Burberry Prorsum - LFW '14

BURBERRY PRORSUM | LFW | FALL 2014

I think a bit of me died when I laid my eyes on Burberry Prorsum's Fall/Winter 2014 collection; modelled in London Fashion Week a couple of days ago. WOW! So so so obssessed!

It was a light, loose and relaxed collection, producing what seemed like blank canvases absolutely bursting with colour; delicate silk chiffon and lace dresses hand-painted in simple florals and dainty yet abstract patterns. Long and loose billowing scarves were also a prominent feature of the show.

I suspect that Christopher Bailey didn't fail to wow onlookers with the show's casting, saturated with greatly sought-after models, including Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn, Matilda Lowther and Malaika Firth.  At the show's culmination, his appreciation for his stars  was demonstrated by sending each model out for the finale wearing a blanket personalised with their initials.

 I tried to pick out my favourites, which proved challenging as I'm literally in love with every single item in this collection!

I'm not usually a fan of Winter - or even Autumn for that matter. Having been born and bred in such a warm country, I'm definitely a summer kinda gal, and have never really felt like I pull off winter clothes as well as I'd like to. But this collection just made me soo soo excited for Autumn to approach once more and is likely to quench the feeling of  dread that usually overcomes me when I'm hanging onto the fringes of summer come late September! Not like I'll be able to afford any item from Burberry any time soon, but hopefully I can somewhat emulate them and adapt them from affordable high-street pieces...?

Men's street style

Here's another 'set' I made for a Polyvore contest, this time, inspired by men's street style, which I'm totally loving at the moment!

CONTEST - If I were a boy... by juliacoejj featuring beige tops

I need a pair of boyfriend jeans in my life, and I'm on the hunt, so for now, I'm living my desire vicariously through this post. I teamed the jeans with a Burberry checked shirt, a sheepskin jacket and some black Timberland boots. 

Men really aren't given a great deal of attention as far as street style is concerned. If you make a search on tumblr or on the web more generally, about 98% of your results are going to be photos of women. It's understandable: the fashion industry is a world dominated by females and so men's clothing is naturally overshadowed by ours.

But if you take a real look, men are smashing it in the fashion department and are in my opinion, totally underrated.
