Ellie Lines SS14

The Debbie (bottom right) is the shortest piece and is named after Ellie's mum because of her killer legs!

Popping up until tomorrow, at Duke St's Fleur B, is the debut dress collection from the very lovely, stylist and designer, Ellie Lines. But we don't recommend that you go there if you suffer at all from SAD, because the beautiful collection is sure to make you wish for summer, just in order to don a dress.

The frocks are all named after Ellie's friends and we think that the jewel print Catherine will set you longing to stroll down a white sandy beach, Margarita in hand and Don Draper on your arm!

Mood boards to set your heart a flutter.

  The umbrella print is perfect for the English summer.

  All of the dresses are made in England using silk.

NYFW vs LFW SS14

 LFW: House of Holland | Holly Fulton | Roksanda Ilincic | Erdem | Burberry Prosum

NYFW: Derek Lam | Helmut Lang | Brandon Sun | J.Crew | J. Mendel

It's the ultimate face off of our two metropolitan loves -- NYC vs. LDN! We meticulously went through the gorgeous collections to determine which was the superior FW. Every neckline, every sample of light blue, every frock was analyzed. The above are our favorite picks from our respective homelands, with Siobhan tackling New York Fashion Week and Miriam handling London Fashion Week. It was a pretty close call, with both cities leaving us yearning for next spring, but we think that this year London had the edge. Let us know your favorite collections in the comments! 

A Floral Wreath for the Floral Crown

I think that we can all agree that the floral crown has had its day in the sun; when Lana Del Rey first wore it we were enamoured with a capital E, but overuse at festivals has left us bored. What was once an interesting, slightly ridiculous piece of headgear, has become a lazy way of attempting to suggest that one has a "bohemian spirit" - excuse us while we vomit up our lunch, but any hippie worth their organic fair-trade salt, would not be found dead in Topshop and we all know that is where most people have acquired them from.

So with a roving eye, we look to next summer and wonder, what on earth will we top our heads with? Well, it was with some glee that we found ourselves eyeing up the SS14 Dolce and Gabbana collection because there it was - the answer in green and white - the floral halo. Teemed with elegant silhouettes and lashings of gold, there was nothing faux-boho about the floral halo; this was out and out glamour. As it should be.
