THE LUXE BOOT

Can you believe we are now in September? This is my favourite season and I'm welcoming Autumn with open arms, not just because of fashion week but because I can finally unveil my winter knits, classic boots and chic layering.

I thought I'd kick off the start of Autumn Winter with a look I am soon to be sporting as soon as the temperatures start to drop-A knitted dress and pair of classic boots! This knitted midi dress is an amazing oatmeal colour and features a D ring belt, leaving no need to accessorise. (In the colder months I will be layering a long sleeves roll neck underneath and adding a large knitted scarf!)

UGG has a new slim silhouette-the Luxe boot. A tailored take on the iconic original, the new Luxe Collection offers sleek, streamlined silhouettes and sophisticated styling. The Classic Luxe styles are crafted from suede and lined with sheepskin keeping with the classic UGG style, but with small detailing such as the leather logo, smooth edges and metal zipper finished in antique bronze taking the design away from it's comfy association.

My chosen style is the Abree Short in "Bruno"click here to shop.

5 DAYS OF DENIM WITH DP

I was challenged by Dorothy Perkins to take part in a "Tale of Two Cities; Five Day Blogger Challenge" to style up the new Dorothy Perkins Denim collection showing how versatile denim is in a working wardrobe.

My first look of five is a double denim combo, but not how you'd usually wear it-I wanted to steer away from the typical denim shirt and skinnies combo so, I chose to go for an oversized white denim jacket paired with a 70's style button down aline skirt. The monochrome feel makes this outfit super practical for a day in the office but the oversized shapes, rolled up cuffs and button details still keep it cool and edgy.

Look out for my other 4 outfits landing this week!

What I'm Wearing; Dorothy Perkins Jacket, Shirt, Skirt and Heels. 

CHLOE LASER CUT MIDI DRESS

My favourite thing to do when I put my looks together is to make high street look expensive. I think the key to doing this well is to pick your pieces wisely. It is such a satisfying feeling when someone asks if your latest �12 Primark knit is new season Zadig & Volaire! I hope when you look at this Chicwish laser cut midi dress you instantly think "Chloe" but in fact we're talking a fraction of the price. (�43 if we are being exact.) This beautiful white dress features small cap sleeves, invisible popper fastenings and an intricate cut hem, all these small details make an item look expensive! (It is true to size and for anyone wondering I am wearing a size small.)  

Let's face it, I don't and simply cannot justify spending � on designer every day of the week, so if its a designer look on a high street budget you are after Chicwish will be your new favourite online retailer.

PREMIUM BOILED WOOL JACKET

 

If you think It's too early to be discussing Autumn Winter then I beg to differ, especially after this monsoon style rain we've experienced this week. When I look to purchase on trend items for the upcoming season I head straight to Topshop's "New In' page. With multiple products dropping daily it's not hard to see why Topshop is one of the biggest names on the high street. 

This Premium Boiled Wool Jacket is my first seasonal piece of the year and it's a great transitional item as it doubles up as a jacket as well as a cosy knit. (To give the outfit a different look try taking off the belt to turn the jacket into a jumper!) I've paired the jacket with these vintage wash Hayden Boyfriend Jeans and rolled up the hem to show off the uh-mazing cream Master Tortoiseshell Heel Boots which also come in Black, here.

What I'm Wearing: Topshop Jacket, Topshop Jeans and Topshop Boots

STYLING WHITE DENIM FLARES

It is not often you'll see me in a pair of white bottoms or even white jeans for that matter. I'm either; way too conscious I'm going to spill everything and anything down myself, or way too self conscious you can see everything and anything..

I thought it was about time I ditched my usual cropped flares I've been sporting of late, put down my  black denim skinnies and embraced the white flare! I find wearing something oversized like a belted kimono or something with a slight bit of length like a maxi cardigan really pulls the outfit together and makes it more "me"

What I'm Wearing: River Island Kimono, Missguided Flares, Public Desire Heels, Asos Sunglasses and Chanel Bag.

HOW TO MAKE A FASHION STATEMENT

Fashion Week is fast approaching and it's usually around this time I start to piece my outfits together. I'm all about making a statement which involves being prepared, investing in staples and nailing my trends. One of the first places I head to for statement pieces is H&M, this suedette trench coat being a prime example of why-They truly have hit the 70's nail on the head this season-with an array of real suede fringe jackets, premium quality handbags and great suede imitations. There is a piece for every budget!

I'm thinking of wearing with trench coat buttoned all the way up as a dress, tied at the waist with a pair of mid calf tortoiseshell heels for extra fashion cred. What do you think?

What I'm Wearing; H&M Faux Suede Coat.

MAXI BELL SLEEVE CARDIGAN

We're moving house next month so I'm well over-due a clear out, especially when it comes to my wardrobes. I've been having alittle sort through leaving a vacant spot ready for all the knitwear and cardigans I'm over-due to stock up on. This bell sleeve maxi cardigan is the first item ready to take pride of place in my knitwear collection It also comes in taupe, too. Just look at that sleeve!! I'm 5"3 so maxi is definitely the key word in that sentence, I'd suggest adding a heel if you are my height or short so that you don't drag the cardi on the floor all day.

The weather we are experiencing recently is giving me a hard time when it comes to dressing for the day. (Do I really need to be wearing layers and ankle boots In August?) So I thought photographing this outfit would give you some inspiration for the mornings you simply don't know what to wear.

What I'm Wearing: Missguided Cardigan, (Taupe colour here) Asos Jeans, Missguided T-Shirt, Daniel Footwear Boots, (Similar Here), Asos Scarf, Asos Belt, and Asos Sunglasses
