Ellie Ellie Wears - Day to Night Outfit

London Fashion Week is kicking off today and Ellie Ellie is honouring the huge fashion event in the capital this week with an outfit that can easily be transformed from a day to evening look.

A simple cream long sleeved blouse can go with any outfit, whether day time or evening and teaming it with these monochrome trousers from People Tree makes a great statement and insures the trousers stand out! Simple loafers such as these Rebel Vegan Tassel Loafers will work really well in the day time, and you can easily add a heel to transform this outfit for an evening event!

Finish off the look with our Ellie Ellie Artist Pencil Silver Stud Earrings for a pop of colour and an unusual touch!

Swimming caps are BIG, would you Adam n' Eve it?!

We love swimming it’s a great way to stay in shape, without actually having to deal with going to the gym! To us the word gym, just smells of pain and swimming reminds us of sunny holidays and cocktails!

Givenchy took Paris Fashion Week by storm last week. Lisa Armstrong, fashion writer for The Telegraph described the ending applause as ‘rapturous.’ It was hailed as one of the most emotional and moving shows seen in recent time, a feat for the brains-behind-the-force Riccardo Tisci. We loved his fun lovingly real take. With sweaters featuring Bambi to sharp leather, lumberjack shirts and in-your-face florals, the collection was simple divine. 

It was not only sensational fabric creations that caught the imagination; the main talking point was the model’s unusual hair styles. Each model was seen with short hair, pinned into tight swirls and spray died in block colours. The ‘swimming cap’ style was on the tip of everybody’s lips and propelled Givenchy into becoming one of the most talked about designers (that and the fact that America’s new ‘super-couple’ Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were sat in his ‘n’ her attire on the front row..)

We love Tisci’s fun take on the vintage style swimming caps that have been the court jester since time began! I know they say fashion comes back around, but this is taking it to new lengths! 

Be interesting to see if Kim Kardashian is seen rocking the cap look on her next beach get-away as a new Mum. Maybe she can give Kanye and their babe one in different colours? Now if that doesn’t spell a new fashion line, I don’t know what will. 

Kanye and Kim laughing at the fact their shoes match too.

We're GaGa for Safari!

Milan fashion week just wrapped, and after all this cold weather, it’s no wonder favourite collections were bright, colourful and summery.

Max Mara brought out an incredible safari range, with an oversized, loose silhouette coupled with sleeves rolled up often nearly to the shoulders.

Camels, beiges and the rest of the usual desert colour suspects were cut into blazers, pencil skirts and safari jackets- turned- dresses, with the odd flash of a bright floral print.

The headwear and shoes reflected the collection perfectly, with turbans a prominent accessory- a brave choice if worn outside the runway. (I bought one last summer, and have not worn it since…)

Safari is a card played for every spring, and can seem to be repetitive, but is always a classic look for the warmer months. Most of Max Mara’s show could go straight into stores too, making the collection definitely ‘ready to wear’.

Lady Gaga rocked the Safari look on her recent trip to South Africa and tweeted the photos to her fans.

She followed this by saying she had cut a hole in the top of her safari hat so she could stick her pony-tail out of the top! That’s what we like to hear- a bit of customisation!

The scarf pictured was apparently a gift from the Princess of Monaco!
