SS13 Print: Exotic Bloom

As menswear and womenswear continues to merge into one print has become more of an influence than ever. At the moment I'm feeling this eerie dark bloom print that continues from winter.

I can't stand office attire so sprucing up a drab work shirt with a floral sweater is moist right now. For those more into being a wall flower -just a touch of dark floral print on a shirt collar or placket gives a look more intensity without feeling like an extra from Little Shoppa Horrors.

A brand that takes this trend to a more exotic location using white tees as a canvas for vibrant prints is Illustrated People. Their new collection of T-shirts featuring all over hand print or contrast printed sleeves is pretty sick - available now at Urban Outfitters.

Also available from Urban Outfitters is this quirky print tee by Blood Brothers.

Colour Block Central: Celine vs Clothsurgeon

When I first bumped into our Cara doing the rounds at a local carboot in this divine yet aggressive wool overcoat -I couldn't help but feel a tad jealous.

Panic over. Clothsurgeon have created this sick contrast colour block leather sweater. I want. Created in lambs leather with merino wool finished cuffs. Couture meets Raw. Yours for a sexual £470.

I'm also enjoying these bespoke leather and jersey panel shorts. Complete the look with this red T-shirt in all over leather with concealed zips. £375

Peace and lickable leather

Celine: Laundry Bag Chic

At Paris Fashion Week it was clear to see Celine had taken some granny fashion advice. This season checks, tweeds, tartans and plaids are the dogs bollocks...so it was refreshing to see Celine's recycled-laundry-bag-trampy-chic-couture look take over the catwalks.

Never one to shy away I decided to jump on this bandwagon. Here's my Celine rip off. Retro refined luxury. Team with a vintage Camo coat to complete the bag lady look.

THATCHER: Gone but Not Forgotten

Margaret Thatcher: "What you do is decide the clothes in which you are comfortable. You must be comfortable... Never flashy, just appropriate, well-tailored, and it is not unfeminine to be well-tailored."

Love her. Loathe her. Icon

KENZO: This is SO my life right now.

The Kenzo recoloured leopard print was a highlight of Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013.

Now I can't breathe without seeing copies on the high street in the likes of Topshop. I prefer a bit of the real thing myself. Especially now a collaboration with NewEra sees this dope print splashed all over a baseball cap! Everso partial to that.

Prices are as happy as the embroidered tiger sweaters. See below for my list of picks -all available at www.kenzo.com

All I need now is Kenzo wallpaper. Dream.
