I love these beautiful trend boards from the Ellinee blog. I like the different composition which show off the different looks, they look really clear & crisp. The metallics is my favourite.

I stumbled across a beautiful blog called Calico Skies. Its a great place for inspiration if you like making & creating as well as eating, shopping and generally love seeing nice pretty things. I think I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

I've always wondered who was responsible for the lovely Topshop make-up packaging and I've recently discovered that its Graphic Designer Sarah Thorne. Sarah specialises in print & packaging for the fashion & beauty industry which is clear to see from her website. Her work ranges from glamorous invites for Mulberry to backstage invites for Elle and installations for London Fashion Week.

Lazy Oaf

Lazy Oaf Bonjour Bebe Card

Lazy Oaf Party Beard Card Ginger

Lazy Oaf Intimate Card

Lazy Oaf Squeeze Card

I really like Lazy Oaf's range of cards (just one string to their bow). I love the sentiment, illustration & colour (where applied), the cards are really silly & funny, if you know my sense of humour you will know that I've giggled reading all of them. I think H will especially like the bonjour card at the top. Lazy Oaf also produce t-shirts, accessories and lifestyle products. The brand was started over 10 years ago on a market stall in East London but its now grown and they sell their work in over 150 stockists worldwide.

Swan Lake Dress by Oscar de la Renta, beautiful style, skirt flare & fabrics, a modern day fairytale

Found at Who What Wear Kate Mara at the Oscars wearing Jack Guisso Couture, beautiful elegant gown in nude/mink, very romantic.

Lots of lovely style at Who What Wear at London Fashion week, I really like the 2 on the far left

I've been spotting loads of gorgeous fashion trends today, courtesy of recent Fashion week & Award ceremonies. Above are some of my favourite spots
