Deciding on what to take on a trip abroad can be quite the challenge but essentially important as selecting the ideal luggage that is stylish but yet practical.


Introducing The Pro Model ST DJ case Digital Luxury at its best

As a keen traveler myself I just love the thrill and excitement of jetting off somewhere new come summer time and the last minute trips in between.

I managed to pop down to the London Launch of Horizn Studios temporary Soho store yesterday evening to feel inspired by their latest exclusive range of suitcases.

 

 

Who knows I might be lucky enough to own one of these travel bags for my next upcoming trip for the foreseeable future. Wanderlust goals ha ha to always travel in style where ever I go.

 

Work Hard Play Hard Travel Smart

Yesterday evenings party celebrated the launch of two exciting collaborations, the first with Arvida Bystrom, who had her latest exhibition available to preview at the venue. Also, exclusive artwork produced by DJ Seth Troxler DJ / Producer on display, along with his 99 t-shirts produced to raise money for Cook for Syria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was definitely great to see up close two exciting projects Horizn have been working on with Arvida Bytstrom and DJ Seth Troxler. There is a huge market out there where fashion brands are no longer standalone products but part of our lives that helps improve our lifestyle for the better.

 

 

The music DJ Sets from Chelsea Layland, Cici Cavanagh and Overly Gassed helped contribute to a great party atmosphere which was a full house that continued into the late hours of the evening.

There is a huge market out there where fashion brands are no longer standalone products but part of our lives that helps improve our lifestyle for the better.

For instance, observing this suitcase it can charge your phone and cleverly built in GPS tracker so you need not worry again if you lose any luggage whilst travelling. Luckily it has not happened to me just yet, but I’m sure none of you are willing to take your chances.

Here’s what I found out about the product and what’s so great about it! apart from the one click removable smart charger.

There’s even a case especially designed for DJ’s where you can store your vinyl and anything else that you need for a trip which is the first of it’s kind that I have come across recently. This has to be my favorite suitcase of them all as Horizn Studioes introduces their exclusive Premiere Line Collection range designed in collaboration with International DJ Seth Troxler – The Pro Model ST DJ case. It has all the smart functionality cleverly integrated within . Created for the Jet Setter on the go! it will take you from the plane to the club from digital to vinyl which Retails at £399

Other unique features for suitcases included laundry bags for dirty clothes and a compartment to store footwear keeping your items clean and fresh during transit. It’s ideal and a genius way to travel smarter in the future with all the extras thrown in. Suitcases such as this being advanced in digital technology do not come cheap but it’s worth the investment long term and I would definitely consider a purchase.

WHAT IT’S REALLY LIKE BEING A BLOGGER IN PARIS | A DAY IN THE LIFE AT COUTURE FASHION WEEK

Paris is the original birth place of the Haute Couture Houses from Dior, Vionet to Chanel and there always seems to be an expectation of Paris to be very stylish from a Fashion point of view.

 It was such an honour to be invited personally to attend a catwalk show in Paris especially as a blogger as I was wondering if I was the only one from London and would there be anyone else I knew here to keep me company. The Paris Fashion Scene is very new to me but really impressed by the high standards and presentation of such Fashion Designer’s Rani Zakhem as he debuted his Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2018/19 collection to the International press, style influencers and celebrities.

PARIS HAUTE COUTURE FASHION WEEK

It was such an honour to be invited personally to attend a catwalk show in Paris especially as a blogger as I was wondering if I was the only one from London and would there be anyone else I knew here to keep me company. The Paris Fashion Scene is very new to me but really impressed by the high standards and presentation of such Fashion Designer’s Rani Zakhem as he debuted his Haute Couture Autumn Winter 2018/19 collection to the International press, style influencers and celebrities. As soon as I arrived I just couldn’t wait to explore the city on foot and be immersed in a city full of culture and intrigue.

 In Paris the fashion show production efforts made is just on another level with all the fine details, polished floors to the beautiful grade II listed buildings set the standard very high during fashion week here.

Atelier Rani Zakhem is a Couturier Fashion Designer based in Lebanon but has showcased his work in the fashion capitals such as London, Rome and most notably Paris for his collections each season.

Even during the shows the Press Team from the French PR Agency have usher’s that walk you over to your assigned seat which is great hospitality. But in London this rarely even happens as you have to navigate your seat on your own and a tight squeeze for space so it’s always good to give yourself plenty of time before the shows.For me it was very special to see it up close as sometimes it can take up to two years to produce a new collection for some Couture Houses is a known fact.

 Zakhem returns this season with a vibrant and sparkling tribute to the combating and combative woman, Amazone of all jungles and Glamazonian, seductive when like a warrior goddess, she appears in her crystal armour.

Signature Pieces in the Collection

My favourite looks that came down the Runway included a piece in the collection such as the black spencer jacket with red black and gold crystals in clusters on an incendiary sheath or on the sleeves looked very classic.

Themes for this collection explore the poetry of an imaginary jungle where Rani Zakhem envisions his muse as the glamazone and delicate guardian of a paradise.

In celebration of this nature there was a feeling of dark romance that had a spellbinding effect in a crinoline creation, fluttering black tulle with scattering of crystals evoking a spider in its precious cobweb.

