River Island - Spring/Summer 2011...

It feels strange to be bringing SS11 to the table whilst there's snow (well more like sludge now) covering my street. But hey ho seasons shmeasons, these are some shots from the River Island Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook. Can't say its got me that excited. In fact i'm starting to wonder if i've picked up photos from New Look rather than River Island...not that that is a bad thing. Maybe R.I just can't trump their impressive A/W collection.

I'm seeing some designer inspirations within the pieces...Marc by Marc Jacobs with the multi coloured stripes. Rodarte with the tassles. Chloe with the Camel vs Denim.

Some other pieces from the lookbook clearly influenced by the 80's and Miami Vice with crisp white blazers and flourescent pink and purple trousers and top combos. Which is not for me. Also a lot of full A-line floral skirts - cute. Typical, but cute.

I'm a tad concerned about the cut on the polka dot jumpsuit, i mean, really? Although the feather print trousers and slouchy vest will be on my hit list for Summer.

What do you think of the lookbook? Everyone knows it's all about Topshop in the Summer anyway so....

Diesel/Elle event...

Just a few pictures from the Diesel/Elle Magazine event at Selfridges last Wednesday. A casual affair including Champagne, mini cupcakes and goody bags. (woop!)

The event included a fashion show around the womens streetwear floor - and pixie lotte, randomly, not involved in the event just generally being all over her boyfriend and probably getting free stuff. I got a few paps in there anyway!

After a glass of bubbly - or two - i indulged in a browse around the concession, unforunately not buying anything. Funds are minimal from my Christmas shopping! Although i did spy a gorgeous leather jacket in there! I also didn't buy anything in Browns Focus on South Molton Street - Just a slight perv on all the pretty Ashish and Mary Katrantzou. Swoon.
