Oh hello leather earphones...
Wednesday 26 June 2013
I don't even use earphones that much, but if I had these I think usage would certainly increase! The perfect ear accessory :) Lots more beautiful styles on the Molami site. Twine is a full on headpiece. Genius!

Dr Martens leather shopper
Monday 24 June 2013
New bag from Dr Martens! Gorgeous, simple, structured leather bag. Have used it every day since receiving it and lots of compliments which is always nice :) Not sure many people know that Dr Martens have loads more than just shoes? I certainly didn't before visiting the new store in Brighton. Worth checking out if you haven't been in already!

White on white
Friday 21 June 2013
Thought I'd share one of my outfits from last week with you. This is what I wore for the Zeitgeist show at Brighton Fashion Week. Edging slowly towards a fully white outfit soon! Although I think there should be just one thing to break it up like different colour shoes or bag. What do you think of the all white trend?

Alexa De Castilho
Thursday 20 June 2013
Alexa De Castilho's Rio Discotheque collection has got me feeling ever so slightly unstable. I must own it all! The pieces individually are of course all fantastic, but would you just check out the first pic up there☝?! All of it on all at once- FABULOUS. So, to start my collection which should I save for first do you think?
Here's the inspiration behind the collection which I just loved reading;
"DISCOTHEQUE is inspired by growing up in Rio in the 70's
- secretly watching grown up parties from the stairs; glamorous people, leopard print sofas and zebra cushions
- making camps under banana trees in the tropical garden, darting hummingbirds
- my beautiful mother in over-sized sunglasses, lounging by the pool sipping a Caipirinha. Her layers of gold necklaces and her many gold rings
I weave these memories into treasures for others to wear. I have created this collection with love and the knowledge that, even simply dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, the wearer will feel a touch of the heat and the glamour of Rio."
Available on Alexa's site or at Nola Boutique, 42 Gardner Street, Brighton.

Triangular
Monday 17 June 2013
New ring from Urban Outfitters. Not sure how long it will stay gold for £8! Love the style of it so will enjoy for now. I've found lots of nice real gold and silver fine rings on Etsy so think I'll order one of them soon.

Dr Martens launch party
Sunday 16 June 2013
Last Wednesday I was invited to the opening of the new Dr Martens store on Brighton's Prince Albert Street. It was a great evening! Myself and Style Memos contributor Emily Sneyd entered to find a buzzing atmosphere with Tuaca & ginger beer, live DJ and shoe customisation for making your newly purchased DMs individual to you. I wasn't aware that they did clothing and accessories as well as shoes and there were plenty of both to peruse. I particularly liked the tie die shirt and leather sleeved bomber jacket, but settled in the end on a Dr Martens sturdy leather shopper that I haven't stopped using since! Oh, and the kids range - so cute!
After some fun in the store, we then headed across the road to The Mesmerist bar for more drinks, Boho Gelato chocolate & Liquorice ice cream and live music.
Don't forget to enter the Dr Martens street style competition for your chance to win £300 worth of DM products. More details here.

I ♥ neon orange
Wednesday 12 June 2013
I've been loving my new neon nail varnish so much recently it spurred me on to get cracking with that neon + plywood project I been wanting to do. Very happy with the result! Most of my home surfaces or accessories are grey, white, black or wood which provide a great canvas for the neon to glow.
And can I just say how lush is my new Kirsten Goss ring?! I won it! Via the fabulous Natalie Hartley's blog which you must check out if you haven't already. Loads of great trend lead posts and styling tips from the InStyle fashion editor herself. Stop by Kirsten's website too- so many covetable pieces...

Brighton Fashion Week 2013!
Monday 10 June 2013
Post by Style Memos contributor Emily Sneyd
This is it guys, Brighton Fashion Week 2013 kicks off this week and I
can barely contain my excitement. After a steady stream of successes, BFW
continues to grow in stature – the fashion is always as innovative and eclectic
as Brighton is and it's a great week for new and emerging designers to cut
their teeth on the catwalks and get propelled forwards into the wider fashion
industry.
This year, St Bartholemews, a gorgeous neo-gothic church in the centre
of Brighton, is the runway venue and will provide a stunning and atmospheric
backdrop for the three catwalk shows.
The Zeitgeist returns as the headliner show and is my personal fave for
showcasing the more avant-garde collections. Originality and impeccable
tailoring are the perfect combo. Having had a good snoop at the lineup, the
designer I'm most keen to see is Aimee Matthew-John. She's a central St
Martins' grad with some time put in at Acne studios (LOVE) and she's debuting
at BFW with a women's-wear collection based on embellished men's suits with some
cool twists.
I'm also excited to check out Major London 05. Designer Nav Bains is showing a collection using colourful eccentric prints
that take inspiration from 90s hip hop trends. It all looks extremely wearable
and especially perfect for summer.

I'm also hoping that I'll be sitting near
enough to the runway that I can sneakily swipe some Belles Bejewelled jewellery
straight off the models as they strut past – Rebecca Pearson's laser-cut
statement pieces look wonderful.

After Brighton-based Jess Eaton's standing ovation last year for her
'Roadkill Couture' collection, she is returning to the Zeitgeist this year with
her new collection 'AIR', using recycled parachutes. My mind was blown last
year so I'm very intrigued to see what she's been up to.
And if we're not too exhausted after that, we have two new shows to
look forward to this year! 'Sustain' is solely dedicated to showing sustainable
and ethical fashion – my eyes will be on Rebecca Jayne Taylor with her
high-fashion sportswear collection. And the final catwalk, 'Showreel', will
present some of the best in costume design from stage and screen. Although I'm
not as wired for this one as the other two, my interest has been piqued by
Sarina Poppy and her 1920's femme fatale offerings – I'm still caught up in a
romance with 1920's stylings since seeing Gatsby.
It’s also worth noting that with all the fashion aficionados flocking
to Brighton this week, there is sure to be some cool street style to gawk at
while out and about. Now, what do I wear!?
