Red Alert - Amy

Red 'Lena' Coat c/o Missguided, H&M Fur T-shirt, H&M Black Roll Neck, Motel Rocks High Waisted Tartan Shorts, Ray Ban Wayfarers, Black Boots c/o Missguided















As a self-confessed Starbucks addict, it fills me with great pleasure that the Red Cups are finally back. It's amazing that a paper cup fills me with as much excitement as the Coca Cola advert did when I was a child but any sign that Christmas is coming is good enough for me, just even better when it means Gingerbread Lattes.

As homage to our caffiene addiction, we wanted to do some playful, red tonal outfits to make what is quite the occassion in our calendar. The chill is really starting to set in so this was the perfect excuse to take my amazing new coat out for a spin. The statement red gives off that real wintery (chistmassy, cough) feel and the soft fluffy texture adds to the warm fuzzy feeling any coat should give you!

Something I love nearly as much as coffee is this faux fur tee from H&M. Layered over a roll neck and high waisted shorts creates interesting juxtaposition and is pretty snug too. All black accessories toughen up the candy cane coloured look for a more wearable, every day outfit.

Boohoo Boutique AW14 - Amy

Black Blazer c/o Boohoo, Boutique Paisley Jumpsuit c/o Boohoo, Ray Ban Clubmasters, Asos Fur Stole, Grey Roll Clutch c/o Boohoo, Black Sandals c/o Boohoo









Having seen, and completely fallen for Boohoo's latest Boutique collection at their AW14 Press Day back in the summer, we have been impatiently waiting to get our hands on our favourite pieces and huzzah! the day is finally here! The collection itself is the perfect blend of boho and tailored and is the perfect way to go from Autumn into Christmas Party mode with sequins, silk and fur bombers a plenty.

I absolutely love all the paisley pieces in this collection and this tailored jumpsuit literally, jumped out at my straight away - the muted colours make this statement print so easy to wear and this would equally as good with an oversized grungy jumper and heeled boots for a more relaxed look. I decided to dress it up (or as dressed up as I go really!) by adding a simple blazer and sandal combo and finished off with a statement fur.

What do you think of the Boohoo Boutique collection?

Monthly Must Haves (September) - Amy


With September comes the official start of Autumn and this has definitely come across in my new wardrobe additions this month! ..but there is one particular thing I just cannot resist at the moment - fur. I cannot get enough of it in whatever shape or form it make take but at least I know this season is going to be a snuggly one!

Unreal Fur Faux Fur Coat
You may have seen here that I have finally found the perfect 'everyday' fur coat (thanks Dotty P!) but that doesn't mean I am not on the hunt for the perfect 'evening' fur coat too and this with it's collar blocked collar is just tooo lovely

Asos Embellished Socks
I have always been a bit of a sock person so it's no wonder the magpie in me has got there beady little eyes on these embellished babies

Next High Neck Jumper
Next's Xmas Collection launched this week and there are certainly some treats to be had! Absolutely loving this grey jumper which could be thrown on with black jeans or tucked into a pleather skirt for whatever the occassion

Topshop Fur Clutch
It was obvious when these previewed back in August that they would be an AW must have so it's no surprise these sold out quick after being sported by every celeb/blogger under the sun at LFW. Definitely worth the hype though and so happy I managed to pick up a pink one before they all went! Watch this space for a post

Topshop Plimsolls
My shoe of the summer has had a makeover for AW. I just can't get over how comfy AND cool slip ons are - what's not to love?!

Topshop White Fur Hem Dress
The. Perfect. Dress.

Topshop Fur Mini Skirt
This just goes to show I am stopping at nothing when it comes to fur this season! I'd have bought fur trainers too given half the chance. I love feeling and looking a little more luxe around winter and fur updates the simplest items to become just that

Asos Leather Boots
We all need new boots for AW! I've never really steered away from black boots but this is the year to step away from comfort zones and this may be how I do that

Asos Fur Scarf
Fantasy fur is at the top of my furry wishlists at the moment and after seeing the beautiful Megan in this at LFW I knew I had to have it! Definitely my favourite piece of the month/year/ever

Femme Fatale - Amy

Primark PU Biker Jacket, Topshop Oversized Grey Check Shirt, Topshop Boutique Jersey Dress, Primark Lace Cami, Primark Pink Fur Stole, Primark Jewel Necklace, Topshop Heart Patterned Tights, Topshop April Chelsea Boot










It was amazing to shoot with Naomi again! I was obviously a little over excited as I haven't had this many elements to an outfit in so long. 

