What I wore Skiing

Last week I was lucky enough to go on a skiing holiday with mine and my friends family to the French ski resort of Meribel. Known as "The Heart of the Three valleys" it definitely did not disappoint with a great range of slopes for me (I'm most happy on a blue run, one up from beginner) and the town of Meribel is really lovely for a bit of shopping and eating French cuisine after a days skiing (and great people watching!!).

Meribel.

anyway, onto the outfit...

My Mum and I

Jacket - Superdry "Scuba Carve Hooded Jacket" (Superdry recently launched a "snow" range, and after using it for a week, I would recommend it for intermediate skiers)

Salopettes - Wed'ze (Affordable and good quality) from Decathlon.

Ski Boots - Rossinol (most comfortable ski boots I've ever rented and they were super comfy!)

Here are some pictures from the week.

BRANDED FASHION - LOVE IT OR LOATH IT

BRANDED FASHION - LOVE IT OR LOATH IT Brand logos are extremely popular with current Instagram bloggers and their street style, but they continue to divide the fashion community as a question of taste. Many people wrongly judge their fashion aesthetic around how much their outfit costs, and designer logos are an immediate way to communicate that to the average passer by. Personally, I like the look of a logo, so long as it positively impacts the outfit and is not done to "show off" the brand. Many people feel that any brand logo is done to enforce the brand on others, but if you look deeper than just how much that item of designer clothing may cost, logos are a good example of iconic graphic design, and I personally love the look of a logo (if done *classily*). The first logo to outwardly show a brand name was the monogram print of French trunk maker Louis Vuitton. In 1896, Louis Vuitton's son, Georges created the pattern in a bid to prevent counterfeiting of the...

DIY: Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Personalisation

DIY: Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram Personalisation Louis Vuitton has a personalisation service whereby you can get several stripes, as well as 3 initials painted on some of their bags and accessories in the Monogram and Damier Graphite canvas prints. I think the designs are screen printed over the canvas (because they are so flawless and are very uniform) using special pigment before being varnished, so I decided to try it myself! Louis Vuitton's Passport cover with Mon Monogram Sadly I don't have the means to screen print myself, so I decided to paint them instead. You will need; Acrylic paint, I find the vibrant colours and white look the best (Acrylic paint is very hardwearing so will not need touching up very often) Paintbrushes (the smaller the better) Tape (to get crisp lines, frog tape works really well) Something to paint on (a cardholder or pencil case are great, but you could do it on pretty much anything) A pencil (to draw out the sh...

Fur in the fashion industry

Fur in the fashion industry: Friend or Foe? F.U.R. The three letters that, when under that syntax can completely divide followers of both fashion and animal welfare. Once a highly regarded material in fashion that epitomised luxury and comfort, it now holds controversial connotations. Personally, I find fur extremely difficult to wrap my head around. Fur has been used in clothing since, most likely the beginning of time. Cavemen are likely to have used the hides from animals that they killed to eat as protection from their artic, pre centrally heated winters. The key here is that, for them, the fur was a necessary by-product of their eating habits, they didn't kill the animals for their skins, but for the flesh. Skip forward thousands of years, and by the 1980s (arguably earlier), fur was no longer a necessity for warmth, but a symbol of wealth and "style", used to trim coats and jackets with no other use other than being simply aesthetically. The majority of fur, 8...
