Chunky Boots



It is no secret how much I adore these shoes. I am sure many people do. These statement boots take the trend of chunky black boots and Chelsea boots to the next level. Stella McCartney has created the ultimate must have boots. I was sure to put these on my Christmas list, until I saw the price tag, £685. After expressing my desire for these shoes, it has come to light that there is a cheaper alternative which is, EBAY. 

So ladies, click this link and see if these cheap alternatives match your standards. (Beware though, these are distributed from China so will take around 3 weeks delivery). 

Italian Couture

The Italian in me is eager to release. Whether you know it or not, Italian Couture influences are most likely to be hanging in your wardrobe like now. The timeless creations of Italian designers have been demonstrated on high fashion catwalks for many years and it never dates out of fashion. Detail is what highlights the definition of Italian couture; from texture of fabric, to unique and adventurous patterns right the way to the detailed precision of embellishment. It all comes together to create the must-have timeless asset to your wardrobe.

As trends come and go, the importance of staying on top of the trends is a great task. Of course, a style culture as well established as Italian Couture will be the ones to set the trend. Big designers such as Prada, Fendi, Versace and so on have all impacted on the latest trends of today. 

Italian clothing has never been more easy to get your hands on. The expansion of Italian designer shops is large, boutiques to department stores in countries all over the world. Though the pricey attire, it is possible to recreate the flair with many high street brands now being influenced by Italian design. Of course all buyers are seeking for clean cut style, statement pieces, good quality clothes, and in trend styles. Everyone is looking for that signature item to purchase. It's evidently something that can be accomplished all through the year.

So winter is the season that has sneaked upon us. We look for sophisticated statement pieces. Colour blocking was big this summer season bringing vibrant warmth to the heat struck streets. Now as winter approaches, noticeably the large coats in pastel colours, camel and the ever reigning black is this seasons hottest. 

So add some international flair to your wardrobes and flaunt your signature pieces.

Sleek Black Glitter










Dress - Motel £65 ; Clutch Bag - £16 La Moda ; Necklace - La Moda ; Shoes - £40 Topshop ; Sunglasses - £1.50 Ebay

To state out the obvious, I have chopped inches off my hair and given myself a little fro. And look what lovely weather it is, November is treating us well. How deceiving does it look though, when in fact it was about 6 degrees. Aside from that, I've chucked together an outfit with some gorgeous pieces I have been sent by Motel and La Moda. Starting with the main beauty of this outfit, how gorgeous is this dress?!? It has just the right amount of elegance along with elements of a fun party outfit. This slender chic cherry diamond maxi dress from motel oozes elegance. See, I notice how my figure is lightly boyish, I lack curves. But for some reason this dress perfectly pinches my figure in the right places making me feel slim with little curves, and not just cause black is a slimming colour. And this piece is secretly slightly naughty too with a slit up both sides of the dress showing a teenie bit of leg and a slight v line back to it. And the best thing about it is SEQUINS!!! I looooove sequins. So this dress is a must have and may I add, have a look at the other dresses on the Motel website to fill up your party wardrobe and you will never have a night out without an fab frock. I accessorised this dress with a cute clutch and a statement necklace. Both of these were sent to me by the wonderful La Moda. The reason why I love this clutch so much is because 1) It's black and gold, 2) It is easy to hold, 3) It has ostrich skin texture with no harm to ostriches YAY, and 4) It's big enough to fit all your essentials, purse, phone, makeup, the lot. Now, the necklace I think is absolutely frickin' gorgeous. And voila, ready to party.

White and Gold

Autumn'ness







Black Polo Neck - Charity Shop £2 ; Skirt - Topshop £35 ; Scarf - Harrods £145 ; Coat - TK Maxx £29 ; Bag - La Moda £20 ; Shoes - Topshop £40 

Autumn is a month to dig out all the earthy colours. I only wore this outfit to 6th form but I particularly enjoyed it so I thought I would blog about it. Funnily enough, most of this outfit I had found whilst burying though my parents wardrobe. I always find the most amazing clothes from my parents no joke!! Like this Topshop skirt was a purchase my mum made many years ago. I found it about 4 years ago and stole it from her (with permission) and have never worn it since and I don't regret it. I love this skirt, it's so cute and makes me feel really like the girls in 'Clueless'. The scarf is apparently my dads favourite (sorry dad it's mine now), but it seems to go with everything and i love the colours and the tartan print which is very in this season. So it was 5 degrees, I managed to stay fairly warm today in my polo neck top and my scarf keeping my neck warm and my trench coat which looks thin but isn't actually bad at keeping me warm. Although, I do need to invest in some gloves, my poor fingers took the pain of the icey air.

Tartan Trend

Tartan





Tartan is the trend of the season. The Scottish print is dashing the high streets of Britain in these cold autumn months. Here is an outfit idea, a little tartan dress with some cute black docs and a plain jacket would be a perfect autumn winter outfit. 

Black and Gold

Black and Gold



Karl Lagerfeld black open front cardigan ; La Garçonne Moderne relax t shirt ; STELLA McCARTNEY black ankle booties ; Vagabond boots, $145 ; Vintage jewellery ; Janis Savitt yellow gold jewelry

If only i had the money but this is my ultimate wishlist to own these beauties. As you can tell I love black because it' so effortlessly classy. And the only way to accessorize with black garments is with gold jewelry. The symmetric bracelet on it's own is so simple yet does so much to the outfit. This Versace inspired pharaoh necklace is  so simple and really stands out on top of the black t-shirt. 

Pretty please is there a fashion God who will make these items appear in my wardrobe!

Sequins and Socks Rocks



Silver SASA Dress - Motel £60 ; Grey Coat - Topshop £79 ; Boots - New Look £29.99 ;  Socks - Primark £1  

So I got sent this gorgeous silver and black SASA dress from Motel (click hebsitere for website) and it has made me fall in love with sequins all over again. Sequins is definitely the embellishment of the season as it reminds me that there isn't long until Christmas now!

This little number is a perfect dress to wear for a night out on the town with a pair of black boot heels. However, I am not due to have a night out for a while, so I wore this sparkly number as a casual day time number, and the upside is that it sparkles lots in the light (yay)! With a snug boyfriend coat, knee highs and boots, it's the perfect Autumn outfit.



Happy Late Halloween - PEACE
