WOMAN AT WORK

This construction themed editorial featuring Hailey Baldwin is glamourous and reminds ladies that you can be FAB and do work at the same time! I meeean I wouldn't suggest working on a construction site in stilettos and pencil skirts, but I do love this 70's inspired glamour girl look against the power drills, concrete bricks, and signage.

SARAH BARTHEL TOUR LIFE STYLE

Four years ago, I met the talented music duo that was Phantogram. Not only was I a fan of their music, I knew the would go on to achieve great things, and I was not wrong. This year Phantogram has released their 2nd LP "VOICES" (click here to get the album), and it does not disappoint. 

Sarah Barthel is a powerhouse and her style is one that reflects her personal style with a Rock n Roll flare. We love mixing easy wearable pieces with fun accessories and jewelry to give it personality. Brands and Designers like ALLSAINTS, The Blonds, The Laundry Room, Hudson Jeans, and Deepa Gurnani are some of our "go to's" when it comes to fit and style when on tour. Check out some of Sarah's looks while on tour.

SPRING COUTURE 2014 - BEST PICKS

Spring couture 2014 is full of some exciting, adventurous collections from the best designers out there. We've picked some of our favourites so far and first is Valentino's stunning collection. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierepaolo Piccioli have impressed people everywhere with these clothes, with ballerina dresses and more muted, simple designs. It looks like the duo has been inspired a lot by scenery painters, with Piccioli saying "The artisanal tradition strongly relates to the basis of what we do in couture." As the designers absorbed things from their trips to Rome, especially when visiting the opera, they drew inspiration from hand-painted canvases and production design, bringing a new level of sophistication and innovative ideas to the catwalk.

Karl Lagerfeld surprises us all with his Chanel collection, with another stunning set capturing everyone's attention. This set is white and a lovely metaphor for lightness and elegance. Talking about his idea for the clothes, Karl explained he wanted it to be feminine but very boyish. He said "no stiletto, no platforms, no Louboutins!" The clothes were modern and there was a vibrant, playful feel to it as the models ran/skipped/hopped down the staircase. The theme of freedom and being liberated ran throughout the show, even in the darker evening dresses, which oozed elegance and divinity. Colours used were predominantly pales, with a sprinkle of pastels and some metallics incorporated in the outfits, ensuring each element of the show blends well to create a chic look and "a different attitude," in the words of Mr Lagerfeld.

Versace... WOW. Never one to be afraid to try new things or experiment with bold colors and designs, Donatella used daring cuts and riveting hoods on some of her pieces. With singer Lady Gaga (also the star of Versace's advertising campaign) sitting front row as her song 'Donatella' playing, the models began to walk down the runway. Donatella is known for welcoming rock/pop stars into the brand and this season, Grace Jones was a huge inspiration, with the hoods and sensational corsets. Of course, this wouldn't be a Versace show without bright colours, glitter, glitz and furs, so expect to be dazzled when you see the full runway pictures.

Jean Paul Gaultier is the next collection we felt needed to be one of our favourite picks. "Life is a butterfly! So all the collection is that!" are the words of Jean Paul Gaultier, who showcased his stunning line of couture pieces. The ideas were all innovative and brought a delightful touch of nature to the runway, as the chic ladies were then transformed into "showgirls", wearing burlesque style outfits and brilliant corsets. The idea of growth and transformation was prominent throughout and Gaultier never strayed from the theme of butterflies, ensuring there was an element of them in each of his outfits. Silk, mesh and leather were key materials used in this glittering, unique collection that is definitely going to be talked about and admired for years to come.

The final collection is Armani Prive. While we were amazed by all of the Spring Couture 2014, this was another one that was beyond beautiful, with two clear themes running through every look: black and white movies, and his love for Asian culture. These are two themes we know Giorgio Armani is passionate about, as seen in some of his earlier collections. Now, he uses Indian shawls and sari fabrics in a variety of patterns and styles to bring a modern feel to classic looks. All the models had their heads wrapped in scarfs as they walked down the runway, which was a nice touch to each outfit. His evening selection was particularly jaw-dropping, and we can definitely see where he's drawn inspiration from old black and white movies, with no shortage of glitter and sparkles.

Sculptural Silhouettes

Object 12-1, is an experimental project on the multiplication of material and sculptural silhouettes. Here Matija Cop presented this collection while a fashion design student. I love the shapes and texture of her designs. It has a prehistoric, yet modern look that is really eye catching. Well done Matija!

MALIKA IN "STATE OF INDEPENDENCE", PHOTOGRAPHED BY FEDERICA PUTELLI FOR FASHION GONE ROGUE

In this stunning editorial for Fashion Gone Rogue, new face Malika stars in "State of Independence" as she is captured through the lens of photographer Federica Putelli. The curly-haired beauty is sensational in the images, bringing a unique allure and refreshing touch to each shot. In FGR's latest exclusive, stylist Nadia Bonalumi picks out delightful ladylike designs for the model to wear as she poses in this fall fashion shoot outside in this magical, enchanting setting.

As Malika stars in the fall fashion shoot, she wears a range of pieces by high-end labels such as Gucci, Emilio Pucci, Ralph Lauren and Chanel, proving that she has the ability to pull of these designs with class and poise. Teaming up on this shoot is hair stylist Giuseppe Lorusso and makeup artist Augusto Picerni, who work together to ensure Malika looks flawless and majestic. Guiseppe makes sure her curls are light and soft while Augusto creates a glamorous look with her makeup.

What I love about this editorial is the way the model appears so elegant and graceful as she poses in high fashion pieces, but maintains a relaxed, tranquil look in each shot. The outdoor atmosphere also makes it seem mysterious and exciting. It's always lovely to see a new model with the potential to be super and Malika has a refreshing look, a strong captivating feel about her and definitely rocks high fashion pieces with sophistication! She's definitely one to watch in the near future and we love the vivacity and fearlessness in this editorial.

These are just a few of my favorites for Fall, but there are loads more including military print accessories, furs and silver jewelry, big bracelets and earrings in particular. Although these pieces are an excellent addition to your wardrobe, accessories are all about adding to your own unique style so make sure to shop around a bit before settling on items that really work for you. A few bold statement pieces and a few more minimalistic options may be best to give you choices. A girl can never have too many options!
