winter time

Winter time....my worst time of year

I am a bit of a hot bod and never feel the cold so i like to be in as little clothes as possible, which during the winter often gains me very odd looks.....thick hot itchy scratchy jumpers, jackets, layers, scarves, jeans with tights under, skirts with tights eurrrghhhhhhh

however just because i dnt like to wear the 'in' winter fashion pieces doesnt mean i dnt love the new 'in' fashion winter pieces and rush to buy them as soon as primark and h&m stock em in...so below i have picked my favourite top ten must have pieces or styles for the winter.

At the top of my list, of course, is the aviator/shearling jacket. This one above is one of my faves and is from Topshop



Next is what i like to refer to as the 'Whitney Headband'. They have great ones in primark for about £2


Velvet leggings...maroon, deep purple, grey and indigo blue are my fave colours for the winter season


I am so happy tapestry bags are back in vogue, i love them, and best of all everyones mum, gran or autie owed these bags back when they were last in fashion, so go raid there closets and be in fashion for free :-)
Socks and heels.....bonus of this being can stil wear your hot barely there strappy shoes in the winter and keep ya tootsies warm with some cute socks. Woman team the socks with heels, boat shoes, boots, dr martens, sandals, trainers etc Men do not combine any type of shoe and sock especialy socks and sandals ( Seriously in this day'n age y is that crime stil committed ? )

Next on trend this season is animal print. To me animal print never really goes out of fashion, ok so when its not in fashion its quite a tacky design/print however put on a animal print dress, jumpsuit or skirt and it always provides instant glamour and strikingness...personally i think the best animal prints are leopard, zebra and cow print...And in the fashion world no-one does animal print like Roberto Cavalli
Whether it be leather gloves, suede gloves, studded gloves, elbow gloves, wrist gloves...Gloves are in this autumn
Think bright, neon, bold, 80's style fluro colours......

Transparent materials, lace, ruffels, its all in this a/w go for black or browns to goth it up or go for nudes and corals for a pretty girly look


And last but not least, my favourite, baggy knitted boyfriend cardigans. My fave are the off cream aran cardigans :-)


Many other trends this a/w include leather, cosmic and abstract print and designs, fur, red & crimson colours, nude, pale peachy colours, camel/butter suede colouring is very big right now, minimilist cuts, sharp tailouring, clothing with creates a silhoute look, bold statement buttons, 70's high waisted pants, clinched in waist using sash's, chic trench coats, glitter, embellishment and studs, masculine style trends i.e sharp shoulder pads etc...The list goes on
