Beth Sprouts Trend; it's furverted

Well I don't know what's gotten into designers for AW13-14...it all seems a bit furverted. I know furs are a classic winter warmer, although not in the beth sprouts wardrobe, but it's on everything. Furry knickers anyone?

See below, ranging from Simone Rocha to Prada, Christopher Kane etc. Main culprit is certainly Marni. Also included some feathers for good measure.

Beth Sprouts Inspiration; how very dare he!

Frustration!!

I have been particularly inspired by those loose luminous waterproof workwear jackets and trousers. Our cleaner at work was sporting a pair of trews the other day and looked fabulous.

I thought, hmm you could silk them up and make them a bit 'luxe'.

Oh well, Ashish has got there first,
the son of a gun...

Beth Sprouts; They're back

(To Jaws Theme) De num, de num, deeee numdenumdenumdenumdenum - ARGHHHH!!! I feel like my mother when I came home with bell bottoms on in the return of the flare in what, 2000-1? 'I used to wear them when I was a teenager, you can't do that'.

But are hipsters, yes hipsters, so bad?

If you remember these pantie crimes, then probably. Cheers Jodie Marsh.

So creeping onto the scene for A/W 13-4...

Rodarte

Alexander Wang

Altuzurra

I'm not sure what to think yet, from fear more than anything, that I can remember a time that is now considered vintage, and scared we are 'revisiting' the 90s. How can I revisit - I'm still there baby!

Beth Sprouts Handmade; 3 way

In my feeble little mind I believed this to be truelly revolutionary. One bag - 3 ways! Until. I was poo-pooed by a man.
First way: a simple clutch with large bow
Second way: a shoulder bag turning your clutch into a useful for dancing with bag
Third way: a long strapped bag for chucking over the shoulder in the cycle ride home
WOW

But no, apparantly it is one bag, and still silly because you can't fit a laptop or wear it as a rucksac.

Who uses a laptop? It fits an ipad.

Beth Sprouts Handmade; money shot

Ahoy there! A little snap of my first dip into true RTW. My new Jonathan Saunders tee. Plus a handmade red crepe skirt with front tie bow.

Beth Sprouts Purchases; flat as a pancake

Thrilled, positively beaming. Well that might be going too far. But check out my charity shop find...actually purchased 18 months ago, but relavent, oh yes! Noticed this page in March's ELLE. My lovely italian leather pointies are bang on.

Beth Sprouts Inspiration; sumsumsum
