Cowboys & Indians: Gucci SS2015

Gucci seem to be sporting a Wild West theme for Spring/summer, going extreme vintage by bringing back cowboys and Indians!

I get a definite Western vibe from all the feathers, neckties, and denim seen on the runway.

I’m loving the creativity of combining high fashion fabrics and patterns with Wild West infusions. Taking the old embroidery, suede and fur but giving it a modern twist.

Double denim is definitely making a comeback! Again, an obvious cowgirl theme being seen here – simple denim and accessorising with colourful neckties. Give them a cowboy hat and a horse and they’ll be sorted in no time!

Ripped Jeans

Personally I love the ripped jeans look. It’s edgy, fun and can easily be pulled off with a simple tee or an oversized jumper. It says “I’m causal and carefree” but can also create a chic and stylish ensemble.
Worn with hightop trainers, classic pumps or statement stilettos, the ripped look can turn around that plain old boring outfit of jeans and a vest and give it an effortlessly laid-back yet high fashion twist.

What I particularly admire about ripped jeans is the versatility of accessorise that can be worn with them. A necklace – chunky or quaint. A handbag – clutch or shoulder. Shoes – flats or killer heels, the list goes on! Either way these jeans can make both a grungy hardcore look, or a sleek and polished one.

Like me, if you’re struggling to find that perfect pair, you can easily create your own by slicing and dicing an old pair that are maybe losing their fit or have faded on the knees – or maybe you can’t wait until pay day! This fast and effective way can bring that old pair of skinny jeans that you have fallen out of love with into the cool, chilled and fashionable pair you’ve been searching the stores for.

The One Earring Trend

Is this new trend of only wearing one earring likely to stick around? Or will it have the same effect as the ‘one sleeve rolled up’ trend that Made In Chelsea’s Jamie Laing has unsuccessfully tried to create which is try hard and quite frankly uninspiring.
Although stars like Emma Watson have adopted the new asymmetrical look, personally I think its all a bit bland.
Brands like Topshop and Zara have embraced the trend by stocking statement, dangly jewels to hang from just one lobe. However I have a hunch that this tacky way of accessorising will soon fade out and hopefully be replaced by something much more elegant!

To me it looks as if the poor girl has lost an earring, or maybe forgot to put the other one in .. either way if this bizarre trend starts showing itself in my local area I will be very amused. At least if you do unfortunately happen to lose an earring or embarrassingly forget to put the matching one in, you can pretend it’s intentional! Maybe that’s how ‘the one earring trend’ started!

Handbag Must Haves

The conversational clutch

Slogan clutches have become quite a craze, ranging from high-street stores like H&M and Dorothy Perkins to supermarkets like Marks & Spencer.
Well known french phrases such as “Tres Chic”, “Moi?” and “Apres Ski” have made it on to the trendy bags, along with popular slogans mostly seen on T-shirts and jumpers like “Going Out Out”, “Ready To Party” and “Love”.
