Wrap-up for Winter

They re-imerged into the retail arena last year and they're back with further fashionable force this fall. The winter wrap is back! Cape, poncho, or blanket; not always the most practical outerwear, but an easy and wonderfully warm cover-up. Stores on all levels of the market have adopted this trend, you just have to find the right style for you and your budget.

Selecting the Unexpected - Gorgeously Glamorous Garments from S/S16

So for fashion lovers this is one of the most exciting few weeks of the year as the world showcases their up and coming styles in the fashion capitals. 

With Paris proceeding today with a fantastic line up of talented designers, I have been looking back on the shows from Milan, Copenhagen, New York and London. 

Here I have tried to look at designers that have not necessarily caught my eye in the past but have overly impressed me with their Spring Summer 2016 Collections. 

New York - Calvin Klein Collection

Copenhagen - Mark Kenly Domino Tan

London - Bora Aksu

[http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/spring-summer-2016/ready-to-wear/bora-aksu]

With no bias intentions what-so-ever I would like to congratulate those that showed at London fashion week as there were so many successful collections and I seriously struggled to choose which to display! It is definitely worth a browse! 

Milan - Ermanno Scervino

[http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/spring-summer-2016/ready-to-wear/ermanno-scervino/full-length-photos/gallery/1486753]

There is a definite colour pallet prevailing, no prizes goes to those who guess it...But what  gorgeously glamorous garments it aids to create! 

Now who's excited for Paris Fashion week?...I certainly am! 

Lets Get Realistic

Unless you're very luck we won't all be able to buy our wardrobe for the winter off of the catwalk. 

This doesn't mean that we cannot be on trend or have quality garments! Below I have chosen an item for each of my previous article topics from the past week that you should snap from the high-street ASAP.

White Outerwear and Shearling- ASOS currently stock the Paisie, faux shearling coat with contrast collar. This purchase is a promising one covering both the "white outerwear" trend as well as being made of realistic faux shearling.

80s Sparkle- Zara has some beautiful garments for this coming season. One of my favourites has to be the Accordion Pleat Skirt with metallic silver stripes. There is no way you could get more stylish with some sparkle!

Interior Inspirations- Riverisland have addressed the catwalks interior influences and produced a lovely wearable shirt dress with blue tile print.

Classy Classic Clutch- I am in LOVE with this L.K. Bennet, Laura Saf Ballerina Nude clutch. Available at NEXT, there is no better bag to have this season!

[http://www.next.co.uk/g2x2044s4#134017g68] 

Black- With this being the colour of the season there is a definite need for a LBD in your wardrobe for that much needed celebration. Topshop has a variety of LBD for everyone. This staple garment will never go out of style. This particular black dress is by Rare, giving you that little bit more exclusivity.

Interior Inspiration

Mary Katrantzou Fall15

[http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2015-ready-to-wear/mary-katrantzou/slideshow/collection#12]

I have always been influenced by interiors when it comes to designing clothing, this was made even more prominent when I met my boyfriend, an interior designer. One of the most talented fashion designers that focuses on interior design as an influence is Mary Katrantzou. 

Dries Van Noten

[http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2015-ready-to-wear/dries-van-noten/slideshow/collection#62]

For Fall 2015 many other designers have taken inspiration from tapestries, brocades, and really the whole contents of houses through the centuries. Marc By Marc Jacobs, Erdem, Dolce and Gabbana, Celine, Tods, Louis Vuitton, Giambattista Valli, Suno, Dries Van Noten, Etro, Vivienne Westwood and Burberry Prossum are just part of the list of top designers that have joined the work of Katrantzou for the season, although often slightly less event garde!

Burberry Prorsum

[http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2015-ready-to-wear/burberry-prorsum/slideshow/collection#7]

So think flocked florals and prints of Liberty and LLB style and you're sorted!
