Fashion Targets Breast Cancer

FTBC launches on today and has become the UK’s biggest charity fashion campaign, helping to raise money for pioneering charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The collection has become so much more than just a charity collection, there are some really key pieces that are trend led and I would wear. 

Each item carries a minimum 30% donation to Breakthrough Breast Cancer’s life-saving work.

British brands on board include M&S, Debenhams, Topshop, River Island and Laura Ashley.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime so Breakthrough's mission is to stand together and fight it! - “Buy It, Fight It, Wear your Support”

Here are my faves (ALL available at Topshop for £2 each)

Or check out their website to put money towards a good cause.

I LOVE

Kitch and Honey Press Day

Held at Vanilla on Great Titchfield St Kitch & Honey showed a great selection of brands.

My personal fav is Pret a Portabello  which displayed its usual array of cute tea dresses and vintage inspired numbers. I loved the tees too and appliqué pieces - beautiful as ever. 

One stand out brands though is Chlobo a fabulous range of silver jewellery. Perfect for all people's styles. With peace signs and cute trinkets, but new for summer is the Dreamlands collection with a positively aquatic/spiritual feel. A range of blue, white and amber stones set off with evil eye charms and buddhas. I love - buy it here http://www.chlobo.co.uk/

Finally the amazing Charlotte Taylor. Beautiful printed dresses, trouser suits (in adorable parrot prints). So tribal, I adore! www.charlottetaylorltd.com

Summer Sandals

Recently when trying to pack for my holiday - I was faced with a dilemma - which sandals do I take.

The options were as below

The winner? Primark obviously with there white leather Marni'esque sandals! Fabulousy fashiony without the price tag!

Future Fashion at Westfield

I popped down to Westfield recently and came across Future Fashion - a great celebration of fashion in the hub of the shopping centre. Usually I can't bear all these events mainly as I see them a lot in my job, but it was a great example of interacting with the consumer.

Everything from a 3D catwalk, mood board creators, a mocktail lounge, beauty masterclasses and more! And all for free.

I snapped a few pics - a really great idea.

Hols

So I'm off on my hols tommorrow - great times in terms of mid spring trip - bad times in terms of body not REMOTELY ready to be revealed to the world.

So what the hells does one do when faced with this? A swimsuit becomes a godsend. Now we may all think that swimsuitsr turns you into a massive granny or remind you of that dreadful swimathon you had to take part in at school but ACTUALLY its kind of gone all cool.

Take 'We Are Handsome' as an example - The Romantic 2012 range is to die for.

Stocked on Net-a-Porter it is a little luxe for my budget constraints with prices starting from the £200 mark... So I've trawled the high street and found a few bits much more in my price range!

£35 from Asos.com

£55.20 from Ted Baker

Left to Right: £32 and £34 both Topshop

With any of the above you can defo rock a one piece on the beach this summer without channeling O.A.P
