A few favourites

I thought it would be cool to share some of my favourite designers and their ad campaigns with you.  I think the photos below show my sense of style pretty accurately, and I hope that you too can draw some inspiration from them.  The great thing about these brands is that they are youthful and trendy, and are generally speaking relatively affordable.  


ISABEL MARANT

I fell in love with Isabel Marant a couple of years ago when I was bought a skirt from Aime in Notting Hill (by my one and only Mummy, of course - I think she even has one of the jackets from the very first collection), and I have continued to worship her designs ever since.  And what better choice than Gisele Bundchen for this season's campaign?!  Isabel Marant has the amazing ability of being able to capture a wide range of looks, from the effortlessly cool and beachy to the glamorous (without being contrived) cocktail style.  She really knows what a girl wants to wear.

VANESSA BRUNO

The dress that i'm wearing in the shots below is actually meant to be a skirt!  I saw it in the store and thought that it would make a beautiful strapless dress.  I've even brought it into winter with black opaque tights, a Chanel-esque jacket, a simple gold and silver chain necklace, and black ankle boots with a very high and thick heel and a slight wedge at the front.  That's the great thing about Vanessa Bruno - her clothes are so versatile.

JOSEPH

I adore Joseph because although the clothes are very cool and hip, they are also completely timeless and can be worn forever.  A Joseph piece will rarely go out of style.  






ZADIG & VOLTAIRE

As I am sure you gathered from my very first blog entry, Zadig & Voltaire is probably my very favourite brand at the moment (they produced a skirt so beautiful that it forced me to overcome my black and white fear!).  Zadig & Voltaire is great for staple pieces such as T-shirts and jumpers, and every single item just oozes coolness.  I can't walk into one of their shops without wanting to buy at least 5 things.  They also make great bags, and their perfume is currently my signature scent!  I can't say enough good things about Zadig & Voltaire.

Enjoy!

Until next time xoxo
