HALFPIPE HEAVEN

We all went through phases growing up when we were trying to 'find ourselves'. Mine was copying and dressing the same as Avril Lavigne in her early skater girl days. Although at the time I didn't make the best fashion choices, it felt great to hop back on my old skateboard. Tartan is the height of fashion this autumn/winter season and is used in a number of different styles and garments. I love this top because it is very current while giving that tomboy edge. I never stick to one style as I dress to suit my mood. Some days I dress very tomboyish and grungy, then the next I dress cute and girly. I think it's great that we can express ourselves through clothes, as fashion is art after all.

WINTER WANTS

We can safely say that the cold winter weather has arrived here in England. With the news constantly predicting snow any day now, it's time that we stocked up on our winter accessories. We need to look after our health after all, so why not do that while looking fabulous! Here I have created a wishlist especially for this season, including the latest must-have scarfs, gloves and hats. Accessories are great to dress up any outfit whilst keeping us extra warm. You can try all of these items on in the shop at the drop of a hat (see what I did there) without having to queue for the fitting rooms. The great things about accessories is that we can easily mix and match them to make an outfit look completely different every time. If you would like to know where each garment is from and their prices, click the links below.

UNDER MY UMBRELLA

This trench coat is a great look while walking around the miserable weather. With the gloomy evenings, it's really hard to find a suitable place to shoot before it gets dark, hence we ended up wandering around in the rain; (completely unintentional) but actually  made an interesting shoot. The trench coat was designed by Burberry in the early 1900s, which has now become an iconic statement piece for the company. 100 years later, this style of coat is still a classic English look. This coat is ideal to throw      over any outfit, wear it with a chunky knit for a cosy winter look.

STREET VIEW

After strolling through the local town, we came across what we thought was a quiet road. It was just typical that when we started shooting, cars drove down the road every minute. This is a great casual look that keeps you warm throughout the winter months. The cardigan is easy to throw on if you are walking to the shops but still nice enough to wear when you are meeting up with your friends. I prefer to wear jeggings over jeans because I find them a lot more comfortable and I don't enjoy having my movement restricted (probably the dancer in me). Throw on a bag to complete the look, and by the way I don't what my feet are doing in the last photo!

CLIFFSIDE

As the cold weather has definitely hit England, it's time to get our winter coats out. This rainy drizzle is horrible and we're doing everything we can to be hiding away indoors. I love the fur-like collar on this coat which acts like a scarf. The belt also allows to show or create the illusion of an hour-glass figure which you can't always do with coats. A simple ankle boot can smarten up this look and for a more casual outfit, wear a ballet pump or plimsolls.
