Last week I got to go to the Rare Press Day at the swish Groucho Club in Soho, avec Fiona, Ozzy and Reena to see their offerings for next Spring. Rare is stocked in Topshop amongst the numerous concession brands that are continuing to improve their stock and severely tempt my wallet. I'd always associated the brand with glitzy party dresses and lot's of glamour but being a scruff, I was quite delighted with the 90s vibe of the more casual pieces.
This looks like something straight out of Clueless and I could definitely see myself teaming it with some high waisted denim shorts and white brogues next Summer.
Cute t-shirt dress with a print from outer space
Candy coloured stripes make this dress very pretty and just itching to be teamed with some Doc Martens
Also loved this longline military cardigan, perfect over a skater dress and teamed with some brown brogues
Really crazed looking picture, where I tried to look unaware of the photographer. I also realised that a visit to the hairdresser is necessary very soon.

This press event was a rather swanky affair, with cocktails, manicures, miniature hamburgers and goody bags, making it quite a change to a typical Wednesday evening. I'm obsessed with any shade of grey and wanted my nails to follow suit; I might just have to splash out on this Nails inc colour...
Afterwards we decided to go for some dim sum, but managed to catch the Luella for Liberty Christmas Shop type thing before the store closed. A great place to get expensive yet much coveted stocking fillers, such as mini Vivienne Westwood purses and floral headbands. Very jealous of any millionaire's daughters who might wake up on Christmas morning with all of this stuff under the tree.
Wow, love all the pieces you featured! it sounds like such a fun event... I'm mega jealous I wasn't there! Though I get to meet you all soon :)

Love the military jacket and the nail colour :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what fun!! Yeah I work at Topshop and I always find that the rare stuff is either really cool or really shit. They seem to have a bit of an identity crisis going on. I think they should steer away from the glitz and stick with the cool stuff (we had a sailor playsuit in a few months ago. So good!)

ReplyDeleteI saw the sweater with the sheer back the other day - I need it! I also need to invest in some grey nail polish - it looks so chic on you! The luella stuff looks gorgeous - what a fun day you had! :) x
ReplyDeleteI really like the nail colour.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Luella fabric, at uni we get fabric donated to us from different designer/brands to use to make tioles for projects... and for some reason Luella donated some.
Had I had known what I know now, I would have taken taken some of the floral print fabrics too.
That military jacket is golden! Love the blog, too.
