Colour Code ; S/S '15

Another thing I'm hoping to try out as a fortnightly feature is a collection of colour trends found in different season styles and shows. This means that for the next couple of months I'm going to share my favourite Spring/Summer 2015 trends all meticulously categorised in colour palettes that blend and contrast perfectly. Kicking it off with the three P's: Pastels, pink and purple!


If pastels were a man they'd belong under my 'It's Complicated' section of my relationship status, but they'd also be my drunken 2am phone call. Pastels and I, it seems, can safely say we may not always agree, but the love is certainly there. 

 And from catwalk to high street the Spring/Summer '15 collections have rekindled the fire, not failing to disappoint. From the reworked Pretty in Pink patterns of de la Renta to the Titania inspired fairytale of Ferreti, that while pastels may have been returned to the closet during the winter months, with spring and bloom in nature there is spring and bloom in fashion. Rebirth is an overworked concept (I mean it's been what, 2,000 years since the original rebirth of Jesus after his death) but it cannot be denied to the designers, who like me, fail to keep their eyes and hands off of pastels and all things pink.

The Social Construct of the Slut

Image
Now I really want to address a social topic quite close to home. This social construct of the slut…  Yes, a rather strange topic which is becoming more and more of a public debate due to the overuse of the label in everyday instances. But when one considers the complexity of what makes someone a slut, of why women are labelled as such and how society receives such a label it becomes a very interesting analysis. So I’m pretty much going to break it down in my interpretation.

An Obligatory Year in Review 2016

Image
Some have dubbed it a rather disastrous year, full of surprises and controversy and pain. Me? I can see where those people are coming from, but my 2016 was full of love, and adventure and learning. From every day in college to every summer road trip and the big move that will likely shape my life for good. 2016 brought into my life people I would be heartbroken to lose, it showed me places I will never forget and made me look into myself when I was struggling most to find strength. Come with me through a chronology of the past year:

My Very Relevant, Very Cliche New Years Resolutions

Everyone makes them at some point in their life; be it giving up smoking, going to the gym, or even going vegan. For a specific amount of time at the beginning of each calendar year a vast majority of people in developed, capitalist society will base most if not all their decisions on the one resolution they really mean to keep. “This is the year.” they say, “I never really wanted to do this before but now I’m ready.” And for that specific amount of time we support one another, encourage and truly believe in the resolutions made when we’re three bottles of wine down and the fireworks have just stopped. Gradually, of course, reality kicks in that the gym is just too much of a hassle to get to, that the stop smoking gum doesn't work, and giving up meat turns out to be a lot harder when they just opened that new steak house in town. For most people, and most resolutions, the promises we make for the year ahead get lost in the bad Monday’s and the boozy Saturday’s…followed by many a
