Fashion shows always create a buzz, but as tonight is my debut at Manchester Fashion Week, here is a special post featuring my outfit of the evening, made by me! My 6 outfit collection is inspired by the senses, in particular the loss of sight, so here is a sneak peek featuring 'blind' prints I created with my eyes shut & opaque layering, as worn by me...

MeetMySpringTrends

A new season, inevitably means new trends flooding in from one direction or the other. Today I tackled the in-between trouser trend of the culottes. Not a wide-leg trouser, neither city shorts, the culottes are all about proportion, styling them with the perfect length on the top half and the correct height of the heel to lengthen the cut-in half calves. To create the right proportions, I tucked in my full-length jumper to form an over-lap, creating a feature at the waist. Drawing eyes down to the soft pleats of the culottes with my long decorative pendant, colours are complemented through the prints. Let's just hope for a flash of springtime weather to match the leg exposure!
