The Pantone Party.

This season sees a whole new take on the pantone colour of 2013- Emerald.

What was once known only as a coveted gemstone that contains a variety of the minerals beryl, chromium and vanadium [yes I just wiki’d that.] now colours the hues that grace the shelves of our favourite stores. As the fash pack swarm in armed with skinny latte’s in preparation for the looming LFW next week, it’s the perfect time to splash the pantone colour of the year across your wardrobes. 

Here are a few of The Little Londonist’s favourite pieces:

Back to school has never been so fashionable with this detachable peter-pan crystal embellished collar number from No. 21 that you can steal from here. 

  

This swing dress asos beauty that you can collect here

These peg legged pirate inspired trousers that'll cinch in your waist while elongating your legs- warning: how ever comfortable flat shoes may appear, save yourself the oompa look and go for the heels! The higher the better! Find them here. 

Strut your stuff into next season in these weapons of mass destruction from the new AW13 collection from ground breaking designer AZZEDINE ALAÏA that you can get your fashion mitts on here. 

My fashion follicles tingled at the discovery of this number from Manchester based fashion house Glamorous. Rock it with biker boots and a leather jacket, or go all Jackie-O and slim line pumps and tweed blazer it- it is impossible to look bad in this creation! Find this and other designer steals here! 

Splash this across your wardrobe guys! 

The Book Club

TBC no longer stands for to be confirmed, the Fash pack have coined the term and have launched a new category of vessels to hold our daily essentials. Gone are the days of the single function tote, rucksack and satchel and sweeping in from ‘far far away’ comes the book clutch.  

Floating somewhere in between the dimensions of a satchel and clutch, the book clutch borrows the covers of your favorite classic story tales and emblazons them across the front of your carrier.  

My personal favourite happens to be this little carrier I came across on online seller forum Etsy.com which you can find here

A Little Princess was one of my favorite books growing up, and most of my childhood was spent swanning around with my partner in crime, otherwise known as my sister, trying to convince our family that we were in fact princesses. While the reality of the situation may have hit us rather unceremoniously [prince charming that nincompoop is probably stuck up a tree], I will without doubt be practicing my princess wave with this badboy hanging from my arm!

 Another of my favorites happens to be this uber sleek book clutch of All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy that you can purchase here 

See...those lessons in school were true- Books ARE cool!
