Grunge glam is back and hot on the wish list of fashion forward thinkers this year!
Think statement skull enthused scarves, random length dresses and of course, to finish it all off a distressed leather jacket!
Team with back-combed locks and super high heels, grunge boots or socks and shoes.
Grunge has always been in and is therefore a great trend to invest in!
Make-up should be kept statement but not too girly. Forget pale pink lips and pastels, lose the tan and work dark smoky eyes. Cheeks should opt for a deeper blush and this can be blended in well in order to create subtle colour.
Lip shades should be maroon or deep red and those that are feeling daring can go for an even darker shade such as black.

Gone are the days when men would wear a suit every day, regardless of whether they were working. Today’s man likes his casual clothes, but still enjoys looking good. Fortunately, there is a vast selection of great clothes that are casual but not scruffy (unless you want that look) and will keep him looking as well as feeling great.
Men’s casual clothes can be broken into two categories – Denim and non-denim. That’s not to say there isn’t a lot of choice – there definitely is! Here are some key pieces to give you an idea what to go for:
Shoes
Carrying over from this summers’ preppy trend, boat shoes are still going strong for winter. Converse all star have the advantage that they go with anything and a pair of sturdy hiking boots are great for when the really cold and frosty weather starts and will ensure there are no nasty accidents.
Jeans
These are a staple of everyone’s wardrobe and are the most versatile items ever. For days when you have to be a little more clean-cut (or it’s freezing outside) a pair of blue jeans are perfect. Bootcut or straight leg are the most flattering on men.
Shirts/ Tees
Depending on personal taste, the casual shirt comes in many forms. Whether it’s cosy flannel or strokeable cotton, long or short sleeve there will be something that will suit everyone and every occasion. Add a fun touch with superhero or cartoon tees (you know you want to).
Hoodies
These can be used as a combination of sweater and jacket for the milder days or can be worn under a warm winter coat when the temperature really drops. Have a look at Joe Brown hoodies for a masculine style that you will love.
Coats
Military style is still going strong this winter and it’s a very flattering look. It will define those braod shoulder and flat stomach… or give you a little help in giving the illusion of them.

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

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!

Unique impressions is a new company on the cards that has introduced an innovation in jewellery design. The designers at the jewellery brand make each piece of jewellery incredibly unique to its owner. They do this by putting the owner’s signature stamp on the piece they have selected!
Children’s doodles can also be printed onto the metal and anyone of the pieces can be viewed online as well as markets or jewellery parties and baby boutiques. These little gems are certainly lasting memories that jewellery fans will love to share!
This is a great idea for a gift for a loved one as they are able to really make that piece solely unique to that individual. It could be a memory shared together or even an actual fingerprint.
Fingerprints, handprints and footprints from babies are small enough to be placed on the silver. This is a great idea for a baby shower gift and come in the shape of a dog tag-esq necklace.
Other things that can be printed on the jewellery include the likes of paw prints, & adults fingerprints. Both of these can be printed onto the the likes of cuffs, key rings, necklaces and any other piece of silver desired!
