Ted Baker Spring/Summer 2013

Here are my favourite outfits from the SS13 Ted Baker lookbook, enjoy!
The whole lookbook can be viewed here

I LOVE this look! The trousers feature a beautifully summer pattern with sharp photographs of
 flowers combined in an arty print. The lime jacket, top and shoes compliment
the design brilliantly. A style any fashionista would be proud to wear.

Any colour-coordinators dream!

Stand out in a lime green maxi dress this summer. Beautiful when combined with matching accessories.
Would look fantastic with this short jacket.

Stunningly elegant in pale pink.

One of the feature pieces from the Langley collection. Compliments any figure with its flared skirt.

I just love this picture.

A look from the men's collection. Gorgeous. 

The Nude Heels..

Nude heels must have been the individual must-have item for 2011 going into 2012. Made most famous by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, they've been seen all over the red carpet during the past year. Designers such as Ted Baker have used them to show off their collections (and to be honest, don't you wish you could look like those you see wearing them? Yeah thought so). A leg-lengthening pair can be worn under anything; from dressed down jeans and top, or up, with a ball gown fit for a high school prom. Let's just wish that a pair of Louboutins magically arrive in the post.. Well, a girl can dream right?

Beautiful Butterflies

 Ted Baker's Autumn/Winter '11 collection butterfly print has been seen EVERYWHERE in the last few months. Although a lot pinkier and paler, Boots used the print in their Ted Baker collection, most prominently on the 'Make It Big' Vanity Case: a gorgeous circular case with large versions of all the pieces in the Origami and Butterfly ranges. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one when they were selling half price for £19! (A bargain in my opinion) The print appears much darker and denser on Ted's Womenswear collections, where the background is more mushroomy than dusty pink and the whole lot is darker on the back of the top.

2011 Review

My favourite collections and pieces of 2011

Ted Baker Bird Cage Print Collection


"Recreating the delicacy and detail of vintage bird cages through fine pencil drawings, Ted developed this unforgettable print for his Spring/Summer 11 Womenswear collection. Featuring birds perched on or inside the various cages with a shot of colour and playfulness across all styles and fabrics, it offers a feminine and appealing design that women have taken to their hearts."

The collection comprises of many different pieces, from maxi dresses to bikinis and Ted's signature IKON style bag, but the pinnacle must be the beautiful embellished dress shown below.

Mulberry Trippy Tiger Collection

This bright, fun and playful print on the successful Mulberry shapes makes this collection standout as one of the best of 2011. Pictured here in the Bayswater variety, I've worn this bag out with many different outfits and have received many compliments regarding it. 

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Collection

This range of sheer lipsticks were widely anticipated in the early months of 2011. "Fresh, sheer and luminous, Rouge Coco Shine provides beautiful, lasting moisturizing shine in a water – light texture. The formula glides on for easy application, and a unique Hydratendre complex hydrates and softens lips, giving them a healthier and fuller appearance."  Each of the 18 shades is linked to the world of Coco Chanel: each a source of inspiration or influence that profoundly impacted her life. My favourite is 'CHANCE' a powder pink shade which is perfect for a casual daytime look. Sheer delight!

Ted Baker CICI

This gorgeous printed slouch top is part of Ted Baker's ballet inspired range. The front is made from 100% polyester with a lovely silky feel while the back is made from 100% Lyocell, meaning the whole top has a wonderful drape and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Written inside each ballet shoe is the inscription "THE MISSING SLIPPER, RETURNED BY HER PRINCE CHARMING....LOVE TED". The shoes are surrounded with pale pink tissue paper and ribbon in a shoe box, all in all making a really pretty print, my favourite Ted Baker piece of the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. It is, of course, part of the 'Ballet Fever Set To Hit Fashion World' after Black Swan was released in 2011. The shape of the top is very flattering and therefore you can choose to wear a size lower than what you usually do (I know it shouldn't make a difference, but let's face it, it does. Wearing a size 2 gives instantly more confidence when you step out of the house). Overall, this is a fantastic edition to my wardrobe and I'll be wearing it tonight for New Year's Eve and welcoming in 2012!
