Clashing Collars




Contrasting collars will be everywhere this winter! The summer months seen us adding intricate details to our shirt collars. Metal tips and pearl details were everywhere. The A/ W catwalks have tweaked this trend slightly and ditched the sweet and delicate collars and relapsed them with bright, clashing designs! This trend is perfect for the winter months - do up your top button and wear a striking collar with confidence. 

ASOS do a stunning sheer blouse with a shocking orange collar. The contrasting colour and material combination gives a truly unique edge to the top. Rock this design with a pair of dark skinnies and sky scrapper heels to ensure all eyes are on you. For the edgy fashionistas - Miss Guided have created a checked shirt with a studded leather collar. The thick material will keep you warm in serious style! 

If your pay check wont allow you to buy a new winter wardrobe - H & M have a stunning collar necklace which you can add on to any of your current shirts. This collar will funk up anything from a jumper to a T'shirt - so get experimenting!

H & M - £14.99
ASOS - £138
Boohoo - £20
Miss Selfridge - £35
Miss Guided - £24.99

Baroque Brigade


The A/W catwalks have taken inspiration from the great queens of the 17th century. The baroque trend first exploded on the runway at Alexander Mcqueen and Balmain and not it's taking over the high street too.Think Downton Abbey but with plenty of swagger.

Dorothy Perkins have interpreted the style in a muted fashion and have given it a Gothic edge. This is the perfect collection if you prefer to keep your winter months dark and stylish.

Some stunning baroque finds can be found in the Topshop sale. The stunning hot pants featured below have a summery vibe due to the blue palate - wear on your holidays and flaunt your tanned legs in the last summer months. When the Autumn evenings draw in - team the shorts with black opaques and some black wedge ankle boots. Celebrities such as Rhianna and Holly Willoughby have been seen rocking the vintage inspired baroque sequinned dress below. This dress flatters all figures as the black background and skin tight design of the dress gives the illusion of a silhouette even Victoria Beckham would be proud of. The Topshop garment which has caused the stunning garment to sell out. The dress can still be found on Ebay with prices starting at £45.99 - not bad for a dress found in the wardrobes of TVs finest!

Miss Selfridge - £20
Dorothy Perkins - £10
