2012/2013 Icons.

It is the New Year tomorrow.

So to mark 2013 I decided to look back at the Darlings of fashion in 2012.

There have been many many occasions which have been noteworthy but to me, there are certain people that have graced style pages throughout the year and will continue to do so.

Here are some pictures via Vogue of the best dressed people in 2012. 

These are a few of my favourite icons.

Alexa Chung

Cara D.

Dree Hemmingway

Diane Kruger.

Kiera Knightley

Kate Moss.


I have always loved all of these girls and of course Cara D will be the brightest thing of 2013.
They will always be in style.

Happy 2013!

This Is Africa.

A country known for its vibrant colours, landmarks and of course poverty.

However, after Alexa Chung wrote in Vogue on the subject of Ethical Issues, I noticed that there are amazing brands that have everything fair trade and from Africa at affordable prices.

Here are some of my favourite designs.

And some non African items but still inspired by the country.

D&G Sandals

Roger Vivier beaded bags

British DJ SBTRKT.

Most pieces are of African material and part of every payment is in donation to the designs chosen African Charity. 

Truly Inspiring.

Alexa Chung for Superga.

As most youngsters would say....their Vans (off the wall) are the most comfortable shoes. However Superga is turning out some pretty decent shoes. With celebs such as Sienna Miller wearing them, you know that this is a good brand. So this year, its the second time that Alexa Chung is the face of the brand. Ever the fashionista, she brings a certain je ne sais quoi to Superga. With most prices being around £40, it is time to buy some....and place them next to my tattered comfy vans and agree that Superga shoes look damn fine.
