A//W Fashion Trends

I woke up this morning greated by thick fog and the freezing air, defiantly time to reach for them woollies and coats! Autumn and winter fashion is defiantly my favorite, dark mellow colours, different textures and lets face it, feeling cosy. Here are three outfits that I LOVE, however I've done my research to find more affordable items to recreate this look. If you like this style of blog, be sure to let me know, hope you enjoy!

Casual Chic

I personally love this style of outfit, whether you're wearing it to lunch, shopping or just college it's simple but girly. The colours compliment each other and instantly make me think of Autumn as they are rather dark tones.

Jumper| Newlook £15
Skirt| Newlook £9.99
Bag| Lipsy £69
Boots| PSYCHE £ 109

A Spot of Love

This outfit is seriously cute! Turning something so simple like a spotty skater dress into a chick outfit is right up my street. I love the cute collaring which sits perfectly on the cable knit jumper, because lets face it we all need added warmth anyway in England! 

Dress| House of Fraser £25
Jumper| NELLY £75
Boots| SPERRYTOPS £81 £32
Bag| Topshop £42

Tartan Vibe

Tartan I feel has become increasingly popular and not just the Scottish trade mark, however it's now a fashion staple for many. I adore how this outfit is really simple and black however the pop of red and green adds colour as well as warmth, perfect for them chilly nights out! 

Coat| Forever new £44
Jeans| HM £25

A//W Must Haves| Beauty

The cold crisp mornings welcome the Autumn day alongside endless fashion a beauty with it. Keep reading to see what beauty and makeup items have been hitting my check list this year. 

Lets Hear It For The Lips! 

From a bold lipstick to nude. From a glitter lip gloss to a lip balm, they are all essential in looking stylish and fab during the cold days. Rimmel London created 'Apocalips' a few years back, a lip stick/ gloss which stays put throughout the day. Now they're back and even more popular with different matte shades. I love the nude pink shade below as I think it'll be perfect for the ever day! 

Rimmel London- Apocalips Matte Lipstick| Atomic Rose £6.50 

Everyone needs a good lip-balm to stop them puckering up a cracked lip! This one from Maybelline is a clear favorite amongst many ladies as it helps to hydrate the lips and leaves a shine throughout the day. Put on by itself or over the top of a lipstick!Best of all its a bargain at £2.99!! 

Maybelline Baby lips| Lip balm hydrate £2.99

Follow The Shadows

NARS appears to be a firm favorite in the beauty world, even though it's expensive, I'd be lying if I didn't say the eye shadow duo below stunned me. I loved the shimmer green shadow alongside the pale purple and I see this becoming a key piece in anyone's makeup collection as the colours do represent this time of year! 

NARS Limited Edition| Lost Coast Eye Shadow Duo £25

Cream Shadows aren't something I'v ever really taken too as I have heard it's quiet difficult to blend out properly compared to a usual powder. However Bourjois have persuaded me recently with mass of pretty glitzy colours appearing in the cream form. I love the shad below as it's very neutral. 

Bourjois Colour Edition Cream to Powder Eye Shadow £6.99  £5!

One For the Face 

It's no secret I am a HUGE Rimmel London fan and I have personally been loving this foundation below for a good half the year now. It's so easy to apply, offers a medium but build-able coverage and lasts throughout the day.  Extremely affordable especially with the sale on at the moment from ASOS! 

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation £7.99 £5.50

This powder my Benefit is slightly more pricey compared to other high street brands like Rimmel London and Max Factor, however it does what it says on the packaging! The powder helps to reduce shine, focusing on the pores, mainly on your T-zone, throughout the day. It also comes with a handy brush that fastens on the top so it's travel friendly. 

Benefit Porefessional Powder £ 23.50 

Hair Drama 

In the mist of winds, rain and storms that bring A//W we need to take extra care of our hair! Bedhead is a firm favorite as their products, like the conditioner below, actually helps maintain my hair. If you have thick, wavy hair like me which is hard to manage on a daily basis their products will transform the frizz to shine.

BedHead Recharge Conditioner £ 13.00

A tangle teezer is essential to smooth the mane! 

Tangle Teezer Professional Detangling Brush £10.50

The Bod 

Your skin may feel the effects of the cold weather by feeling dry, this body lotion can solve the problem! I LOVE the packaging I think it's soo cute, however I have heard great reviews about this brand saying the Lotion sinks into your skin so you're not left in a greasy mess!

Green& Spring Relaxing Body Lotion £22

Who doesn't like peppermint? This liquid soap is made with organic products like coconut oil to leave the skin feeling smooth and soft. It's a favorite if you're vegan as its almost 100% vegan friendly!

Dr. Bronner Organic Peppermint Liquid Soap £8.50

I'm currently writing this whilst the sun is shining, which is bazaar as it's now autumn! Autumn is my favorite part of the year, crunchy leaves, rainy weather and endless hot chocolates. I have been loving the fashion recently that has wondered it's way onto my computer screen, therefore I thought I'd show you a snippet of some of my A//W must haves!

Ted Baker £129

How AMAZING is this playsuit from ASOS? I love the check print throughout piece, I think this would be great for a lunch out or shopping trip! I love the wrap around v neck as I think it makes the outfit look mature alongside the colour choices which scream Autumn.  

ASOS £45

ASOS £55

Sand in my toes| Beach Day Out

As the sun was surprisingly shining in England today we went for a spontaneous trip to wales to chill and enjoy the cool breeze. In honesty I dressed completely wrong, wearing skinny jeans, t shirt and a jacket I was sweltering alongside my dog, Monty here are a few pics of the day! 

