MATCHES SS13 PRESS DAY

Sorry for the lack of posts! Work has been consuming my life recently, but I did manage to get out to attend one very exciting invitation that I have been meaning to share with you for over a week; the Matches SS13 Press Day at their lovely home from home, No. 23.

Needless to say it left me feeling super excited for all of next seasons pieces (and similarly very depressed as I wanted to leave with all of it!) See my favourite picks below; Louboutin accessories, loafers and brogues by Fendi and Kenzo, and neon jewellery and prints everywhere inbetween! Thank you for having me Matches! (and thank you iPhone 5 for saving me when my DSLR busted 5 minutes before I got there.)

I need this Givenchy clutch in my life now. I can see these being everywhere at forthcoming fashion week street style shots, cue TommyTon!

In love with these Diane Kordas lightning bolt pieces, black diamonds!

Kenzo loafers!! I say no more. 

Amazing new summer denim by the very best; Paige, J Brand, Current/Elliot and more!

How cool are these Fendi brogues?

Stacks of eyewear! I want the Pierre Hardy clutch at the bottom!

One of my favourite trends from the press day, all for androgyny! 

Beautiful McQueen clutches, as always. 

Love this MSGM dress, the neon print is really wearable.

Spot the insanely cool Louboutin stud iPad accessories! 

And to save the most coveted until last... the infamous IM sneakers are back again! Stars on the Bekketts this year! What do you guys think?

GILES X MATCHES

My Hallowe'en at No. 23

Last Thursday I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Matches' beautiful home at No. 23 Welbeck Street, for the preview of their collaboration with Giles Deacon, (on Hallowe'en no less!). The rooms within No. 23 were transformed to create the perfect Hallowe'en scene, from the decorations to the food to the waiters it was a setting so appropriate for the Giles x Matches collection (check out the dolls in the bird cage for one).

Giles has designed a capsule collection of dresses, accessories and homeware; including linear T-shirt dresses, sundresses, chinaware and notebooks, all of which are hand-drawn illustrations based on a series of dolls created by the designer. 

My favourite pieces had to be the iPad case and the dresses; love the digital print and the colours!

The Giles x Matches collection is available from the 13th November at Matches Online. Until then, keep checking out the amazing designer pieces dropping online each day! (Warning, add to basket syndrome may occur.)
