Joanne Hynes SS12 LFW

The show opened with a fun 60's style sound track to compliment her playful collection that was oozing with vibrant popping neon, quirky abstract illustrations and sequins, sequins, sequins! The whole collection was awash with texture from jumpers and skirts covered in tiny tube sequins and layered sequin scaled shirts to metallic, leather looking trapeze dresses with quirky embellished motifs. Hair was in a plain grey/blonde fun up-do with make up kept simple, except a sweeping colour under the eyebrows.

Flatform Shoe Trend

In keeping with the current flatform shoe trend I thought I would share with you a pair of my absolute favourite platform shoes. I find the flatforms can be quite ugly and manish. These heeled shoes are from River Island. The straw wedge and rubber sole make them suprisingly comfortable to wear especially when you are dancing till the sun comes up. The satin bow adds 70's feel to the shoes and gives them a quirkyness that I could not resist.
