Get Skirty

Hello my lovelies I hope you're all well and good. Absolutely cannot beleive the weather we've been having (god you know I'm English do I EVER shut up about the weather?) and although I've been told it's not going to last (boo weatherman) I'm enjoying a last day of sitting out in the sunshine.

As most of you will know by now I am an unashamed dress obsessive - half of my wardrobe is made up of an absolutely huge variety of them and I can never pass up the oppurtunity to add to my collection. However, something quite amazing has happened to me this last few weeks... as I've been browsing the shops/internet/blogosphere I've found myself increasingly drawn to the absolutely amazing selection of skirts that are around at the moment.

Take a look at these selections from the trusty old high-street and see what I meen:

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 ;)

Cape Town

Hello sugars, how're we all today? Currently waiting for Mr Postman to pay me a visit (does anyone else think this makes the day go ridiculously slow or am I just impatient?) Another freezing day in blustery Britain (I swear my alliteration is natural I need to stop ha-ha) so I've been on the hunt again for more cosey clothes.

Today we're going a little bit batman and focusing on the gorgeous Autumn/Winter key piece that is the cape. Versatile, stylish and perfect for indulging your inner super-hero, capes are fast swinging their way into the hearts of the fashionistapack.

Here's some gorgeous cape images from fashionweek:

Absolutely in lurve with the detailing / fabric contrasts.

And here are some budget friendly versions I've hunted down so you can all become caped crusaders this A/W ;) 

 

First we have this very regal looking beauty which also has a little bit of a military edge thanks to the gorgeous buttons. This has got to be my personal favourite as the colour and the cut just make it look so expensive and classic!
Romwe £37.00

 Next up we have this beautiful simple camel/caramel (that's a mouthful) coloured creation. Super cute with a quirky neck detail that sets it apart, this baby would look good over anything. (Personally imagining it over a LBD with some gorgeous winter boots)
Dorothy Perkins £55.00

 We then have this classic tie detailed cape which comes in such a beautiful cream colour (stay away from any mulled wine whilst in this beauty) again I can imagine this neutral lovely looking amazing with a range of colour palettes - blacks, blues and even as a softer shade over a gorgeous burgundy dress.
Tesco £35.00

 Next up we have our first little black number similar in detail to the cream number above, this baby turns up the volume with it's edgy button details and high collar = high glam. Best bit is the price and absolute snip at...

Tesco £35.00

 This little number is the most expensive of the bunch but with it's Rachel Zoe esque design and classic colour combination it would be the perfect investment piece to carry you all through Autumn and Winter in style (and warmth)
Topshop £85.00

Lastly we have another super budget friendly cutie in this cropped grey design. Minamlistic and effortlessly chic this would look gorgeous teamed with skinny jeans for a lighter Autumn look.
Tesco £30.00

So there we are my lovelies, will you be channelling your inner superhero this Autumn/Winter?
