My Favourite Fragrance
It might come as no shock to you that my favorite fragrance is one by Moschino. Moschino TOY was the brand’s first fragrance under the creative genius of Jeremy Scott. 2015 saw Jeremy Scott’s 3rd runway for Moschino and the debut of the first fragrance under his creative directorship: Moschino TOY. Not only does the perfume come in the most ADORABLE soft toy bottle, dubbed as the ‘world’s cutest perfume’, it also smells like nothing else. It really is INCREDIBLE, a floral, woody, musky fragrance which importantly isn’t gendered.
As well as the perfume debut, the catwalk showcased a collection inspired by the designer’s own take on streetwear. Scott's streetwear was colorful, sexy, and altogether irrepressible; offering us glossy sleeping bag coats, evening gowns covered in graffiti, and a neon camouflage print. It also featured items inspired by the new fragrance with the teddy bear appearing on everything from t-shirts to lighter holders. Obviously, I was drawn straight to this collection and I instantly knew I HAD to have a few of the pieces.
I was lucky enough to be able to find this ‘TOY’ jumper from the collection in the 2015 Christmas sale on Net-a-Porter. It had been reduced by 50% so it automatically appeared in my basket. The brooch I found on the Luisa Via Roma website for only £25 (so I bought two to qualify for free delivery). This holdall bag I managed to find on Vestiaire Collective for a mere £50 because the gold hardware was slightly tarnished and the fabric in two corners of the bag had tiny little scuffs. Websites like Vestiaire Collective is the perfect way to get your mitts on past season designer pieces, and sometimes at a fraction of the original price. If you’re willing to take an item that has really been pre-loved you can bag yourself a REAL bargain!
To me, fashion is all about doing your own thing. One of the best ways to really get your style and point of view across is to mix up designer with both high street and vintage. Now, ASOS is my GO-TO website for jeans. They really do get it sooooo incredibly right with mixing up-fits and style. I live in these mid-wash, high waisted jeans! This black denim shirt was bought from ASOS Marketplace for £8.50 during the summer sale and it is perfect for throwing on over pretty much anything….. and the jumper goes perfectly in front of this graffiti I found.
