Bag 'It' Up

I found a treasure at portobello market today, for a good £30. After checking out an overpriced Hermes handbag, I found this 1950s/1960s handbag to be a very good alternative.

And after showing it to my flatmate, I found that it has a velcro attached cover... So two ways to wear it! Very much looking forward to debuting this tomorrow!

The Bernstein Look is Back!

After a lengthy absence, The Bernstein Look is back!

Having now graduated from Uni, I am now living in London for a few months working as an Editorial Intern. So, after moving down to The Big Smoke a  month ago, I am now up and running The Bernstein Look once again.

Look out for up-coming Posts on Art, Fashion, Styling, Trends and Life as a fashion lover with contributions from Miss Jemma Herbert, 'Vintage Queen', and Hannah 'Mo-dell' Lawrence!

The Bernstein Look

Colourful Intrusion

Colourful Intrusion

Colours, Cameras and looking Too Cool for School (TCS) is what it's all about this June....

Hannah Lawrence, mo-dell extraodinaire works this look perfectly in our intrusive 'get that camera out of my face' shoot! Deep red one shoulder dress, colourful scarf, retro clear framed sunglasses and an up-do to keep the heat off...

Pretty In Pink....

So... back from a lengthly break due to Uni work (yes, I have finished my degree! Woop!)

Let's Get Girly!

Just the one shot from an impromtu photoshoot to get back into the blog... here is the Beautiful Hannah Lawrence modeling a velvet cardi-jacket courtesy of Urban Outfitters and my Merri Making hood! A very innocent look, going back to girly girl fashion with pinks and purples and natural make-up, just in time for summer! Enjoy....

Boot-y Love...

Spring is upon us but unfortunately no one told the weather this, so we are still having to wear clothes better suited for a Fall/Autumn wadrobe...

Here is what I wore today. I wanted to add a bit of Spring into the rainy gray days, so I'm wearing a pale pink ruffled dress, Zara beige shorts, Vintage Jumper and the key accessory for this type of weather, some over the knee brown boots...

So get creative and mix and match outfits together to add a bit of Spring into your looks!

Bite Me....

Hannah Lawrence models here in a shoot we did a while ago, showcasing some of the little accessories that can really make your outfits pop! From flowers to add to your hair or outfits, oversized bow clips, pearls and purses...

Discovering New Places!

Recently on the NTU campus, the Arkwright building and the Newton building have re-opened following a major refurb... Hannah and I decided to take a trip around, but unfortunately got lost... we didn't realise how big it was... BUT, it was a very striking building, high ceilings, stone floors and this amazing Harry Potter-esque fireplace...

What are you wearing?

Day two, back at Uni for our last ever term! Here is what the Castle House Fashion Marketing girls are wearing today...

You best be on your way...

First day back at Uni today, and the Castle House Fashion Marketing girls went back in casual, comfy, NTU style...

So, casual, comfy, NTU style: We're seeing a lot of stripes, blues, greys, whites, T-Shirts, light jeans ready for the Summer, but as the weather is still not hot enough (boo!) make sure you wear your boots!

Let's Play!

It's Playtime this Spring/Summer!

Playsuits are the thing to have in your wadrobe for the upcoming season... Team yours with funky tights, and when it starts getting warmer try them with boots, sandals or brogues and add a trilby or fedora hat for the coolest finish...

Here is mine From COW, Nottingham - floral, great fit, playful and very flatering... I've teamed it with black leggings, vintage kitty heels and an oversized black bow clip...

Here is another way to wear it...

Vintage Floral Playsuit - COW

Leggings - Topshop

Vintage Kitty Heels - COW

Black Velvet Bow - Vintage Market, Nottingham

Denim Shirt - Primark

Denim Jacket - H&M

Black Boots - Kurt Geiger

Neo-90s? Yes...

The anticipation for summer is too much for us and recently I've been noticing retro 1990s looks seeping their way back into fashion... So, for summer I suggest trying the neo-90s look for yourselves! Tea dresses, bustiers, high wasted trousers, shoulders galore, lippy and funky accessories... Jemma Herbert models some effortless vintage looks thrown together by yours truly...
