Nikoline Liv Andersen

I’ll start by confessing that I have no clue (until now) who fashion designer Nikoline Live Andersen is. As I was scrolling through my Pinterest I noticed an amazing photo and I couldn’t have guessed which designer it was so I did some research and found out that the Danish designer creates pieces of art rather than items of clothing. With many of her designs being exhibited. Her items of clothes many not be that wearable but they certainly are beautiful to loom at and give me a lot of inspiration! 
   
 

    
 

Fashion week alternatives.

If your like me and are obsessed with fashion, then you probably were consumed by your favourite designers during fashion week (from the luxury of my bed…) well then I’m sure there were some times you almost felt you couldn’t live without, that’s until you saw the price tag…. That’s if you could even find one. But it did give me the urge to shop, although I kind of do that all the time anyway. But in this case I was searching for anything similar to my obsessions on the catwalk! So I found some and hopefully they’re much closer to the price range we who watched the show from our laptops would like to pay. 

First of all, the Dior boots. Maybe they were the stars of 2015 but to me they are still the perfect boot (they’re even waterproof……)   
 And for less than a quarter of the price you can get a beautiful boot just like this at Zara.

   
Gucci famous loafer style boot  
I don’t even want to know the price, but here is what I’m assuming is way under the designer price for a still beautiful high quality shoe, again at Zara.

  

Moschino is a huge designer in recent years as there is so much quirkiness and fun to each item. 

   
 So after researching I didn’t want tacky copies but rather an alternative to fill your desire! Topshop have a huge variety of bags and other accessories with a quirky twist.

    
   
It’s definitely not worth giving up on finding your dream item for a reasonable price. Keep researching till you have what you want (well I’m sure you actually need it).

Gucci.2016.

Gucci has always been a show to watch, but this year I feel like it’s really exceeded my expectations. Maybe because I feel it suits my personal taste more, but in any case I’m in awe of the vintage and retro inspiration behind it. Detail was not lacked and each and every piece shone in its own way. But there were a few that really stood out to me! 

   
    
    
    
    
    
 

Autumn wishing it was Winter.

Like every fashion enthusiast out there, we love autumn (Fall) as there are so many possibilities that just weren’t that appropriate for summer, such as a dark smokyeye along with a dark berry lip. Although rules in fashion aren’t there to be followed, one thing that you can’t change (unfortunately) is the weather, for me a huge part in why I just wish it would hurry up and be winter! Winter has the luxury of still being ‘allowed’ to wear autumnal colours but the best thing is you don’t have to take 20 minutes yes figuring out whether to wear a jumper or a coat. Winter means autumn plus fur and more black. Which is why winter is my favourite.

  

Favourites.

As fashion week is here we have had a chance to watch some of the most desirable clothes on the runway paired from some iconic names in fashion and not to forget the designers who have shown there work for the first time in fashion week this year. With huge variety to match everyone’s style yet still give us unexpected colours, fabrics and detail to test us to be bold in ourselves when it comes to dressing. Who are some of your favourite designers? What shows were most memorable? And will you be pushing yourself after seeing the daring looks on the runway? 

Texture.

Money is always well spent on something with texture, obviously everything has its own texture, but by this I don’t mean wool or leather. I mean beading, jewels, embroidery and so many more options. It’s what many designers use to make that one garment stand out.  

   

Need I Say More?

If your reading this I’m guessing the yellow coat may have caught your attention. I mean how could it not, it’s a show stopper! What I’m trying to say is yes maybe we wouldn’t all be daring enough to wear something so extreme (personally I love it). But we do all have our own version of a statement piece, wether that be a chunky necklace, crazy shoes or a yellow coat. And you must admit that when you see it you have to have it and every time you wear it your in love all over again. But you need the courage to wear it sometimes! But I’m telling you to do it, do it today because you’ll feel great once you’ve got it on! Just because you were brave enough to do it! Be daring. 

It’s been a while.

Two titles in one, it’s been much too long since I’ve posted and so much fashion opportunities to write about have passed. Any case It’s also been a while since I’ve seen 70s inspired clothes! So I’m only 18 and can’t say I was there to see it all for myself, but I’ve certainly done my share of research when it comes to vintage fashion yet modern day too! And from that I’ve found so much designers, bloggers, magazines and celebrities are really liking the current 70s inspired trend! From suede A-line skirts to super flared jeans! Some items for me I can’t get enough of such as the high waisted pants! Everything is high waisted! I love it! But the trend really isn’t my favourite when it comes to triple denim……… But some people can just pull things off….. So if your one of those people, go for it! Should we participate in this trend? 

Oh and if you can get to the YSL exhibition, do so because this dress was made in the 70s and just look at it!!!! 

It’s been a while.

Flares are back and I’m not complaining. But remember (probably) non of us are cowboys so don’t take this trend to the extreme. Flared trousers how ever to me are best worn high waisted, they lengthen the legs you wished you had or eccentuate the length of your (I’m very jealous) long legs. If they’re floaty flares always pair it with a fitted top and if they’re jeans or any other more fitted fabric you can get away with pretty much anything. And lastly a must with flares are heels.
