A Seaside Adventure with Izzy Stocks
If you’re looking for a sun-filled getaway that’s more near than far, take a ride through Kent’s idyllic countryside and coastal charm to once-a-traditional seaside resort; Margate. Boasting retro arcades, a historical clock tower, quaint and quirky boutiques and bistros, a world-class art gallery (the Turner Centre), and a glorious stretch of golden sand, Margate oozes charisma. It was even featured on The 2011 Vogue Blog, and this year it won a coveted place in the 2013 Rough Guides Travel Hotlist; no doubt for its newly cultured Old Town and effortlessly hip vibe. Living twenty minutes away from this seafront scene, I am absolutely one of many drawn to Margate’s…

Izzy Stocks Blogs On Sweet Shop Shades
We all swooned over the delectable, baby blue Matthew Williamson frock that Sienna Miller wore to this year’s BAFTA awards. And the fact that the pastel delight came from Williamson’s A/W ’13 collection is pure evidence that candy hues are sticking around (see what I did there?!) S/S’13 boasted spearmint greens in the form of Mulberry’s soft separates whilst sherbet yellows, lavenders and toned down corals were all palatably mixed at Erdem, proving A/W will favor the ultimate womanly hue. Simone Rocha’s fitted peter pan coats were reminiscent of a tasty winter sorbet, while Celine’s blush coloured beauties looked almost fizzy. It seems Sienna is not the only A-lister indulging…

Trend Alert: Blueprint
Blue and White is the most eye-catching colour combination for SS’13, leading to a host of delicate China blue and striking mosaic prints. On the catwalk, designer’s played with every shade of blue – from bright cobalt’s at Burberry, Versace, Etro and Felder Felder to lady-like cornflower shades at Chalayan and aquamarine at Zac Posen. But in the end it was the prints which really took our collective breaths away. Giorgio Armani, Gucci and Thakoon all chose to mix their blue’s with aqua’s and fresh whites, the later of which featured butterfly and floral motifs in directional shapes and a mix of sheer and high gloss fabrics. In London it…
