MUI MUI SPRING/SUMMER '11 COLLECTION (had to be in capitals cause its beautiful!)

Here's a scrumptious taster of mui mui's collection.






I gotta express my love for the oversized leather jackets, with a few solid block colours perfectly shown effortlessly on it.




                



Spring is showing a lot of 70's pleats and this collection with over knee length dresses. This beautiful satin red dress is the ultimate LRD (long red dress).




The 60's inspiration of block colours are shown within this lustrous dress, again with the repeatition of pleats stating a fashion trend for this spring and summer.




With the intricate and detailed neckline and resting loosely on the shoulders this shows how spring/summer should be. Time to get those arms and legs back out for these feminine designs.

Just for the record, I love fashion and style, which are two very different things....

Okay, So firstly where I live in the UK I feel pretty cool expressing myself individually and most importantly differently than too other people. One of the many things i have willingly learnt from 'Luella's guide to Englsih style'. I have read exactly 35 pages out of 362 and Luella KNOWS what she is talking about which has inspired me soo much in just one day!
I admit I am a fashion obsessed and LOVE to follow trends BUT when I see another person wear the same style clothing as me I ditch it. I like to be the first to wear something on trend, if not i carry on with my style and shop for future trends or just the vintage style that I truly love and not because someone else likes it. I never ask for someones opinion apart from my own and ok my mum but we just know. :)

But since reading Luella's book (not a guide as she clearly states in the intro) aha i have been influenced and inspired to throw out my whole wardrobe and decide to make my own clothes! Although, i will keep the ever so edgy leather skirt and the grunge rock tee, but those are the essentials of a style identitty wardrobe.

So keep being different! It's what makes you amazing, always remember that :D
Lots of love

An item each week...for years and years to come!

I've recently started a weekly sewing course with my mum!
It's really great and we basically choose a project and make it in that week or over the following weeks. So when i have finished the item of clothing which i've designed i will post pictures up of it and me modelling it. Also the process of me making my fashion piece.

Lots of love,
