Faux Leather Vest- c/o Glamorous

Skirt- Miss Selfridge

Socks- Primark

Boots- c/o Debenhams (not online yet)

Leather and Chunky Boots, it must be autumn! This faux leather beauty is from the wonderful guys at Glamorous. I love the colour, although I wish I had a little bit more of a tan to show some contrast, my skin is rather similar to the soft beige shade. Teamed with my amazing boots from Debenhams which by the way are both comfortable and bloody good looking and I was ready for a night at a friends house party.

p.s sorry for the lack of presence over the last week. I have had n internet at the house! This week i'm back with some great ootd posts and my favourites picks for autumn.

Winter Warmers Wish List

1. Orange Oversized Coat- Topshop £175 / 2. Checked Coat- Zara £129 / 3. Green Slouchy Coat- Monki £50 / 
4. Grey Tailored Coat- Stella McCartney £1940 / 5. Black Tailored Coat- Alexander Wang  £730 / 6. Curved Seam Wool Coat- COS £175 / 7. Oversized Check Coat- River Island £65 / 8. Hooded Wool Coat- COS £150

Autumn's here and so another Wish List presents itself. I'd like to think this time it's a little more sensible, directional, thought about etc I mean no-one should be cold, right?! Okay, so maybe every choice isn't and this is a little extravagant in places (See Stella McCartney No4) but a girl can dream whilst having her sensible shoes on. Correct?!

I'd say everything on here is pretty much my usual style, the only thing kind of out there (for me) is this orange beauty from Topshop (1). Oversized Lapels, Statement Colour and Slouchy, it's a win, win situation if you ask me.

My absolute favourite is the COS hooded wool Coat in maroon. This is quite different to the other coats I own and I'd be quite keen (determined) to get this in my wardrobe this season. Another one I'm hoping to buy is the Monki Long Coat in Khaki. This is just £50 and with that in mind I can't imagine this is very warm, it seems more of jacket to me. That's not a problem though, I definitely have room for jackets in my closet.

Winter's on it's way and I have my eyes on many pieces, let's just hope I get what I want, what I really really want. (sorry)

ZARA: New Collection

Zara have done it again and this time even better. The launch of there new collection has seen me weeping into the sheets of my freshly changed bed. I literally feel severe pain in response to me not being able to own every single piece. I can treat myself to a few things and number1 on my list will be the super cute cow print skirt followed by the wintery check wool coat. I mean wowza's! I feel like Zara are just getting it right at the minute and for me they have definitely taken the crown away from Topshop for no1 high street retailer.

Whacha think honey's? Is Zara your go to place too?

New Buys.

Happy Easter to you all! How's everybody's weekend so far?! I've got a few things planned and I'm currently back in Manchester enjoying family time. I've mainly spent the last week buying new bits of clothing for the days ahead and I thought I'd share with you my new buys, so take a look below!

I bought 2 lovely tops, one from COS and one from &other stories, i also bought some trousers from H&M and shoes from Primark. Boy have I given some money to Hennes & Mauritz this week.

I bought the lime top from COS for £39. I think this is quite steep for a tshirt style top, but it is made in some lovely silk fabric that has a slight metallic look to it. The black tee from &other stories has a white mesh stripe running through which is a more relaxed way to wear the Monochrome trend. The geo print trousers are an absolute bargain for £14.99 from the wonder that is H&M. A pop of colour in the form of cobalt blue is just what I needed right now! And the shoes, oh the shoes!! I've been looking for a pair of heeled sandals for so long and I was stunned to find these baby's in Primark for just £12.

What do you guys think of these? Have you bought anything wonderful lately? Please leave your comments and links!

OOTD#2- JW Anderson x Topshop

So how has everybody's week been? I must say I have had a really stressful week, so much going on at work with Trend Presentations and Designer Meetings in addition I've been trying to get fit! Such a hard life I know. Anyway I've been trying to record my day to day outfits to share with all you lovely people and here is my latest. I went shopping today and although the snow is out in full force and I would really liked to off wrapped up indoors, I couldn't help but put on one of my favourite tee's. I bought this wonderful quilted paisley top from the JW Anderson x Topshop Collection and I must say it's been one of my favourite purchases this year. Its a great buy- on trend and it can literally be worn in so many ways! What do you think of it?

Today I paired it with my faithful leather skirt from Topshop and a cute cropped white shirt that I bought last summer from Forever 21. Although the weather is dreadful I'm kind of trying to get in the Spring spirit and so I added a Pop of colour with a lovely yellow leather clutch bag from Jasper Conran at Debenhams.

