Designer Delight: Fiona Paxton

"Fiona Paxton trained at the Royal College of Art and has worked in New York, London and Bangkok designing prints and embroideries for various fashion houses and retailers including Michiko Koshino, Chloe, Armani and Moschino. Whilst working Fiona became more and more inspired by the artisan techniques of the embroidery craftsmen of India. She decided to develop a range of her own jewellery pieces that are all hand embroidered using these ancient techniques. Each jewellery piece is a tightly patterned beaded mosaic of glistening strands of silver and gold coloured chains and beads. Intricate beadworks create fluid necklaces that drape flat to the body languid and snake like"

Blog Partnership Review: Blue hooded toggle dress from Blue Inc

This cosy Blue hooded toggle dress was sent to me by Blue Inc





It came with this lovely reusable bag





This dress is a perfect item for spring as it’s bright and summery but also very snug and warm without looking chunky or bulky. It has short sleeves so is great for layering with long sleeves underneath (think Mary Kate and Ashley). Plus it’s long enough to wear as a dress with bare legs and flats for the day or for cooler temperatures simply add leggings and some biker boots.




The material is really soft and doesn’t scratch my skin which tends to happen with woolly items. I got mine one size bigger so it would be easier to layer tops underneath.
This dress was only £10.00 and standard delivery costs just £3.99. Blue Inc also shop world wide so email them for details


My Blue hooded toggle dress is sold out but there ruffled knitwear is now on my wish list plus it's on sale from £14.99 to £6.00!
