Pantone Colours of the Year

So one thing I always look forward to every year is the Pantone Colour of the Year. Even though I'm not one to follow trends that often and I wear the colours and clothes I like to wear, it's very exciting seeing new trends and the products in stores. And there's no denying that these trends have a massive impact on shoppers!

Luckily I've been loving Pantone's Colour of the Year for the past few years. From Marsala which was last year's, to Radiant Orchid the year before. And this year it's not only one but TWO colours. Hello Rose Quartz and Serenity! These two colours put together remind me of beautiful skies; one thing that often inspires me.

So to welcome in 2016, I've joined the bandwagon and taken advantage of this years colours by using my own photographs to create new designs. I actually fall in love with beautiful skies every single time; the colours; the texture; the unique patterns; and the way it is brand new with each day. I've added a few photos below of some of the products that are available, but if you want to see the full collection you can shop here.

'Liberty in Fashion'

So this week I finally went to visit the 'Liberty in Fashion' exhibition at the Fashion & Textile Museum in London. I've been so excited to see a range of designs, artefacts and so much history that lies within this unique British department store. As soon as I walked into the first room I was in awe of the wall art featuring an illustration of the store. Next to it is a timeline with all the important turning points and achievements, which is a feature that most exhibitions normally have.

The exhibition features various dresses and outfits made out of some iconic Liberty prints from different eras. There has also been a lot of collaborations with different brands using the prints, some which are featured in the exhibition.

I especially fell in love with the range of printed silk scarves and fabric samples that were laid out in a glass box. The collection of them together just looks so intricate and colourful that it draws you in.

Below I've included some photographs of my favourite pieces. I don't want to give too much away as I feel that its worth going inside and seeing it for yourself as it was beautifully curated. If you do have an interest in art, fashion and textiles then it's definitely worth a visit! And if you've ever been to Liberty's and fell in love with even just one product or design then you won't want to let this unique exhibition come to an end without stepping inside! xo
