Travels// Pretty Things

If you find yourself in Christchurch, take a walk around the botanic gardens, one of the city's big gems. The garden has a range of different flowers that change variety throughout spring, summer and winter months, meaning no matter which time of year you visit, there's always something to see. These photos were taken in the Spring leading into the summer months, so some of the flowers were being replanted for the upcoming summer.

 I hope these photos give you a little taste of how beautiful these gardens were!!

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.
