Colour Crush : Ice Blue

As a dedicated monochromist, this is a huge moment for me.

You guys... I have a new favorite colour.

Pale, ice-white blue is all over the SS14 runways, and I cant get enough. A good number of my favorite looks that I pinned to my London Fashion Week board were ice blue, and I just can't get over how gorgeous it is.

And as if I needed to fall even harder, Gemma Arterton was in the October issue of InStyle US in a gorgeously fuzzy Acne sweater, and some snaps of her outside of Holly Fulton's show last September have had me secretly craving a pair of ice blue shorts for months.

So here are a few of my runway and Gemma inspirations, plus a little collection of some ice blue beauties that have caught my eye.

Serious damage to my wallet may or may not be on the horizon.

(And by "may" or "may not" I mean undoubtedly)

Topshop Jumper / Zara Clutch / Vintage Clutch / Topshop Blazer / Zara Flats /
Opening Ceremony Sweatshirt / French Connection Dress / Zara Skirt /
Swedish Hasbeens Sandals / Topshop Tank / RGB Nail Polish in Pool / Zara Bag

What colours have you been loving lately? Share! ... And if you have any other gorgeously ice blue-coloured finds, don't hesitate to share them here ;)

LFW SS14 - Temperley London

It's no wonder a Queen-to-Be is a fan of Temperley London. Her designs encapsulate the modern princess-- a true lady of style, grace, and some damn fabulous billowy skirts.

I mean, the SS14 collection was just beaauuuutiful to look at. I loved the entire thing so much that it was hard to narrow my choices down to just a few. I expect we'll be seeing a lot of these gowns come awards season, and I can't wait to see who wears what!

And an added SS14 show tidbit? Three guesses who did makeup.

Yes, you're correct. Lisa Freaking Eldridge.

If that's not the recipe for a perfect show, I don't know what is.

Breathe, ladies.

LFW SS14 - Erdem

I fell for Erdem after seeing their gorgeously rich floral prints from the Resort 2013 collection. Gemma Arterton (the love of my life, as you should know by now) wore a gooooooorgeous Erdem gown to the Sydney premiere of Hansel and Gretl: Witch Hunters and I still can't get it out of my mind.

I have to admit I was a teeny tiny bit disappointed with this most recent collection. Just a tiny bit. In day-to-day life I am a fiercely dedicated monochrome girl, but this was kind of a black and white overload for me. But still, just about every piece makes me sigh-- so feminine, so pretty, so ethereal.

What did you think of the Erdem SS14 show? Did you miss color too?

LFW SS14 - Burberry Prorsum

Every. Damn. Year. Christopher Bailey you lovely, lovely, genius of a man.

I mean, the show speaks for itself. Burberry has turned out some SERIOUSLY incredible collections for the last few seasons, but this has to be my favorite. No competition. I can't even handle how good this is.

Just give me everything. Please. I dont want it-- I need it. IV of Bailey, stat.

LFW SS14 - Antonio Berardi

I mean, how stunning is this collection?!

I think Antonio Berardi might have created one of my most favorite collections of the entire SS14 season. Every single piece is just gorgeous, and the incredible workmanship is evident in every seam and every embellishment.

Never in my life will I have enough money-- or a proper occasion, for that matter-- to wear a Berardi number, but god... they're just so incredible to look at!

I mean... guh. I die. Such a genius.

LFW SS14 - Mulberry (!!!)

Mulberry.

The most anticipated show of all of fashion month (for me, at least) happened this morning at the gorgeous Claridge's Hotel in London. As usual, Mulberry pulled out all the stops to create a quaint English garden for their showspace, complete with faux-grass, flowers, and a peacock or two. Today's show was also a major moment in Mulberry history: Emma Hill, the increeeeedible creative director that launched Mulberry's first ever ready-to-wear line, leaves her post tomorrow.

I'm really interested to see who is chosen to stand at the helm of Mulberry next! Do you have any ideas?  Just keep the gorgeous bags and catwalk puppies coming, please.

First up, how perfect are these invites?! Super fancy Wedgewood created these adorable mini teacups and saucers emblazoned with the now-iconic Mulberry tree. I would probably cry if I opened up an invitation and found one of these guys.

Well, lets be real. I'd cry if I got an invitation written on a freakin' piece of toilet tissue.

Neither of the above will be happening.

Anyway, onto the looks!

As usual, I'm in heaven. I'm seriously loving that pale, icy-blue colour I've seen on a lot of runways this season, and all-white looks are always favorites of mine. I would seriously buy eeeeeeevery piece that came down the runway, but at the top of my list is the new DOUBLE-SIDED Bayswater (!!!!!!), those embellished white platforms, and that ridiculously gorgeous white architectural short-sleeve jacket.

Oh, and I'll take the pup too. His name is Turbo. Love it.

