Vinyl bag, Bournemouth

What caught my attention here was the young woman's vinyl record bag, which
she tells me is actually her own creation. Having finished a fashion internship, 
she hopes to start up her own business, but for now, you can buy her bags from
vintage clothing store Deco in Pokesdown.

The Lower Gardens, Bournemouth

This couple in Bournemouth's Lower Gardens have a slight retro flavour to their 
outfits, thus complementing each other's styles. I really like the young woman's
colour co-ordination with the small but contrasting bright blue of her bag. The young
man's trendy patterned jumper works well with his sand chinos, although it's the
lomography camera hanging from his neck which gives his outfit that individuality.

NYFW Trends: Patterns and Prints

For womenswear at least, block colours might well be taking a sideline role next season, after a flurry of different patterns and prints hit the catwalks in the first few days of New York Fashion Week. No specific style of pattern or print has as yet shown dominance over the rest, but with the rest of NYFW and three more cities to follow, we may see a new spring or summer pattern emerging soon.

Here are few examples of patterns and prints to feature so far at NYFW S/S 12...
