UK, Ella// Fashionista Alert: Be pretty in Paisley - Inspiration for Wardrobe + Interior Design
52 days ago
Paisley is a bit of a mystery print. No one knows exactly which destination Paisley sprouted up from. It's been thought of as generally a British print but was "first seen in early Mesopotamia" (Dan Coughlin, Paisley Museum). When I think of fashion for some reason I have never thought Paisley. It's just not a print that comes to my mind in the first instance. Instead I would think floral print[...]

UK, Ella// Reviving Raffia + Suggestions for Trying the Trend (Mega Inspiration Post!)
272 days ago
Raffia is a material that along with African or Tribal prints has made a return for the hazy days of summer. Hot and dusky-- it's like the material is being used to bring the heat to us here in the UK. We've suffered from rain, rain and more rain. We're already hitting the end of the Spring/Summer season and magazines are already rolling out the Autumn/Winter fashions. We're not giving up thoug[...]

UK, Ella// Lookbook: Cyber Chic A Fashion Frontier!
334 days ago
Kevin Flynn: The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see. And then, one day, I got in! 7 Year old Sam Flynn: You got in! Kevin Flynn: That’s right man, I got in. Tron: Legacy was the 2010 release tha[...]

UK, Ella// Lookbook: Vegetation Prints meets Water World (More from Ella's Holiday in Cornwall)
340 days ago
When on holiday it’s best to be fashionably prepared for all eventualities! We were all up and ready for our next walk at 10am today! We drove to Constantine Bay which is just outside Padstow about 45 miles from Rock. It was lovely to admire all the holiday homes as we drove past and the small towns and villages. You have to be careful on the windy country roads though! I’m wearing one[...]

UK, Ella// Be inspired by Cornish nautical interior design and beach fashion! (Fashionable Vacation Series)
347 days ago
Oh, we do love to be beside the seaside... So during my holiday week the UK saw a heat wave which was just perfect for a family holiday. As we saw at Bristol Fashion Week nautical is always a key fashion story for Spring. However, nautical is always a strong look for coastal holiday homes across Devon and Cornwall. We stayed in a lovely spacious bungalow in a town called Rock. We visited many[...]

UK, Ella// Diamond Jubilee (2nd-5th of June) Fashion Jewels with our London Editor!
367 days ago
The fashion buzz is that Jubilee and Olympic (27th July – 12th August) fashion are fighting for the place of honour in your wardrobe. Perhaps it’s their close proximity and their base in British pride and sense of nationality that is setting this unlikely fashion couple on edge. It seems to be that fashion blogs and magazines are shouting out for the British Fashionista or the Fashionista that lov[...]

UK, Ella// Lookbook: Comic Book Inspired Fashion: Wonder Woman
387 days ago
Casual x Comic Book Inspiration It’s been my aim to reveal more layers of myself through Lookbooks. Whilst being a lover of fashion and all things pretty I’m also a gamer and a lover of all things usually deemed geeky. I love roleplaying, gaming, sci fi, comic books and more. It is something though that generally doesn’t have a specific fashion and not every geek or nerd dresses like the boys [...]

UK, Ella// Lookbook: Fairy Charm and Tartan in Boscastle (More photos from Ella's Holiday)
394 days ago
Not too long ago we drove to Boscastle after stopping at Bossine for a spot of lunch with a sea view. Here nautical is again evident but as I know Boscastle is known for its spirituality I chose to be away with the fairies. Boscastle is a bit like a mini Glastonbury. Despite suffering from the floods it has rebuilt itself and is still a strong tourist destination and a good place to go cliff [...]

UK, Ella// MShed - An Eye For Fashion Exhibition: Bristol's Newest Museum
397 days ago
MShed is Bristol’s newest museum which is dedicated to telling the story of Bristol. It is located in Bristol’s historic waterfront hot spot. They’ve managed to turn what was once an old and barely used area into a modern day delight. The front of the building reminds me of Bauhaus architecture but its slight slant puts it at an angle from the rest of the architecture around it which makes it st[...]
