a photo a day: liberty love

This is a new collection Liberty's have pulled out of the bag (excuse the pun, i'm terrible). I absolutely love the pops of neon. I'v been a fan of neon since my final collection but did worry that it'd be a short lived and could very easily be tacky. Do you remember the trend in the early noughts when neon/eighties and everyone wore sweatbands? I absolutely did not wear sweat bands *blush*. Its seems neon and an overload of colour has taken a very sophisticated turn, lead the way liberties.

a photo a day: SS13 look book

I haven't blogged about my summer collection lookbook yet so here is a look at it. I had this made prior to my exhibition at New Designers, a little sample book that potential clients could have a browse through and see my collection on paper. I'm so inspired by this collection, the colours scream luxury, holiday/ care free vibrancy. Now, which way to the beach?

a photo a day: silk scarf styling

I've been re-photographing my spring/summer scarf collection and absolutely falling in love with them all over again, I'm generally a very modest/ self critical person (a trait I think most designers can swear by) but after seeing these on film, i'm proud of their loveliness. Take a look on my website for more pics. 

a photo a day: summer scarves SS13

A photo a day: website update

Here is a little peek at my new website. (Apologies for the shameful self plugging post, someones gotta do it). I've spruced it up a little made it a bit more directional for my target audience/clients. I'm still working on my look book for AW13 where you'll see my brand new collection of silk scarves along with a new collection of soft furnishings! AND you'll be able to buy it aaaall online! Excited? I hope so! Take a look and please share! www.zaravictoria.co.uk 

a photo a day: Camille Charriere style NAP

I'm kinda obsessed with this girl, she's my new Chung. (sorry Alexa). She is a fashion writer/journalist who works for Net-a-porter, blogger and generally just cool. Her life looks pretty swanky too, according to her instagram. life swap? Her style is 100% laid back, effortless chic, only the french (or half french) could pull it off. Have a look on her website or follow her on Facebook for her style updates. I can assure you, you won't regret it. 

A photo a day: Anna White

Here is a canvas from an Australian artist called Anna White. I am so inspired by these colours & the entire composition. Im trying to think where in my home i can place one of her prints...Lets hold that thought. Anna has an etsy shop where you can buy her prints. She's also an interior stylist, a lady with many talents. Take a look at her etsy shop & go treat yourself.

A photo a day: Sannah Kvist

                  

'I leaned on the wall & the wall leaned away' by Sannah Kvist. I found this picture via Field Guided. The tones captured in this photo are beautiful, so delicate. Sannah Kvist is a Swedish photographer who captures interesting and alluring photographs. Definitely a new muse to add to my list.

This photo was taken from the field guided Instagram feed. 

A photo a day: Mary Katrantzou

This is my dream scarf. Designed by my muse Mary Katrantzou. As far as being in love with designers go, my heart belongs to Mary. I am in utter awe of her. When I think that her designs can't be transferred or captured any more beautifully, she pops this on to the Liberty's website and I lover her  a tiny bit more.I'v spent some serious day dreaming time looking at her beautiful collection. This scarf is luxury and of course it has a price tag to match, damn my expensive taste. I had better write to santa now she he can start saving. 

(If would like to buy this scarf you can buy it here)

A photo a day: Vogue inspiration

                         

Here is a little snippet from British Vogue, the September issue, featuring cover girl Daria Werbowy. Isn't she beautiful? so long and lean. *note to self: must take up Yoga*. The reason I heart this feature is that its so wild & animalistic but beautiful & sooo sophisticated. The soft silk draped with such rich colours is everything I adore about luxury fashion featured in Vogue.

A photo a day: style muse

                         

Emmanuelle Alt. The editor of French Vogue. She has so much style I can feel it  through my touch screen. I'm not sure if its the fact that she's French so it's reasonably in her DNA to look THIS effortless, or that she wears quite masculine colours; which makes her ooze an enviable confidence. Either way she's got it. I've always admired the French street style, it's so chic & stylish. Even women smoking, they really do make it look classy (sorry to any anti-smoking campaigner readers I've just lost). But they really do. Oh I wanna be French. Bonjour.

A photo a day: drawing / designing

                  

I've decided to set myself a challenge called 'a photo a day'. It's pretty self explanatory: I will post one picture every day throughout the whole of August. Genius eh. I do love a good blog post but genuinely struggle for time. This way i'm staying focused, keeping it short & sweet & letting my readers know a little more about me. No strings, a pretty little something every day. perfect yar? I'm going to share absolutely anything that inspires me. Are you ready? Lets. Do .This. 

So here is my 'photo a day' #1. It's a little snippet of a piece of work I have been working on this week. Inspired by an Indian summer. *I've only just realised how much I appear to like pink now I'm a graduate.* send help.
