Austique Boutique - Chelsea, London

I originally came across this gorgeous little boutique via instagram. I Think I was trawling through pics under #boutique as that's a hashtag I seem to be hammering at the moment! When this shop popped up I decided I had to visit it whilst I was in London attending the Stylesight trend seminar.

There is actually 3 of these Austique stores dotted around London. I think it makes a refreshing change seeing stores like this amongst the massive high street fashion giants. Don't get me wrong, we all love a good bit of Topshop in our wardrobes! But these sweet little intimate stores remind me of one's I visited in the past like Pompidou in Australia or Rac in Toronto. I'm glad to say that England seems to be catching on to the fact that we need independent boutiques on the high street. They re-connect us with real, one off, fab shopping experiences.

The style and layout of the Chelsea branch of Austique was stunning. The cabinet that the jewellery was displayed in was a master piece in itself. I loved the table layout you meet when you first walk into the store, butterflies in frames sit amongst cheeky knickers by Cheek Frills.

 They carried brands such as Camilla and Marc, Zimmerman and Alice and Olivia along with their own label which has some great printed pieces, see their own brand at their website here. They also do a great selection of beauty products like Paul and Jo make up and Essie nails. 

If your in London, this store is well worth a visit:

Chelsea – 330 Kings Road, London, SW3 5UR

Rianna Phillips AW13 - The Lookbook

So here it is, the AW13 lookbook. One of the most exciting collections I have ever put together. The range follows the ever continuing theme Organic:Synthetic. Imagery ranges from extremely natural crystal formations to man made metals literally photographed in tool boxes.

Travel seems to hold massive inspiration for this collection.The main source being a recent trip to Australia. Trapped within layers of prints are jelly fish found on the shore at 'The Pass', Agate photographed at 'Crystal Castle', and geometrical patterns captured from the passenger seat as we drove down Warrego highway. A turning point in this project was the experience had at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. The clash of the sky scarpers against the ocean was a view never to forget, beautifully illustrating Organic:Synthetic.

A collection very close to my heart

Digitally Daze

The top pic went on Instagram a few weeks ago. When the new digitally printed silk scarves arrived I felt I had to show off how FREAKIN MASSIVE they are! They are HUGE!

So here is one in focus. 

The Arnham print. 

Also available in a mini clutch bag and mini pouch.

The new scarves are all made from premium habotai silk and measure 50 by 50 inches.

I'll be taking the Darwin version away with me on holiday next year to use as a sarong on the beach but also as a blanket during all those airport change overs. And it will obviously be a great way to brighten up a winter outfit. Multi purpose luxury :-)

Get the Arnham scarf at the eboutique here

Paramount - London

Whilst on my trip to London last week I visited a great bar right near Oxford Street, i've probably stared right at the building before without a clue there is a viewing deck inside with waiter service and amazing cocktails! If you live in Manchester I suppose it's the Beetham Tower (Hilton) equivalent.

It was handy being able to pre book, as me and @KT_Millar  had just been to a trend seminar down the road at the Fashion Retail Academy; we simply gave our name at the door, they put us in the lift and next minute we were in the bar with the most fantastic view of London. We were lucky enough to catch the sun setting, which really was a fantastic view from where we were sat.

Paramount bar, inside the sky scraper building Centre Point is well worth a visit if your in central London.

David Koma SS13

I love embellishment and beading, when i saw the white on white beading in this range I thought WOW!

Love the mix of fabrics, the beading and colours.
