Autumn Colour Blocks

Hey sweeties, I do hope you're all well and good today - finally mid-week which that meens the countdown to the weekend has begun! Today I'm recooperating from a nasty bout of acid-reflux that had me up all night (most attractively) feeling like I was going to throw up any second and pacing my room to wait for the pain to subside. Sigh. I do hope your Tuesday nights were a lot less painfl and more glam than mine that's for sure!

Anyway, nothing like a little fashion goodness to cheer a poorly blogger up and today I've been waving my creative wand on Polyvore and scouring the high-street sections for a look at what lovely colours will be coming our way this Colder season. (I don't know why I called it this as we never seem to get a warmer season for the temperatures to drop from ha-ha)

Anyway here are some block sets of what I discovered (For a closer look at any of the featured items just click the photo and it will take you to my polyvore set list page):

Mustards and Custards

If you haven't thrown up (god I am vomit obsessed today?!) at the rather delicious sounding title above, feast your eyes on this selection of gorgeous yellow + brown earthy toned goodies all from the Great British High-Street. These colours are the very embodiment of Autumn style and scenery and I'm personally a little obsessed with the mustard platforms and the central brown bow coat. Perfection.

Red Red Wine

 

Ahhh, now if this collection doesn't make you think of sipping a delicious bottleglass of red whilst curled up infront of a toasty fire I don't know what will. This particular shade of red has to be one of the most beautiful colours around and I certainly cannot wait to get my hands on a couple of the items from above - namely the sheer shirt and skinny red belt (perfect for belting a cute vintage tea-dress)

Back to Black

As a bit of a black obsessive (literally - half my wardrobe - no joke) I'm more than thrilled that 'grown up goth' is making a comeback this Autumn/Winter. With Luxurious fabrics and incredible detail the items from the above collection combine ridiculously easy style (what can be simpler than black for a go-to all flattering look?) with a beautiful edge that meens I cannot wait to further develop my black-catalogue (ha-ha couldn't resist sorry)

So there we are my loves, a quick peek (again) at what we can expect on the good ole high-street this Autumn. What are you excited to shop for? Is there anything special that's caught your eye lately?

Saturday Styling Showcase!

I'm really excited about today's post! As many of you will no from my blog introduction I hope to become a stylist for regular women in the future. I've always liked helping people put together outfits and I get such a lovely feeling when I help someone feel good about themselves so combining the two would be my dream career. Anyway, today's post is my first oppurtunity to show you lovely bloggers some of my work - thanks to the gorgeous Cathy. 

Cathy runs an amazing blog that you can check out here which is dedicated to helping fellow lovely ladies loose a few pounds and feel better about themselves. Cathy herself is on a weight-loss journey and I must say so far she's doing fantastic! Whilst she finds herself in the transition faze of her diet she understandably has been wanting to look brilliant and show off her hard work without spending too much money!

This has led to us teaming up as Cathy needed a look for a family engagement party but didn't quite know where to go and with my love for hunting down a perfect outfit I was more than happy to step in and help her out! 

So here she is! (Posing like a natural I must say!) in the outfit that I picked out for her:

I think you'll all agree that she's a stunner!

I decided on a bright dress because all too often slimming girls stick to boring black and fade into the shadows whereas this dress allows Cathy to stand out and work her new body without being too In your face - it's quite a demure fit.
The shoes which you can just about make out are nude so therefore elongate her legs and together create the perfect silhoutte.

If you yourself love Cathy's outfit here are the items that feature :

Dress £25.00 

£11.00 Peacocks

Total steal they'd go with ANYTHING

ASOS

I'm really excited to showcase my styling with you, although this is quite a simple look - Cathy and me are going to work on accessories closer to the time, I was really happy with how it turned out and with the fit of the dress on her shape!
