Lucy Jay Scarves



Absolutely loving this new line of scarves Lucy Jay! I personally can never have enough color in my wardrobe but  for those of you who opt for a more muted palette this is a tasteful way to incorporate a pop of color without feeling uncomfortable. You have to branch out sometimes & not be afraid to experiment with new looks, never know what you'll come up with(I'm preaching to myself on that one)! I love the simple all white 90's theme used for the look book, lace tops, loose-fitting dresses/skirts and amazing platform shoes seen here all flow well without detracting attention from the striking scarves.

Dividing her time between London & Wirral designer Lucy Jay graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a degree in Fashion Design last summer. Inspired by a mash-up of ideas, Jay's debut collection of scarves are visibly alluring with colorful patterns that resemble something you would see if you glanced into a kaleidoscope! Each scarf is digitally printed and made of silk measuring 90cm x 90cm (about 35 in.). The multi-functional scarves Irene, Bryan, Lucy as seen in the look book pics are named after the designers close friends &  family. The Patrick scarf was recently seen at Selfridges as a part of  Supermarket Sarah's final pop-up shop wall display Clash Mash!

You can follow Lucy's journey via her blog where she documents her life as a designer!

Annelies Timmermans S/S 10



Turbans, head wraps I want it all for spring, I think I'm going to try to tackle executing this chic trend. It's partly why I'm so in love with Belgian designer Annelies Timmermans Spring 10 campaign. This is not my first time featuring Timmermans, but the last was a very brief intro to her line of luxury leather bags. I was immediately taken by the styling of the S/S 10 shoot. For Spring she aptly uses light colors like acqua ,pearl & beige with a pop of red in a supple elephant print leather. Produced completely in Italy a variety of leathers & techniques are used this season, ecco tanned leather handles & hand dyeing are just a few that make the line even more desirable .

After doing a little research I learned that each bag in the spring collection is named after a mythological god(african,asian,& european origin) with some attribution of the god incorporated into the design. There are also 3 subcategories furious, nature & zeus that coincide with the various characteristics of the mythological gods. The Donar bag resembles a bolt of thunder visibly influenced by the Germanic god of thunder. One of my favorites bags in the line -the Marpe made from pvc reminds me of water, a fitting contrast to the predominant leather. Please visit the site to view the complete collection!
