Trend Report -  Oriental Blossom

From Eastern influenced prints at Proenza Schouler to kimono collars in beautiful fabrics at Dries Van Noten, the oriental trend was seen all over the catwalks of Autumn/Winter 2012. 

Proenza Schouler - Autumn/Winter 2012 New York Fashion Week
 
This has to be my favourite trend of the season, ever so I purchased an amazing oriental print kimono from my favourtie online auction site - eBay! 

My Kimono was eyed up over a year ago at my local Topshop, it was one of those items I should have purchased and later regretted. After many late night eBay searches there it was at at the bargain price of £17.99 -  brand new! 

All that's left is to wear it, with some amazing metallic pink shoes I picked up in the Topshop sale for £10!

'All That Glitters' 

Nail art was seen all over the catwalk's of Spring/Summer 13, from beautiful bejewelled nails at Meadham Kirchhoff to 90's rave art (in neon colours) at House of Holland. 

Whilst flicking through my ASOS December mag I came across this amazing nail art piece and after a rummage though my very large nail varnish collection and a trip to my local supermarket I decided to experiment for myself!

I started with a base coat of Collection 2000 No 60 - Midnight and then applied a top coat of Rimmel No 500 - Disco Ball. These glittery nails brighten up any dull weather winter may bring, they are also perfect for the ever so near Christmas season! 

The nail art trend is also popular around the college classroom......
