Boohoo SS15 Preview

with Princess Anna-Anastasia! 

I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with boohoo.com's SS15 collection, and the brilliant team behind it during their SS15 preview last week. With a photo-booth, amazing music, ice cream and champagne the atmosphere was bustling, vibrant and fun & did justice to the collection that surrounded it.

Split into separate themed categories, the collection was created to reflect SS15's  trends and the diverse, rapidly changing interests of the boohoo fan base.
What I personally loved was that is each of the varied collections with in the SS15 collection had me picturing a different summer adventure. From Coachella in 'Wild West' to glamourous Miami summer nights in 'Poolside' and NYC clubbing in 'Geo Clash' the collection had me pining for the good times of summer.


Art Class,
Brilliant stand out pieces for statement city show stopping. I fell in love with this coat, and I couldn't believe how reasonably priced it was at £30.00

Culture Clash: 

The Clubbing Must Have. For your alter ego:  Think bright colours, ethnic prints and lots of embelishment.

Wild West: Perfect festival wear

Just look at that beautiful embroidered detailing!

Geo Clash

Stand out Bold, monochrome and geometric pieces to make any outfit outstanding.

Poolside: 

Floral prints with asian influence. Pyjama style silks and glittery sequined pieces, excellent for hot days in exotic places & glamourous late nights out in tropical climates.

Puritan: 

Fresh & feminine. For dreamy days in the country or  cruising around the hills of LA <3

Cotton lace top jumpsuit

Love these embroidered denim shorts!

Boohoo FIT

A new and bang on trend addition, the Boohoo Fit collection. I had the pleasure of meeting the innovative 20 something  designer, Sarah Cormak, who was the creative force behind this stunning 90s revival collection which includes all the hallmarks of that fresh era, with an updated noughties twist. The result? A unique street wear collection, which is as fashion forward as it is practical.

I love this blue snakeskin print on  this crop top shell suit.

Anil Arjandas Opening with Lilly Ghalichi

Already popular and successful in Spain and a favourite of celebrities, the London opening of Anil Arjandas was highly anticipated and promised to be an unforgettable event- it did not disappoint.
Set in the heart of London's privileged Mayfair, serenely tucked away just behind Oxford street, lies the store on Davies st.  

Anil Arjandas

Designer Anil Arjandas benefits from a wealth of cultural inspiration and international perspective due to his mixed Indian and Spanish heritage. As a result, each piece is has a unique reference to the beautiful kaleidoscope of South Asian and Mediterranean design.

The Collection

The collections really do have something for everyone, ranging from more classic emerald pieces for the more conservative and spikes for the contemporary. I had the pleasure of talking through the collections with Anils father ( who was dressed impeccably in a custom suit ) he proudly walked me though and explained what makes Anil Jewellery unique. Anil takes care to use black and brown diamonds, favouring them for their classy subtlety that alludes to confident old money luxury.  I love this, as not only are these diamonds beautiful, they are a change from the usual Elizabeth Taylor white diamond. The masterpieces are set in Antique Silver and Rose Gold, again offering a contemporary alternative to the traditional yellow gold.

Our Summary

I loved the collection because it was wearable luxury for the confident woman, who needs pieces that can seamlessly go from dazzling in the day to noticeable at night. In summary the collection is the 21st Century answer to old money glamour. Be sure to check the store out - 20 Davies St, Mayfair, London. As it is just a stones throw from Claridges its the perfect modern day Breakfast At Tiffany's activity- London edition. ;)

I wanted to the classic look for this event, and so I chose the 1940's glamour makeup, reinvented for the 21st century with an ombre lip.  I chose a figure hugging maroon dress from Asos. I completed the look with my favorite coat, in the style of the flattering Dior New Look and perfect for my retro glam direction.

The Hair And Makeup

To complete the ombre lip, I used Rimmel Colour 6 in the middle and Mac Rebel at the edges.Hair wise I wore one of Le Dutches' custom full wigs, for that over the top big hair luxury.

The hair is naturally straight but we gave it lose waves for an effortless modern look.
