The fashion A-Z: 'A'

To start of the new fashion a-z, we will be starting at the top with the letter A! So what does A stand for?

A is for All Saints


As a personal grunge and rock chick, I love All Saints- the range and style is just so unique and rocky! Here are some of my favorite items...



Silk Parachute Long DressThis dress is perfect for any night out with the girls, the lenghth makes sure that the dress code wont ruin your evening, as it is not too casual nor too formal. Simply team with some gladiator heals or lace up boots depending on your desired effect. Though don't get too attached to this item, as it is pretty expensive and will take a while to save up for- so this should be a buy that you will wear continuously and one that you are sure about! Okay, so you want to know how much it is? £395.00. I know, I know, dig deep for this dress! It is best to go to get this at the sales for a more decent price, for example right now there is a 50% sale on!
Lopezia BraNow this crop is more of a decent price- in the sales it is £30.00, so if you are hot on this top, get down to the shop now! Although this is more of a summer item, it can be worn greatly when your inside for the majority of your night! A good way to tone it down aswell as glam it up, is to simply team with high waist jeans, and even a leather jacket for an even more modest appearence as well as being a fashionable biker chick!
Raven Dark Anais TopI <3 this tee, though I have to admit that, at first, it kinda freaked me out- mind you, it is sooo smooth and comfy, yet it can always be glammed up for a trapes round the hopping centre! Team with: Leggings= laid back but fahionable, comfy too.  Tight skirt and belt= wow! someone is out to impress! Now for what you have been looking forward to- the price. £55.00, without any discounts or offers... well, I din't say that All Saints was a bargin store, and it is definately no Primark!

Autumn and Winter Fashion

 

Prints are at the hight of fashion this autumn. To get a more sophisticated look,  go for contrasting block colour animal prints. Darker tones such as black and grey look great with black skinny jeans and ankle boots




 Knitwear never gets out of fashion, but they keep on finding ways to update it. This azteck style cardigan is great for days out at the shops, and is ideal for the colder weather. Team with a vibrant blue scoop neck
 



Peter pan colars have been spotted on celbs at fashion shows, and now they are available everywhere! Although these dresses are traditionally worn with brouges, you can update the style with some high heels. Go for a toned down colour palette in evening but dont be afraid to go for bolder colours to suit your personality. Bobs look fab with this neckline.




Quilted jackets make anyoutfit instantainiously stylish. Not only do they look graet but they are super comfey too. Wear a basic tee or vest underneath to avoid looking frumpy and for ease of movement. Team with washed out jeans and checked accesories to create a Fearne Cotton kind of vibe.

Grunge or Glamour

Take the test to decide what style you are!

You are going out for a meal with your new bf, what do you wear?
a) a little dress or skirt and plenty of sparkles, dont forget the lippy!
b) some jeans and cute tee- make sure that the hair does the talking though!
c) Dress with a rocky vibe and messed up hair- over sized clothes is the key!

A day on the beach during the summer- what do you wear?

a) a bright bikinni and a sarong draped around your hips
b) a tankini and flip flops with shades
c) an understated bather with a matted cover up, don't forget the waterproff eyeliner

A day shopping with your mates, what do you wear?
a) high heels and a jump suit or mini skirt
b) a pair of comfy shoes and jeans
c) an oversized jumper teamed with legging and backcombed hair

An official buisness or school meeting, you know the drill....
a) straightened hair and neat make up, mascara and pink lipgloss
b) simple blouse and skirt, clean face with sensible heels or brouges
c) A messy bun and boy-friend blazer with biker boots and and thick socks
