Charlotte Taylor

I have been following the adventures of Charlotte Taylor for a couple of years now. She originally worked for Luella, but jumped ship in order to create her own label. I am so glad that she did. I love everything about this collection, the fabrics are so elegant and the shapes effortless. I think the model is a perfect choice, Charlotte Taylor comes across quite fun and eccentric in her blog posts and I think the cheeky, inquisitive glances from the model really reflects the energy of the brand.  She is a real inspiration, I'm a total utter fan girl. 

If anyone is listening the last dress, pale blue with peter pan collar will do nicely thanks. 

To listen to Miss Taylor for yourself X marks the spot. 

Koma Cape

I love this image so much I just had to share it. The cape is part of my AW collection for Eleanor's Riot and I'm going to have a hard time parting with it. Thanks to David Anderson and Denise Hawkes for the amazing effort with this shoot yesterday. I'm just dying to see the rest of the images.

Yesterday I presented Eleanor's Riot AW wear to Glasgow, at  regular pop up event Bold Souls. It was a hectic couple of weeks getting everything prepared, pressed and preened but I am so glad that I took a giant leap of faith and did it, I massively stepped outside of my comfort zone & now feel unstoppable! The event itself is run by glamorous Glasgow based designer Silvia Pellegrino of Chouchou. As an independent designer herself she understands the pressures that emerging businesses face and uses the event to really encourage and promote Scottish talent. 

The room was full of all different angles of the fashion industry. Elaborate hair, make up and polka dot nails were on offer, models sashayed between stalls, several jewelers and vintage clothing were on offer too.  I was overwhelmed by the support that was dished out for Eleanor's Riot, it was great to meet so many people in the same position or ten steps ahead of me & everyone just so encouraging. 

I have to give absolute praise to my beau, David Anderson, for the consistent support over the run up to the event. For taking such beautiful images for me to share with you all and for carrying all of my stuff through on the train across from Edinburgh to Glasgow. I no way would ever, or could ever have done it without him.
