Thursday Trend - Forties and fabulous

Hello my beauties, I hope you're all well and good! Another week drawing to a close and I can definitely feel a distinct chill in the air as we head further into Autumn. Of course I could be trying to convince myself of this to justify purchasing all of the pretties that I'm absolutely dying for this week but we shall pretend that is not the case ;)

Todays 'Trend' as you have probably guesssed by my super subtle title is 'Forties and fabulous' now as a girl who's in love with the decadent fashion and fabulous tailoring that emits forties glam I was super excited to post this feature.

Forties fashion is absolutely perfect for those winter months, glamourous, goreous and also tailored to pull in all those post party indulgence lumps and bumps that we all aquire over the colder time (hey don't feel bad - it's kind of like hibernation feeding but without the sleep)

Here are my favourite pieces from the high-street proving that although forties styling is high-glamour it doesn't have to be high-price:

1.Topshop £20.00 

2.New Look £16.99

3.Peacocks £25.00 

4.Topshop £68.00 

5.New Look £27.99 

6.Topshop £35.00 

7.Tesco £25.99

8.New Look £2.99

9.River Island £35.00  

So there we are my loves don't feel naughty about loving the forties ;)

Thursday Trend - Mustard

Hey lovelies, I hope you're all well and looking forward to your extended easter weekend! It's a gorgeous day here and I've well and truly got into the Spring mood by 'Spring Cleaning' my room. It's looking a heck of a lot better now and I have a lot more space ... which I'm planning to promptly re-fill with new goodies ;)

So as I was browsing online earlier I really noticed a subtle trend that seems to have crept onto the high-street - Mustard.

Mustard clothes seem to be everywhere right now and I must say I think it's a great shade for spring/summer, as shown here by some of Hollywoods elite fashionistas:

 

 Firstly the lovely Diane Kruger:

 

Working a divine mustard tone dress on the red carpet which is the epitome of unique vintage glamour and works perfectly with her skin tone - proving that Mustard is wearable for all skin tones.

Then we have the beautiful Kate Bosworth:

 

In a much more casual but none the less gorgeous vintage style number which teamed with tights and boots would make the perfect autumn-chic look (planning ahead now girls lol)

Then the ever chic Olivia Palermo

Wearing a gorgeous bright mustard toned skirt which I beleive shows the perfect way to wear mustard for summer - simple and clean lined creating a perfect sillohoutte. Not that we'd expect anything less from Miss Palermo.

 

 If you feel inspired by the lovely ladies above then I've sourced a few mustard items from the good old High-Street to help you achieve the look:

 

Firstly there's this gorgeous beachy style summer dress which for some reason really reminds me of pocahontas ha-ha. It's so casual but pretty It'd go with anything I think and look especially perfect with some pretty sandals and ethnic jewellery.
Topshop £32.00

 Then we have this simple slouchy Tee which is the most versatile style top ever and would work over or under anything or on it's own.
Topshop £12.00

 Lastly we have this gorgeous sheer shirt which I would personally style over a bikini on some gorgeous beach in the sun (yeah I can dream) with a waist-cincing belt and some more jewellery. Ahh dreaming of summer now!

Dorothy Perkins £25.00

So there we have it ladies a lovely new trend for the summery months!
What do you think of mustard? A MUST have or a MUST avoid?
