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...

This 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!

Now 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!

I <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.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes: What more do you want!?

Theses shoes go with almost every outfit and style in your closet, so although theyh are a little pricey, they are worth the money.

 Say goodbye to flat brouges and say hello to brouge lace ups! These boots will keep your toes warm in the winter months and look super stylish too- and so much easier to walk in than heels! Pair with some skinny jeans and a fur or suade jacket to match the shoes. Leave the hair loose and go for a more laid back look where makeup and accesories are concerned.

Try these truffle brown cowboy styled boots to slip on when your in a hurry. Since the boot is quite high to the ankle, wear with some black leggins and thick socks that arn't visible above the ankle. A long jumper makes the look complete.

I thought that I had better feature at least one bargain to get a hold of- this immitation knitted ugg with go with pretty much any every day winter outfits, although they can withstand usual battering- they will be ruined in the snow! Use for mooching round the house, trips down to the cafe and shopping trips to the metro centre! Wear a bat wing top in a bright colour if you want to be bold.
