Fabric frenzy

I love to experiment with different textures and at the minute there is so much to choose from. Sheer is huge for SS11 and with winter slowly coming to an end it's the perfect time to mix a bit of AW10 leather and fur with the new materials available.

Today's collaboration is a mix of faux leather, faux fur and sheer. Leather and sheer is really interesting because the sheer floaty material definitely helps soften the harsh shiny leather and makes an outfit a little more feminine whilst still keeping an edge to it. Another material that's going to be huge is lace and it goes fantastically with leather, however I'm thinking more towards sheer and lace combined as both see through materials could really make an interesting outfit.

I'm also looking forward to experimenting with colour this season and my number one 'to buy' item is a red pair of jeans. I've seen a fabulous pair from Zara that I might try on come pay day. I'm also on the look out for some cheap colour pop tshirts too.

Get trendy with your textures x

  3. Wow that blouse is fabulous and goes so well with the faux leather. Love it! Red jeans will be lovely too - such a statement and you could wear pretty much any colour with them.

  17. Thanks for the comment chica!
    This blouse is awsome and looks great with the faux leather!
    I've always had a soft spot for sheer blouses, some of my fave charity shop finds in fact. But I hate how people give you funny looks if you don't wear a top underneath! It's like, yes this is my bra, never seen one before? Its a sheer fabric, I want to make the most out of the fluid lines and floaty-ness, without having a block opaque colour ruining it all!
