Ted Baker

Hello!

Sorry, i have had a bit of a break from blogging while i take care of my university studies, my deadlines crept up on me and i found myself blogging to avoid doing work. Also as some of you know i have not been very well, but i am now getting treatment so im back to blogging and getting on with life.

One of my deadlines was for a Buying and Merchandising project which was for the brand Ted Baker.

For those who do not know the brand, Ted Baker is a british brand, its aimed at young professionals who want to look good and want to take what they wear from the office to the bar. Ted Baker take tailored well fitting clothes and adds a quirky spin on the products by making them bright and colourful, as well as introducing their bold prints that the brand is known for.

These are my picks from their recent collection:

Floral Scarf £85

Crystal Studded Maxi Dress £229

Dog Print Tee £45

Mint Green Bow Bag £29

Monochrome Dress £179

I can recommend visiting Ted Bakers various websites. As well as Facebook and Twitter they have their own blog,  as well as lots of non transactional websites, such as one showing their accessories range.

Style crush, Taylor Swift

I want to try and do regular Style crush posts, focusing on a style icon, be it a musician, actress, stylist or designer.

I am starting with a musician i have mentioned a lot, Taylor Swift. She gets a lot of stick for her behaviour and her relationships but i have to say I love her style and more recently she has been looking very elegant.

This purple dress was worn by Taylor in 2008. although its a bit too girly and glitzy for me i think the colour is great on her, and considering her age at the time, a good choice.

This Reem Acra dress, worn by taylor in 2009 is also very glitzy, and very princess like. I love her hair in this image and the dress reminds me of  the Thierry Mugler Alien perfume advert

Taylor is a huge fan of red, and i am a huge fan of this dress! the sweetheart neckline is her trademark recently and the slit adds just a little sex appeal

This look is lovely, big fussy dress but simple hair and makeup. i love the little flash of green and think her hair looks super sleek.

Another fairytale princess look for Taylor but i love the split fringe and A-line shape

This casual look Taylor wore while performing is great, nautical themed casual but fun. its very flattering.

Speaking of flattering this white suit is very grown up and teamed with her trademark red lipstick looks very glam.

I love the jacket in this casual look, teamed with a day dress- she usually goes to tea length with pretty patterns, often featuring birds.

This editorial shows how to get Taylor's look, i love this monochrome dress, and although she wore this months ago, it suits the current monochrome trend, i think ill be looking to get a dress like this. 

I was astounded when i saw Taylor in this dress, the shape adds so many curves to her petite form and the colour is drop dead gorgeous! And as i have said before i love a backless dress!

In the same week she wore this dress- another love of mine. It is very classic and elegant but the low cut makes it sexy. Because she has a small chest she can get away with it without being trashy.

And following from that white dress, she wore this one. Again more back detail, a win with me! I love the updated grecian style and that she has matched her hair with the theme. Very chic.

Who is your style crush this week?
