Pure Show 2013 and a £1 Tip Off!

I spent the afternoon having a roam around Olympia a few weeks ago at Pure (a trade show in case you haven't heard of it).  It was nice to have a look at what's coming in for the next few seasons, not only via the brands but also the catwalk shows.  Here are some of my favourites for this coming Autumn/Winter and next Spring/Summer.

The cocoon sweater

Burgundy and rich red tones were present for A/W and some fab shoes

Stunning gowns, nude gets my vote

Florals will still be here next S/S, Hooray! 

My favourite stand had to be Makki.  If you haven't heard of them, they are an accessories brand using eel skin.  My friend I was with freaked out but by the end, she came round.  It is such a durable leather, is the most amazing patterned skin and when worn in, is so soft.  Their clutch ipad case is a great design, what a fab idea.  


I wanted/needed to be comfortable but couldn't exactly turn up in my joggers so opted for my Gap wedges.  I can confirm I lasted all day in them (drove home in flats though).  Teamed with my Ralph Lauren chino's (again!) and a very old Miss Selfridge top that I paid something silly for like £10, it's washed so well.  Finished with my trusted and favourite handbag by Balenciaga, I was happy with my choice for the day.


PS Shopping tip off - Poundland for Sally Hansen and O.P.I nail-polishes - yes honestly!  Be quick.