Topshop have launched new trend 'Chateau Femme' and this outfit was based on the key pieces for this :) I am obsessed with this Topshop Boutique Jersey Dress at the moment! I've actually worn it backwards to make the most of the wrap over detail and its the pyjama influences from the trend that meant the silk and lace cami was perfect to go underneath. 

For a dressed up look with overly girly touches, I went for a light pink fur stole, jewel necklace and heart design tights but to tone it down into more of a day outfit, I went for a neutral coloured check shirt, leather jacket and flat black boots :)

Birds Of A Feather - Amy

Boohoo Black Wide Rim Hat, New Look Fur Gilet, Topshop Pale Pink Feather T-Shirt, Topshop High Neck Paisley Lace Dress, Topshop Ant Boots







This is why I love AW dressing so much better than SS - the colder it gets, the more eccentric we can go with layers and texture. The festive season always calls for fur, lace and all things sparkly but this season it's all about dressing it up for a more sophisticated take on the typical Christmas outfit. 

Feathers to me, are one of the easiest ways of doing this. Even though my feather detailing is a lot more subtle than Naomi's incredible, show-stopping cape, it's the delicate nature of feathers that turn even the simplest of t-shirts into classy, night time pieces 

I layered this over a black lace dress for totally contrasting textures and colours and the high neck creates another more grown up element to the outfit. To really accentuate the lace sleeves, I chose a neutral coloured fur gilet - another statement yet contrasting texture. 

To finish, I went for a wide rim black hat, necklace that could also resemble feathers and buckled boots with gorgeous engraved detailed for extra feminine touches

Naomi's Week In Style



My week in style generally reflects what mood I am in the day I pick the items and what has influenced 
me and my life the past week and this week it's crazy texture and embellishment! I am writing this from
Sunny Gambia in Africa but never the less I am still stupidly excited because its winter and party season is fast upon us! There's nothing like fur, sequins and embellishments and lots of rich colours over AW and I want to sparkle everyday for the rest of the year! 

Don't forget girls fur and sparkle is how to make a statement for Christmas you will ooze in glamour and turn heads....

1. Nasty Gal Pastel Rainbow Fur Coat $450

OMG could you get anymore epic than this coat of dreams? Possibly the best thing I have ever seen since I graced this planet 23 years ago- expensive price but for a coat that would make you feel like a furry princess!

2. ASOS-  Virgos Lounge Sequin Maxi Skirt £129

I saw this in Look Magazine last week and fell in love! I usually start to look for my Christmas Day outfit around about now and this is definitely on the cards! With a simple top, some gorgeous sparkly jewellery and a big fur coat what a way to feel Christmassy! 

3. Nasty Gal Fink Platform Bootie $162 

Recently I have wanted to spice up my footwear and steer away from my standard black boot obsession so when I saw these on Nasty Gal I was definitely won over! They will look Mazing with sheer tights or a cute little sock or amazing with a statement trouser! Nasty Gal strikes again! 

4. ASOS Matching Jacket & Shorts £55 & £35

I love this gorgeous two piece! It's so easy to throw on and look unbelievably chic. The print reminds me of Alice in wonderland, I think you can dress this up or down to make a look that's magical!

5. Nasty Gal Sheepskin Clutch $40

Don't just stick to fur coats for AW, go for fur EVERYTHING! There's no such thing as too much texture so lets get #texturalsexual trending! 

6. Nasty Gal Leopard Blazer $129

I NEED THIS! I love it so much it's one of those jackets you can throw over a boring outfit of black jeans and a jersey and look unbelievably chic. It's in the accessories with this wear a black fedora and statement boot for the ultimate winter get up. 

7. H&M Fur Jacket £65

This is gorgeous, the colours and the unusual fur print make it a statement jacket that's hard to say no.  Throw on over a simple outfit for a perfect day look or over gold sequin or embellishment for that party vibe. 

8. ASOS Embellished Bralet £55

I tend to go out a lot more this side of the year with all the Christmas- doesn't everyone! So I am always looking for sparkly number that I can wear with my high waisted shorts and jeans. This is perfect to add a bit of sparkle to your wardrobe!

