Checklist // Holiday Essentials

When going on holiday it can be a nightmare trying to figure out what to pack (I'm a well known over-packer!) so this week's shopping list is based on holiday essentials, some key items that would be perfect for that summer vacation, whether your just going away for a couple of days or a couple of weeks.

Trend Report // Splash of Colour

For today's trend report I've been looking at fashion inspired by art, in particular abstract art. Some of the abstract patterns, especially from designers such as Jil Sander, remind me of one of my favorite artists Jackson Pollock. (you can find an example of his work on the collage above!) I will definitely be trying this look for summer...I'm kind of in love with the Zara trousers!! Try just wearing one statement piece for an eye catching look, or if your feeling a bit bolder, try mixing some patterns together for a stand out summer look.
