Fashion: Zara S/S 12

As the Autumn/ Winter 12 collections hit the runways this month, the high-street's S/S collections begin to hit the rails. 
After having some time to kill last weekend while waiting for a friend, I headed to Zara on Oxford Circus.
I don't generally shop in Zara as there isn't one near me but that's probably a good thing as I could of spent a small fortune.

Whether your after a 20's style dress, a floral print shirt or pastel accessory, Zara and TRF S/S 12 collection encapsulates the most coveted looks from the runway at a fraction of the price.






I think it's probably best for my bank balance to not shop at Zara at the moment but come pay day I may have no control over my actions :)

Fashion: The roaring 20's

I recently went to watch Midnight in Paris, not really knowing what to expect as most of the reviews I read tried not to to give away the plot-line (so I apologise in advance if I give away any details if you haven't seen it already). 

Now I will admit some of the story may have gone a bit over my head with certain references but one thing I truly loved was the fashion. Especially as it was from one of my favourite eras, the 20's. 

Ahh the scalloped and handkerchief hemlines, the embellishment, the hair and of course dancing away to the charleston. 

It's a trend that i'm happy to say is making its way back onto the fashion scene once again and I bet it will continue into 2012, especially when The Great Gatsby remake is released next year. 

As the party season is upon us i've seen a lot of gorgeous 20's style dresses on the high street. 

Sequinned and fringed to perfection, if i had a christmas party to go to this year (or just money would do) I definitely would choose something 20's inspired.
