Mary Kate & Ashley

I have always been a fan of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen ever since I can remember, and for the past 2 years my friends and I have been trawling the Internet in hopes to find a website which streamed one of my favourite movies of their's 'It Takes Two.' Thankfully, Amazon saved our what seemed to feel like a life long search, so we ordered it online and spent an evening re-living our childhood whilst feeling extremely nostalgic.

Mary Kate and Ashley decided to swap their acting careers and pursue a career in fashion with their fashion labels; The Row, Elizabeth & James and StyleMint. They have always been fashion inspiration for me, and have developed their own individual styles. Ashley depicts more of a simplistic, elegant, natural style, whilst Mary Kate tends to aim for a more edgy, bohemian, grungy sense of style.

Summer Sandals

During my Dissertation writing breaks, I have been trawling the Internet in search for some Summer sandals. I've found that Zara, ASOS and Topshop have been the best, in terms of price and style. I've always loved espadrilles, and worn my navy Office ones religiously for the past couple of years, which have now sadly ruined, due to wearing them in at a festival last Summer. 

Whilst visiting Topshop the other week, I noticed their white two-tone leather espadrilles which seriously caught my eye. I also love the two tone taupe peep-toes from Topshop, which would go perfect with a pair of plain black jeans, tapered trousers or a pair of high waisted vintage denim shorts. 

With the weather getting considerably warmer, I'm starting to get overly excited that Summer is approaching, however it will be impossibly hard for me to be prepared to ditch my 6 pairs of black wintery boots (yes I have a black boot problem) and opt for the open toe sandal. 

Topshop Two tone taupe and white peep-toes £32

Topshop Shiny beige leather slip on, espadrille sole £39.99

Topshop Black leather peep-toes £32

Topshop White espadrille shoes £45

Zara Leather sandal with metal detail £39.99

Zara Leather white ankle strap sandals £39.99

ASOS black and orange sandals £40

Celine has been a major inspiration for many of the high street stores, in terms of their 'slip ons' and 'slipper' type sandals. Not to mention, the camel coloured oversized coat below, with the camel coloured open toe slip on sandals is personally a perfect look!

Supermarket Sweep

The A/W '14 Chanel collection at Paris Fashion Week had to have been by far the most talked about show over the past few weeks. Karl Lagerfeld turned the Grand Palais into Chanel's very own Supermarket. Shelves were stocked full of lots of Chanel goodies, and trollies were being pushed around by the likes of Joan Smalls and Cara Delevigne.

The collection consisted of candy pink tweed suits, metallic accents on jeans and leggings, silver quilted jackets, oversized coats, dogtooth prints, oversized knitted jumpers and knitted crops. Massive pearl necklaces and chains were used for accessories which added to the theme of the collection.

The overall collection displayed a very Pop Art vibe, depicting a very fun and playful atmosphere, which all tied in extremely well with the theme of the show.
