Fashion: Upcycled Fashion from The Colour Edit

The Colour Edit is a brand new online store with a difference and presented to you by fashion blogger Abbie Tanner from Fashiontatt and yours truly.

Long time friends, Abbie and I have been passionate about thrift fashion for years but were still astounded at the number of people who still wouldn’t set foot in a thrift/charity store. Wanting to take out the stigma attached to second hand clothing, we decided to showcase the best in high quality thrift fashion and present them in seasonal trend-led ‘Colour Edits’ to show how on-trend and seriously affordable second hand style can really be.

We both studied fashion at university with Abbie now a successful buyer and merchandiser and award nominated fashion blogger, so expect to see the label’s collections styled like a pro over at fashiontatt.blogspot.com. With my experience in the fashion and trends forecasting industry, I help direct The Colour Edit’s seasonal colour palette choices. We also love customising when we spot potential so expect to see one-off custom upcycled garments including the Tropical pink custom cropped top that’s on sale now!

With bargain hunting being the mantra for The Colour Edit’s buying strategy, we aim to relay this savvy price point for customers, seeing prices range from just £5-£50. So go find a bargain now and invest in some unique thrifted fashion that goes beyond seasonal definition.

Fashion Week: Better late than never!

You may notice Fashion Week passed and I didn’t post a picture of a single outfit – unfortunately this season I didn’t have the pleasure of working with the runway images but I did spot this little beauty of a dress by 3.1 Philip Lim and now finally have the time to share!

I just love the rich navy blue, the flattering panelling and the drop shoulder sleeves, just perfect and all kinds of me! I need to get me some knee high boots as well it seems in time for next winter!

I’ve also been attending the autumn/winter 13/14 fashion press days for work and spotted an absolutely gorgeous Alice by Temperley gown (see below) which is now on my wishlist to wear to some swanky occasion – hell, I’d be happy just to wear this in my bedroom in front of the mirror ha! I’ll be posting a round up of the season soon!
