Kwilti S/S 2013 Collection 'Toxic Tropic' Lookbook

2 Comments »


After seeing the new SS13 collection from Kwilti, I felt I had to share with you guys!  Kwilti is a shop that I feel really does do totally original and unique designs, and it's all handmade.  I love their holographic materials and thick chains and feel it suits the sports luxe trend so well!

Lookbook blurb
KWILTI’s Spring/Summer 2013 “Toxic Tropic” Lookbook is here.  Inspired by the bad girl with a heart of gold, it features necklaces, earrings, and head pieces in holographic nylon, crisp white cottons, and gold chain. Snapbacker brims in radioactive colors and custom prints offer a fresh, new take on a summer staple. Photographed by the designer herself and modeled by Bay Area native Lizzie Gunn.

So there you go!  Be sure to check out the website here, my favourite items have got to be the clash collar necklace from SS13 and the shattered glass bowie, which item is your favourite?

This is my first 'how to style' post/video!  I worked really hard on it so I hope you guys like it, although the outfits are pretty simple and obvious it's just a base to work off if you're not that confident with midi dresses like me.  Hope you like the looks!

Beanie* // Drop Dead
Tee* // Drop Dead
Shorts // Urban Outfitters
Socks // River Island
Earrings // Primark
Necklace* // AOKO NY
Bracelet* // Your Fashion Jewellery
Spiked Coltranes // Jeffrey Campbell
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, market, mums, Topshop

So how freaking awesome is this tee?!  I've been lusting after it since it was previewed for the new Drop Dead collection so am thrilled that it's finally in my wardrobe.  It may be a bit 'loud' for some, but I now actually own quite a few tops with swear words on them so it's not really a big deal for me!  I thought I'd go for a simple look to wear out in this awkward semi-summery weather, so wore the thick thigh socks and boots, but kept it cool with shorts and you could just throw a hoodie on over the top.  What do you think of the look? Would you/do you own items from Drop Dead? (:

Dress* // BangGood
Earrings // Boot sale
Necklace // Primark
Bracelet // market
Bow* // Crown & Glory
Skirt (just seen) // Zara
Shoes // eBay
Rings // markets, mum, Lumafina

I absolutely adore this dress from BangGood.  I think it's amazing value for money, considering this dress is only around $15 with free postage!  They also do a huge range of other items, like technology cases, camera accessories and home decor at awesome prices so I would definitely recommend checking them out.  I wanted to pair it with my new holographic silver glittery shoes from eBay because I looove them and they're a lot less harsh than my spiky black Jeffrey Campbells!
So today was the first of my three up-coming exams and it was AS Sociology.  I revised really hard for it and feel it didn't go as well as I thought it would, but I know that I couldn't have worked harder for it so at least I won't regret neglecting my studies.  Because I have now finished sociology, photography and graphics I only have to come in for three lessons a week which is kind of weird, going to be sad leaving college!

Necklace // Thomas Sabo
Tee* // P&Co
Shorts // Topshop (old)
Socks* // Thriftette
Greenflash // Dunlop
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, market stall, mums, Topshop

Just a quick post before I get ready for work!  I love this P&Co printed tee, it's so soft and the colour print makes it perfect for summer!  They're actually having a sale on at the moment where all tees are £14 which is a great deal.  They're also running a pop-up shop on Kings Road in London for 4 weeks so if you're local I'd definitely recommend checking it out.  I wanted to go for a more casual look so paired it with some ombre lips, summery shorts and old greenflash trainers that I used to wear for PE when I was at school, nice to be out of heels in outfit photos for a change!
