Designers I Admire

I am a huge fan of designer handbags, and I love the way in which a fashion house can continue to express its classic style through new ideas.

For example, I love Louis Vuitton. Their classic monogram print is recognised world wide and is available in many different styles, yet to update this look, is available in different finishes and colours, making it more appealing to a younger and wider audience.

The classic Mulberry 'Bayswater' bag is iconic in itself. Again, every season, new colour and finish variations are brought out to keep up to date with season trends and the current market.

In terms of fashion, Chanel keeps it simple, yet classic, never straying too far from the days of Coco Chanel and monochrome colour pallet.

No one can doubt the glamour and Britishness of Burberry, and creative director Christopher Bailey gets it right collection after collection. One of the most recent stand out and most recognisable pieces were the metallic trench coats, blazers and bags featured at February's Autumn/Winter 13 show. I can't wait to see the Spring/Summer 14 collection!

Closer to home, I love Topshop as they cater for all styles. Whether your girly girly, indie, grunge etc you can always find pieces to suit your style. I love their pastel collections and their knitted jumpers are always amazing quality too.

Zara always has amazing handbags and shoes that are chic and stylish while being practical and comfortable to wear. It has the feel of a luxury brand, whilst being affordable and accessible to the everyday shopper.
