To Fedora or Not To Fedora

If there's one thing the Made In Chelsea girls know how to do well, it's pull of a good fedora. Although it can be tricky to find just the right hat for you, the versatility and variety of this piece has led more and more people to catch onto the trend. The fedora adds an air of sophistication to any outfit and to be quite frank is a life saver on those bad hair days! I recently invested in an olive green fedora of my own while in Portugal and am happy to report that it has been a great addition to my wardrobe!

Eyes on Adam Gallagher

Although we don't talk about men's fashion doesn't mean that they're not appreciated and as proof, our next blogger of the month goes to Adam Gallagher. 

Fashion Week Round-Up: Milan

With New York and London behind us, and Paris still ahead of us, Milan drew our undivided attention this week. The catwalks did not disappoint, providing a spectacle of colour, cuts, and textures.

Blazers + Trainers = Rarely A Good Look

I tend to write about emerging trends that I personally love and hope to see more of. However, over the summer, I noticed a somewhat worrying trend emerging primarily among adolescent girls. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a good attempt at 'smart casual' but this trend is totally misguided. Chunky Nike trainers do not belong on the same body at the same time as a nice tailored blazer. For a more put together look try some fun skate shoes, like those pictured, in place of trainers. As we begin to transition into Fall, I hope we've seen the last of this unfortunate combination!

Fashion Week Round-Up: London

Following the splendour that was New York fashion week, London took to the stage in order to show us their prediction for SS'15. Unlike it's predecessor, LFW chose to tone down the extravagant style and opted for more colour and wonderful tailoring. More shows strutted in flats than 6-inch heels letting us know that next season you need to dress down in order to dress up.

Duck & Waffle

I'd been dying to go to Duck & Waffle all summer so on my final day in London last Wednesday, Bisi and I thought it would be a fitting farewell and ventured down to London's East End. 

Fashion Week Round-up: New York

New York Fashion Week brought the start of a fantastic month for all fashion fanatics, with all the shows and the people attending it looking as gorgeous as usual. Here we summarise our absolute favourite looks inside and outside the showrooms. As Spring/Summer looks were being showcased, many of my favourites focus on feminine elegance with a touch of edge.

Riding the Bus with BB Bakery

If I were to describe my reaction to the afternoon tea bus, confused would have been an understatement. I looked at it, questing whether it was a special event, maybe a wedding or birthday party. After a double-take I spotted the back of the bus where the concept was advertised and knowing full well I too could be part of this fun red bus ride, I called Bundi and told her to check out the website. After getting her seal of approval, we booked 2 seats. 

Kurobuta (Marble Arch)

With the intention of having a romantic dinner date for two, Bundi and I headed out to Kurobuta by Marble Arch.

Journey Through Portugal: Lisbon, Sintra, Evora

 The high street brand is making us feel not so high street after they dropped their new collection a few weeks ago, and we couldn't be more excited...

Nicki Minaj - Stripped Down

Nicki & I have had our ups and downs over the years. Her debut album, Pink Friday, quickly became one of my favorites but once her schizophrenic alter-ego Roman came out to play, I called it quits. However, "Pills N Potions" has now been out for a few weeks and I'm loving the resurgence of a new 'stripped down' Nicki. Her natural-ish hair and make-up combined with stripped back vocals truly showcases her talent without relying on gimmicks. Don't just take my word for it, give it a listen!
