5 STYLISH ESSENTIALS FOR THE AUTUMN/WINTER SEASON

1. THE STATEMENT COAT, ZARA

HOLIDAY EDIT - MONOCHROME IN MOROCCO

WEDDING APPROPRIATE: THE ASOS OFF THE SHOULDER WRAP MIDI DRESS

With it currently being London Fashion Week, I have been a tad busy running across the city trying to catch and capture as many shows as possible to share with you guys. I know the blog posts have slowed down a little but not to worry I will have a ton of blog posts up very soon share some of the many shows that I've attended. Hopefully my photography skills are up to scratch so are able to enjoy the viewing the various collections.

p.s. That me up there on day two of London Fashion Week in the golden square.

LUXE METALLIC GOLD JEWELLERY TATTOOS

Let me first say that this is my first time trying out the temporary metallic jewellery tattoos and I have been incredibly impressed with the end results. The application of the temporary metallic tattoos was simply and very straight forward. All I had to do was to first cut out the design I wanted to apply to my body, firmly press the cutout on my body and the dab a wet towel over it for a few seconds and then it was complete. The temporary metallic tattoos are very much like the temporary tattoos you had and played around with when you were younger only more fashionable now.

THE FRINGE SKIRT FOR FASHION WEEK?

NYFW- MORE SS16 HIGHLIGHTS

CAROLINA HERRERA

Sheer panels and textures where the highlights from Caronlina Herrara's SS16 collection at NYFW. There were hues of pink all round along with a few 3D pieces. My favourite piece from the collection has to be the first look featured in this post. You can count on the translucent sheer dress like trench coat being a popular trend for the SS16 season. I have to say that the Carolina Herrera SS16 collection is one of my favourites so far from NYFW.

ASOS PROMISIES LACE UP POINTED HIGH HEELS, £42

The lace up trend just won't let up and I for one can not get enough of them. The promises lace up from ASOS would be perfect to complete your look whether it be, you're going for the laid back t-shirt and baggy jeans look or something a bit more feminine like a slinky dress. I also love the dusky pink shade and the textile finish, it could almost be mistaken for a designer piece but the price tag sure isn't!

NYFW - SS16 HIGHLIGHTS

HERVE LEGER

The fitted dresses are still very much prevalent in Hervé Léger's designs although there's a slight twist to his designs for the SS16 season. There has been a huge focus on embellishments and intricate embroidery across his designs. The skater style dress appeared to feature a great deal in his SS16 collection at NYFW. The colour palette for Hervé Léger consisted mainly of powder blue, rose pink shades and ivory and black.

BLOGGERS FESTIVAL 2015

I was lucky enough to have attended the Bloggers Festival over the past weekend which was held at the Conrad London St. James' hotel by the lovely Scarlet Dixon of ScarletLondon.com. Given that it was my first bloggers event, I was incredibly impressed by how well put together the event was. It was the perfect opportunity for bloggers like myself to mix with some of the brands within the fashion, beauty and lifestyle industry and also mingle with like minded bloggers.

Upon entering the hotel, I was directed to the point of registration and handed a very handy booklet detailing the brands on site along with a floor plan to make it easier for me to spot them. Although I have to say, it was pretty easy to spot the different brands as they each had beautifully decorated stalls and tables displaying their carefully arrange products or services they had to offer. I have covered a few of my favourites from the event below and not to say the numerous freebies and samples that I received.
