Punk Princess


































Tick off two trends and invest in a tartan pencil skirt. The figure skimming skirt shows off your feminine curves without having to freeze your little legs off in a mini. The 90s are still a huge influence this season and featured heavily at LWF. An array of models and street stylers were spotted reviving the era by wandering around Somerset House in tartan, studs and leather. Punk icons such as the Sex Pistols, Debbie Harry and Courtney Love appear to have inspired the latest collections hitting the catwalks. Team your tartan with with a simple black vest. Embellish your outfit in as many gold chains and studs you can find. Don't be scared to pile on the bling; more is definitely more. To finish off the look, rough up your hair and slick on a pair of over sized shades. Not only will they give you a cool rock star vibe - they do a pretty good job of a late night or two...

Monochrome Mistress
































































Dressing between seasons can be tricky. The sun is beginning to peep out from behind the clouds but that chill in the air means it's still too cold for bare legs and mini shirts. Ditch the denim and dig out your old maxi skirt. The floor skimming garment had a massive fashion moment a couple seasons ago but has since slipped under the radar. The longer length skirt is perfect for keeping your legs warm without having to encase yourself in tight fitting jeans and leggings. The figure skimming design is much more flattering than a pencil skirt (especially after that lunchtime trip to Pizza Express) and the floaty finish gives the skirt a feminine feel; perfect for date night. 

If you're feeling brave - team yours with a long sleeved crop top. The splash of skin will keep the look youthful - and provides the perfect excuse to show off that toned midriff of yours! If you've been skipping the gym - pop on a cute cropped jumper that meets the waist band of your skirt. This will elongate your legs without the need to flash the flesh. Lavish your neck in helpings of gold chains and grab a boxy clutch to finish off the look.
