Boys - Nautical Trend - Spring/Summer 2014

I have recently been doing an Autumn/Winter 2012 Shop Report to see what's in store this winter.  I have also been on the watch out to spot new and emerging trends in all the new Spring/Summer 2013 collections that are just starting to make an appearance in stores.

Every season there's always a take on the nautical theme.  I created a Nautical Update trend board for Spring/Summer 2014 click here to view. Below is an update of new styles now appearing in store for Spring Summer 2013 that will also influence this trend too.

Graphic and Presentation Good Practise

My blog posts have been a bit neglected recently as I have been giving lots of lectures at my old University recently.  I have also been putting together a 'Graphics Good Practise' handout to give to students so they can achieve the best quality reports.

Take a look at the handout over on my Fashion Students Hub Blog by clicking here.

Charcoal and Mustard Interior Update

I have recently been toying with the idea of updating our living room interior!  We moved into our house a couple of years ago and have bought new furniture and been given bits and pieces from people too.  We now have everything we need but are finding we have a bit of a mix mash of everything.  I wanted to bring it all together by re-looking at the colour palette for cushions and accessories and was thinking about doing a mustard and charcoal theme.

We don't have loads to spend and already have mid-tone grey sofas so instead of investing in new 'big things' I thought I would add cushions etc in the above colour palette.  I will let you know how it goes!

Check out the following websites and blogs I used for inspiration:
