Fall Inspiration

Posted on 29 August 2013

Fall is already here and I would like to pinch some on my own ideas for fall/winter fashion.

Most of you already know, this blog is not all about what-to-wear-to-look-cool, this is not my thing I pretty much never know what to wear for special events or dinners. But what I most defiantly sure about is when I see colours/shapes/patterns, which attracted my attention, I know I will look for something similar in stores to purchase.

Here are some moodboards that inspired me and I hope it will inspire you too.

J.Crew at Regent's St.

Posted on 3 July 2013

Looks like J.Crew really loves London and the reason is - Regent's street store 1st outside the North America!

Maybe I don't look like a girl, who would ware this type of clothing but I still think J.Crew is amazing when it comes to casual luxury and comfortably of the clothing. This brand is very preppy, crisp, graphic and clean - like upgraded version of GAP and what makes this brand unique and loveable is the simplicity of how stripy jumper, wood baseball cap, ankle boots and boyfriend jeans could look amazingly fashionable too. Sounds like a plan for autumn to me. Right now take a peak to the latest J.Crew looks for autumn/winter and just try to make something out of it. Why only high heels and leather leggings (ew ew ew , and one more time ew for them) seems to be one-way fashion?

Let go back to London store at Regent's Street which is planning to open in October 2013. And, oh boy, J.Crew really pushed themselves to this first store outside North America. Looks like this is one of the reasons why Conduit and very end of Regent's streets are become shopping meccas of London.

Can't wait for this store to be opened! Take at look yourself too, you might find something that will inspire you to look in fashion as more affordable and comfortable way.

This year Art Car Boot Fair is celebrating 10th annual anniversary and inviting every single on creative soul!

Even if don't study or haven't been recently graduated from any creative industry courses, you still will be able to find something what could make you giggle a little, surprise, make a tweet about it or just simply have a nice Sunday outdoors. The fair will be held in Brick Lane Yard Corner and Buxton street 12-6pm on 9th of June, Sunday and entry cost only 5 quid.

Blake, Turk and Emin are is some of the British artist that could be seen in this great Art Car Boot Fair.

Art - this is what you think when you walk around Buxton street in Brick Lane. This time pop art legend Sir Peter Blake will be creating a special print to mark the occasion with all profits going to Just for Kids Law, Kids Company and Help for Heroes equally. The wonderful spirit of the Art Car Boot Fair gets a fresh injection of talent every year and all artists are hand picked to let their hair down and flog their fabulous art from their car boots! You’d be hard pushed to beat it!

Oh, the beauty of simplicity!

You might ask what is RODIN olio lusso? Let me spell the answer for you. Is a collection of five exquisite elixirs for the skin, lips and hair. The key components in each chemical-free product are essential oils, derived from flowers and other botanicals, that are legendary for their soothing, softening, glow-giving, emollient and protective properties. Blended together they engage in a beautiful synergy that results in suppleness and radiance for face, body, lips and hair, instantly, immediately, with no fuss, no multi-step treatment regimen. Sound fantastic isn't? Sold at beauty, fashion, lifestyle and bed-and-bath retailers around the world the RODIN olio lusso beauty collection is a twenty-first century approach to easy, off-the-cuff luxury for the on the go women of all ages who seek touchable, dewy, light-reflectin skin and luscious-looking hair. This amazingly advertised product is all famous fashion bloggers and celebrities item on the beauty shelf at their homes.

Only super luxury retailers would sell these magic oils. Retailers to go to in London if you decide to buy this expensive miracle, where prices waves from 20 pounds for lip balm to 97 pounds for luxury face oil, are Cult Beauty, Naturisimo and of course Liberty at Regent's St.

Rodin Linda is not that type of woman, who would hide under her product. That's what she says about her sense of style and herself as well. "I am the lowest-maintenance person I know. I don't labour over how I look". In her sixties today, Rodin is the model of spare elegance: tortoise shell eyeglasses, ballet flats and natural silver hair puller back in a ponytail. It's this natural, devil-may-care brand of beauty that won her modelling jobs when she moved to Italy to study at age eighteen. Her home is the most full of details, small statues, mirrors, boxes and thing you didn't even know existing. Personally I don't know how long I would be able to live in this type of home. Maybe a day, max - 3 days.

She recently did a campaign for Karen Walker Eyewear with other powerful ageing-less women as Ilona Royce Smithkin, Joyce Carpati and Lynn Dell. But I will cover this up in my next post!

The Times Rich List is probably the most desired list of the year. As a fashion student my biggest interest goes to top fashion millionaires in United Kingdom list. Surprisingly or not the number one is uncle and nephew created brand - Primark with 6,6 billion pounds. Galen and George Westons proofed that fast fashion retail business, where pair of ballerinas cost around 3 quid, has customers readiness to buy two of same pair even if they don't need them. But I'm here to talk about other subject which come into my notice - internet retailing. According to The Times Rich List Nick Robertson with his fashion retail ASOS.COM rocked by 28% in the three months to the end of February. Roberson, 45, founded the London-based operation and not he has a 256 million pounds stake and other assets. The interesting bit is that on year 2012 his online empire earn just 155 million, when after one year the income increase by 123 million pounds. To put this is amount of money in perspective you could buy bizzillion Primark dresses!

ASOS, on number 18 in fashion rich list, not only had a amazing success in the past year but they also collaborate with well-known fashion brands like 7 For All Mankind, Chloe, Love Moschino, Michael Kors, Vivienne Westwood and many many more. What is exciting about this internet retail website is the amount of people who are willing to buy and sell their clothiers in here. YES, SELL! ASOS has created a platform called Marketplace (makes sense) where anyone, anywhere in the world, can sell fashion, to anyone, anywhere in the world. ASOS simply take 10% commission when the item sells at the price you set. So, if your's selling skirt cost 10 pounds the Marketplace commission for you will be only one quid. Moreover, ASOS has place for small fashion business or brands to show off as well called Boutique, obviously commission goes slightly high (20 per month and there is 20% commission payable on every sale). Still, ASOS has increased and helped so much for young fashion designers and brands beginners to be successful in their first steps. This idea is useful for all of three parts: customers buy eutectic, limited edition fashion pieces, Boutique increase income and sell to their audience. ASOS probably wins the most - they get more clicks on the website every time someone enters Marketplace, the Boutique owner monthly fee and also respect from both earlier mention parts - customers and small business owners.

ASOS generally shows for all of us how customer are getting more and more interested in online retailing. Young people are looking for something more unique, something that makes them stand out, something that will be noticed and unreachable for other, not in terms of money but in terms of not knowing where to find certain items. So ATTENTION FASHION VICTIMS! I'm awarding you all with list of great and not that great online fashion shops. Grab it before it's gone forever.

Me and Neida decided to go for a little shopping in centre London, so I just grabbed my new Canon Lens and took few cute shots of Neida during the day. The outcomes was surprisingly good. Must mention that I fall in love with Paul's cafe! A hundred times better than Starbucks or even Costa. Boo you, fake coffee makers! I probably shouldn't even start describing the range of yummy cakes, buns, muffins they have there. Honestly, I want to visit other & better coffee bars and cafes.
