trends. i can't be the only person bored of' 'trends' can i? i really dislike how fast they come and go. i walk down the high street of my local town and everyone is a clone, it's so un-inspiring.
don't get me wrong, i enjoy shopping on the high street, particularly for jeans and knitwear, i just don't buy into these trends that the majority of the time, are pretty awful (hey, lets wear moustaches on everything!) walking past shops that sell cheap, throw away fashions- all stock pretty much the exact same thing and i wonder, do people actually buy these? how much wear do they get out of them? do women actually prefer spending money on pieces that will make them blend into the crowd and look completely dated come the next year? i'm aware that certain trends keep coming back season after season with a different twist but c'mon, is it just me who is sick of seeing studs, printed sheer blouses, disco pants, crosses covering EVERYTHING and the dreaded aztec?
i'm not gonna bang on about investing in a basic capsule wardrobe either. i like having variety in my wardrobe. i have always been a lover of vintage, particularly the 1960's and more recently the 1990's (a contrast i know, but anything that reminds me of my childhood cheers me up!) i don't pretend i live in past eras, although if i could i would! when it comes to style i am inspired by music, film and tv. my moods vary. some days i feel like dressing a little sixties, some days more simplistic like nineties brit pop, some days just whatever's easy.
i'm a fashion design graduate. i don't necessarilly love all designers but i have always had a huge appreciation for quality- a garments construction, fresh ideas and something technically executed well fascinates me. as a stylist i don't feel i need to follow the crowd. if something i like is on trend thats cool but i always like a bit of individuality and personality in what i'm wearing too.

i guess i'm just trying to say wear what you love, what you enjoy and what makes you feel like you. not just the same thing that everybody else has, after all, who wants to be a sheep?
now, please hurry up summer! i'll leave you with some pictures that i like
i wish i had this dress so much
nice!
