The Row

Since we are in the lull before Fashion Week begins later this month, with fashionistas and fashion houses alike tending to last minute outfit changes and show stylings, I thought I would look back at one of my favourite Designers from last season;

The Row. 

The Row was started in 2007 by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It almost happened by chance, as Ashley set out to design the perfect "plain white tee" for herself and inadvertantly produced a must have garment for women of all shapes and sizes all over America. From there, Ashley and her twin sister, Mary-Kate, have taken the fashion world by storm by creating utterly understated, wearable and yet luxurious clothes in collections which do not disappoint from season to season.

The Row's designs are constantly well tailored, made with sumptuous fabrics and styled with covetable accessories. 

I love this fur jacket! Perfect with the leopard scarf and shoes!

The running theme of the collection was a form of relaxed tailoring; the high quality tailoring is a constant, with a slight edge appearing in the carrot shaped cropped trousers and oversized, sloping hoods.

The price of the collection remains true to the couture world The Row resides in with a dress setting you back at least £1,000 and a simple t-shirt £200 or more, but with the fabrics and tailoring being second to none, it is worth it for investment and staple basics which will last for years to come.

I for one am looking forward to what they come up with next...

Ibiza Rocks

My friends and I went to go see the inbetweeners movie last night and we thought it was absolutely hilarious! What did you guys think? I think we enjoyed it even more because of the fact that a lot of similar , crazy, memorable things happened in the film that happened to us on our girls 'vaca' to Ibiza just a few weeks ago. It also gave us some major holiday blues...we want to go back! 

IBIZA 2012 is calling us! 

Here are a few pictures as shrine to our fantastic August holiday to the gorgeous San Antonio Bay in Ibiza

Shoes are a friends.

I will miss those beautiful sunsets

Ibiza was a stunning place as well as being full of life. Our nights were filled with dancing and fueled with malibu and lemonades. Our days were spend in the hot hot sun and preferably as close to the sea/pool as possible for regular cool-off dips! My friends and I were smiling constantly and so was everyone else...enough said!

Ibiza Really Does Rock

Hey, my name's Elise and this is my blog, Little Love Bird.

 This blog will be a way for me to express myself on anything that takes my fancy; from Fashion to Technology, Gossip to Politics (although, I can promise there won't be much of that unless I am really reaaallly bored!) A few things you should know about me; 1. I love style... many would say I love fashion and I do, but fashions go in and out, style is eternal. 2. I love people... I could people watch all day long and could spend the rest of may days reading autobiographies! 3. I love to travel... I was born in London but was swiftly moved to the USA to live at just a few weeks old and have been back and forth and here and there ever since. If I weren't in fashion, I would loved to have been a pilot! 4. I love LOVE... I think that sometimes people forget how important in life it is to just forget everything else and just love. My family, boyfriend and friends are the most cherished things in my life. 5. I love to be a little random... What's life without a little crazy?! haha

 I am currently an undergraduate student about to enter my third and last year of university and then I will be out in the big bad working world with all the big bad bosses....but I cannot wait! The next seven to eight months of my life will be my last in education, so I will have to decide what I want to do with my career (and myself!) indefinitely after that! A scary thought but one I am excited to make! 

Just a little general 'hello' there really, I hope you enjoy my blog, Elise x
