ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD

As I write this the sun is shining brightly through my bedroom window and there is a slight Summer breeze in the air.. despite this my thought are with the Autumn/Winter season.

I know it's August but I can't help but think ahead to when the weather turns colder and harsher, maybe it's because I'm a fashionista.. always looking/thinking ahead is built into our minds. As always the two biggest things I look forward too when the colder months come is chunky knitwear and fur, and what better way to prepare than stocking up during the Summer?



I recently purchased these two chunky knit jumpers from Topman, specifically the Topman sale! That's one of the reasons why I buy classic A/W pieces during the Summer because of the sales. These were £34 down to £20 for the burgundy one and £17 for the navy. They're really comfortable, cozy and will definitely keep me warm! I can't wait to wear them with skinny trousers/jeans, military boots and of course fur!!

P.S. The burgundy jumper reminds me of something Mrs Weasly would knit for Ron or Harry, it does actually make me feel special, haha.

Hello Sailor

Its a trend that comes into fashion every year, the Nautical Look. Colors to look for are Red, White, and Navy Blue. Stripes are key to this look but keep them on the top half of your body and add a thin waist belt to add some extra shape. 

For a fresh Spring look try White skinny jeans, Navy plimsoles teamed with a Blue/White striped vest/T-shirt. Accessories for this look are really cute e.g. bags with miniature anchors on them and gold 'rope' necklaces.

Have fun with this look, it's a timeless look for the Spring.
