Velvet is back in a big way. That and its cheaper cousin, velour. Frankly, I’m happy with either. It gives me major 90s nostalgia. The catwalks are wearing it sophisticated, but if I do, it will be in that slightly grunge-y way of my adolescence. Dolce and Gabbana Emporio Armani Genny All images from Style.com
Unlike the previous week, burgundy and blue aren’t worn together, but separately. Both colours have been all over the catwalks for winter. Here are the best of burgundy and blue, all from Style.com. Araks Christian Siriano Gary Graham Bill Blass Prabal Gurung Salvatore Ferragamo
This is a trend I’ve only recently noticed while looking through all the catwalk photos for autumn/winter. I’m a fan of pairing red and purple together — my bedroom pretty much has this theme and I think it looks good! A deep red and dark purple mix is perfect for the winter months. Here are [...]
I absolutely cannot wait for it to get cold enough (so, like, maybe two days out of winter, here) to wear giant, thick jumpers. I plan to wear them with leggings as PANTS and possibly boots or brogues. There’s something so very cosy and homey about it all. And, let’s be honest, anything that doubles [...]
Coats are a winter staple in practically every other state except mine, sigh. This still hasn’t stopped me from purchasing them, in the hopes it will someday get cold enough for them. Or that I’ll move to a cooler climate. Here are my favourites from the catwalks. Alexis Mabille Cacharel Chloe All images from Style.com
This was a trend I only got into during the tail-end of last winter. They’re back again for this winter, albeit a bit sleeker, but I can’t wait to take mine out and wear them again. Erin Fetherson ICB Misha Nonoo (All images from Style.com)
They’re back! Knee high boots been out of trend for a while, but this past season has had them on practically every catwalk. Bill Blass Piazza Sempione Salvatore Ferragamo All images from Style.com
This is probably a trend that is going to be way too hot to wear in Brisbane, but damned if I don’t want to try it, despite how expensive leather can be. I especially love it in the a-line shape for skirts and the cropped styles for jackets. Blk Dnm Calvin Klein Collection Chado Ralph [...]
I seem to be focusing much more on accessories and footwear this past year as a trend. Which is a good thing! If you want to wear a trend, but don’t want to commit to a full outfit, shoes and accessories are really the way to go. Here are the best shoes from this season: [...]
Mesh and strapping is a trend I think will carry into winter, so here are my favourites: ASOS (on sale at the moment!) Domino Dollhouse (on sale!) Forever 21 Makeup and hair Dark lipstick Bottega Veneta Gucci Flushed cheeks Michael Kors Big hair Derek Lam (Images from Style.com)
The Dolly-licious Deborah from Jezzy Belle’s sent me an amazing dress. It arrived yesterday and I immediately had to try it on. I’ve bought from Deborah before — this cape (I can’t decide what I want to wear with it! Plain black, full skirted dress? Black high waisted pants?), which is such a beautiful colour. [...]
