I love Daisies read her shirt

When I was a young fashionista I followed each seasons trends and fashion shows religiously, I always wanted the next big thing (if I could afford it) and would get excited about the Vogue catwalk special to see all the next big trends, which I would covet using high street and vintage items.

It then became less about the seasons must haves and more of a realisation (thanks to discovering The Face magazine) that I loved styling up outfits and just wanted to wear what I wanted whether everyone loved it or not. I made my own clothes too which meant I didn't have to just put up with what the high street had on offer and made my look even more unique

These days I just dip in to whats going on on the catwalks usually through blogs I read, people I follow on Instagram, a quick look on the Vogue website or scanning through (rather obsessively) my ever trusty pinterest boards. I have collected thousands of fashion imagery over the years and always want to share my findings with you but pinterest moves faster than I can blog! 

The Marc Jacobs Spring Ready-to-wear 2018 collection caught my eye whilst I was browsing through Susie (Lau) Bubble's blog, Style Bubble. I  just loved the big hippy-trippy retro flowers, I've not been a flower print lover for a few years but these bold and bright beauties remind me of my nineties youth where big daisies covered everything from belts, dresses to De La Soul's '3 feet high and rising' album. I just loved daisies when I was a teenager! The extra surprise were the super cute sequinned flower embellished fabrics in real bright colours, adding a little glamour to this fashion mash up.

The next things noted were the head wraps, worn big and up high African style, I love head wraps but I have a tiny head and no hair to wrap it around, you have to wrap about twenty scarfs round my head for any effect! A great alternative to a woolly hat for the winter that will work all year round, give it a go!

The bright coloured and extreme oversized rain macs and knits look great worn big and slouchy, perfect for keeping you real warm and cuddly for the winter months especially when layered over a poloneck and shirt for triple protection against the elements!

There is a nod to sportswear with voluminous tracksuits and sports anoraks worn with the poloneck and shirts buttoned all the way up ensemble and it looks like bumbags, socks and sliders are here for another year. Who's waiting for spring? This collection can inspire you now!

The key pieces for a Marc Jacobs inspired transitional winter wardrobe

Head wraps 

Worn big in bold colours and bright prints (wrap headscarves and shawls around your head and play around with it).

Bright coloured, oversized knitwear 

Worn over fitted shirts

Voluminous Anoraks 

Pulled in at the waist with a bumbag

Voluminous trousers 

In bright colours and big prints, roll them in at the bottom to create a carrot effect think more hareem than a baggy All Saints 90s girl band vibe!

Daisy prints 

Look for vintage or retro inspired items. Good luck, I haven't seen any yet! The high street will be full of them by Spring!

The Accessories 

Urban Sports influenced bumbags, Duffel bags and cross body bags covered with keyring charms, worn all at once, Mesh ruffled collars and boas worn as scarves and as bag accessories, big earrings, beaded bags and details and that amazing head wrap.

Spring get sprung!!!! Part 1

It's been a busy few weeks at the No Debutante headquarters which has sadly meant no blog posts! Waaa! Well, after a weekend of running my club night Bang, DJing and playing in my new band Mono Dots, I have entered a week of fashion events, as Bristolian designers start to release their spring summer collections, and we all patiently wait for the sun to come out and spring to get sprung!
This is a two-parter post as there are so many No Debutante personal fashion posts for March. 
Expect a very new look in Part 2. Think Pink! 

I cannot express my obsession with Monki this season! The prints, the shapes! 

Monki actually quite like No Debutante too as they chose the above photograph to go into their #Monkistyle gallery! Thanks Monki!!

Culottes are great transitional items. Wear yours with socks and boots during the colder months or with sliders and a tee when the sun is out.

Get into that spring mood and wear your denim with bright colours and fun prints

Oversizing is your friend....Do it!!!!

All clothing from Adidas, Urban Outfitters, Lazy Oaf, Asos, Fix Up Look Sharp, Reebok, The White Pepper, Monki, Kuccia, Dr Martens and Topshop.

Jumpin' Jumpin'

Fashions love affair with jumpsuits has been off and on for years but jumpsuits have made a big comeback this time around in oversized shapes, bright, bold prints and a new sports inspired styling, in soft jerseys, that bring the jumpsuit bang up to date with the return of sportswear, stepping right away from that onesie phenomenon that still haunts us...Its gotta be big, bold and comfortable or tailored with the new ankle grazer cuts. The good old dungaree is still around and many of these new jumpsuits are inspired by the strappy dungaree styling, which No Debutante calls the Dungaree Hybrid.

Guess what?  Jumpsuits are not just for the girls!! There were so many jumpsuits at the menswear 2016/17 shows that No Debutante can only dream that they will filter down to the high street! I'm not sure all dreams come true but if you're a guy who thinks he can carry a jumpsuit off, then do it!! I'm loving seeing the boys wearing dungarees at the moment (albeit, a rare few)  it took me two years to convince some of my girlfriends to let dungarees into their lives, I think I have set myself a challenge with the idea of getting men in jumpsuits!...Challenge accepted.....

Fix Up Look Sharp Vs No Debutante

Following the Fix Up Look Sharp AW15 Preview event last month I was very excited to borrow a bag of FULS goodies to dress up No Debutante stylee. For those of you who are not aware FULS are an Independent fashion label based in Bristol, all the garments are made from donated fabrics and clothing into one-of-a-kind fashion pieces to raise funding for CLIC Sargent's vital work with children and young people with cancer.
 
No Debutante loves Fix Up Look Sharps' use of bright prints, colours and unique and voluminous shapes and styles, as I have said before, I love a label that pushes fashion boundaries leaving the more conservative fashions miles behind.  It was an absolute pleasure to style up these Fix Up Look Sharp garments  and I seriously could have carried on styling up the garments for hours, I had such fun with it, print clashing and layering the FULS garments up with my own wardrobe, which seemed to work rather well since these are the exact style of garments that I go for!  In this post the garments are from the SS 2015 range and I will be sharing the No Debutante styled up FULS AW 2015 Preview range very soon. You can preview the AW 2015 range here

There are currently a few collabs under No Debutante's fashionista belt and all will appear on the blog over the next few weeks! Including more from the fun filled Fix Up Look Sharp, Bristols Upcycling queen Helen from Kecks Clothing and the fashion salvage team from Bristol Textiles Recycling. Watch this space!
