May Favourites

Last month was a bit of an overwhelming one as months of hard work, sleepless nights and tears boiled down to the moment when I handed in my Final Major project. I moved out of my student accommodation in Epsom, Surrey, and said goodbye to the University of the Creative Arts upon completing my foundation year. […]

The Denim Pinafore

There’s one thing I’ve learnt since buying my denim pinafore: they are just so much fun! Long sleeves, short sleeves, collars, high necks; the list of styling possibilities is endless, making them so suitable for any season and occasion. I most enjoy dressing my denim pinafore down with this boxy tee keeping the look casual for the […]

Art and Design Foundation Final Major Project

  After three gruelling, tiresome months, I have finally finished my foundation degree in Art and Design at UCA, Epsom! A few all nighters, one hundred and ten servings of coffee, and numerous challenges later, I felt relief when I finally handed in my final major project last week. But that’s not to say I […]

Spring Wishlist – Best of the Petite

Shopping for clothes can be a hurdle to jump when you’re on the petite side. Of course, most things are too long, but clothes can look swampy and bulky as well. I love how more and more brands are showing awareness for different body types, and the petite fit is becoming more and more popular for […]

What I wore to London Fashion Weekend

Victorian frills, turtle and roll necks, this Winter I’ve really been getting into the high neckline trend. I recently discovered this lightweight crepe high frill neck dress in the ASOS sale and it was one I just could not resist! The loose fit allows the polyester to hang softly over the body, gently creating small […]

The event celebrates the end of the prestigious London Fashion Week, exhibiting high-end designer stands to shop, industry talks, makeup experiences and runway collections fresh from LFW’s catwalk shows. Beautiful floral embroidered suede jackets would […]

Up to Date: Foundation Year

Since settling into an entirely new world at uni, I’ve been a little AWOL on the blog lately. In September, I moved to Epsom, Surrey, where I am studying an art & design foundation diploma at UCA. Having never lived anywhere other than my tiny seaside hometime, of course it took a little getting used […]

Collection: Hanae Mori SS16

Maintaining the signature theme of Hanae Mori’s brand, Elegance, the butterfly fluttered its way into becoming the main source of inspiration for Yu Amatsu’s SS16 collection. Traditionally, the butterfly icon represents transformation as it undergoes the process of emerging from the cocoon, its whole life changing as the former caterpillar discovers such grace in the hands […]

McQueen: A Play Inspired by the Life of Alexander McQueen

Fashion genius, Alexander McQueen, contributed abundance to the industry’s identity. Creating masterpieces, he bewildered us with his formations, stunned us with his distinctive collections, and most of all, captivated us by the sincere wonder and amazement of the mind behind these true works of art.

Collection: Givenchy SS16 (womanswear)

A fully monochromatic runway show with complete refusal of even a pigment of colour can easily look underdone or a little plain or just simply too monotonous. It can feel boring and dull with not even an ounce of colour to brighten the collection. But not Givenchy’s SS16 runway show. If anyone could pull it […]
