FAIIINT Twisted Dress / Bracher Emden ‘Geo’ Clutch * / StylistPick ‘Eleonora’ Boots * / Ligia Dias Choker

I wore this Saturday night to go out for drinks, this dress has always been one of my favourites that I made during my degree, it’s such a simple dress, but I think that helps the little details it does have really stand out. It’s yet another piece that was inspired by anatomy, this time I was looking at skeletal deformities & the twisting of bones into unnatural shapes. It has a nude silk jersey under-layer with a black mesh over the top & I just love the way both fabrics drape together around the twisted smocking. I still remember the panic of possibly not getting it finished in time, I made it in such a rush just a few hours before my hand in!

I’m still finding my StylistPick boots to be extremely comfortable & I have to say I’m also finding they work with just about everything I own, so this challenge is proving to be quite a bit easier than expected!

You’ve all heard me raving about this Bracher Emden clutch many times before, but I couldn’t resist a close up of it next to the smocking on the dress, I think they look so beautiful together. I still get so many compliments about this bag, my friends have seen it a lot over the past few months but they still coo over it & stare at it whenever I take it out, shop assistants, waitresses & bar maids too always seem to feel the need to tell me how beautiful it is when it’s sitting on the table or at the counter. I must admit, when I’ve not used it for a while, even I have to stare at it a little when I get it out again, almost like I’d forgotten just how awesome looking it is!

Bracher Emden / COVET

All bags Bracher Emden

As I have mentioned many times before, I’m not usually much of a bag person, I will always go for a pair of showstopping shoes over a nice bag. That all changed when I came across Bracher Emden though, their handmade, sculptural bags are like little works of art & I don’t think I could find a handbag anymore ‘me’ even if I were to design one myself. I love the attention to detail & the ergonomic shapes, an indent in a clutch that’s just right for resting on your hand or a scooped bottom on a shoulder bag that means it sits perfectly on top of your hip. Each bag is handmade, so the quality & craftsmanship is second to none despite the very reasonable price tag. These little things & of course the futuristic designs that remind me of all my favourite superheroes & sci-fi movies are the reason I fell so hard in love with them. So, when the lovely Jess invited me down to the showroom to have a look at the collection, I couldn’t say no!

The stand outs for me were the new season white ‘Geo’ clutch with burnt in pattern, the floppy oversized clutches with geometric appliqué in lime & black, the deadly looking spiked lime clutch, the squishy cream tote in ostrich & heavily textured lamb leather & the heart clutches in collaboration with Bora Aksu. Which are your favourites?

The collaboration with Bora Aksu, which comes in 2 styles, the clutch & the large tote is on sale exclusively in the New Designers Accessory Space at Harrods from today & the others are available directly from Bracher Emden.

On Wednesday we were invited to co-host the Nelly & Fashiolista ‘High Heels’ event in Nottingham at Coco Tang. I don’t get to attend as many events as I’d like to, living a little way from London & being unable to drive makes it sort of awkward, so I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to go along to one so close by!

We decided to shoot some outfit photos before we left for the party & it was a good job we did, as again, I barely got to take any during the actual night! We didn’t really have the time to & I always feel super awkward having outfit photos taken when there’s a whole room full of people! Does anyone else find that cringey or is it something I should just get over?

Before & After (+ Slim fit velour One-Piece)!

As with the last party Nelly threw, it was a seriously fun night & the guests were spoiled with yet more free shoes, goodie bags & competitions galore! Personally, I had my eye on the platforms with the ombre heel in red & also the black version, though predictably, I loved all of the spiked & studded styles too!

My task for the night was to judge the shoe design competitions, anyone who knows me will know this is one of the worst things you could ask me to do, I am so indecisive & I felt so mean picking only one favourite, they were all so good! I was also in charge of the One-Piece competition, getting the girls to dress up in a One-Piece & do silly poses for the photographer for the chance to win one themselves! Not wanting to miss out, I pulled one over my own outfit & wore it for almost the entire night! The guys at Fashiolista were even kind enough to let me take home the one I was wearing, though to be honest I don’t think I’d want it back after it’d been worn all night if I were them either!

We had a great night talking to all the girls, trying to decide which pair of heels we liked best & laughing about how silly I looked in my dress & heels + the One-Piece! And I got to meet the lovely Aisling too, who also came along to help! I won’t lie, I’m probably enjoying the comfort of the One-Piece a little too much… It’s not really my thing at all, but I think I’ve been seduced by it’s snugglyness, I’ve barely taken it off since!

Incase you hadn’t already noticed from the layout, black & nude is one of my favourite colour combinations. Nude is usually the closest I get to wearing a colour that could be considered ‘girly’, though I think it has an edgyness to it also, especially when paired with black. I love wearing a nude tank top or dress that is almost too close of a match to your skin tone, add black accessories & I think it looks so striking & beautiful, plus it’s always fun to watch people in the distance gawk at you thinking you have nothing on!

I haven’t been able to stop staring at this Bracher Emden clutch since I received it last week, I think I’m in love. As I’ve mentioned many times before, I’m not much of a bag person, it’s usually shoes that make my heart go weak, but this is a different story. I think in part it’s is due to the strong Sci-Fi feel about it, I’m a huge nerd & love anything science fiction related, but mostly I’m a massive fan of HR Giger’s work & that was my first thought when I saw this clutch. It doesn’t help that I’ve recently watched Prometheus & the Alien quadrology (no, not including those awful Alien Vs. Predator movies!) a fair few times in the last month either! But then adding to that the beautiful construction & the fact it’s part of a collaboration with Jean-Pierre Braganza, one of my current favourite British designers (& I would guess also a huge Sci-Fi nerd!) & I was smitten!

And yes, I’m wearing my Moxham again! I couldn’t resist though, it is such a perfect match for this pleated maxi from Jovonnista, toughening it up & giving it that little bit of edginess that I always like to have when wearing anything overly feminine. I have way too many maxi dresses / skirts already, but I couldn’t say no to this one, the pleats, uneven hem & the ideal my-arm-almost-blends-into-it nude… Perfect!
