Micro Trend- Studding (Alexander Wang)

Dust off your studded boots, belts and dresses ladies as Studding is making a come back.

We first saw it coming through on the Gucci pre-fall AW15 collection, then Alice & Olivia showed a us how studdding can be feminine. But it was confirmed as the must have trim when Alexander Wang dedicated his entire collection to studs in the form of boots, studded sweaters, studded robe coats, and girly studded flippy dressses.

Wardrobe Update- Monday Blues, Confetti Print (&otherstories)

Today's outfit post is coming at you by &otherstories (my new favourite high street brand). I don't wear much print as you might notice, but this printed dress had just the right amount of texture to still keep things fuss free.
Accessorised with my reliable friend 'Nars Heatwave lippy' and away I go...

Let me know what you think? x

& OTHER STORIES Cut from lightweight viscose, this tailored dress features a waist-emphasizing silhouette and a ruffled front. Shoulder pleats and a knee-brushing length add on to the dainty feel.

£55

The American Classic- Derek Lam RTW AW15 (NYFW)

Are there any designers who arent going seventies this season?

Derek Lam showed the power of the 70's is more than a flash in the pan with his interpretation on this seasonsbiggest trend, yet still kept it effortlessly cool.

And what makes it 70's I hear you ask?... kick flare trousers- check, the use of suede/ ponyskin and leather- check, belted trouser suit... hell yea!

A favourite of mine were the new hybrid loafer-ankle boot in rust patent leather with cream piping which was worn with bare legs and taken through the collection under kickflares and strapless dresses.

The use of contrast piping was replicated throughout the collection not only on the footwear but also on an oversized knitted sweater with cream trim and even down a navy kickflare to give the look of elongated stripes.

The must have fabric of the season- the double face wool, was used to update the robe coat and the signature 70's wool trench with contrast revers (You can't have a seventies collection without a trench now can you?) And the re-invention of pony skin tipped with leather gave the double breasted pea coat a modern edge.

The use of Rust head to toe in the sleeveless trouser suit made a strong statement, this collection was certainly not American Hustle Jennifer Lawrence, but more Bradley Cooper- girls dressing like boys yet still looking American classic cool.

Roll on next Autumn... x

Rebecca Taylor- Flares and Fringing (NYFW) AW15 RTW

The 70's vibe has hit Rebecca Taylor this hard this season, but in a more sexy, feminine way while still maintaining her signature look of ladylike coolness. Seventies floral 'William Morris' style printed dresses with high necklines, long sleeves and short hemlines keep things relaxed and easy to wear, while reusing the same print for a skinny kick flare which makes the collection more Janis Joplin from her psychedelic acid rock days.Glossy leather over knee boots and a metallic silver leather ankle boot were the key footwear peices in Teal and oxblood red. The Matalo wide leg pant and the tie neck sheer blouse rang alarm bells of 'Chloe' from AW15 Pre -fall, but I'll let her off as that was also a particular favouite collection of mine.The fringed wool coat and clean denim jacket were a nice alternative to sheepskin and nice to know no harm was done to any animals in creating a still inspiring and beautiful collection. Must have peices from this collection; the sweeping maxi floral dress with high neck and long sleeves, the fringed wool jacket and the Teal leather over knee boots... yes please!!

Oh to be an Elie Saab bride....

As a bride to be, I find myself drawing inspiration from every angle for our impending nuptules... vintage, celebrity... couture! So its no suprise that I found myself drooling over the latest SS15 couture collection by Elie Sabb this week.
Brides to be get ready to feel pangs of jealousy that you dont have a fat bank account to fund this sort of gown. *They're tears of joy honest*

)Oh and if someone wants to know which one I'm particualry hankering over... Its the 2nd one down- Bardot embellished bodice with thigh split feather skirt)