Leather Skirt- Topshop

White Shirt- Forever 21

Paisley Top- JWAnderson x Topshop 

Yellow Clutch Bag- Jasper Conran at Debenhams

Black Stud Ankle Boots- Zara

Silver Watch- Michael Kors

Global Kids Fashion Week!

So like so many of us do, today I was reading Grazia on my lunch hour and I was absolutely besotted as soon as I saw the words. Global Kids Fashion Week. I mean how adorable?! I know that we shouldn't be putting so much pressure on kids and youth today in terms of body image etc, but I really could not help looking at the pictures and thinking oh my god, how CUTE?!

The event was sponsored by established brands such as Paul Smith Junior, Chloe, Tommy Hilfiger, Junior Gaultier, Diesel, Little Marc Jacobs & so many more. Although the week was centered around new fashion from around the world there was also entertainment, activities and fundraising that included both the children and their parents. 

Sponsored by AlexandAlexa.com the fashion shows were infused with dancing, laughing and even balloons, whilst still having a high degree of professionalism. Overall it seemed like a great few days that has given brands the opportunity to build up there exposure on Kidswear and its status as a ever expanding industry.  

 Kenzo & Anne Kurris

Paul Smith Junior & Little Marc Jacobs

Roberto Cavalli  & Chloe

CELINE AW13

My love for french fashion houses has never been something I have denied, but if you know me you'll also know about my love for the wonderful Celine. From my early days of exploring the world of fashion and fashion houses, something about Celine instantly stood out to me. The elegance and confidence of a woman wearing Celine is something I truly admire. I am in love with the clean cut silhouette and the brilliant tailoring we see season after season.

This season we saw mixes of white, grey marl, pastel pink & black as the basis for the AW13 colour palette. Below the knee tailored skirts with structured tshirts and fur clutches makes this Celine collection oh so yummy!! Laundry Bag Checks were enlarged onto tailored oversized coats and funnel neck sweaters, to create a warm humble feeling.

Something quite special happened this season, It was like the old Celine mixing with the more contemporary and I absolutely loved it!!! Do you have a favourite designer? What do you love about them? Please comment and let me know!

LOEWE AW13

Geometric patterns and panelling in luxurious leather in the form of tailored coats and knee length skirts makes this seasons collection one of my favourite from the Spanish fashion house. The detailing on each look  is brilliant and the collection works together so well. Again we see pops of colour in the form of bright orange and blue- wonderful.

LFW: Day 3

Burberry Prorsum: AW 13

The latest collection from the British genius Christopher Bailey comes under the name 'Trench Kisses' and boy was it fantastic. Based on sixties showgirl Christine Keeler, there was a hint of her controversial life in every look.

A mix of the Burberry Heritage and Keeler's questionable lifestyle, resulted in a beautiful juxtaposition of classic Trench Coats made from Latex and Rubber. Formal pencil skirts in leopard print and sheer latex alongside cute knitwear with pretty collars was match made in heaven; Maybe something to take the edge of the kinky Keeler aura.

No matter whether this was your thing, my thing, or Burberry's thing, it's safe to say Christopher Bailey and Cara made Kitten Heels cool again.

Take a look at my favourite looks below;

LFW: Day 2

Sunday the 17th was the day I had been waiting for after scanning over the LFW schedule a few days ago. Topshop Unique, Mary Katranzou, Richard Nicoll, Nicole Farhi were all on for today and they were all worth the wait. The weather was beautiful and so was the FROW, with the likes of Pixie Geldof, Kate Bosworth, Nicola Roberts all in tow it was hard not to feel the anticipation of the fashion forward collections waiting to parade the catwalks.

Topshop Unique: AW 13

Every season we see a new Topshop Show Space unveiled at Fashion Week. This time is was the chance for the Tate Modern to shine. The concrete background was perfect for the boyish charm we see so often during the Topshop Unique shows.

The show began with model of the moment Cara Delevingne in a edgy oversized long-line bomber jacket married with a beautiful patent leather skirt and cute knitted crop top. Models outfitted in black outwear with hints of blood red followed, whilst heavy knits with softer flippy skirts showed a juxtaposition in texture. This soon turned to soft pretty pink hues, for sating dresses and androgynous tailoring.

Topshop Unique doing what they do best, but with a bit more edge and a little hint of glamour. One of My Favourite Shows so far this season, take a look at my favourite looks below;