What I admired about the collection most is that it represents women who appear, strong, but sensual where authority appertains to her and lives in her evidently with elegance. Subtle references from Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan and Azzedine Alaia punctuate the couture vocabulary of Rani Zakhem, between a Saharienne detail, a draped moulage, the powerful minimalism of a white dress enhanced by a slight ornament to create a dream worthy wedding dress. Apparently couture fashion week is where all the wedding dress trends are born to embody each season by a new muse of the moment.

If you ever have the chance to attend Fashion Week in Paris I highly recommend it as it’s a place of culture and the centre of fashion where all the latest ground breaking trends happen.

STYLE INSPIRATION IDEAS FOR NEW YEARS EVE PARTY ATTIRE

New Years Eve Outfits

New Year’s Eve the one day of the Year you can reflect on your life on the best parts and remove all negativity and just focus on the good things which are worth holding onto. I like to think of it as a ritual cleansing process to put the past behind you and start fresh. Whatever that maybe, it can be anything you like from toxic relationships, New Year’s resolutions and a wardrobe de-tox.

But, first and foremost finding the perfect party attire on New Year’s could also be a decadent affair to dress and impress. You can’t go wrong with some of these pre-selected luxury items by mixing Italian and Quintessentially British Style to achieve a well polished look just in time for Midnight Celebrations.

This year, I decided to Celebrate New Years Eve with close friends at the most beautiful London town house for a Masquerade themed Ball at The House St Barnabas in the West End. I remember the twinkle of the fairy lights all illuminated as they gleamed with soft lighting which gave character to the ambience – a great atmosphere too.

I just can’t wait to try some of these looks for myself as you have a choice between classic and contemporary looks which define elegance at its finest for all you discerning gentlemen be sure to look your best. British Style favourites of mine include Turnbull & Asser for their pristine cut shirts to accessories from Paul Smith, Aspinal of London and Italian classic labels by Salvatore Ferrgamo.

There are some great options from Mid-range to the High street such as Tuxedo Tailoring in Midnight Blue with Shawl lapels from Thom Sweeney which you can wear with your favourite bow tie, a pair of Boss Black formal footwear and a smart ASOS winter overcoat. You still have time to shop before midnight strikes 12 tomorrow evening as we say goodbye to 2017 in style.

A BLOGGERS GUIDE HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR 1ST FASHION WEEK 2.0 | MY ESSENTIAL MUST HAVE ITEMS

SURVIVE TIPS FOR FASHION WEEK + WHAT'S INSIDE MY BAG

By Posted on 0 Comments4min read834 views

From personal experience of fashion week ever wondered how people get through it with an ever demanding schedule of catwalk shows, presentations and events. Well look no further. I’ve created my own tips and things which come in handy when on your feet and constantly on the go. This includes beauty and grooming products as well as tech gear and trendy designer accessories.

Read about my personal recommendations here and shop some of my FASHION WEEK Essential Survival KIT. It’s time to refresh your make up / grooming kit with style!

1.  Laptop is your hub for communications, but I prefer a tablet as it’s more mobile and very light weight so you can check emails, social media and track any last minute changes you need to make and edit.

2. The emergency charger is your life saver and spare battery for your smart phone in case your battery life runs flat. I usually take two fully charged before I leave home. These are better to be compact as possible and come slightly slim in other versions available at all major retail stockist

3. A luxury note pad to take note of any important details while at the designer shows during fashion week. I prefer to put pen to paper by jotting things down. Mines from Furla which was a great find and made from real Italian leather. It’s great to indulge in a nice piece of stationary which makes writing that extra bit special.

4. Foot helping aid products such as plasters or gel pads prevent your feet get overworked from walking but don’t want to rack up the taxi fares on Uber to be on time to last minute shows and parties. A foot spray from the Body Shop with cooling menthol peppermint oil instantly revives tired feet and gives long lasting freshness makes it that extra more bearable for pain relief. Take into consideration comfortable and practical footwear which can be fashion forward as there will be lots of walking at times

5. A good eye cream to revive tired eyes so they look fresh and radiant is key if you are not able to squeeze in a good night’s sleep. I recommend one from Bliss which is suitable for all skin types, locks in moisture, protects with antioxidants, and improves the look of dark circles and paraben free. Its feeling to the skin is very light weight and natural

6. A base product for makeup application to improve the appearance of dull skin such as Vitamin C Skin Reviver can be applied after moisturising to achieve that instant smooth and healthy looking glow. There’s a really great one from the Body shop with vitamin C Amazonian camu camu to produce that everlasting radiance makes the skin feel very smooth.

7. Designer Accessories to hold your tech items securely in poach for my emergency charger. My Alexander McQueen patent leather case with signature skulls detail is very rock and roll. Vintage Bloggers own

8. A statement laptop carry case to carry my tablet and fashion week invites as well as random bits and bobs such as essential items.

9. Designer aluminium RFID shield card wallet to hold your company business Cards: you never know who you will meet during networking events for professional contacts in the fashion industry. It’s also a great way to look chic and follow up with any potential leads after fashion week.

10. Keep hydrated always with water and don’t drink too much alcohol as its not great for your skin if your main goal is to survive the marathon of fashion week to get full media press coverage of the shows. Good content is vital as a fashion professional
