Monochrome Lookbook AW13

So it’s getting slightly colder and I am already layering in different pieces and textures for this up and coming season. I love the monochrome trend and if you already filter through your wardrobe you will realise you have a lot of black and white. Start introducing leather, faux fur or real fur, different prints and plain block pieces. Rock this trend with your hair up and a bright lip for a strong empowering ambience, I think a bold lip or a bold colourful accessory will make this a statement look for this season.

It’s so easy to wear, the lookbook I have created is pretty casual, to rock this look during the night add plain black heels, jewellery and wear plain block colours. I am totally in love with any sort of bomber jacket this season, don’t forget to mix up the textures and look fierce. Don’t forget to subscribe!

Winter Wish List

As I am getting older my taste in fashion has become slightly more refined. I still love my impulse buys with the fast fashion trends but over the Autumn Winter Season I prefer to invest in quality fashion that is timeless with structured cuts but also looks super FAB!

I stumbled into Reiss the other days and in my head I already spent my next pay cheque. I need that orange winter coat… ooooh maybe two…. one casual and one more formal…. I need a few shirts to wear with my leather skirt and tights and also need a few new accessories… the list goes on! I have bought a few things over the years from Reiss and the quality is still pretty much brand new and every time I pull one of my last season dresses out people always ask me where it’s from. I love to mix old season and new season, keep it fresh yet bring in my own style! Check out some of the key pieces I want to invest in this season…. let me know which ones you will be buying and help me choose mine! I would recommend buying a statement colour coat, colourful knits to layer with, invest in a evening dress for the up and coming parties….. So many options… so little time!

Wishlist

This Seasons Coat

It’s coming up to winter… the skies will be grey (the reality of living in London)…. but brighten up your day to day with this statement coat! I love colour especially in winter… I prefer winter clothes over summer as you can spot the true fashionistas a mile away.

This coat is a straight cut statement piece and an investment piece for season after season for £295.

The Day to Night Dress

This season we all need that dress that we can wear at work or during the day and add a few accessories and be ready for the evening. This easy neo black lace dress with it’s navy panels and body con fit will look casual during the day with a pair of tights, add an oversized jumper or a casual jacket with cute ankle boots. For the evening wear sheer tights or no tights, add heels, red lips and a leather jacket and a statement necklace and your ready for the night! You can’t beat a day to night dress this season… you never know who might ask you out for dinner! Hehe…

A Dash of Sparkle 

Sparkle…. there can never be enough, this piece I am totally in love with! I would buy this jumper one or two sizes bigger to get that oversized look and wear it with either skinny jeans or thick black tights and cute ankle boots. Rock this with a leather jacket or a fitted suit jacket. I really need this and it midi sleeves, for the evening time I would rock this again super oversized with cute heels and smokey eyes and nude lips!

The sparkle is the main focus, so muted neutral lips and a smokey eye would give it a rocker look but still easy to wear. For the day rock with jeans and cute shoes or even converse… it depends how comfortable you are rocking sparkle! I always love wearing something pretty it makes me feel better…. trust me retail therapy is the new therapy ladies! Don’t you love this?

Jacket Madness

I think I own about 50 jackets… I can’t stop buying them. I have two black leather jackets but one is studded and the other one is pretty plain. Leather can be worn throughout the season, rock it with jeans, during the night… whenever they always look good.  This leather jacket reminds me of a bomber jacket… which is totally on trend this season. I really really want this, its slightly pricey but it’s an investment piece. Remember when buying goods you want them to last over the next few seasons. Quality over quantity guys.

The Statement Shirt 

You need that shirt that is easy to wear but my goodness does it make a statement. I literally saw this in store and was thinking… I could rock this with my leather skirt… with skinnies! Try it with my hair up and red lips with jeans or during the evening with a structure pair of shorts and smokey eyes. I always have to image myself in the outfit before I buy it… where would I wear this? How would I rock this? I love this…. maybe one of my favourite pieces from their collection this season. It’s so pretty …….

This season croc embossed leather is the bomb-diggity! Everything is croc croc and more croc, this cute little side bag in nude can be worn during the evening and rocked in the summer as well! Make good investments ladies and you will look a million dollars!
