UK Trend Report: Street

UK Trend Report: Street by colette featuring a brown biker jacket

I have been living in the UK for almost 3 months and these are based on my observations on what, mostly students, have been wearing around town. 

Jackets: olive green jackets, wool coats, parka, recently I have been seeing a lot of duffle coats.

Pants: leggings and skinny jeans are a must because the bottoms fit into boot or don't hit the rain soaked ground.

Boots: besides converse, boots are the most popular footwear. My favorite is the Chelsea boot and combat boots. Flats are also more preferable than heels when going out because of all the uneven pavers and cobblestones.

Bags: satchel style, color-blocked neutrals, trapeze shaped, and backpacks are all common.

My 20th Birthday!

My 20th Birthday! by colette featuring a zippered tote bag

I recently celebrated my 20th birthday in April. I am now finished with my sophomore year of college and can not wait to study in England in the fall. I am debating on creating a blogger about my time studying in England because I don't think anyone would read it.

Color Me White

Color Me White by colette featuring evening dresses

Many of you know that I have an obsession with the color white. There is just something so clean and beautiful about it. Maybe being from Snow Capital, New York has given me an appreciation for the soft wonder of a peaceful snowy morning.

Three weeks ago I started my sophomore year of college. This year I am dealing with the more technical side of the fashion industry with classes such as Textiles and Product Development. I really love the hard and soft aspects of this set! xoxo

Fashion takes London

The London Olympics closing ceremony was a joy to watch, except for Jessie J butchering We Will Rock You. As a fashion lover, watching some of the best British models strut down the Union jack stage was awesome. Especially since Alexander McQueen was not forgotten among the tribute to England with Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell wearing two of his dresses during the David Bowie 'Fashion' segment.
