My surprise Street Style Shot - Blur @ Hyde Park

I went to see Blur perform at Hyde Park this weekend and was stopped by Elle Magazine, whom wanted to take a picture of the outfit I was wearing. I was quite surprised by this, as my dress was a last minute impulse buy from Topshop earlier that morning. This was due to my lack of weather precision bag packing before I left Manchester for London. Well, being a Northern girl, I am used to dressing daily for a heavy bout of rain and not really checking the weather forecast before I left, I assumed it would be raining in London too. However, to my surprise, the sun was shining as if I was at a music festival in Europe and I quickly needed to exchange my army jacket and Hunter wellies for a delectable white Summer dress!! It just shows you that sometimes when you're not feeling your fashionable, organised self, you can still look pretty on the eye to others...

Dress is available at Topshop for £42.

The Libertarian Hat Designs by Jayne Elwell...

The Libertarian...

A lovely little friend of mine introduced me to an amazing hat designer called Jayne Elwell who works under the name of The Libertarian. 

Jayne’s work has been featured in publications such as The Telegraph, the Times, Company magazine, ITV’s This Morning and Vogue.co.uk. Although it was Ladies Day at Ascot Races in 2011 that Jayne's designs really got noticed. She was seen in national newspapers and received global press coverage with The Independent newspaper declaring it "A day for the birds". Since then Jayne has been asked to do a number of commissions and design exclusive collections for Rock N Rose.

You can see some of Jayne's amazing designs at;

Mundo - New Vintage Inspired Sportswear Brand As Seen On Top British Musicians!!!

Mundo...

Mundo is a new vibrant brand that has recently been launched to the high street through House of Fraser. It is a range of football inspired fashion that has recently been seen on various musicians including, The Vaccines and Kid British. The brand has also been used in the new Shane Meadows film about The Stone Roses comeback into the music industry and was chosen because of it's true vintage look, it was used in the scene that recreates their famous 1990 Spike Island gig!! With Mundo being supported by such recognised bands, I don't think it will be too long before we see the typical British indie kid sporting a Mundo t-shirt or two!! With it's fresh and innovative designs, I think Mundo will be the brand to watch over the next few months...
