Fashion - Stella Mccartney

The colour scheme of this item is very pale and bland. The front doesn't look too bad as i really like the rose pattern but the back of the item is a peach colour and i think it looks ghastly.


It is really plain and boring!!! I really dont like the colour at all.

Fashion - Anna sui

this look has a lot of different textures going on i it. I really like the blue and purple colour scheme as the colours go well together. Although i am not too sure the bag goes well with the outfit. the pattern is quite bizarre

Here is a piece from Anna Sui's Fall 2014 range. This caught my eye as it is easy to wear and style with other accessories such as necklaces and boots. I also love the cardigan that the model is wearing as it has an interesting pattern and it teams well with the boots. The whole look has a lovely green and brown colour scheme.

whilst looking for research for current project on cusions i found this image that i really like. It is very femanine and delicate but would not have them as they do not go with my current decor.

Interiors - squint limited

    I love the vibrant colours of this furniture but also the gorgeous shapes and patterns which create a patchwork effect. It is very extravagant and i could live with it in a plain white room otherwise if it was mixed with other prints it would give me a headache
