Let's Begin..

So I've decided to focus on SS14. Unfortunately SS13 hasn't even hit the shops yet but when I've been to visiting shops recently I still feel inspired by the AW12 trends.

I found these AMAZING girls jeans in Next London Colney store. I absolutely love how fun these are! So I'm pinning this up on my cork board as my first piece of inspiration for SS14.

Back Again!!!

Once again I've deprived my blog. I get so distracted with life that I forget to write things down. Well I've decided I'm going to start again...I really want to kick start the Sarahsaurus brand again. I want to get back into designing my own things. So this is me starting again. I'm going to start a new project and get designing!! I'll keep you all updated in what inspires me and how its all going....wish me luck!!(Hopefully I can get some more followers too!!!!!!)

Kids Trends

Recently I have been offered a job as a Childrenswear Accessories and Footwear designer in which I start in 2 weeks!! So I have been gathering up some research to build my knowledge...

The Schoolgirl Satchel is back in but now better than ever in bright bold neon colours! Schoolgirls can now carry their belongings in style. This modern twist gives the classic satchel a modern up-to-date fun pop look.

High-top Sneaker is not just for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Designer's such as Gucci, Diesel, Adidas and Pom D'Apo have given these a fresh sport-luxe flair with leather and suede materials, convenient side zips, and flashy colour and pattern-blocking panels. Combining neutral hues with fun pops of colour, these versatile sneaks are perfect for transitioning into fall.

The Summer Visor is a fresh touch on children's summer accessories. Suitable for both boys and girls of all ages. The visor ranges in styles from woven straw to a sporty mix of french terry and polyester. My favourite is this unisex hat listed on US eBay (see below)

 Key Colours for SS14 are tender whites, filtered neutrals, ocean blues and fragrant pinks.

Back in time...

It's my dad's birthday this weekend and the family got together for a BBQ. My dad has become a massive influence of my 7 year old nephew with all his classic cars and war time collectibles. So today became a World War II day for Jayden and I. We dressed up as soldiers and made "Hollywood" films. It was such a funny day that I thought I would share some pictures and our edited film with you.....Enjoy!
