Pink Lady - Amy

Topshop Jewel Necklace Jumper, Topshop Cat Print Chiffon Shirt, Topshop Polka Dot Midi Dress, Primark Cat's Eye Sunglasses, Boohoo Patent Clutch, Topshop Aubrey Cut Out Boots










Believe it or not, there are some days I wake up and I want to dress like a really girly, girl - pastels, pinks, midi dresses, fitted knits and Topshop's lady-like trend this Autumn is Margot's World, and even though I'm not quite sure who Margot is, I like her. This trend was seen so much on the catwalk by the likes of Topshop Unique and Miu Miu, I'm so glad so much has been replicated into the high street.

The most memorable pieces from the Miu Miu show were of course the pink polka dots so I decided to start planning my outfit around this gorgeous Topshop midi dress that was a hand me down from no other than my other shoe, Naomi. The length of this is perfectly flattering and the large polkda dots give the outfit that really 50's Lady-like flavour. It's been a while since I've done a really good pattern clash so I thought it was time to bring out this cat motif shirt. There is always an aspect of feminine glamour when our little feline friends are used well in items and I felt the colour, fabric and design of this shirt went perfectly for the look. I finished off with a pastel pink again, (this season's in colour!), soft knit jumper with an embellished necklace to add real glitz to the whole outfit.

You can't do 50's inspired style without a pair of cat's eye glasses so I went for these rather than my traditional circular lenses, but finished the outfit off with black accessories with gold detailing.

Sweet Nothing AW13 Lookbook - Amy

Look 1 - Vintage Liquorice Allsorts Hand Knitted Jumper via Ebay, Marks and Spencer's White Shirt, H&M Striped Bodycon Dress, Primark Circular Sunglasses, Boohoo Patent Clutch, Primark Socks, Topshop Anchor Cut Out Boots

Look 2 - Topshop Jazzies Jumper, Holographic Skirt c/o Choies, Boohoo Off White Blazer, H&M Sunglasses, Zara Holographic Clutch, Topshop Gilmore Shoes
















If there is anything I like more than an overly sugary sweet treat, it's novelty knitwear - so imagine my excitement when I saw that 2 key sources to my daily happiness had combined into a fashion trend. Classic sweets are appearing in print form all over the high street at the moment as a fun take on the sickly sweet, candy colour palettes we are seeing this autumn. I'm all up for a bit of fun but I have decided to show you how you can slick back this trend so it comes across as quirky rather than kiddy. 

Look 1 - I have been desperate to share my pride and joy with you ever since the retro sweet craze started to appear but what with all the heat waves I felt it was a little inappropriate until September. This is arguably one of my favourite jumpers ever (I have so many) and I will always manage to wangle it into a trend as for me and my style, this is a wardrobe staple. Inspiration for the other pieces in this outfit have come from the sweets themselves but I didn't want the look to be too colour crazy so went with black and white stripes for a bottom half with the bodycon complimenting the oversized, grungey style jumper. I then played up the pops of colour using accessories like my clutch and socks and smartened up the look with a pointy white collar, clean and fresh sunglasses and a heeled boot.

Look 2 - As the latest addition to my knitwear collection, I cannot wait to see how many outfit combinations I can achieve with this beautiful jumper from Topshop. This piece is a lot thinner, but high quality wool, a very flattering and fitted shape and the Jazzies themselves are created using tiny little metallic gems to create quite a glamorous and feminine feel, quite different from the centre piece from Look 1. As holographic materials are so big right now, I really wanted to play up the metallic sheen from the Jazzies with this show-stopping, pencil skirt from Choies, clutch from Zara and caps on my pointed shoes. As all the shapes are incredibly clean in this outfit, I went for my slouchier Boohoo blazer to make the outfit feel more wearable and as it's white, it also let the jumper really stand out too.

Will you be picking (and mixing) to wear the sweet trend this season?

Some Kind Of Love - Amy

'Some Kind Of Love' Slogan Tee c/o Feather Hearts BUY HERE!, Topshop Sleeveless Check Shirt, Topshop Charcoal Midi Dress, Topshop Circular Lens Sunglasses, Boohoo Studded Clutch Bag, Topshop American Flag Socks, Topshop Aubrey Cut Out Boots









Even though the whole point of our blog is showing how we wear the same trends differently, I love it when me and Naomi are given the exact same item to play with to see what we do with it :) This slogan tee from Feather Hearts was certainly perfect for this challenge as it powerful enough to make a really show of but simple enough that we could both mould it to our own style to create our outfits :)

I have raved about how much I love a slogan tee and how much FH is definitely my go to place when I'm in need of a new one and quite frankly, nothing's changed. The boxy shape tee over bodycon a dresses has been my go-to/easy peasy/ no thought required outfit over the summer so I thought this would be the perfect way to show off the tee. I've tweaked it to transitional by wearing a thick jersey midi dress and a check shirt for an extra layer on top. No outfit of mine is complete without some form of colour coordinating sock and a cut out boot, and I matched the gold detailing on the boots to this amazing clutch from Boohoo to finish off the look.

LMFLMF - Amy

Dress c/o LMFLMF, Topshop Fuzzy Square Print Shirt, Primark PU Biker, Topshop Sunglasses, Primark Necklace, Topshop Avenger Boots









Love my figure, love my fashion is a wonderful new website that allows you to shop by shape so you find your perfect dress without that heartbreaking gamble of wether it's going to flatter you in all the right places or not. 

I have always been quite confident with my wardrobe and know on the hanger whether something is suitable for me or not but since becoming pregnant, I have a lot of other lumps and bump(s) to consider so LMFLMF has been wonderful at learning what's best for my larger boobies (yay) and wider hips (boo).

Because of this I did gamble on an hour glass suited dress as I have managed to keep a little waist above bump so thought something that emphasised this would be best and came across this gorgeous bird print. Even though the shape of the dress is like nothing I've ever worn before, I felt the print made it a lot more me so I could ease myself into such a new shape.

Despite the print being me and the fact the dress does emphasise all my good bits! I still felt it was very dressy compared to my usual style so grunged it up with a shirt underneath, leather jacket and chunky black boots. 

How confident are you at choosing pieces for your figure? Would you find LMFLMF as useful as I did?

Drop Beat Not Bombers - Amy

Topshop Fur Collar Bomber, Topshop Houndstooth Oversized Sweat, Topshop High Neck Crop, H&M Black Bodycon Dress, Topshop Circular Lens Sunglasses, Topshop April Chelsea Boots









Sometimes, it's nice to give those classic trends a really modern feel for that perfect fashion forward outfit and this season, it's all about bringing back the bomber jacket. There's the perfect one around for everyone, whether it's quilted, khaki or the revival of 90s orange lining. I was lucky enough to pick this bomber up in the toppers sale nearly 2 years ago and it still comes out every autumn. The little twist to this is obviously the fur collar which makes this version a lot more feminine than the classic bomber.

I've gone for a monochrome, 60s feel to dress up this quite causal jacket and keeping with the 'modern twist to a classic' theme, I have used my houndstooth Ovid sweat as the statement piece to this outfit. I kept the rest of the outfit as clean and simple as possible using black and white jersey (so not ton take away the textures in the bomber and sweat) and finished off with a simple Chelsea boot to keep the outfit quite casual, but not too casual.
