migh-T

So this evening I was taking a look through Young British Designers, to see if there were any nice new designers I hadn't come across on there. 

I eventually stumbled across migh-T who is one of my new favourites.

The designer Kumiko Watari established her brand migh-T following her graduation at St Martins and passing with a distinction! 

The concept for migh-T comes from 'Mighty Strong' and also 'My T Shirt' and is for 'people who have a strong mind and who enjoy being unique in their lives'

Check out some of my favourite AW12 migh-T pieces in the images below -






Alice Dellal for Chanel


I adore the new ‘Boy Chanel’ handbag campaign featuring Alice Dellal.
It’s great to see a slightly unpolished shoot in comparison to their usual highly glossy campaigns.

Tacky Tastic

Not the most stylish of blog posts, however I think these are totally cute!



I love all the sparkly gems and cute Hello Kitty faces!!!!





Vintage Versace

Scarf prints, vintage leather, glamazon supermodels and fierce sexuality... All words that summed up Versace from the 80's through to early 90's.

I desperately want to acquire some beautiful vintage Versace!

The images below remind me of how brilliantly fantastic Versace truly was.



Finger Curls

The 1920's for me makes me think of immaculate women with perfectly groomed hair. One style that was frequently seen was finger curls!

I adore this cute neat style! See some images of beautiful neat finger curls below.

Scarf Prints!

Okay, I am officially a woman obsessed with scarf prints!

Especially clashing ones together! Oasis have an amazing selection of scarf print pieces at the moment and have been working in collaboration with Nicky Albrechsten who is the author of 'The Printed Square' - The book that coincides with the current Fashion and Textile Museum Exhibition.

Please see some lovely scarf prints below -

Damien Hirst Tate Modern

Thought I would do an art post today, following my visit to the Damien Hirst exhibition at Tate Modern.

I didn't go to the Damien Hirst exhibition as a huge fan of his work and I must admit it was more curiosity that got me there!

I will start by writing about the things that I didn't like. Room Two was the room that horrified me the most. Mainly because it consisted of a severed cow's head surrounded by congealed blood, rotting in a tank full of live and dead flies. Needless to say this freaked me out.

We then moved through into Room Three, this room contained various things in formaldehyde, a cow cut in half - that was a bit stomach churning - and also the floating shark, that actually didn't freak me out as much as I would have thought . I found it quite fascinating that something so terrifying could be so vulnerable in a tank.

The room I did LOVE was the one full of live butterflies. This room was beautiful and it was amazing to have live butterflies fluttering around! 

It was also a nice change to all the gory death that had been inflicted upon me in the other rooms.

So I know that was a brief description of the exhibition, but I don't want to ruin it for people that haven't been yet!

In conclusion, definitely go see it. It may not be your cup of tea, but totally worth saying you've been.

Oh and by the way... there's no pictures, as I wasn't aloud to take any!
