NYFW Round Up - Edition 1

So I began summarising my favourite NYFW shows and found that the list just piled up and up, squeezing every designer in to this post would have been far too overwhelming for the most fashion conscious follower. So I have decided to break it down in to bite size instalments for all of your viewing pleasures!! Personally I find it difficult to keep up with the shows especially if you're not on their time zone so I found a few helping hands such as Olivia Palermo's live feed and my must have, go-to site for a complete run down of every designer is style.com! If you havent checked these out then make sure you do as they do an amazing job at making you feel as part of the action as possible. 

It may have only just begun but already its evident that oversized everything is in for SS14 along with a whole host of inspiration taken from being just plain happy. When designers were asked how best to describe their collection this word just kept cropping up and I love them for it because after all, fashion is all about personal expression and if you're not happy doing it then really whats the point?

Emmaus Vintage Fashion & Jewellery Finds

 Trips to Emmaus seem to have become a tradition whenever I am home since my parents found out about it not too long ago! For those who aren't aware of the charity, Emmaus was founded in Paris in 1949 to combat homelessness and poverty. Since 1971 national charitable organisations were set up representing now; 310 groups in 38 countries, who offer a range of charitable services. This being one of them. All proceeds go to the charity and people can donate from anywhere.

They have everything (as you will see from these photos) from ornate mirrors, beds, childrens toys, clothes, jewellery, pottery, gym equipment....I could go on! But the photos do this place justice. As you may have seen from my previous post, the majority of what you find here is most likely of no relevance to you, however the prices are ridiculously cheap and for every bit of rubbish there are some real hidden gems.
