SS17 Round Up - Boohoo, Primark, Elomi & Debenhams

SS17 is well and truly go, and the trends for the coming seasons are starting to emerge strong and fast! Embroidered bikers, sports lux, nautical stripes and bright prints are on show everywhere, so here is a quick round up of the offerings from this week's shows.

SS17 Round Up - Studio Eight

Plus size brand Studio Eight have really established themselves as one of the best go to brands for stunning occassionwear, and their SS17 collection brings some of it's most exciting offerings yet. From stunning floor length beaded maxis to wedding worthy prom dresses, it's a selection filled with vibrant and beautiful designs with clever embellishments and stunning fabrics.

SS17 Round Up - George At Asda

SS17 from George at Asda brings an exciting whirlwind of colour in the form of loud dresses, fun accessories and swoon worthy shoes. It's all about the detail with embroidery, buttons, frills and frou frou all coming to the forefront in a collection which is essentially about grown up fun. It creates a fine balance between glamour and frivolity, with sharp tailoring and soft florals paired with muted tones cute metallics.

La Vie En Rose - AW16 from La Redoute

This is my favourite time of year for fashion, with the golden sunshine and changing leaves the perfect backdrop for an autumnal colour palette. Burnt oranges, berry reds and soft camel shades all feature heavily as we cosy up to the colder months, and a riffle through La Redoute's AW drop has got me so excited for the temperatures to drop!

Hang A Shining Star - #SimplyBeXmas - Christmas 2016 from Simply Be

I was so sad to miss Simply Be's AW16 press day earlier in the year, as I was shooting for Headmasters on the total opposite side of London. But seeing the photos on social media had me dreaming of shimmering sequins and art deco patterns, so I was super excited to get to preview their Christmas edit which is due to drop throughout September and October. It was certainly worth the wait - if you've been following me on Instagram, you'll have seen that I've been wishing that Autumn would hurry up and arrive, and this stunning collection has done nothing but strengthen that resolve!

It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It’s Spring) - AW16 from Studio Eight

It always feels a little odd to be looking at sequin laden party dresses in sunshine fulled high temperatures, but AW16 from Studio Eight certainly managed to get me in the mood for festive fun.

Available up to a UK size 26, the sister brand of Phase Eight has made a name for themselves offering stylist options made from premium fabrics. With a selection of stunning ropework, laser cut outs, print and sparkle, the drop for the later part of the year will have you feeling great whether searching for casual wear, work wear or something to dance the night away in. As ever the range covers painted florals, contemporary patterns and hand stitched embellishments for the perfect finish, and it is those tiny touches which make the items feel like proper wardrobe investments.

It was so difficult to choose my favourite pieces, as so much of it was exquisite. I loved the 1920s feel of much of the collection with flapper ready fringing and art deco sequin patterns running throughout. The floor length silver dress also gets a mention as it was such a knock out number for the festive season, and I loved the versatility of their sequin blazer - perfect for throwing over a dress, or simply styled with a pair of skinny jeans.
