Where to buy statement pieces

I have received few emails asking where I get my clothes from especially my latest obsession "statement tee and tops. I love high street fashion...River Island, Topshop, H&M, New Look, Warehouse, Oasis, Pull & Bear and many others. But my statement t-shirts and tops are from "Rebellious" in Liverpool. I came across the store during my high street edit week and I love it! You can find hot new trends or mix and match styles for perfect trend-setting adventure. I was permitted to share some new items perfect for your fashionary summer. Take a look.....



Shorts are always in season, but floral shorts are trendy for NOW season. You can wear this with T-shirts or LS shirts/ sandals or convass.

Top image: studs are quick way to make your outfit stand-out. Think rock! go studdy.
Left: I know the weather is warm now, but sometimes it can get chilly in the evening after a decent night out with the girls. Stay trendy and warm in a metallic blazer.
Right: Statement tee is bold & bright and very eye-catchy. Check me out!

Top left: A mixed statement tee can be worn with skinny jeans and heels or shorts with sandals or even under a skirt. Playful but perfect!
Below left: Beautiful butterfly top for my girlie fashionistas. Looking for a simple look this summer? just put some leggings on or a green skinny jeans and you are good to go. Don't forget your clutch!
Top right: Perfect for geek chic and city look in summer land. Think London!
Below right: Go gracien with this white embellished dress. Accessorise with gold earning and bracelets. Think Egypt!

White is classic but don't go safe. Mix with geometric patterns and asymmetric.

Every fashionista should have a leather jacket for unforeseen situations. But why not get hot new jackets in colours. You can make it unique by adding some studs and spikes.

Fashion on Sporah

I was invited few weeks ago to showcase my sample collection on The Sporah Show in London. Little did I know I was participating in a discussion about the growth of ethnic prints in the UK, which in my opinion, has become one of the fastest fashion trend in Europe. High street shops have taken on this trend......H&M, River Island, Topshop to name a few, and so have top designers like Burberry and many others. It was interesting to know that some aren't away of pioneers of this prints, or how it all began.

(Discussion on the show coming soon)
To give more insight into this....please leave your comments about your views on ethnic prints. In the meantime, take a look at Sally Kah, fashion editor of Eighteen Forever, Make-up artist Terrel and TV Host Sporah............>

Street Style Australia

Whilst most girls wear denims, crop tops, blazers and the ever-ranging colours of pastel this season. Aussie fashionistas where raving in bold & tribal prints and sweet florals at Australia Fashion Week this year. I wish I was there but, there is nothing more stimulating than researching and sharing others immaculate taste in fashion, especially those of high fashion photographers and of course journalists.

Street style: Sweet floral

Street style inspiration: Burberry Prorsum's tribal print

Street style: mixing summer, winter & spring. Very inspirational

Bold and tribal prints are daring colours and patterns, not all girls can get away with wearing it. What is important is to...

1. Know your body shape.

2. Know your skin tone and colours that compliment it.

3. Try things on before you buy them.

4. Always ask for others opinion (those you can trust, not all shop assistants are going to be honest with you).

5. Don't be afraid to try something new.

6. Golden- always take pictures so you can make real judgement of what you're wearing>(helps for improvement).

 I ask about everything fashion....

Ferah: Ferah is a Turkish girl who lives
in UK, I'm a fashion lover and art lover,

talented about many things :)

EF: What is your history with fashion?

Ferah: Not too much, I can say honestly,

love fashion blogs and love bloggers who have their own style.
(Like Andy- Style Scrapbook or Chiara-The  Blonde Salad).

EF: I love your style, what inspires you?

Ferah: Thank you, everything inspires me :) Prints, art,books,trends,fashion, I can say everything for this. When I see a shirt or a blouse , I start to imagine how to combine it with :)  I love to watch fashion shows and if I like something from the collection, I find it on Google and use it in my outfits.

                    ***Outfits created by Ferah***

EF: How would you describe your style?

Ferah: My style is totally bold and different, we can say 'novelty'because I love novelty trend,I also love metallic and shine trend...I always try to be different with my outfits- works,I'm not creating for 'creating', I mean I always want to create something special,I care about layouts,too...My outfits must be like an art for me :) I'm a perfectionist :) In my life and for my works, always like that...I see many outfits without special attention, it's easy to put a shirt and shorts with sandals all together, I can do it in a minute, but i don't like that! It's not fashion! Sometimes I want to scream "did you like that outfit after you created it" I see some users with no taste of fashion, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling, so I don't make a comment to them :) Well known user or not, I prefer to support them, but sometimes it's boring to see those kind of outfits there..Let's return to the topic, if you look at my outfits on fashion finder, you'll feel that they are made for celebrities :) Because I'm always bold with my style. I also care about prints and textures, I don't like 'cheap fashion'..

                                                                ***Ferah's outfits***

5. Do you consider yourself a stylist from your creations @asos-fashion-finder?

Ferah: Not at all, I do what i like on fashion finder, I create
outfits for my taste, for trends,with my favourite items of the

season...Being an icon is about voting,commenting and being
creative on fashion finder. I love being creative,supporting
people,helping them by messages. But  I can't say "I'm a
stylist" ,but lots of users asked me if  I'm in fashion work :)
That makes me happy to hear that kind of messages,that means
people like my works-outfits...

EF: You have been awarded “Outfit of the Week” few times, how did you feel the first time you received this?

Ferah: Thank you, it was great to see my outfit as an outfit of the week,read it many times in a week :) Looked at it many times, had screenshots :) Hehehe :) It's great to see my work on front page, on  trend pages or as an outfit of the week, those all make me happy...hope ff team chooses different user's outfits for every week, because there are many talented ff friends there. I'm always a fair person, I'll be happy to see deserved outfits there...

EF: Do you do anything relating to fashion for a living?

Ferah: No, I don't do anything about fashion, only creating outfits for fashion finder,I respect who does it perfectly and follow their fashion as a fashion lover.

EF: What are the benefits and challenges you have encountered as a style creator?

Ferah: It's a great feeling on fashion finder, users ask me my fashion tips, my advices by messages, I always help them...But the important thing is; knowing your body and wearing what suits you, I care that...I always have compliments about my outfits and that makes me happy, I haven't had a challenge yet :) I don't like people who becomes spoiled with our fashion status there, I know myself well and it never changes me, I'm still the same after being a style icon there.

***EF: I remember when I first joined FF, I was a bit lost to be honest. I was trying to create an outfit for my profile page and I couldn't. So I sent you a message and you replied...really helpful too. I was like...wow, I'm new, she doesn't know me but she replied. I really thought you work for ASOS. It was a great feeling knowing that someone can help you online without even knowing who you are :).

    EF: Do you have style icon(s)?

Ferah: Yes, of course I have style icons, everyone has their style icons I think :) It's about being into fashion :) I love Olivia Palermo's style,she's always so chic and trendy.(I also care about being beautiful...If a woman hasn't got a make up on her face while showing her clothes, it's nothing to me, I don't care about her.That's not the fashion for me.I also care about the nails, an icon has to do all those totally to be a style icon for me ;) I also like Anna Dello Russo's style, she's so bold and I'm always excited to see her outfits on fashion weeks :) I like celebrities with their own styles, I also like Emma Watson and Siena Miller,too.... And if you ask me about fashion finder; my favoruite stylish fashion finder user is definitely MacademianGirl,she's always bold with fashion love her style,I vote for all of her looks, she's a style icon for me.
