch screens to create trend mood boards and lots of special offers! I enjoyed every piece of this small fashion event, and creating the giant fashion mood boards was my favourite highlight of the day. Also to top the day off nicely when I got home and checked my Facebook page Westfield had chose to post about our trend board! I was so excited that I took a screenshot of the page. (Check it out below)

Westfield Stratford city

>> Whilst out shopping at Westfield on Thursday I put my sneaky journalistic skills to the test. I am pretty proud of the photos I had taken actually (none of them are blurry to start) and I feel that they turned out quite effective. I was so happy that I could take lots of sneaky photos in Topshop, as it is my up most favourite shop that has ever existed, I just had to get my camera out! Although there was hundreds of big beefy security men wondering around, I took the risk of being chucked out of my favourite store for my blog (the things us bloggers do ehh!) But luckily enough little old me managed to pull off some really effective photos.. Seriously though I'm so happy I didn't get caught!
