Trendspotting: ss13 All White: All White Trend

 Of course black and white is tremendously trending this season. But white alone is the new black! It's a summer staple; it's light, it's 'pure', it's chic and it's clean. All white is never an easy color to pull off, unless of course it's your wedding day. A lot of people are quite apprehensive about wearing this color but in all honesty it's not an intimidating color to wear; although it does draw a lot of attention, it is one of the colors that imply minimalism.  You cannot possibly over do it. Simplicity is key. A vast majority of the ss13 shows had this trend, I tried not to lean towards the obvious choices such as Chanel and Celine in choosing looks to put up.
White is not an easy color to wear so if you want to create an ensemble, you will find the items you bought thinking were white are actually not as white as you thought when you start to compare them. Some may seem 'whiter' than others. This is absolutely fine as it gives you more options when you go for off white colors or pastel whites. It also reduces the attention to your outfit as compared to when you are wearing whites of the same textures. Also!! Don't over accessorize. Simple jewellery will be perfect.

Styling by myself - I do apologize for repeating certain items. Forgot to pack more clothes. I mean who dares to travel without a go-to white blouse or a classic white tee?? However I did manage to achieve a few looks with the few items I had with me.

The Building Center I

Its seemingly becoming a routine that I spend some me time before another hectic week, and each week becoming much more hectic than the last. I feel I'm slowly attaining my prime- though questionable at times when I look at perhaps how young I am *shrug my prime shouldn't be defined by my earth day. Today's decision to visit The Building Center was after I watched 'The South Bank Show ; Norman Foster' the man behind the Gherkin, The Sainsbury's Center and The Honk Kong and Shanghai Bank (HSBC) on Sky Arts. I enjoy starting new projects but being a person with an extravert temperament I tend not to complete these projects, I've set myself the life long goal of always doing as I say I intend on doing.

I have a project planned and I'm certain it will take quite a while to get into and the research is much more enjoyable than anything to be frank- I love little surprises and I'm beginning to get familiar with excitement- must say its quite pleasantly pleasant. Its so easy to over look the efforts and money put into construction and today was a clear reminder of this. I hope you all enjoy my day out as much as I did. The Building Center isn't so much a gallery but the ground floor is open for all to see, It's basically a portfolio of London's construction projects including our beloved train lines (Is the sarcasm loud and clear there?) the pipe lines and the building themselves. For those that want to know where their taxes go its worth knowing that at least we are paying for some of the most amazing architecture and engineering the world will come to see (though you might oppose to this feeling I have).

 One thing leads to another right? I had butchers around Tottentham Court Road and found this amazingly perfect shop, I'm going to do a second post on this- so I will carry this on later. If you followed me on instagram you would know I have a thing for lines, shapes, space and light - some of the key points of architecture(By the way, I don't study and haven't studies Architecture, I'm just really fond of the disciplines its teaches and obviously the end product)

Much Love,

Ultimate Love | Maison Martin Margiela

My obsession with simplicity has lead to other levels on obsession with neutral colours, and my obsession with designers with an almost set neutral or monochrome pallet as well as all this amazing stuff monochrome and muted colours are on trend. I love how colour isn't so much the focus its more the construction of the piece and the material used. I appreciate good material more than I should perhaps. I feel things like this will lead the great depression reliving it self for the rest of my earth life. Oh well! I introduce Maison Martin Margiela, made up of the man him self and his grande team of designers starting with Ann Demuelemeester, Dries Van-Noten, Walter Van Beirendock, Dirk Bikkembergs, Dir Van-Saene last but not least Marina Yee. Yes, you would have guessed right by now- I am going to stalk each and every designer there and immerse myself in their talents! I found this video on DAZEDdigital and fell in love with the setting, the styling, the models, the lighting, the construction the eerie music- Tres fantastique! *sigh.. Just look!

     

I'm having a panic attack, look. at. my. Maison. Martin. Margeila. Sha'pp'n Lehst! (wish list)

 

Much excitement,