In Wales there is tonnes of different shells, I'm sure there is at every beach, I couldn't resist taking a few shots of my favorites!

After a while of walking alongside the sea front, we decided it was best to head back to the car park, which was still on the beach side, and walk down to a nearby chippy for lunch. We literally gobbled our chips down, which were amaze-balls, before we headed home.

Milan Fashion Week| Favorites So Far

Milan Fashion Week kicked off the other day, straight after LFW, hot styles walked down the cat walk and I'm here to share my favorite looks/ designers so far. 

Alberta Ferretti

Alberta used many different textures and patterns in his pieces, which I loved. For instance the dress featured below is just simply beautiful. I love the little embroided flowers against the brown crochet dress with knee-high gladiators. I also adore the 2nd dress as its flowly, and god-ess like with a trailing floral pattern down the body. 

Blumarine

Blumarine used bright, fun colours to represent the summer vibe, which totally worked! I LOVE the dress below, it's so wearable, I would wear this to a summer party or out for lunch its so versatile too, dress it up and dress it down! Same goes for the second dress, I love the colour white and light blue, and again this is the perfect summer piece with the cute floral design!

Giamba

It appears floral's are in for spring/ summer 2015? Once again another floral dress made it's way along the catwalk, however instead of cute delicate patterns Giamba has created bright, graphic florals, like the dress featured below. I like the collection as one minute the clothes are 'wow' and then 'cute' like the second dress here. I love the white little dress with the beautiful peter pan collaring. Of course the spotted tights make both outfits slightly edgy and unique which i love. 

Giorgio Armani

Giorgio Armani obviously had to be featured on my blog as I love this brand and they didn't disappoint me either! The collection was classy and elegant wearing mainly neutrals. I love the jacket below as the texture looks really interesting and the colour can be suited for any occasion. I also love the trousers in the second outfit, the quirky wave print makes the outfit stand out, I can imagine this piece walking down the streets of Paris!

Iceberg 

I have to say I am stunned by the outfit below as this is right up my street. I love the shirt, the combination of a spotted fabric against simple block colours like yellow, totally works! The navy high waisted shorts complete the look as it singes in at the waist with a navy clasp belt. Perfect for dinner out or shopping with your friends!

Les Copains

The collection was beautiful, whites and statements necklaces made hearts in my eyes (cringey but true). The dress below is fab, a sheer leaf pattern over a simple white tunic, paired with cork shoes and a gorgeous, red statement necklace really make the outfit classy. Same with the second dress, I love the different patterns and textures represented throughout the collection. 

Roberto Cavalli

Mainly featuring blacks and whites the collections was a win-win with unique patterns and textures. The dress below is stunning with cute, little, floral detailing alongside a v- neck, perfect for a romantic get away. The second dress is slight daring, with sheer panels running through it and a fur clutch create a punk/ rock vibe which is totally a favorite of mine at the minute.

London Fashion Week| Street Style

London Fashion Week has finished, however the style never ends. Many lovely ladies were photographed journey the week with amazing outfits, makeup and hair. This is why I decided to show you some of my favorite 'Street Styles' from LFWSS15. 

The Edgy Chick

I'm a huge fan of the blogger/ YouTuber Amelia Liana featuring below. As you would expect from a Fashion blogger for effortless style, she certainly achieved a rocky vibe with a leather peplum skirt, knee high boots and a cute white shirt. Her hair was beautiful, flowing in loose curls alongside her minimal makeup. 

Three's The Charm

These ladies, whoever they are, brought sophistication to the streets this fashion week. Wearing a mixture of fur, animal prints and cute designer back packs, were defiantly a win-win. Personally my favorite out of the three looks is the woman on the left, her coat compliments her bright red lipstick alongside her wonderful shoes. 

The Classy Lady

You can tell, just by glancing at her, she is a high-end fashionista. A matching dusty pink suit alongside a simple white jumper, grey tote bag, leopard shoes and large sunglasses creates a simple yet elegant look. 

The Chelsea Girl

If you live in the UK and watch ' Made in Chelsea', you will probably adore this next outfit. How clasy does she look? From the floppy black hat, navy cape dress to the simple black boots she's dripping in fashion envy. Once again I love this hair style, loose curls that create the girly touch to a modern look.

Monochrome 

Sammi is a popular YouTube/ blogger also, so once again my smile didn't falter when I saw her outfit. Monochrome is my favorite fashion trend at the minute, so simple yet so great. I love her combination of a bold check print against a big fur coat hanging loosely around her shoulders. Alongside her floppy, studded hat and dark berry lips, really compliment her style. 

Daring Leather

Tanya Burr is one of my favorite YouTubers and also is wearing one of my favorite looks! I love her 'leather' theme, wearing a matching leather crop top alongside a leather midi skirt, strappy sandals and of course the beautiful Mulberry bag designed by Cara. Hair in loose curls seems to be a trend that Tanya has caught on, alongside a simple smokey eye look. It's even more impressive as she revealed on her YouTube channel how she only decided what to wear that day for when she was attending Burberry!! 

Sleek Tartan

Tartan is becoming increasingly popular and it appears this lady knows whats what! I love her style so much! The black crop top, tartan pencil skirt , platform shoes and leather bag make her the perfect fashionista for Autumn. She looks stunning in her simple pony tailed hair, little makeup and beautiful figure. 

Double Trouble

TTwo huge names amongst the fashion world, blonde bombshells, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne. Both with hair simply straightened. Cara wore a plain two piece suit, exposing her slim figure, trainers to match her cool life style and of course her own bag. Alongside her Kate looked mature in her large sunglasses, black trench coat, leather trousers, fur bag and of course heels.