9. ASOS Sequin Skirt £35

This is so dreamy and perfect for the party season! Throw on with a killer pair of boots, rock tee and big fur for a look to make all the fashionistas swoon!

ASOS FF Collaboration: If You've Got It, Haunt It - Amy

'This post is number 5 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'

Sparkle And Fade Coat c/o Urban Outfitters, J W Anderson for Topshop Knitted Bat Jumper, Marks and Spencer's White Shirt, Topshop Black Tulle Ballerina Dress, Topshop Fur Bobble Beanie, H&M Black Fur Stole, Topshop Avenger Boots 










Any 'holiday' is an excuse to dress up and just because its Halloween, it doesn't always just mean fancy dress! For our 5th and final look for Asos, we wanted to do something seasonal but also something fun so seeing as it was October, it made sense to get into the spirit of things (ahem)

For my centre piece, it had to be this iconic jumper by J W Anderson for Topshop. His ghoulish knitwear caused quite a stir last autumn selling faster than it took for them to even arrive instore! So it's good to see it can be revived every October :)

I wanted to keep the outfit monochrome like the jumper so went for a white, sharp collar and then went for the slightly witch, black ballerina dress with the tulle detailing for texture

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.

Naomi's Week In Style



Now is the time to be buying into those A/W key pieces, over the last week few weeks you can now really see the trends start to develop and the key pieces to come through! It may be tropical weather outside but this is the time to start creating your amazing A/W wardrobe and be one step ahead! WARNING: This features a lot of Topshop (the product it just to good!!)

1. Topshop Oriental Trouser

I love a printed trouser and when this came in earlier this week I knew it was a purchase! The gorgeous oriental style print with the rich green colour is really original and striking which also comes in a dress! I think there great to wear now but also great for winter with boots and knitwear! 

2. Boutique PVC Skirt 

Since the Topshop A/W Unique Show PVC is something everyone will be buying into next season! Whether it be jackets, skirts or bags Topshop have got it covered especially with this Boutique grey mini! Snap it up before it sells out! Would look perfect with opaque black tights a killer boot and oversize knit for winter! 

3. Zara Statement Necklace 

There is never a time where I don't want the whole Zara jewellery collection and the new collection never fails to amaze! What arguably Zara do best and for amazing prices... Statement necklaces! Is one is just stunning with its baroque and pearl design- a definite show stopper for next season! Wear with a shirt, jumper and statement trouser for a A/W ready outfit! 

4. Topshop Tulle Midi Dress

The simplicity of this dress yet the possibilities make this high up on my wantlist! Reminds me of the opening for Sex And The City where SJP wears the little pink tutu dress! For me I see it styled up with a chunky black boot, grungy tee or jumper over it and some fishnets! 

5. Zara Blazer & Skirt Co-ord

From the new collection this co-ord from Zara is super cute and perfect for next season! Throw on with jersey or knitwear underneath and focus on accessories! Amazing bag, boots and statement necklace! Such an easy outfit to look amazing and premium.

6. Topshop Premium Aztec Sequin Jacket

I'm like a magpie when it comes to sequins and sparkly things and I love colour so this jacket ticks all boxes for me! Quite an old piece but still perfect for the rest of summer and when it starts to get a bit cooler! It speaks for itself so I think a clean tailored outfit underneath with a nice clutch and heels would be a head turner! 

7. Topshop Gold Sunnies 

Stunning shape and really quirky these are fab for our blog posts! We are wearing sunnies on nearly every shoot at the moment as the weather has been so fab and I think they really finish of summer looks. We are always looking for new shapes and quirky designs and Topshop are always w,axing for that and there always good value at £16! 

8. Nasty Gal Flatforms 

Since JW Anderson for Topshop brought out similar last season I have been after some Flatforms! I love the simplicity yet modern twist on these and think for winter with socks and tights would look great and a different alternative to boots which I always wear! 

9. Topshop Fur Jacket 

The fur has started to hit down.... Can you believe it?? But I am so excited by big, crazy, over the top fur jackets so this pleased me a lot! In true Topshop style this is no exception with its thick fur and gorgeous rich colour it would look great with a printed dress underneath and boots! I think I'm going to need a new wardrobe for my fur jackets this year!
