The Celine and Missoni SS14 collections saw a massive skate influence which has now started to filter down into the high street ready for Spring! Queen Cara being the muse for this trend and how to wear it - casual, cool and confident! 

The new Fenchurch tees from Bank fashion fitted this look perfectly with the bright coloured prints and motifs they worked perfectly with my black ripped jeans and a leather jacket. Skate is all about clever layering, casual sweats around your waist and checked shirts under oversized jackets will give that just thrown on kind of look you want to achieve. 

I layered my tshirt with checked shirt and leather jacket with my white fishnet top around the waist. Beanies are a must and so is a trusty backpack- mine and Amy's wardrobe essential! You can opt for a trainer or skate shoe but I felt my black cut out boots were more me with this look and they look great with my jeans! 

How is Cara influencing your wardrobe this spring- are you skated over by this SS14 trend?

One of our favourite movies Clueless has had a big influence on trends this season. You don't have to tell me twice to rock the check two piece and a classic beret. We have all seen Cher as a style inspiration ever since we were younger so naturally this look is second nature to us girls! 

The crisp white shirts, the knee high socks and the sexy college girl attire that we all long for. This post has been along time coming and we can thank new  vintage label 'The Loving Youth' for these amazing check wonderfulness! I'm always looking for vintage labels that remake items in a modern way or fit yet still keep the vintage feel and these guys do just that!  I know this is going to become a staple in my wardrobe and can't wait to rock it with fishnets and boots! 

For this look I went all out Cher- I did want to rock the knee high socks but as you know the weather has turned to full on winter! I teamed the two piece with a crisp white shirt underneath which I thought worked amazing for day wear and to smarten it up. I threw on my black fur stole, vintage inspired earrings and a clueless esq black beret for that ultimate Cher look. On my feet I wore a vintage boot and finished of with my trusty backpack! 

Are you totally Clueless this season? 

F&F Denim Style Challenge - Amy

Last week, TSOP were invited to take part in a denim challenge set by F&F for Tesco. Denim is such an essential part of any girls wardrobe but neither me or Naomi are dependent on jeans and much prefer relying on our staple denim pieces in the form of jackets and shirts which are equally as practical and versatile as the leg wear. We were given £75 between the two of us to put together outfits, which averaging at £37.50 is a more than affordable way of getting some basics into your wardrobe that can be dressed up or down, at all times of year.

This cropped denim jacket is flattering due to where it cuts in and it's darker shade of denim makes it perfect for autumn. I wanted to make the denim the centre of this outfit so stuck with monochrome for the rest of the main pieces with simple detailing of stripes, a roll neck collar and the PU strip down the side of the tube skirt. To brighten the outfit up though I accessorised using autumnal colours of mustard and burgundy - also keeping it look younger and more modern than if I'd used more classic shaped and coloured accessories.

How are you wearing your denim this Autumn?

Last week we were asked to take part in a competition for F&F Clothing At Tesco. We were given a £75 Voucher to buy some items each including a denim item. Denim is a staple piece in every girls wardrobe and for Amy and myself its all about denim jackets, shorts and shirts.

We love a good style challenge so were really excited to get on board with this and create some cool outfits. I went for a classic F&F dark denim shirt which is a core denim piece that goes with literally everything! Of course with my latest tartan obsession I fell in love with this cute little checked skirt also from F&F which I know I will be wearing lots over AW! It's bang on trend and will look great with a cropped jumper in a clueless 90s look! As you know we both are huge fans of our trusty black rucksacks so we ordered this F&F black rucksack which worked great with both of our outfits. 

I liked this look really clean and thought my checked grey cape from Warehouse worked perfectly clashing up the checks In the skirt and cape but in a subtle way. I liked the contrast of the denim shirt against the grey wool coat and love that the denim sleeves show! I felt like a black skinny belt and the rucksack were enough to accessorise this look especially with my killer Buckle boots from Topshop.

What do you think of my denim AW look and how will you be styling your denim pieces up for the season ahead? Be sure to visit Clothing At Tesco to get some fab denim pieces at great prices!

Double Trouble - Amy

Ok, we admit it - we have a tartan addiction. There is something about this print that has us both going crazy this AW and I thought I'd been bad the last few years! It's so wearable and on trend it's impossible not to find something in this cute and classic print, it just so happens we want it all! 

Inspired by the Punk move on from the This Is England trend, other than the tartan, I wanted my outfit to be focused around this amazing denim jacket. I love a good denim jacket, especially a vintage one, but I love the shearling versions around as a winter alternative. I was lucky enough to pick this up in Primark for a bargain £15 about 3 or 4 years ago! And it still comes out around this time every year :)

This must have skirt from topshop has flown out of stores - 6 of my gorgeous team have been styling it up in their own way proving just how versatile such a statement piece can be! At £22, this is the most perfectly affordable and easy way to jump on the tartan band wagon! 

Because one piece of tartan wasn't enough, I teamed the skirt with a tartan shirt and then finished off with this black gold beaded jumper to add to the more classy punk influence.

Drop Beats Not Bombers - Naomi

The bomber jacket is a style that always sticks around and comes back in a new updated fabric or print and this AW is no exception! Buy into a statement bomber that will be sure to last you more than one season. 

With the 'This Is England' dressing taking over the high street ready for next season- tartan print and bombers are key! Go for a black, khaki or tartan one to rock the trend and the good thing is they an be dressed up or down. Dress up with a crisp white shirt and dress down with a high waisted jean and boot. 

A black bomber is a staple piece and can instantly and that can instantly add that sporty cool feel to an outfit and make a change to your usual black leather. For this look I wore my boyfriends black bomber from Topman which is exactly the same as the Topshop one.. It may go missing from his wardrobe a lot this winter!  I really enjoyed this look as it's edgy, masculine and tailored with a really premium feel. 

I went for a crisp white shirt underneath my bomber and amazing tartan trousers, I added a checked shirt round my waist. Accessorising with my black rucksack and clean rayban sunnies a simple look all about the tailoring, shape and of course tartan!
