Saturated Seventies

Inspired by the photo shoot 'Like dreamers do' by photographer Tim Walker for Vogue Magazine back in 2012, here are a collection of over saturated, soft focus but vibrant photographs that give off a boho glam, 1970s feel. 

Many of my family photos from the 1970s have faded with a red saturation which adds to the way I see the 1970s in my mind, there is a look of nostalgia and a glamorous time, even though the 1970s was far from it, I just love the vibrant colours and the hazy style, even if it is seen through rose tinted sunglasses.

The style itself is a great inspiration and continuation into the winter months for all those among us longing to get back into their festival glitters and sparkles or for those seventies style vintage lovers wearing bespoke,original fashion pieces.

The colours are warm, dark and much more suited to the winter, in rich burgundies, burnt oranges, crimson reds and dark purples with some electric blue thrown in.

By adding faux fur coats, psychedelic tights, tasselled scarves, flared sleeves, baby doll dresses, sequins and velvets to your winter wardrobe you can keep the bohemian festival style and a love of vintage going through the winter. Perhaps a perfect alternative to that sparkling Christmas outfit? The weather my be cold but you are looking hot!

Super cute pastels

No Debutante has always been a fan of sugar sweet pastels, it's the perfect contrast from the androgynous styling and oversized layers. Lately I have picked up some rather cute pastel pieces including the super cute pink puma trainers with the double ribbon laces and how about the cuddly cropped Lazy Oaf cardigan? Not sure about the whole pastel look? Why not get your mermaid pastel nails did?  Add some pastels into your wardrobe this winter x

Sheer Love

Nothing new here, just a continuing love affair between sheer dresses, t-shirts and kimonos! If you are not up for the full on show your undies sheers, especially in these colder months, why not try adding a sheer top layer to your outfit like GEM's colourful sheer jacket or Neat Frontage's appliqued Kimono? Wear a long sleeve t-shirt over last seasons sheer slip dress with some trousers or leggings underneath, that'll keep you warm but will also add a new layer to your look. 

Yeah, the images below are giving off summer vibes but get inspired, how can you make sheers work for you this winter? Sheers can work all year round layered up, have fun with it AND give it a go!

Lazy Oaf drops G.E.M a super cute new label with balls

Lazy Oaf have dropped the cutest new collection named G.E.M, a venture label to Lazy Oaf by founder Gemma Shiel, who wants to make G. E.M a fashion label for girls with balls! Gemma wanted this new label to be even more surreal and weird, with an element of glamour, mystery and excitement! This is all sounds right up No Debutante's street! There are some rock'n'roll punk elements to the first G.E.M collection with a pastel cute aspect that Lazy Oaf are known and loved for, G.E.M adds some rebellious glamour that makes it stand apart from Lazy Oaf's goofy-cool streetwear style. Check out my favourite pieces below and sigh over their beautifullness....

Add some Flare

Fashion should not be dictated, nobody should feel bad about not owning the next big thing or feel consumed to buy into a certain look because everyone else is. Let the world around you inspire and influence you to create your own version of the things you like and if you are anything like No Debutante, pile them all on at once!

The No Debutante blog is here to the latest fashion news from independent designers, Bristol fashion, sustainable fashion and all the bright and colourful things going on in the No Debutante world!

This post is part of a small series of looks that I have been inspired by over the past month which will feature my latest fashion crushes, influences and current obsessions.

The return of Bell-bottoms

These flared beauties were not something I personally saw returning to my wardrobe anytime soon but they just started to pull me in, until I found myself eyeing up a lovely ribbed pair of scallop hemmed bell-bottoms in Topshop...

Check out the latest frilled detailed bell-bottoms in bright colours below. Black is clearly more flattering but you know how No Debutante loves bright colours!

Those Topshop Bell-bottoms that made me by them!

This years Joggers

What about the new go faster stripe sports flares?? This mash up hybrid of the bell-bottom and (last years big thing) the tracksuit bottom adds a new take on both garments. The side stripe is still there but a fastening has been added to the side seam, giving you the chance to create a new flare to your fave jogger pants with a big nod to the nineties.
