Spring in Cardiff outfit Post

So even though it is bitterly cold you can start to feel the change in season...spring is on it's way, the days are slowly getting longer and sun is making more and more appearances. I cannot wait for summer this year...I have so many things planned, but I am going to put my plans to paper otherwise I forget and end up going to the same coffee bars and the same galleries, but this summer is all about exploring the local area as there have been a flurry of new boutiques and antique shops popping up so I need to get those thrifting shoes on and see what gems I can find. John and I had a lovely, if not cold, Sunday in Cardiff and finally got around to doing an outfit post.

JazzKatze at London Fashion Week

I was luckily enough to attend the JazzKatze show at London Fashion Week, part of the Vauxhall Fashion Scout shows. JazzKatze or otherwise known as the designer Ayumi was born and grew up in Japan and then went on to study in the UK, this clash of cultures is show throughout her collection, as she uses different fabrics and prints to create at times chaotic but structured garments.

Also the little pearl accessories pasted onto the legs and arms where pretty little extras. Blue face man...

Masha Ma at London Fashion Week

ASOS inspire and Whooga Shoes

So with spring approaching fast (and at last), that means new lookbooks and lines out now. It's easy to look to far ahead with New York Fashion week and London Fashion week happening this month, so it was a welcome look at the new season when the ASOS magazine fell through my letter box. They has some great labels and looks and these are my favourite, I love that the 70's is coming back, pastel mellow colours and subtle womanly touches. If you are however still feeling cold and not quite ready for spring, or simply just love toasty feet, as staple that just seems to be enduring the test of time is Ugg boots.Whooga Uggs has a giveaway running at the moment on their site, and they have some really interesting styles, like the ankle ugg, made from merino thermofleece, they are certainly going to keep you warm. Whooga have also been kind enough to off 10% discount to all Side Street Style readers, if you use the following code 1455SIDE ...
