Winter is quickly approaching and Scotland has been covered in snow the past few days, it's a winter wornderland out here. It's beautiful to look at but not very pleasant to be walking on! Fear not all my fashionistas! This is no excuse to feel you can't be fashionable, infact this is one of my favourite seasons to dress up for! I'm very excited to share all the fall trends with you.
Fur fur fur! I can't stress enough how much it's in this fall. I know there is some of you who are totally against it and the thought of adding fur into an outfit might seem frightening , but not to worry! No need to go overboard, even as little as a simple accessory containing fur can do the job! Theres so much to choose from! Coats, boots, gillets, bags and simple hair pieces. French designers have made sure fur is in there winter collection this year, Chanel being one of them. Make sure if you do decide to go with this trend, do NOT wear it from head to toe, what a complete disaster! You can wear just the coat with skinny jeans and a simple vest under it or that christmas dress you can't wait to put on! The key is one piece at a time! Alot of the high street shops have fur all over their windows including Topshop, River Island, and Lipsy being one of my favourites!
Kim Kardashian rocked the fur gillet very well and Stacey Soloman wore this beautiful faux fur from lipsy.
Military
The military look has been around for a while sneaking in and out, but this season it is definitely a look to look out for! Marching jackets are everywhere! Long coats, hats and cargo pants are the simple items that can transform any outfit into a military look. Marc Jacobs, Burberry and Fendi are some of many designers who had this look in their collection this season. Things to look out for are brass buttons, strong shoulders, hareem trousers and khaki (which i've seen alot in Michael Cors collection) and camel colours! I love how the military gives a chic and polished look which can be put it together so effortlessly! An oversized neutral colour T with a pair of black leggings and a militrary inspired hat is a great flattering look to wear during the day which you can achieve quite easily as you probably have these items in your wardrobe! Many celebrities have worn the military trend recently, including Cheryl Cole in her "Fight for this Love"music video. Again, one or two military inspired items at a time!
Almost forgot! Boots are a definite thumbs up for this look, especially doc martins!
I love how Lily Donaldson pulled it off adding a little bit of indie into it and also Alicia Keys shows that you don't have to always play it safe and go with brighter colours!
The Masculine/Boyfriend Look
My favourite is the checked tweed blazers with elbow patches i've seen recently in Topshop and River island, i love love loveeee it!
ALSO what's in....
-Natural earrth colour such as brown beige and camel , seen in Ralph Laurens collection.
- Wine/Red colours seen in Givenchy, great colour for party wear!
-Lace for those who want to spice up an outfit and add some sexiness-Cardigans with Crowl necks, rouched sleeves and boyfriend cardigans
-Femininty gives off an elegant soft look. Look out for Soft pinks, silky luxerious(Alexandra Mcqueen) dresses/blouses and the beautiful pearl accessories. I loved Stella McCartney's femininity this season!
-Bags; brown, furry,back sacs and hobo bags
-Hairstyles; messy model buns, wavey beach hair, fish tail and bohemian updos am loving!
