Looks I Love From Coggles

Coggles is one of my favourite online stores as it stocks so many amazing brands and new designers. I have selected a few of my favourite pieces from the website to share with you. It was hard just narrowing it down to 10 items. I decided to go with the clothes that I haven’t yet posted on my blog before. Wildfox is definitely one of my favourites and I love that Nicole Farhi bag because its name is… Lorna! Haha, how great is that? Nothing is ever named Lorna! All of these items are available to buy at Coggles. Please click this blog post to view the rest of the items I selected from Coggles. (Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin and Facebook)

Fashion Week: Miu Miu Spring 2011

A brand that I am very fond of, Miu Miu, showed their newest Spring/Summer 2011 creations from the designer Muiccia Prada during Paris Fashion Week on the 6th October 2010 in Paris, France. The collection was just what you would expect from Miu Miu, their monogram prints of birds and other animals graced the clothes that the models wore down the runway. A lot of tailoring was used in these garments and it did surprise me for a Spring/Summer collection as the jackets and trousers look more like a Fall/Winter collection. There were plenty of dresses which were covered in sequins and other aesthetics though. Pale pinks and other pastel colours were among the colour pallet for this runway show too. The shoes were also gorgeous! I love the classic platforms that Miu Miu always brings out in every seasons collections. The only thing I never like about Miu Miu is the price tag! Haha. This post has a lot of photos in it and a runway video from the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show so please click this blog post to view the images and video. What do you fashion blog owners think? (Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin and Facebook)

Fall Finds: Tops & Trousers

Topshop Drape Pocket Hareem Trousers. Here is the next installment of my Fall Finds posts. I know I haven’t done one for a while as I have been really busy with Fashion Week posts but Fashion Week ends today so I will have more time for my other posts. This post is all about trousers and tops for that little nip of coldness the Autumn months give you. I’m in love with sequins and silky fabrics as I think they make any outfit look dressed up and chic, the All Saints sequin vest has been on my wish list for ages but the price tag is just too high. I also love the oversized cardigans that look gorgeous with jeans and boots! Trousers this season are all about the relaxed and drop crotch fits, a lot like the old harem pants but not quite as bad. I really like the look of the ones above and the side zippers below, I definitely will be trying this trend as soon as I can! Another trend for bottoms this season is faux leather/suede and wax coated jeans, this is one trend that I have fallen head over heels for! Which are your favourites?

Shopping For Shearling

Shearling or sheepskin has been popping up all over clothes for the past month or so and it’s becoming really popular! I’m seeing more and more of it when I go out and I’ve started to like it. To be honest, when I first saw the new Topshop Look Book and it had a lot of shearling on the coats and jackets, I wasn’t too sure if it would take off. I’m really glad it has though, I’m loving so many of the boots and jackets! But for those of you, like myself, who wont do the real sheepskin, then there are plenty of faux sheepskin options and Topshop has lots of them! I know it’s going to keep me toasty in the Winter months as I get really cold so easily! All of these items in this post are available to buy at Topshop. You know it’s my favourite store, haha!

All Saints Autumn/Winter 2010 Men’s Look Book

I know a lot of guys read my blog as well based on the comments I get so I have included the men’s All Saints Autumn/Winter 2010 Look Book as well. I often see a lot of men wearing All Saints clothes around town and I love the way it looks. I go shopping in the store quite a lot with someone special so I know most men love the All Saints store too. What do you think of the collection? I Think it looks different to their usual style, there are no combat boots this time and baggy jeans, it looks like a more smart seasons collection! I like it! Again, there are a lot of photos in this Look Book so you will need to click the post to view them all. (Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin and Facebook)

All Saints Autumn/Winter 2010 Women’s Look Book

I am a huge fan of All Saints! I absolutely love their clothes and I like to shop there as often as I can but it is pretty expensive. I wanted to share with you their brand new Look Book which is full of all of their Autumn/Winter clothes for 2010. The gold sequin top is my favourite! I have been staring at it on the website every since I walked past it in the store a couple of weeks ago. It’s so beautiful but the price just isn’t! I can’t afford to spend £195 on a tank top. They always have amazing cardigans and knitwear though, pretty tops and dresses too. Their collections are always so unique and I love how each piece looks individual, normally with pieces of fabric hanging off in random places. What do you think of the new All Saints collection? There are a lot of photos in this Look Book so you will need to click this post to view them all. (Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin and Facebook)

A New Love For DUO Boots

As you know, I have recently fallen in love with DUO Boots. I bought their Linden over the knee boots which you saw here and I can’t stop staring at them! The main thing that amazes me about DUO Boots is they come in 21 different calf sizes and their shoes come in 3 widths! It’s absoultely perfect for those of us who have a different foot to calf ratio to most. Like myself, I have size UK 7 feet but I only have a 33cm calf width which is really small. Normally every boot I try that comes in a standard size is always too big and it looks really silly on me. I was so excited to find boots that actually fitted my calves! 😀 DUO Boots start from size 30cm and go up to 50cm so it’s perfect for the ladies with small calves or big calves as well as regular size calves! They have some amazing styles too, I’m loving the Laurel boots and the Linden the most, they are my favourites! I can’t wait to be able to wear them all through winter and keep my legs nice and warm for once! I’ve piled together a few of my favourite boots and shoes in this post. The shoes come in the narrow, regular and wide widths as well so there is literally a shoe or boot for everyone! Not to mention they go up to size UK 9! I’m really loving this brand! I just had to share it with you! All of the boots and shoes you see here are available to buy at…

Fashion Week: Alexander Wang Spring 2011

I thought I would try to include as many videos as I could as well for my New York Fashion Week posts. Starting off with a video is Alexander Wang’s Spring 2011 show which was held on the 11th September 2010. He is one of my favourite bag designers! I’m in love with the Rocco duffel bag! I’m loving so many of his styles! Again, because of the trends this season being crisp and clean with neutrals being a big statement, his collection is full of beautiful whites, long dresses, trousers and jackets. Pretty much the whole collection is in white, beige and cream. H’s also used very strong tailoring so the cuts are very clean and formal looking but on the contrary, a lot of floaty fabrics and chic style outfits were also present. I did spy a lot of silver metallics being used as aesthetics to the clothes as well and I also spotted a splash of colour here and there, involving pastel shades of mint green and pale orange. Loving the collection! It gives me a sense of a very futuristic feel to it. What do you fashion blog owners think? (Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin and Facebook)
