Hiiiii Fellow Blogees,
Well, do we have some gems for you this week? Wednesday Winners has got so exciting. I would say we're now full swing into autumn, the clocks have gone back and Halloween is looming. So here are our 10 special picks to keep you shining (and most importantly, warm!) through the darker nights.
First up, is this glorious
Houndstooth Dress from Mango. This monchrome print is great for day to night wear. We're also loving the leather trim, subtle hints of leather are pretty much always a good move. It has a great effortless feel, as if you've just chucked it on... which is always a good look think. Effortless chic... you can't go wrong. At 60 quid, it would be a crime not to!
Sticking to the monochrome theme, are these positively swinging cigarette pants. With a generous nod to the 60s, these trousers would be perfect with some black chelsea boots and a nice wooly jumper. Great alternative to a dressed up look look without having to squeeze yourself into a bodycon.
These ASOS plimsolls are bang on trend with a checkered print. These type of shoes are great for an off duty look, and can really bring the look together if paired with the right accent colours. And at £20, they're a bargain, and you'll get far more wear out of them than you think. Also big up to ASOS, they're one of the few companies that do free delivery on the majority of items, and we salute you.
This swing dress from French Connection is one of our faves from the Wednesday Winners. It's classically simple and chic. You could keep it in your wardrobe for 20 years and it would not go out of fashion. The simple colour and style of the design makes it a go to dress for all occasions. The pearl (obviously not real pearls,but hey, who has real pearls anyway?!) detailing around the neckline is stylishly clever, as it draws the attention up to elongate the neck and your lovely glowy face.
Skorts have made a massive comeback over the summer, and there's no reason not to continue to enjoy them through the colder weather. Just pair with some black tights and the jobs a gooden. I remember sporting a skort as a cool, hip fashionista that I was, aged 7 in the early 00s. Personally they've always been an item I thought were cool, and my love for them has only ever grown. But thats enough about me. You lot need to get your hands on this one from Miss Selfridge. The print and colours are darker, and the material more heavy duty for the colder weather. Basically Skorts are awesome, and totally the way to end 2014 in style.
This pretty little number from New Look is also a favourite of ours. It's a great day time throw on, and cheap as chips. The floral design makes it interesting and it's got a good shape to it, slightly nipped in at the waist. Great with a leather jacket and boots.
This skirt is the bees knees to be honest. It's a scuba skirt, so it's made of that great material that you just have to squidge (or is that just me?). It's a circle shape, so it flares out and makes you feel like your in 1940s hollywood. It's pretty much knee length, so it's ultra flattering and gives you modesty, perfect! Also, it has an uber cool lilac lining, so if you're into little things like that (as we are) that's a little extra bonus for you.
Now, behold, this delightful tweed dress. We just love it. Not only tweed, which is very elegant and grown up, but the shape is very flattering. It almost looks like a co-ord, but being a dress it's easier to wear. It's such a great dress for Autumn, it has wintery colours and the gravitas of the tweed really makes it cosy with tights. There's also something very Kate Middleton about it, so if you're on a budget, but want a bit of class and sophistication to add to your wardrobe, this might be the dress for you.
Warehouse are fast becoming my favourite shop at the moment. Not only are they host to the amazing tweed dress we just discussed (see above if you haven't read this in order), but they also are the proud sellers of this gorgeous teddy bear coat. This oversized beauty comes in this super cosy caramel colour with gigantic pockets, perfect for the chilly nights. This coat is reminiscent of the
Max Mara Carrara coat Kim Kardashian rocked last winter. As glorious as hers is, it's also near £2000. Soooo, we thought this alternative at £85 was a pretty good buy. After all, not all of us have a net worth of 65 million dollars.
Last but certainly not least is this little city bag from Zara. The burgundy colour is great as it goes with so many other colours. This smaller city bag is complete with all the usual features : long strap, multiple pockets etc. This bag is perfect for day trips or concerts, it will be your best friend. Big enough to hold everything you need, but small enough not to get in the way.
So that concludes this week's Wednesday Winners. We hope you enjoy our picks, and if you purchase any of them, do let us know!
Until next time...
