The magic dress and Online Fashion Week

Happy news fellow shopaholic fashionistas! Vogue magazine is organising Online Fashion Week from Monday to Friday Dec 5-9th and it's not to be missed! Countless of retailers will be offering exclusive collections, discounts, there will even be competitions! Expect online debates with industry experts and much more. Read the whole schedule here, although there are still more deals and surprises to be announced. As exciting as it sounds, the best news about it is, it's all in the name of a charity and hopefully we can all raise loads of money together.
Most deals still remain mystery, but I can tell you now, you'll get a chance to win a "Magic dress" by Young British Designers. More details how will follow but I'm already intrigued. They've been asking on Twitter what would your magic dress do and my first reaction was, it would be designed by Z-mode. YBD are a great on-line platform for emerging designers, supporting new talent. I have written about quite a few of their designers already including Imogen Belfield, Lucy Hutchings and most recently Lako Bukia and will definitely write about more. If you're not familiar with the site make sure you check it out. As if you need extra reason, but they are offering 25% off dresses until Dec 4th! Hurry as this is a great offer.
And now back to Z-Mode. I met Victoria Rangayah who launched the label for SS 11 at London Fashion Week and she is so sweet. Most importantly she is really hard-working and talented, which recently paid off as she's been shortlisted for Fashion Scout. I honestly wish her best of luck with that. I will tell you more about her soon and will be bringing interview too. For now to give you an idea how pretty her dresses are I've included couple of pictures. The one shouldered piece I saw Zoe Hardman wearing at a fashion show and it looked stunning and the dark blue Cloud9 dress is a star on it's on. It's been featured in OK magazine and have been very popular with generally. I'm not surprised. You can buy both at YBD here.
Now just a question to be asked. What would your Magic dress be/do?

Jewelled Wednesday - by ECOne

EC One is named after a London post code, a diamond and jewellery making district. The smart people behind it run two successful stores and an online shop and have a great eye for talent. They strive to offer something unique and are always on lookout for fresh new designers. There are so many talented people selling their products there, it's actually hard to pick what to take home with you. The choices are endless!
I've mentioned quite a few of their designers before in Jewelled Wednesday, including Imogen Belfield, Lucy Hutchins and Nicholas King. Check more below and some of the amazing designs you can find there.
They really have something for everyone thanks to the varied name list. It's good to keep an eye on them even if you don't want to buy anything, to keep up with what's cool and up and coming in jewellery business. They've won quite a few awards and there's a reason behind it!
Have a stylish day.

Jewelled Wednesday - by Lucy Hutchings

This talented young woman originally comes from Suffolk, which rural area inspires her jewellery. She got a first class honours degree at University of Brigton in wood, metal, ceramics and plastics. She got her experience working for Erickson Beamon and eventually started her own label sold at Young British Designers. Lucy's bold pieces have been featured in Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar. I love how she's pushing boundaries, trying to create something different. If you want a statement piece Hutchings is the woman to go to. Shop more great collections at youngbritishdesigners.com or click here for Lucy's collection.
Have a stylish day.
