Sister Jane


Today I thought I would do a post on one of my favourite brands; Sister Jane, i'm not quite sure how I discovered this brand, I think it might have been in Topshop Oxford Street, but i'm so glad I did because the clothes are gorgeous and I love the ethos behind the company. Sold as a concession in Topshop and ASOS, Bea Deza is the woman behind the brand who also just happens to be the coolest woman in the world! My favourite thing about their website is the blog which accompanies it, showing intimate and interesting pictures of the life and career of Bea Deza. The clothes are eclectic and bring together two of my favourite styles; 90's grunge and 60's bohemia, I am pretty much in love with the sheer panel dress below! Although technically a Spanish brand, Bea describes it as English as it was 'born in London' and to be honest it just makes me want to start up my own designs because the clothes are just so perfect for me. 

Sister Jane brings out a new collection as often as every 6 weeks and this time you will find 'Death in Glendale', which features monochrome shirts accompanied by printed trousers, velvet dresses, maxi skirts and baroque, sheer panelled blouses. The clothes are dramatic and luckily not ridiculously  expensive, dresses start at £65 and currently both Topshop and ASOS have some items in their sale! 




As I have a slight girl crush on Bea Deza I wanted to show you guys some photos of her style which you can find here on the Sister Jane blog. I love her excessive use of rings, which I can relate to, and the way she wears quite feminine dresses but toughens them up with hats, boots and 'boyish' styling. You can also find some pretty cool images of her apartment in Madrid here which features some fantastic furniture and eclectic interior design.

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!
