SHOPPING AT MALLZEE

>>Admit it, no one likes to go shopping, spot the perfect dress and then find that they haven't got your size or standing in miles upon miles of queue's. If you had the choice between going through the stresses of shopping instore or sitting at home with a cuppa and your laptop on calmly clicking through the pages of tops and dresses, I know the one I would choose! So, when I was approached by new online shopping store Mallzee I was very excited. Mallzee.com is a brand new online shopping experience which makes shopping online more sociable and fun. The main reason Mallzee stands out and is unique from the many other online stores is that each user can create individual shopping malls full of their favourite brands. They can share their fashion finds with their friends on Facebook and Twitter and here's the best bit, you can gain great deals and discounts for your friends along the way!

It doesn't end there! The user who built the Mallzee gets paid each time their friends buy anything via it!! The website isn't set to launch until later this year but don't let that get to you. Sign up on Mallzee.com now to receive an exclusive invite for the site launch later this year! I've done mine already.

Fashion Animal

>>These amazingly cute photographs by Paul Graves for "World of Hermes" would make anyone smile. Graves put his still life photography skills to the test by creating detailed animals out of leather Hermes bags. The pink cow (or I see it as a pink pig) below certainly made me smile and the white swan is just perfection!

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!!

Mary K at Topshop

Mary Katrantzou is the designer of the moment! Her SS12 London Fashion Week show was talked about for weeks and was seen as the highlight of Fashion Week. She's known for her bold vibrant patterns and signature silhouettes. Now Mary's trademark prints will be seen in Topshop, the collection will feature bold prints paired with colour blocking patterns. Everyone has got to have a piece of Mary K in their wardrobe!!

Images from the Topshop website

Mary's SS12 London Fashion Week show was a huge highlight for fashion week. Everyone remembers the amazing  bold flowers lined on the runway. These flowers complimented the whole show, working with each outfit as it walked passed. This is definitely one fashion week show that I will remember for a long time.

Lazy Oaf Sneaky Peak

Lazy Oaf is one of my favourite online shops, I love the quirky bold unique designs. Whilst looking on their website (spending money that I don't actually have) I had a little look on their blog. I came across some sneaky peak images of their latest unreleased S/S 12 collection, it's like a candy rainbow for my eyes  looking at the fruity summer prints. So save your pennies cause I think in this collection you'll find a must have for your wardrobe. The collection launches in February!!
