ASOS FF Collaboration: Laundry Service - Naomi

'This post is number 1 of 5 in a special series we have done for Asos Fashion Finder on why the pink coat is most definitely this AW13's essential purchase by showing you how it can be worn with literally every other trend around this season'

We are loving the clean laundry bag checks that were seen on the Celine catwalk for AW13. The mix of clean checks with a oversized winter coat is a perfect look for the season and to look on trend easily. I couldn't ask for a better AW coat and i'm so thankful- the shape is oversized, the colour is bang on trend and it goes with everything! I was worried I would be restricted with a pastel pink coat but you will see over the next 5 posts that you really can wear it with everything and we definitely think this is the new black! 

My check pieces are both from LOVE and they are amazing! The checked little tshirt dress is a gorgeous shape and so easy to throw on and look amazing, I love the clashing check sleeveless jacket over the dress to really create the mash up Celine check look. The busy checks are complimented perfectly with the pastel pink coat and any fashion rules of pink and red together clearly go out the window! 

If your after a slick and premium way of wearing this seasons hottest piece then this ones for you!

This season, it's all about the pink coat. I struggled to choose between this beautiful Zara wool blend, double breasted number and the Topshop's furry Millie Coat but weighing up price, shape and wearability, this one just got first place :) 

Of course, it's not just pink coats - the more pink the better! Especially when worn as a tonal outfit. I had decided to add a bit of pattern in with the floral shirt and texture with the netting on the ballet dress to break up and give depth so this pink mixture! I finished with black accessories to grunge it down a little :)

Naomi's Week In Style

I am loving the winter pastels at the moment and especially where the weather has still been quite mild it's a great look for the transitional time with some wonderful pieces coming through on the high street! Of course me being the magpie that I am I have thrown in some metallic and shiny wonderfulness which I do hope you enjoy! 

1. Topshop Blue Fur Stole 

Drooling over this fur scarf, how stunning is the colour!!! It would look absolutely amazing with the silver metallic tee (number 3) I think it's a perfect update for your standard black or brown fur scarf. 

2. Topshop Boutique Floral Dress

This print is perfect for the winter florals trend and has been featured a lot on celebs and fashionistas alike at LFW! Amy and myself have a soft spot for Boutique and find the fit and material are always worth paying that little bit more for. A definite investment piece! 

3. Topshop Metallic Tee

This is quite an old piece but I think it will be great to team with a pastel midi skirt an give an edge to the AW pastel trends. Also I love metallic silver with coloured fur.. Heavenly!

4. Topshop Boutique Pink Dress

A perfect dress to throw on, look on trend and carry you through from day to night. Team with killer boots and statement jewellery to stand out from the crowd or pull of a tonal pink look by throwing on a pastel pink winter coat. 

5. Bill & Mar Marble Maxi

This dress is stunning and was recently spotted on Rita Ora! I love the print and colours and think it will look amazing with some statement jewellery. A great maxi for every season and a great buy.

6. Boohoo White Net Midi Skirt 

I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it and think it will be great teamed with knitwear and fur with some grungy boots for the whole pretty grunge look. As usual with Boohoo great product at great prices! 

7. Topshop Metallic Flats

A gorgeous update for your standard black or brown flats! Give a modern twist to any outfit and your feet will be the shiniest exclamation point of your outfit! Match accessories with a silver clutch and necklace! 

8. Zara Statement Necklace 

I love a statement necklace and have started collecting Zara's every season. This season has t disappointed with the necklaces and jewels bigger than ever! I thought this looked great with all the colours in the post and perfect for a tonal pink outfit to add a bit of bling. 

9. Zara Pink Coat

Everyone has gone nuts for pink coats and literally they have been flying off the high street! Everyone is doing there own version and my favourite is the classic Zara one. I think if your investing in a winter coat you should invest well and spend a bit more for the quality and warmth to ensure it will last you season after season and still look great. The style is classic and long which I think will look amazing over my winter outfits.

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.

In The Pink - Naomi

H&M Dress, Topshop Skirt, Topshop Sandals, Zara Clutch, Topshop Premium Necklace, Amys Sunglasses

After reading Vogues supplement 'The Catwalk Edit' this week I have been desperate to try out some of the new A/W trends in a transitional way! The trend that I am enjoying is the all pink tonal look named 'A Rose Bouquet' and is described:

'From the palest pinks to dusky damask hues designers drenched the collections in a warm rosy glow. An overtly feminine flattering palette, head to toe rose tones offer a beautiful spin on autumns pre-

eminent trend: the new womanly allure'

Wear pink slinky shapes and sillhoutes to look on trend over the next few months and get ready for pink coats and jackets to take over this winter! It looks pretty and fresh and almost like we are heading into spring rather than A/W which makes a nice change to the dark and gloomy wintery trends. 

A softer more feminine take on earlier trend of the year 'All White Dressing' which often was more of a tailored, premium and more masculine outcome. All pink is still premium but with a girly softer edge to it. Pastel pinks are are not everyones cup of tea, I usually steer clear of the girly pastel colours but when worn right and in a tonal way the outcome is stunning and right up my street for A/W- I just need to buy more pink items now!

I wanted my look to be summery and premium- I pulled all my pink items out of my wardrobe to see if I could make it work! The dress is old H&M and I tucked it into my skirt. I love the feminine shape of the top section with the cross over and shoulder ruching. The skirt which is making a huge come back for next season especially this full skirt which is from Topshop. I find the style of these skirts extremely flattering and easy to wear! The two pink items work well together, they are nearly the same shades but just different textures which adds interest. I accessorised this look with silver- a chunky silver premium necklace, skinny black belt and holographic clutch which I absolutely LOVE! Amy's pink sunglasses worked well for the glorious weather and the barely there sandals added to the premium feel.

Are you digging pink for A/W? Lets hope the saying 'Pink makes the boys blink' does us all a favour next season!
