Vintage Prints

It's all in the detail.... 
 

Dainty little floral prints and on trend collars. These covered buttons make it all the more special.

This is from Engine Number One at 1 Cheshire Street London E2 6ED (no web site I'm afraid)

I bought this T-shirt from Ark Vintage in Cambridge because it looks like Pucci (but it was only £11!). 

It caught my attention because of its bold psychedelic print.  What can I say, it drew me in....  

I wear it all year round.





 


Take care with vintage though - some stains and smells never come out.....

Prints Please


Take a risk this season with a bold print!

Prints Please!
Right now I'm all about prints!  I've always been hooked.  This season, why not be inspired by Nature, futuristic lines and florals in all manner of colours...

Print trousers can be hard to wear, so keep it simple with a plaid print.  Otherwise choose 1 or 2 accent tones from these gorgeous H&M boots or a pair of print shoes to plan your whole outfit, that way, they’ll be the focal point.  Don’t forget they’ll look amazing with indigo or black skinny denim or black velvet cigarette pants.  

Also, don't be afraid to print and/or colour clash (yes, even in the same outfit!) to create a unique style statement, this can be done by adding a print jacket over a print top!

For cocktails, make an entrance in a bold print dress like this one form Oasis with its dramatic angular lines, it will be fabulous with a pair of patent shoes with the highest heel you dare to wear….