What were some of your favorites from The Fabulous Emma Hill's last Mulberry collection? Check out all the looks (or watch the show! So good!) over here at the Mulberry website!

LFW SS14 - Holly Fulton

Well you didn't expect me to let London Fashion Week just pass by, did you?!

I'll be recapping a few of my favorite collections here on the blog to share a little LFW love with everyone. I'm unfortunately not fabulous enough to attend any of these shows on my own (dur), so I'll be nabbing pictures from style.com to share some of my favorite looks.

Up first is a new favorite of mine- Holly Fulton! I first noticed her a few months ago when one of my favorite actresses attended her show, and was totally captivated by her designs. So bright and ladylike! This SS14 collection was no disappointment-- I'm already sobbing over a couple of pieces that I'll never be rich enough to own.

 I mean, that last printed dress? The grey printed short-sleeve button up? The sweater with the pink details. Ugh, I die. Starting a Holly Fulton for Molly Fund STAT.

What are some of your favorite Holly looks? Check out the full collection here!

ASOS Wishlist #1

I have a major weakness for ASOS. Like, MAY-JOR major. My Saved Items page is embarrassingly long, and I religiously check the new arrivals every morning. Needless to say, I spend a good chunk of change (and time) on ASOS finds, so in an effort to ease the temptation, I thought I'd share this week's most loved with you!

ASOS Skater Dress in Leather Look  -  Leather and I have a longstanding love affair. After spotting Lauren in this gorgeous DVF dress, I can't stop thinking about nabbing one for myself. I also love that this is vegan leather-- cruelty-free and maybe a little more breathable?

ASOS Azora Chelsea Ankle Boots - Like everyone and their mother, I die for Isabel Marant's Dickers, but those are a bit out of reach right now... not to mention, sold out practically everywhere. I love the aged look of these babies, and they look like they'll go with everything.

Lavish Alice Skater Dress - I'm a sucker for a good LWD and I'm loving the lines on this one. I'm thinking it'll be perfect for winter!

ASOS Apollo Studded Ankle Boots - These remind me of these Gucci heels that I've loved for ages, but better for my wallet, and a boot is a bit more sensible than a sky-high heeled sandal.

ASOS Boudoir Lace Demi Cup Bra - Reminds me of a bra my beloved Gemma Arterton sported for a GQ spread a couple years ago. The delicate lace and edgy straps above the cups will be so fun and feminine peeking out of a slouchy tee.

Modalu Kirsten Satchel Bag - Pippa Middleton is a fan of Modalu. Enough said.

A Question Of Tee - I don't know any boys, nor do I know how to make them cry with my kisses, but this cheeky graphic tee will make me feel like the most popular middle school girl ever.

Lulu Guinness Coin Purse - Oh, Lulu. The things you do to me. Woman knows the way to my heart, which is a red patent-leather lip-shaped coin purse.

ASOS Pixel Heels - With a BFA now under my belt, I've got to get serious about the job hunt. I think these are an edgy, flirty take on the innocent Mary Jane, and perfect for any interview or office.

So that's it! Do you love ASOS as much as I do? What have you got saved in your cart?

Spending Freeze Temptations

For now, I am not allowed, under any circumstances, to spend a single cent. This is incredibly painful and saddening, but it must be done. To help ease the heartache (or just to share my misery with others) I rounded up a few of the lovely things that are tempting me the most on this snowy morning.

French Connection Hawaiian print dress / Topshop Boutique rouched dress / Queens Guard Mug / 
Dior Gel Top Coat  / Forever 21 pointed flat shoes / Topshop Lipstick Print Headwrap / 
Lipstick queen invisible liner / French Connection Sequined Bulldog Tee 

 What's struck your fancy today?

Take Three : Three Floor Bare Neath Peplum

I was recently introduced to a fabulous new fashion brand called Three Floor. Just launched this past November, Three Floor's incredibly detailed, innovative, and feminine designs are making waves across Pinterest and the bloggosphere. After spotting Kristina of Kayture in a Three Floor dress, I had to check it out.

... And fell. in. love. Seriously. I'm obsessing over evvvverything.

One of my most favorite pieces was this adorable pastel and nude peplum top. At first, I had absolutely NO idea if such a unique statement piece could really be made versitile and workable in a wardrobe, so I played around a little and came up with some styling ideas!

Obviously, some of these fab shoes and bags aren't so fab for the college student's budget, but are representative of a lot of pieces many women already have! Black pencil? Check. Patterned trousers? Hello H&M. Leopard clutch? Ca-Learly a 2012 staple.

Now if you, like me, are craving more Three Floor, they are currently having a sale on their website!! I'm going to try not to cry/die/spend all of my money. Also, find them on Facebook!

Have you bought anything from Three Floor? What do you think? I'm dying to know if its as incredible as it looks!
