Blogger of the Moment: Columbine Smille

Columbine_Header_01

The absolutely beautiful Swedish blogger, model and stylist for Style by (Elin Kling’s magazine) Columbine Smille is not just WD’s blog of the moment but also one of my fashion muses!

Smille has the ability to effortlessly style her outfits with a mixture of designer pieces, high street fashion and vintage finds. Her laid-back, ‘model off duty’ style is gorgeous and truly inspirational.

It is clear that the foundation of an amazing outfit is the simple, classic pieces; essentials like boyfriend jeans, plain tees, chunky knits, coats, layering and gorgeous accessories!

“My Grandma has always had a strong impact on me. She’s the type of lady that walks around the house wearing leopard printed blouses, caftans and golden heels. I’m inspired by strong women who have the ability to transform their visions into reality and possess the sort of confidence that shines through and creates an aura around them”

I never leave my house without… “My watch, multiple bracelets and necklaces from Stephanie Radenac and Maria Nidotter. I can’t leave without accessories!!”

I love mixing bold prints and colours and playing with contrasts; the contrast is what makes the outfit interesting. Also, I’m all for layering, but in a feminine sort of way. Just because you don’t show that much skin doesn’t mean that it’s not sexy. For me that’s way more confident.”

WILDDARTS EDIT – NEW YORK FASHION WEEK PART 2

ALICE + OLIVIA

This season at Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet was inspired by the 1950′s American dream.

I’m loving the high necklines, the prints and structure of the collection. Also, I love the creative direction of the setting, the splashes of colour in the background clash well and compliment the pieces.

BRANDON SUN

At Brandon Sun, I really enjoyed the accessories! The fur necklace and bracelet shown in my edit below are very interesting pieces and take the clothes to another level.

The first and second looks in my edit have a very ‘free’ feel! I like the cuts and structure of these pieces – as well with the dusty colours!

The third look in my edit has lovely pockets and what appears to be a zip?! Very edgy! The razor tank top of the dress also brings out this feeling.

JOSIE NATORI

Let me start by saying I LOVE the headpieces! The lovely orchids give the collection a tropical, resort vibe which is lovely! As this IS spring/summer! – Maybe thats the Australian part of me talking!

The shoes are also another stand out for me – which are a first for the designer!

In the first look for my edit – I love the lightweight and airy feel of the blouse! The flowers around the base make it very pretty. The pants are also very airy and light.

The second look.. wow! Can’t go past that clutch! Very ornate and shows the designers Philippine heritage. Textures were a key aspect of this collection which I loved.

MARC JACOBS

Perfectly described on style.com by Tim Banks – “21st century split of Edie Sedgwick”

Loved the striped tee and the candy striped, scolloped edged slip dress :)

REEM ACRA

Loving the sexy low cut blouses and dress necklines! I love the sheer panel in the blouse below and could seriously see someone wearing the second look on a red carpet!

THEYSKENS’ THEORY

Theyskens’ Theory is seriously grungy but in a good way! The looks below are very wearable. My favourite being look three – I love the jacket and the thigh high split in the high waisted skirt.

VICTORIA, VICTORIA BECKHAM

This lower priced line by Victoria Beckham is seriously wearable (in my opinion!) I like the oversized tee-dress that has a dip dye quality to it – the blue is very refreshing!

Prints were nice too.. loved the black and white florals.

JENNY PACKHAM

Below is my favourite look from Jenny Packham, Love the hair, the print and cut of the dress – beautiful!

RODARTE

Love the greens in this seasons collection by Rodarte. Another stand out piece were these kick ass pants!

VERA WANG

Taking inspiration from India for her Spring/Summer collection, Vera Wang had amazing textures and colours! My favourites being the crisp whites and purples! Love the shoes also!!

ELIZABETH AND JAMES

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen always have impeccable taste when it comes to clothing and their clothing labels are no different. My favourite looks from this seasons collection for Elizabeth and James include this crisp white jumpsuit and the black v neck silk blouse and to the ankle wrap skirt. Love the wooden looking bangles as well.

J. MENDEL

10 years since Gilles Mendel launched J.Mendel ready to wear! This seasons collection were based around watercoloured materials, v necks and ornate prints.

JEREMY SCOTT

Jeremy Scott was filled with golds and leathers! I loved the looks below. Something drew me to these sheer pants with baroque gold embellishments.

LOUISE GOLDIN

There was a sporty and casual vibe at the Louise Goldin spring summer show. I loved the sweatshirts and skirts below!

PROENZA SCHOULER

LOVE the sport-esque jacket and the high necked sheer printed dress below!

RACHEL ZOE

Naming Jane Birkin and Talitha Getty as her muses, Rachel Zoe’s spring summer collection has had mixed reviews. My favourite look from her collection is this spectacular sequined slouchy dress. All I can say is that Rachel Zoe knows her shit when it comes to red carpet looks and this look I can tell will be snapped up by someone for sure!

Slowly catching up with things! Stay glued to Wilddarts for the London edit which will be published tomorrow :)
