High Shine Metallics SS15 ♥

High shine metallics and metal colours have recently been hitting up the SS15 catwalks. Metallics can come in many forms, from highly reflective to more subtle metal-like tones, yet all will add a touch of glamour and boldness to any outfit. I personally would suggest that this trend is more applicable to an evening look, however by all means don't be shy to wear it during the day if you're feeling brave enough. As seen in examples below, the likes of Markus Lupfer and Richard Nicoll have been using the trend of shimmer and shine as a dominant part of their SS15 collections.

Hyper Florals ♥

Another trend set to strive in SS15 is hyper florals. Although florals in spring is usually given some criticism - the Devil Wears Prada quote springs to mind. Well, this year is set to bring the spring florals back in and it intends to be just groundbreaking.

With bold, vibrant colours, and large patterns being encouraged, this trend has lit up recent catwalks. The likes of Stella McCartney, Kenzo, and Leonard have all featured bold florals on the SS15 catwalks this year.

Master the Monochrome ♥

As seen at various fashion shows across the globe, monochrome is yet again set to become a highly popular trend of SS15. The timeless combination of black and white masters the look of sophisticated fashion. This trend has been fully supported on the catwalks this year by designers such as Alexander Wang, Victoria Beckham, Carolina Herrera, Ralph Lauren, and many more.

London Fashion Weekend AW15 ♥


   This year I was lucky enough to attend Vodafone London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House, London. For those of you that are unsure of what this event is, LFW is run every year and it is a fantastic opportunity for designers and brands to showcase their work. As an attendee you can not only expect expert style advice and insider knowledge about the upcoming fashion trends, but also pop-up shops, designer shopping, catwalk shows, and hair and beauty talks by industry experts. As a silver ticket holder for the event, I had entry to the event, access to a catwalk show, and a designer tote bag filled with goodies from LFW sponsors. The designer tote bag was designed by well known British brand Pringle of Scotland, who are also celebrating their 200 year anniversary of being in the fashion industry next year. The bag itself was filled with items such as a Maybelline mascara, a gorgeous Essie nail polish, Label M sea salt spray, and more. After collecting my bag, I had the opportunity to browse around the pop-up shops, from brands such as Swatch, Sunglass Hut, Ukelele, and many more. However, the highlight of the day for me definitely had to be THE CATWALK.
 

Welcome! ♥


   As an introduction to my first ever blog, I felt that I should outline the direction I will be taking and introducing myself to you guys on a more personal level.
   I plan for this blog to follow a fashion and beauty direction. I will include posts about current trends, fashion and beauty hauls, product reviews, and perhaps even discuss places or events that I have attended that may be of interest to you. If any of you have any questions or feedback for me throughout, then please do get in contact as I would love to listen to your thoughts.
My name is Evie Lane. I am an 18 year old student currently studying a BA Art degree at University in England. I have always been a creative person and my interests display this. Recently, I have become increasingly interested in fashion and beauty. Creating a blog such as this has always been something I would love to do, but only now do I feel I am prepared and courageous enough to do so.
