This time of year I get so excited for AW trends and planning for the season ahead. We found the latest ASOS Magazine so inspirational for AW15 trends and couldn't wait to get stuck in. One trend that stood out as a favourite was definitely the shade of the season ahead, brown! Seen everywhere with the latest 70s obsession and bits have started coming through thick and fast on the high street.

I picked up a few new bits from Zara which worked perfectly for the brown trend which were this amazing high neck top which is perfect for autumnal layering and this amazing striped pleated skirt, both Zara! I thought it looked great teamed with my favourite ASOS Suede jacket for that perfect retro 70s edge. Finishing of with a cute brown bag from Smashglam and my favourite Orla heels.

Wha' are you most excited about for AW15?

Nothing else says new season more than warming autumnal colour palettes and brown seems to be having a moment this year. Camels and tans still feature heavily on the high street but mixed with darker rusts and chestnut tones in thick textures like suedes and cords which are just perfect for exciting layering.

For this tonal outfit, I decided to pick one print and one texture to pull together to give each maximum impact in the outfit. This Topshop cord dress is spot on for transitioning weather/wardrobes working with t-shirts under, jumpers over or simply on it's own. With the cord as a base, I added my Orla roll neck underneath to add hints of other colours to break up the look. With a strong Orla vibe already occuring, I had to go with my one brown pair of shoes, my Bibi's, which work perfectly for an ultra feminine look which compliments the brownie colour palette

Will you brave the brown this season?

If there is one catwalk show that really stuck out for me in February, it was Topshop Unique and it is most definitely my biggest source for AW14 inspo. The textures and tonal dressing were bang on perfect and the colour palette was just so dreamy, I've been waiting for what feels like forever to mix the ideas into my own wardrobe.

As we are still in the last few weeks of summer, I kept this outfit quite transitional by wearing a pale yellow  coat over my thick knit (new favouriteee) and not the warmer mustardy tones we've been seeing pop up over the high street and have worn these bargainous open toe boots from Primari. I love how the textures in this look are quite clean but I can't wait to layer up this outfit with fur collars, patterned shirts and jazzy socks in the (much) colder months.

What are you favourite looks for autumn so far? I might be enjoying the clothes but I am definitely not enjoying the autumnal cold! We hope you're having a lovely bank holiday :)
