Blogger Of The Month: Kim, Love Cloth!

The past few weeks have gone so fast I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted! I have been working hard at my job, and buying lots of things- I have a haul post planned for the weekend! It's a sad week this week because obviously I was supposed to be going skiing but after I was made redundant could no longer afford it, so have been missing my boyfriend and friends who did get to go
:(

Anyway sad point over, it is a new month which means I get to pick a new blogger of the month, and this month I choose Kim from Love Cloth! I only discovered Kims blog in the past few months and am so glad I did because I absolutely love her style. Kim shares my love of chelsea boots, collars and hats and her style is really simple and laid back, plus she always looks so happy and cheery! I've picked a few of my favourite of her outfits to show you and if you've never seen her blog before I would definitely recommend a look here!

The other thing I love about her blog is that she plays around a lot with her images and often layers her images with illustrations or text, which is something I would love to try. The layout of Love Cloth is also really simple and and minimal which reflects Kims style and her images are really beautiful and often shot is gorgeous locations. A lot of her outfits are sweet feminine dresses which she toughens up with boots, or 60's style items brought up to date with a hat or great pair of new shoes. Kim seems like she has amazing natural style and her outfits always seem really well pulled together - she has her style pinned down!

What do you think of Kims style? Is she a already one of your favourite bloggers, or one you've just discovered?

This season I have been so excited about the J.W Anderson collection for Topshop I completely missed out on the excitement for Lana Del Rey at H&M. Whilst I know it's hard to compare a sought after designer collaboration to a singer/celebrity collection this feels like a pretty big deal to me! I wasn't sure how I felt about Lana Del Rey; I love her voice and her style but I heard loads of weird things about her being manufactured and it put me off a bit, but after seeing this I am in love all over again! I absolutely love a good concept for a collection, something where you can really see the inspiration and feel totally immersed in the designers vision, where music, interiors, graphics are all just as important as the garments! This 1950's style collection is beautiful, the clothes look feminine and elegant yet are toughened up by leather and patent heels. The song is just as beautiful and I love the way the backgrounds of the lookbook and garments is just a simple pastel colour, feels like its focusing all the attention on the clothes whilst remaining true to the style.

My favourite item so far has to be the Angora style pink jumper; i've just ordered this online and am already considering ordering one of the shirts too! I love the studded collar shirt but also don't think it's as special as the floral, I haven't seen anything similar to that anywhere, it looks like it came straight off the runway. As for the shoes i'm not really a heel person but I just love the nude colour of these, wish they came in a flat version!
