Sophie Palmer - Mother of Pearl

When deciding your favourite designer never does one name stick, more an array of diverse possibilities: The decision quickly turned to what collection would I not be able to live without this Autumn Winter.

Whilst my particular interest in style is somewhat confused and can really only be determined by what side of the bed I roll from that morning, never have I been one of those individuals that can choose an outfit optimistically the night before and stick with it the next morning. Yes, this is a natural gift some are born with others unfortunately like me not so gifted.

Always partial to a cute blouse or five, I am beyond excited about Mother of Pearl’s latest collection. The sheer high necks, the varied sizes of neck ties and my personal favourite floral prints combined with stripe polo collars and front zip fastenings; the rib cuffs on girly peasant tops are a refreshing nod to this year’s 70’s Boehme trend with sporty elements adding a new and modern perspective on a trend that has been restyled relentlessly. A fan of mixing fabrics I love the navy/pink leather long line bomber with blackcurrant fur hem and cuffs, dressed with ankle socks and loafers - my heart is all a flutter. The jacquard and small check fabrics make this an eclectic toss up of ladylike tendencies, with a heart for comfort, a boyish attitude and flair in dressing up.
