This weekend we decided to explore family favourite, high street fashion stores to browse through the ultimate buys influencing fashion enthusiasts, as new inventories were gradually released... Our adventures started in Topshop - it remains one of the nation's most popular destinations for trends and has a particularly niche target market, that generalises in the 'preppy' generation / geek chic. We realised there wasn't a lot of discounted stock, and we recognised reoccurring statements from last year, such as the scallop edged tops, and the more recent hype, turtle neck tops, that felt more in tune with the season. 1950's flaired hems that exhibit feministic expressions, emphasising young ladies frames, hence their malleable material and stretchy soft fabric, such as polyester, acrylic and lyocell.

After an inspirational speech, some banter and bubbles, the catwalk was brought to life with the hustle and anticipation of what was in awe for the evening. We began with some gorgeous evening and formal wear, which was absolutely, beautifully modelled by the girls.  Each with their unique presence, in style and in characteristics, we were all really pleased for them, they had entertained us with some really well-orchestrated looks of Spring/Summer '15.

The night included some make-up tutorials however, I wandered into the store to unveil my own tips of the evening with a de...
