Pure London - Wholesale Fashion Trade Show

So yesterday I visited PURE London a wholesale trade show, showcasing just about every supplier for your store. Where to start?

Well first I'd like to start with 'Why do the signs for Kensington Olympia just stop?' I was almost there when I took one wrong turn when the signs stopped 20 mins later I was back at shepards bush station -.-

Secondly it was massive. I mean MASSIVE. I wasn't sure where to start!

The size of this pink glamorous stall was a small retailer to give you perspective !!

With so many wholesalers (9 pages worth!) 

 all wanting to show you they're the best they gave out lots!! Being young and not pushy I barely got anything!! But all the same I was over laden with everything! No wonder at the end of the day it felt like my back and feet were broken. 

The amount of bags I was carrying!

All in all a VERY good day, very fun, now know who I want to stock! and spent the whole of this morning sat on the floor sorting every business card and leaflet!!

Just the free magazines!

After sorting through all my favourite wholesalers!

Getting Somewhere

After numerous hours teaching myself As Business Studies, researching laws, licences and money and typing up everything its done!!

You may be a little confused as to what I'm talking about so here it is.
I have finished writing my business plan!
I have written my terms of employment, cash flow forecasting table and everything needed for my business plan.

A long stretch down a very long road but now I'm wel on my way.

This coming Monday I will be attending Pure London's Wholesale trade fair making connections and seeing every option I have for buying. Should be fun, even with an early morning!

And on top of all this I'm even making a profit in my first year!! Good times ahead after Monday next step - The bank!

SS13 - primark

Look just released the first look at the spring summer stock of Primark. Anyone with any sense should like Primark as they can have some great buys, cheap prices and it doesn't all fall apart as everyone thinks. As all highstreet stores should, they've looked to the trends and some of these items have got it just right.
: monochrome

neon: 
these sunglasses are quite cool but i'm not sure many could pull it off unless wearing a very boho outfit or in an Escada advert.

I love the homage to 90's fashion in this piece

I also rather love this little dress

What Will Next Year Bring

So you'd have had to have just climbed out of a time machine or just come out of a coma to not know it is NYE!! At 12 tonight everyone will be celebrating the passing of the last year and will be resolving to do things bigger and better than ever. 
This year (hopefully) fashion and my own designing will also be better than ever.
 As the sales started the new season stock hit the shelves we got our first glimpses of how the high street has jumped on the trends designers showcased earlier this year. 
The top trends forecast for 2013:

What's your favourite trend? and what's your new years resolutions??
