Create your own

Fashion is constantly emerging onto the runways and catwalk designers are never short of a few fashion forward thinking designs.

However if we were to buy every creation that we liked the look of, our bank managers would be chasing us out of the malls!

This is why planning and practice come into play!  It is easy to invest in a few expensive pieces and team them with other highstreet looks for an amazing ensemble, and one that looks as if it has stepped out of the pages of Vogue.

A good plan is to splurge on the essentials, things like a great coat and a great pair of boots for example.  Accessorise with less expensive tweaks.

A great coat can make a less expensive outfit feel like a million dollars just as a great pair of shoes can.  Try and make the thing that everyone is drawn to your over the top purchase.

Buy into things you know won’t go out of style in a second, these things can be used again next season or updated with other accessories.  Accessories such as belts, scarfs and hats are really sensible options as highstreet buys

Do’s and don’t for this year

A new season means a new change, which is exciting but also a great deal of stress as buying the must-have on-trend attire can be a make or break situation, especially when you have a budget to stick to!

This is why investing a few must-have essentials is key, think of pieces that are versatile and that can be worn with both trousers and skirts.  This could be a crisp white shirt, a key piece for an office wardrobe that can be worn both on duty with smarts or off duty with a pair of denim skinnies.

Another must have essential is a pair of statement shoes!  Kitten heels are in fact in this season and this is great news for those that often have to rush from the office to drinks with friends or a dining date!

High stilettos will not only make you feel uncomfortable after a day walking around the office, they will also make you feel like heading straight home to kick them off rather than out on the tiles!

This is why kitten heels are a must, they are smart enough to be worn to the office yet still dressy enough to wear out to cocktails.  They also won’t be as damaging on your feet, in fact kitten heels are proven to improve the way we stand!

Girl versus boy

Hey girl, hey boy!  That is the style contrast of today!  Choose from leather and layer-up no nonsense attire with sweats and tees or alternatively sweet evening fabrics with girlie details.  Some of winter’s biggest trends look great worn with super feminine additions and pretty heels.  Opt for soft hues and statement accessories such as Chanel style tweed jackets in pastel shades and chain and quilt embellished bags.

Revel in your inner tom boy and match tough tom boy tees with sharp tailoring and super masculine embellishments.  These could be in the shape of trendy metallic style trainers and high top sneakers.

A trend you may only associate with boyish style can in fact be worked into a girly look with clever detailing.  The military trend for example is cutesy when worked with floral detailing.  For example why not team a cotton floral dress with distressed leather boots and cashmere socks.

For a tomboy twist opt for a military style jumper, a pair of denim skinnies folded up and a statement belt, give the look a alternative twist with tiger skin or leopard print lace-up boots.

Festival fashion

Yes, once again it is festival season and that means all eye are on the celebs!  Katy B is one style star to watch this season and her highlight this year was showcasing alongside Magnetic Man.

When trying to pick a few outfits out for any up and coming festivals, remember you are in a field and English weather isn’t always the best!  Wellies are the ultimate go-to accessory when it comes to festival fashion and they simply go with everything!

Try working them with a cute statement dress, a pair of cut off denim hot pants or even skinny jeans!

Hats and shades are also a great look and not only protect you from the sun, they also look super cool and sophisticated.

So what are the summer do’s for this season when it comes before fashion?  Denim shorts, skirts, shirts, jackets, everything denim in fact goes this year and do certainly do the double denim look and team these ensembles together!

A parka jacket is also a great essential, as it will keep you warm when an unexpected shower decides to hit!  A bashed up distressed number is a great look for this season!  Over body bags are also a great bag to purchase as they don’t require too much looking after, meaning you don’t have to carry something too bulky in your hands at all time nor do you have to worry about all the contents going all over when you decide to get your groove on!
