Contemporary Jewellery by the fabulous Shimell & Madden...

The Cuboid Collection...

I came across this beautiful contemporary styled jewellery the other day, designed by artistic mathematical duo designers, Shimell and Madden of London. Their latest collection is called The Cuboid Collection and as you can see, it's based around the simple shape of a 3D cube, with their inspiration being to; capturing simple symbols of dimension and perspective. 

Based in Shoreditch, East London, Shimell and Madden occupy the space where craft, art and fashion intersect. Makers of jewellery and objects, they explore ideas of science and time. Their geometric style has a sense of balanced beauty, defined by its aesthetic precision and sensitivity to material.

Shimell and Madden also create private commission work for people and continuously work with photographers, creating large fashion pieces for photo shoots. With some recent work being showcased in the August 2012 issue of Mayfair Magazine

I myself, particularly love the simple shape and structure of each piece with its parallel lines and clean geometric shapes; they remind me of a modern day art deco inspiration brought into the modern day era through 3D designs.

You can see more of their amazing work at Shimell and Madden with their brand new collection launching before Christmas and an exclusive gold and diamond collection launching early next year. Shimell and Madden also have an exciting new website in the making with plans for customers to be able to purchased items direct from them online.


For now though, The Cuboid Collection is exclusively on sale until 2nd September at The Metric Summer Shop, 94 Columbia Road, London, E2 7QB.

Lust for Leather - Autumn/Winter 2012

Lust for Leather...

I purchased a leather biker jacket from Asos around 7 years ago now and OH MY has it had its fair share of wear.. I think I have worn it around this time of year, every single year since then.. It has taken me from one trend to another and is probably one of the most versatile things in my wardrobe. I do still love it, like the day that I purchased it.. And if I'm honest, I'll probably still wear it in 10 years time if it fits me.

This article below shows some fantastic leather pieces available on the high street this Autumn/Winter.. I absolutely love the main picture of the model wearing the leather dress by Autograph at Marks and Spencers for the great price of £69. Love how it is styled with the extra long gloves and sexy black ankle boots, making it look more high end designer than high street fix.

As this article highlights, leather is still going to be in high demand this Autumn/Winter and I'm a great believer that if you buy leather garments that are basic and not too overly fancy. They can be a really good investment to your wardrobe collection and something that you can easily slot into a range of different Autumn/Winter trends that can still be worn year after year. Leather has been around for such a long long time and it looks like it's here to stay... Yay!!

The Big XXX Jumper Dress!!

New Jumper Dress by Matalan..

It's soon going to be that time of year again when we are begrudgingly reaching for our warm chunky knitwear, as the ever so predictable cold British Winter time finally sets in.. However, being warm can also be cool and fashionable.. And this amazing jumper dress by Matalan is the perfect piece to add to your Autumn/Winter wardrobe. I love it's oversized monochrome feel and cool retro pop XXX logo. Mix it up with these amazing bright blue suede boots by Ravel for an Edie Sedgwick 60's vibe..

Available this Autumn/Winter at Matalan and Ravel

GREEN

The thing with this weather is that it's so beautiful and warm out in the sun, but still too cold to be in anything sleeveless. So today called for something that's a little more transeasonal.

I decided my lightweight, 3/4 sleeved jumper in a bright colour was my favourite choice for a Monday morning.

 

Jumper/Top - Zara

 

Shoes - Wanted

LEATHER & STEEL

One of the options for Amanda Keller on set of "The Living Room" last week was this one, made of leather and stainless steel plates. Amanda absolutely loved this one in particular and brought it for herself!

I love that it ties up around the back of the neck and is able to adjust to perfectly suit any neckline of any top or dress. It's definitely made to make a statement and really is so unique in the accessories world.

Take a look at more of the Toby E range on the website - http://www.tobye.com.au/

A/W 2012 - Metallic Jaquard

Shine Your Way Into Next Season..

One trend I am very excited about for Autumn/Winter 2012 is the jacquard metallics trend.. It seems wearing a sequin dress, skirt or top is just not enough anymore and a clashing of textures and prints, including metallics and jacquard is the way to shine shine shine this Autumn/Winter. I purchased myself a jacquard jacket from H and M in the sale last week and now I can't wait to whip it out for a clashing!! This article below shows a selection of high street must haves available in stores this Autumn/Winter... Especially love the baroque high waist shorts by River Island £30.

FROM ST XAVIER

A couple of weeks back, I found this amazing accessory label called from St Xavier.

The collection is full of coloured stones and worn looking metal, mostly in gold. There are loads of crystal studded cuffs of amethyst, black onyx and many more! My kind of accessory. You can also find some crystal filled neck-plates and rings to go style up any outfit!

I sourced these for a filming session of "The Living Room" for Amanda Keller to wear. You may have seen them on the show, but here are a few I took before taking them off to the studio.

Keep your eye out for some From St Xavier accessories, they will be launching in time for Summer 2012!

LESSONS LEARNT

This is just a little something I felt like writing...

For those of you who don't know, I have been styling fashion for the past two and a bit years. Before that I interned and worked at various fashion companies and have put my heart and soul into everything I do. I absolutely LOVE my work, the good and the bad bits to it.

This industry is a mixed up one for sure. It is hard to break into and surely a challenge. Probably more so than any other. And as weird as it is for me to say, I actually really like this. Sometimes I wonder if the industry wasn't so different, up and down, full of chasing something, making a contact that you must make, finalising a great job that happens to be a rare gig, dealing with such a variety of people all in different roles and of different egos and always going through some sort of change, I wonder if I would be so into it? It's not just about the shoes and the clothes. It's about business and people and creating something special with fashion. And the feeling of an exciting job or new challenge, making another group of great contacts and seeing a vision come to life, playing a great part (and the most fun part) of that vision of a job is SUCH an accomplishing feeling.

This past year has been my biggest, business-wise. I have gained more work that I am enjoying, have met lots of interesting people with great experiences and am feeling so happy about where I am and what I am doing. I have learnt to be assertive when it comes to my work, share my ideas and create some really cool things. Most of all, I have learnt to block out the negatives and go for what I want.

I have so much creativity going through my mind and the business skills to go with it. I feel some good things coming...

I really do appreciate the following from all of you who are reading this. Thank you for reading this blog, I hope to have lots more styling work to share with you on here! Also, thank you for your likes on my Facebook page, the followings on Tumblr and all of your support! Please keep it all coming, it makes me smile :)

SO FAR

I have been really busy this week working on a brief for David Jones! Early morning starts and late afternoon finishes have required my most comfortable ensembles. Of course, I still wanted to look the part!

So, the past two days this is what I have been styling myself up in...

Monday - some light neon (that is hard to see on the computer), the bluest denim and some stripes.

Top - Minkpink

Jacket - Zara

Dress - Sportsgirl

Tuesday - I am absolutely in love with these jeans! I just want to wear them continuously. I styled them with simple silver accessories and a blue top.

Denim - Portmans

Do It Yourself - STUDS

Stud Yourself Silly..

Why pay more for fashion when you can do it yourself and feel the creative reward.. I decided to buy some do-it-yourself studs and collar tips off Ebay this week, as I have loads of plain shirts/tshirts/dresses I can easily customise.. The studs and collar tips cost me around £5 for over a 100 pieces, which is alot less than paying for a garment with the studs already in place!! It's a great way of customising your own things and you get to decide where you would like the studs to be, so you can create your own simple or more extravagant designs.. I particularly like studs on bags at the moment and I have a little denim number from American Apparel that I'm going stud up next!! :)
