With bohemian vibes for SS15 dominating the high street details like embroidery and embellishment are fast becoming staples in our wardrobes whether it's on tops, dresses or accessories it's everywhere and I for one could not be happier!

I picked up this dress from Beyond Retro a few weeks ago and I absolutely love all the detail on it, I love floaty bohemian dresses and this is the one for me! I layered it with a green crochet waistcoat from favourites Glamorous for a spring ready look.

If your looking for this style head to Zara - its my favourite place to go at the moment for gorgeous folk blouses and detail that get me very excited!

With all the fringing and suede around at the moment, we seem to be forgetting one of the other key pieces to the 70's boho trend - the embroidered dress. These beautifully detailed summer staples are a great way yo carry the trend from the transitional stages of the season right through to the height of summer and beyond as they are super easy to layer up and down as needed. 

I fell in love with the chambray material of this dress and the elaborate stitching on the front, hem and cuffs are seriously show stopping. In the summer, this dress will be perfect with a little wasistcoat so none of that embroidery is lost but as the weather's still a little temperamental I wanted to wear something a bit heavier. The patchwork denim textures work perfectly with the chambray and add a slight urban feel to the folk style dress. I then added a vintage scarf to continue the 70's/tonal themes of the outfit.

And so we have been told that 'Red' is the colour of the season! I usually shy away from red unless it's in folk style prints and cute dresses so naturally when covering the colour my outfit is adapted to my style. Whether you go head to toe colour block or go for a statement jumper you can be as brave as you like with this trend.

Since buying this cute dress from Zara I am totally 'red over heels'. I love colour and actually the vibrant red hues work well against brunette hair! The red cups at Starbucks came out this week so this post is not just on trend but a serious dedication to our coffee addiction- who else is with us on this?!

I styled up the Zara dress with my Beyond Retro vintage cape of dreams! I could only dream to find something like this so I was over the moon when finding it at the brick lane store- I love the detailing and amazing buckles! It looked great over the dress for a folk esq look. Accessorised with my black fringed clutch, black hat and black lace up suede boots from Topshop.

Are you braving the scarlet tones this season?

So just as the summer decides to show up, in fashion world we're kind of over it because AW looks too exciting and with product also starting to hit high street stores (fluffy topshop crombies! LOVE) it's hard not to be tempted in early! The good thing about lots of these up and coming trends is that they can be very transitional and flexible to whatever weather we are being graced with from day to day

Here is my first go at what's definitely set to be my favourite trend this Autumn - Dark Craft. Gothic florals, embroidery, fringing, kimonos, witchy boots and tonnes of lace - right up my street. For a more summery look, just use these elements with creams and whites rather than blacks as there will be plenty of opportunity to play around with the darker side of this trend as the nights get longer. 

This jumper was a sale purchase about 2 years ago and is guaranteed to come back into fashion every year, it's one of the best staple yet statement pieces I've ever bought! It may be a knit but it is extremely thin so more than comfortable enough to wear in the summer on cloudier days, especially with a light blouse underneath like I have here, which I have purely worn for the collar detail which goes perfectly for the gothic feel without the black and compliments the jewellery

To inject some colour, I went for these amazing trousers that I got on Asos for £13, what a bargain! Again, a piece that are light enough to wear in summer with a tank or crop top yet will see me all the way through til October/November time - practically and fashionably. The florals add to a more summery twist in the outfit and I played this up even more by wearing the floral headband

What are you looking forward to this AW? And how will you squeeze it in with this high 20's weather?!
