<\/a>\nA little while ago now I was down in London with one of my favourite blogger girls Tara<\/a> to catch a few press days & for her to do a live Twitter interview with Nica Kim of Nica<\/a>. I’ve been having some laptop issues, and it ended up corrupting a load of the photos I took too, so it’s taken me a while to be able to get this up & is the reson for the lack of outfits recently too. Thankfully I am now blogging from a nice shiny new one, so things should be back to normal again now.<\/p>\n We headed straight to the Nica<\/a> press day when we got there & were shown around the new collection by the lovley Sam before we got to sit down with Nica & talk to her about her brand & how she got started. It’s a great, almost fairytale-like story for a young designer, she won an internship with TLG Brands & they loved her designs so much that in 2005 they decided to give her her own brand & launched Nica. It was so inspiring getting to talk to her & despite the huge success the brand has achieved she is still very humble about it all, which is so refreshing. Check out Tara’s post<\/a> for links to the full interview & some more photos.<\/p>\n The new collection is full of metallics & deep, autumnal shades. Most pieces are avaliable in black too, which I was obviously very happy about, but I also found myself drawn to the blackened berry shade you can see at the back in the first photo & the stormy blue grey with the golden hardware. I practically squeeled when I saw that lots of the new hardwear this season was in the shape of a little fox which reminded me so much of Nico! You all know I’m a crazy dog lady, so it’ll be no surprise to hear that I’ll be treating myself to a few of those when they’re released! Photos by myself & Tara<\/a><\/p>\n We also had a look around the rest of the MLPR<\/a> press day, of which Nica was a part, before heading over to check out Good Results<\/a> too. Kirsten Goss<\/a>‘s gold plated statement brass jewellery was a real stand out for me & I completely fell in love with her geometric cuffs. Princesse Tam Tam<\/a> is one of my favourite underwear brands, they make the best triangle bras along with Eberjey<\/a> so I was pleased to see both of these there & despite my choices in clothing, I love frilly, girly underwear & thought the vintage swimmer print sets were just gorgeous.<\/p>\n One thing I was really pleased to see was a lot of really gorgeous quality fake furs, thanks to Unreal Fur<\/a> & Ruby & Ed<\/a>. I love the look of fur, but real fur is something I have always been very agaisnt & when you have brands now creating such soft, realistic & affordable versions like this, there is absolutely no excuse to go out & purchase the real thing anymore. I’ll stop myself there before this turns into a rant!<\/p>\n Tara<\/a> has been singing Becksondergaard<\/a>‘s praises to me for ages, but I’d never seen any of their pieces until person until now & I have to say, I totally get her love for them now. The printed scarfs are the most beautiful quality for such a reasonable price & I wanted to take home every one of their leather accessories! Tara fell in love with this leopard print ponyhair purse, but I had my eye on the black version, of course. Another brand I hadn’t seen in person before & loved was Twist & Tango<\/a>, I don’t think I really even need to state how perfect that leather jacket is, or how much I would like to own absolutely everything on their rail! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A little while ago now I was down in London with one of my favourite blogger girls Tara to catch a few press days & for her to do a live Twitter interview with Nica Kim of Nica.
