Introducing SilverFlint!

I came across these fab folk on Twitter and fell head over heels in love with their gorgeous collection,
they were kind enough to e-mail a bit more information about themselves so I could share the discovery with you guys!

Silverflintʼs Transeasonal Luxury SS11 Knits – Volumes and Versatility for the urban nomad New London based label Silverflintʼs luxury knits are designed with adventurers and style lovers in mind. Inspired by Silverflintʼs love of travel, each piece is both stylish and practical, designed to become THAT item of clothing you put in your suitcase first wherever you go, a garment you will love and wear forever. “I drew inspiration from the clothing worn by traditional nomadic tribes and gave the garments a modern, fashion spin. We all are urban nomads, I wanted to make the garments both beautiful and practical” says Joanne Maclean, senior designer. The result is a collection that is minimalist, chic and easy to wear; the SS11 designs offers playful volumes and structured pieces. The collection includes a selection of tops, ranging from soft superkid mohair cardis to light cashmere hooded ponchos and super stylish multi yarn open hand knits.

The signature “blankets” are available in plain vibrant tones or with a jacquard pattern. They are already a best seller and a future must have, easy to dress up or down. All garments are versatile and make the perfect layer pieces for a Spring day or a summer night. Silverflint strives to offer gorgeous premium garments at an affordable price with the classic blankets retailing at £75.

Currently Silveflint is available via their website (which is a delight to browse through!) and from the pop-up shop which you’ll find at 18 All Saints Rd, London, W11 1HH; by appointment only.

Here’s my top three from the online shop;

Classic Blanket in Blue, £75 (also LOVE the Hot Coral)

Hand-Knit multi yarn jumper, £85. This just looks so snuggly.

Hooded Poncho, £68. I thought I’d left Ponchos behind with my 17 year old wannabe hippie self…by I’m willing to make an exception for this beauty. LOVE.

What do you think? Are you a new Silver Flint fan?

Mixing it up a bit for this outfit…

1. I’m wearing trousers! I posted these on my blog waaaay back in 2009, they are from Zara and they actually belong to my Mum. Between us we’d managed to forget we had them. It was a bit (lot) out of my comfort zone to wear these, but I’m trying to expand my wardrobe horizon from skirts and dresses.

2. New blouse. I popped in to New Look on Tuesday with Mum. I hadn’t intended to buy anything despite a gift card, but saw this blouse and *had* to have it. Bonus was that it only cost £10 in the sale…the exact amount left on the card! I’ve seen lots of bloggers wear sheer blouses lately and loved the look of them; my problem being most of the ones I’ve seen in shops are just too short…oh the perils of being tall! My biggest bug bear is tops that aren’t quite long enough. It is the same with dresses actually, the Daisy dress that I posted the other week, in real life, just was.not.decent…kinda makes finding work clothes hard as I already push the limits on decency sometimes (though I’ve had no complaints so far).

I’ve got a review meeting later, to discuss how I’m getting on at home; I think I’ve been home longer than I was in hospital for now! Things are going better than I dared hope and my mission now is to keep this up and work extra hard on accepting and embracing my “new” body.

Happy Friday lovelies,
don’t forget to enter my giveaways– 2 end tomorrow and 1 on Sunday!
