Dark Summer

My top picks for dressing dark this summer...

With the change of seasons comes a change in wardrobe. The recent sunshine and summer holidays has had me thinking about my summer wardrobe and how to incorporate Eustratia pieces to create a 'dark fashion' look suitable for the warmer days. Here are some of my favourite pieces which are great for those long summer days and nights:




I love this tunic, and it's so versatile. Create different looks with what your wear underneath, and even makes a great cover up on the beach. Even better, it's currently in the sale for just £37.72!




The harness cami is the Vanguard collections best seller and it's not hard to see why. Lightweight, wearable yet delicately edgy. Looks amazing teamed with the scale shorts. These jersey shorts have a lace overlay, with metal scale detail on each leg.




This jersey dress is light enough to wear in warmer weather and looks amazing dressed up or down, one of my (many!) favourites from the collection.


As we all know British weather can be a bit unreliable, so this organza varsity jacket is great for when the sun goes in. You can also adjust the length of the shadow skirt with the side ties, perfect for taking you from day to night.


And don't forget the importance of accessories....


Harness Bra           Strip Harness





And finally, this is how I've been wearing mine...

The Vanguard Collection





Owls, smoke bombs and prosecco...

This year saw the launch of Eustratia's first full fabric collection, Vanguard. I have loved seeing every step of this collections creation and was really excited to help out on the concept shoot. For the collection, which launched in June, Eustratia have teamed up with designer Richard Ayres, adding chainmail elements and jewellery to bring an elegant touch of toughness to the range. 

Here are some of my favourite images from the shoot:






























Helping out on shoots is always one of my favourite parts of my internship, and this one was no exception. It's great to see Stacey's vision come together and to work with such a great team. Running around in bushes with Vauhaus intern Lauren with smoke bombs made for an interesting day! From an intern point of view it was great to experience a challenging shoot, which involved multiple locations, outfit changes, an owl and dogs! The day ended with a well earned glass of prosecco!
