I first got to see the collection during London Fashion Week, at McQ’s first ever catwalk show. Then I saw it again, up close at the press days where I got to see the catwalk collection as well as the commercial one – the one which will actually land in stores – and now I’ve seen the lookbook for McQ’s amazing AW12 collection, it’s official: I want every single piece of it.
I love how McQ is really developing into a proper label in its own right, with the first McQ shop opening on Dover Street soon and the collection now available to buy online too. What makes it better than its big sister Alexander McQueen is that I will actually be able to afford most of this! Can’t wait for this collection to land in stores, I’m absolutely obsessed with it! I’ll be the first in line…
I’ve gathered some of my favourite looks from the lookbook below, hope you like it as much as me!
Chances are, like me just a couple of weeks ago, you’ve never really heard of Nelly.com before. Which pretty soon you’ll find quite strange, because the site is about to explode all over the UK fashion scene. The online shopping destination is the most popular online retailer in Scandinavia with over 10 million visitors per month! Alongside their own brands (which are absolutely fab and affordable), they also stock a number of other brands – the Scandinavian Asos, if you will.
They’ve just officially launched in the UK and I got to discover Nelly.com at a launch at the W Hotel a few weeks ago with Finnish Sandra Hagelstam of 5 Inch and Up – who’s currently designing a collection for Nelly – and I fell in love. The clothes are definitely great, but it’s the shoes that had my heart beating a little faster! So, I went back for a closer look… I got a *little* obsessed with the studded shoes from Nelly Trend. Studded flats, heels, wedges… so, so, so many great shoes!
I can’t wait for you guys to start discovering Nelly.com along with me, as I’m sure the site will appear on the blog a LOT more!
Liberty has dropped its second batch of the latest collaboration with Nike today. (Clever people, making me get excited twice!) If I loved the first styles of the collaboration, I think I love these ones even more! They’re less sporty, more lifestyle – especially the Isabel Marant-style Dunk Sky Hi Sport trainers, which have the hidden wedge inside.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve been in a sporty frame of mind lately, but I think the Nike x Liberty collaboration is one of the most exciting ones out there at the moment. Keep it coming!
Red Liberty print Dunk Sky Hi Sport trainers, £95
Yellow Liberty print Blazer trainers, £75
Imperial purple Liberty print Hyperclave high top trainers, £75
