The traditional British seaside holiday comes to life in Orla Kiely’s Spring Summer 2010 collection. Inspired by Cornish boat scenes and Patrick Heron paintings, the result is seaside symbols in beautiful fabrics, soft shapes and colours.

 

 

I discovered the brand a year ago, and since, I’m addicted to it. Every collection Orla creates, it’s full of innocence, freshness, with a colorful and playful touch. All her designs are so unique, and so, the patterns. The mix of vintage looks, babydoll and elegance, brings back the so popular theme for this Spring Summer 2010; Lolita.

I couldn’t resist to pop into one of the Orla Kiely stores in London, Covent Garden, and I must say that, even tough the prices are a bit high, the quality and finishing of each item, really worth’s it.

Oh ! And those sunglasses, are gorgeous. And they are the perfect ones to replace my old Ray Ban that everyone is wearing now a day.

Sorry for not having posted for a while now, but my time has been consumed as the speed of light and don’t know where exactly it disappeared. Not a good excuse but I promise I’ll try and catch it up.

Well, last week was my birthday, carnival and also had friends over, so it didn’t give me enough time to take care of Lady Marshmallow, however I have been working hard on my collection that I hope to launch mid March.

Lolita and Navy is two of my biggest themes for this SS 2010 collection and bellow you can find two images that inspired me on it, Kubricks movie Lolita and the beautiful David Hamilton pictures full of femininity, nature and flower power.

 

 

Also I have been addicted to watch promotional short-films with a fairy tale inspired scenes, such as Spell for Lula Magazine, Dollhouse by Ellen Von Unwerth, Magnolia Tree and Island, that you can find bellow by Stella McCartney for Net-a-Porter. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do, a dreamy wonderful world that I wish to live in.

It’s hard to get rid of the Navy trend, that has been imposing fashion for a while now. And I’m not at all surprise how those cute little blue, white, baby doll, Lolita dresses, are hypnotizing all of us, at least myself. I’m addicted to all styles and shapes. From pants, dresses, dungarees, always while they keep the navy theme.

Here is a selection of  my favorite clothing and accessory items that I found on Internet.

Keep the navy theme, with some inspiring nautical Toms shoes, or even those lovely Vintage saddle shoes, that will look gorgeous with a dress, dungaree, shorts, etc… Also, a nice pair of ballerinas will look great, and if you rather go for high heels, try a pair of the so trendy clogs, similar to the ones Chanel exposed on its SS 2010 catwalk.

 

Nautical looks are everywhere at the moment, so it will be very easy to find similar clothing, accessories and shoes around your closest hig street stores. If you didn’t find anything yet, just wait for a little while that they bring out the Spring collection.

Also please check my Etsy store, as I have two gorgeous vintage Navy dresses and a lovely pair of vintage saddle shoes.
