SS15 . . .

So finally apologies for the lateness in this post but here is my Spring / Summer 15 what you need to know I'm going to do a quick catch up of all the big trends we will be following, just so you're ready when the time comes.

So without further ado trend here are our trends . . .

Denim

Now it doesn't matter what shade or hue of blue you wear, as long as it's denim you will be ok and look the part.

70's Flare

Now a number of designers seemed to be looking back into the seventies archives to bring back some interesting trends, such as sharp tailoring paired with flares, Henry Holland's bold florals, MaxMara's seventies silhouettes, and who could doubt or question the strong seventies influence on Emilio Pucci's collection!

Bohemia 

Again look at Emilio Pucci and Etro's collections the strong bohemian references were to hard not to spot.

Barbie

Now what 90's kid didn't like Aqua's song I'm a Barbie girl? No, I can't think of any either. Well if you have always dreamed of being a Barbie girl this is your season. Now I hear you ask which designer has made our 5 year old selves jump for joy, Moschino! Of course other designers followed suite as you can see below with hints of Barbie pink popping up in Milan, Paris, New York and London.

Party Time

Yes it was at LFW that we saw a number of designers who showed colourful sequinned covered collections and shimmering metallics in various cuts and styles.

Floral Fancies

A number of designers chose to add beautiful delicate floral embellished touches to their collections. A number of them almost had an ethereal feel to them. Take a look for yourself . . .

So now you know what you have to look forward too for SS15

Cannot wait!

Sunday Splurge . . .

So today I made it down to Miista shoes sample sale, unfortunely for me most of the shoes my size had of course been sold to those who went on the days before. 

What a great event though, I will be down there at the front of the next sample sale queue just you wait and see.

Anyway my Sunday Splurge this week are a pair of Miista shoes, named Lena 

How fab are these boots, I am in love. Now I have loved Missta for a while now and I can't see this love affair ending anytime soon. These shoes will look great on anyone's feet and I can guarantee that they will be super duper comfortable. 

Anyway if you love these boots like me or want to see what other wonderful creations are available at miista shoes click here.

Autumn Hues . . .

So now we are at the start of Autumn, well after our random heat burst.

Now the look I have put together today is of course to be paired with thick tights to keep warm on a crisp morning. Without further ado here is my look of the day . . .

So yes I know florals are a clear focus in this look, but seeing as they are dark hues I think they are the perfect florals for autumn. Now this playsuit is elegant and stylish with a lovely wrap front. A very flattering shape, although a little short for the winter, of course this is were tights come in very handy! To keep your feet warm pair this short playsuit with these tall boots, I love the gold details and finishings on these boots, I think they make them look very expensive, definitely more expensive than the £60 price tag. Throw over a long blazer inspired coat, I do have a weakness for blazers and jackets as I am sure you already have noticed. This piece is wonderful as you have that extra length which in winter is much appreciated as you can imagine. Now onto the backpacks, New Look are onto a winner with this design, I featured this backpack a while ago in white with a geometric grid pattern, now they have made a wonderful floral version of this bag and I am still in love with it! I don't think there could be a fault in this design. Finally onto this stunner of a necklace, yes it is a show stopper but why not have a wonderful necklace to top off this wonderful Autumn look.

What are you wearing this Autumn?

Trend My Way . . .

So I thought it was time for a trend piece, I have chosen the rather feisty leopard print trend for this post.

As I'm sure you will have noticed recently you really cannot go anywhere without seeing that leopard print is going to be big this season. 

Here I have pulled a look together of how I would style this look, dare I say I would even sport it to London Fashion Week which kicks off at the end of this week and weekend.

So to start as the base of this look I have chosen this rather expensive designer faux fur coat, of course there are great options for our price range available on the high street. With this coat as the main feature I would put it with a simple LBD as lets face it most of the time you would want to be wrapped up in it not have it open and you exposed to the elements, yes I know its not winter yet. Next I would pair it with a simple elegant leather clutch bag, as this is a glamorous / relaxed look I think a big bag would be too much. Moving onto the footwear, I think these leopard print Palladium Boots are just perfect for this look, they give enough impact to stand out when you take off the coat, but while you are wearing it it very much compliments the overall look perfectly. Next to accessories, this look gets a bit of sparkle with this Orelia ring, which you may recognise as one of this weeks Wednesday Want, I think its elegance works really well with this look. The hat, you have to admit it does add to the look having it there, I love a good hat unfortunately I seem to be someone that can only pull off a few styles of hat, luckily though this is one of them! I really love the shape of this black hat, pay day purchase, I think so!

Next to add a bit of colour, no I am not referring to the black nail varnish but of course the dash of red from the Rimmel lipstick. Lipstick is just such a great way to get an instant splash of colour or to add some drama to your look, and of course to sport leopard print you have to be a rather sexy and feisty kind of women, so red is just a brilliant colour to go for.

Anyway I hope you like this look as much as me!

Wednesday Want . . .

So tonight I am unveiling this weeks Wednesday Wants, yes I couldn't just pick one, so without further ado here there are . . .

Now all three of these rings are from the lovely brand Orelia, now I have spotted their lovely delicate designs in the boutique part of Topshop, but after making a point of exploring their website I am definitely in love!

So here are my three favourite rings, starting at the bottom and working my way up, this teardrop shape is so stunning. This ring is perfect for adding something special to a simple outfit, also a great piece to take you from day to night, think about how much this ring will sparkle in the light.

Number two is the vintage inspired piece with a crystal in the centre of the above image. Vintage jewellery is my favourite kind of jewellery I love finding pieces that no one else will have, now yes this is vintage inspired but how gorgeous is this almost art deco inspired ring? I really want this piece, I'm thinking pay day buy!

Finally number three, the simply elegant and effortless charm of this ring caught my attention as soon as my eyes met with its image on the rings page of Orelia's website. The delicate and fine band give this piece as delicate feel, feminine and pretty I don't think anyone could dislike this ring. I love that the gold has been mixed with the blue gem stone in the centre of the ring, this piece will look good with a tan, just saying.

Do you like Orelia as much as me? Check out their other products here . . . 

Another great point to mention about this wonderful brand is that they are very well priced!

The pieces I are all £12 how brilliant is that, and they are made from quality materials!

I think I will be buying a lot form this jewellery brand!

What do you think?
