In Moda

This past week has been amazing-and hectic- as I've had a chance to see some of the amazing talent that London fashion designers have to offer. London is filled with a diverse, cultured group of people and it was great to see all that diversity and creativity represented in the best way possible, draped over a beautiful person with bright lights and music. If you haven't realized already I'm referring to London Fashion week.

Last Friday to kick off Clothes Over Peoples' LFW we went to the In Moda fashion show in Shoreditch. It was a great show with designers showcasing their astonishing collections which not only made me want to find somewhere to wear these amazing clothes but also made me think about some bigger issues like climate change.

Two of the collections that really stood out to me were the CrysChrisCouture collection and the Clime It Brothers collection.

The CrysChrisCouture collection was full of beautiful and elegant pieces that would make you stand out in any room. I was also lucky enough to meet the designer beforehand and for the first time in my life being early for something- I guess there was some truth in that early bird, worm saying. The designer, Margaret was so nice and still looked amazing even after working all day preparing for the show and barely having anything to eat but some dry bread! Her hard work paid off  as her collection definitely astonished everyone including myself and my sister.

The Clime It Brothers collection was another one of my favourites. Their collection was street wear and so was full of t-shirts and jumpers with stunning prints on them that envisioned polar bears and melting ice caps as a result of climate change. It reminded me that fashion isn't always just done for fun or to make a profit but it is also a great platform to use for bringing attention to important issues that we all need to look at.

Here are some pics of all the other collections including designs from My Address Book and Catomic.

Tarina,

Whats going on everyone? I kept my promise of trying to post every other day. Well this is the first time I'm doing it so maybe I shouldn't get too happy but hopefully I can keep it up. 

This is the first post since we started the blog where you'll be able to see me and T going out together and the outfits we wore. Monochrome is, to me, a timeless style that you can never go wrong with so I like to stick to the basic colors of black and white generally. However on this event I decided to go with a sporty look, after all being comfortable is the most important thing when choosing an outfit and whats more comfortable than some shorts, a crop top and some trainers?

Here's the pictures we took at the train station before the heat and the rain ruined our outfits and more importantly...our hair.

Dark Summer Florals

Hey its Tarina! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been a bit lazy but I'm going to try my hardest to at least have something posted every other day.

Anyway here's one of the posts that you might have seen on the Instagram page that I was meant to put up a while ago. So I dug this dress out that was bought quite a while ago from Asos. Technically it is my sisters dress but I've only ever seen her wear it once sooo being the good Samaritan than I am I thought I would take it off her hands and give it the proper attention that it deserves. Now I've been having a bit of a mesh obsession lately and that's what really sold me on this dress, I love that it's not a typical summer dress. The colors are darker making the dress less girly and bit more Gothic. This also means that it can be worn not only in summer but also in autumn and maybe even winter.

I paired this dress with my black flatform sandals and some dark purple lipstick, which I admit might have been a bit overboard but just because the suns out and it's summer doesn't mean that you have to wear bright colors right?...I'll let you decide!

                

               

 

Dress- ASOS

Not Everyday White

I am big fan of all white this summer but what happened to a little splash of colour?

Sliders are the most comfortable and fashionable footwear right now and instead of going for a plain black or white Nike Bennassi sliders, I decided to go for ASOS very own neon yellow! They make the outfit pop a little more than just everyday white. I also accessorized with a bucket hat, again if you're gonna go all out, simple doesn't have to be completely plain so I went for a tropical print from River Island.

Details:

Bucket Hat - River Island

Mesh T-shirt Dress - Missguided

White Joni Jeans - Topshop

Neon Yellow Sliders - ASOS

Double Denim

This weekend I took a trip down to Southampton to,for the first time, watch a cricket match. Suprisingly the game wasn't as boring as I previously thought, however I'm not gonna become a fanatic anytime soon. Anyway, more importantly is the outfit I wore.

I love the double denim trend, it's so easy to style and always looks effortless so naturally it was perfect for a relaxing day watching cricket. My oversized denim shirt and ripped skinny jeans along with my flatform sandals and black sunglasses were perfect for the weather.

Make-up isn't something I use alot of usually, apart from the basics of course-mascara, eyeliner and of course an eyebrow pencil- which I suppose you could say is a lot of make-up. I prefer to focus on my outfit, after all if your outfit is good enough no one should be looking at your face. However for this look I decided to add a little bit of colour with my red/orange lipstick.

Here are some pictures(excuse the screw face, sun's in my eyes)
