My Christmas Wishlist

It's that time of year again! Letters to Santa are well under way and I thought I would share my wishlist with you.

Eyelet Jumper: Topshop// Rose Gold Disney Watch: ASOS// I Can and I Will Tee: Valfre// Patent Pointed Boots: New Look// Glass Terrarium: Etsy// Winter Scene Skirt: Topshop// Diamante Eye Pom Pom: New Look// Liquid Sarcasm Bag: Skinny Dip London//


This year I'm really digging a cosy knit, and when I saw this grunge-studded jumper in Topshop I fell in love. I'm not usually a fan of the store, but their stock has been particularly impressive lately, it's just a shame about their prices (wah). I'm being biased here but New Look's pieces are amazinggg at the moment and their pointed patent boots are bang on trend, not to mention their cute accessories- i'm loving their pom pom keyrings. For those sassy gifts, I included Valfre, a store that's always creating originally illustrated clothing and prints that exude feminism. Skinny Dip London also have cool and innovative designs, I'm definitely a fan of their 'liquid sarcasm' cross body bag. Disney's rose gold watch appeals to the inner child in me and i've always loved cacti and succulents so a cute place to keep them in would be awesome.

Galactic Glamour: Valentino's Space-Inspired Pre-Fall 15 Collection

As pre-fall collections go, Valentino has stunned, reaching new heights to create true galactic glamour. Under the genius of designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the collection felt crisp, but the varied prints maintained their chaotic charm.  

Shapely cosmic capes made way for constellation print midi skirts and intergalactic mini's are teamed with knee-high boots in a 70's style return to retro- very much in-keeping with the trend soon to grace the catwalk this coming season.

Oozing couture, Valentino's twinkling gowns boast elliptical galaxies on layers of thick tulle. Maxis flaunt macrocosms and with the label being known for their heavy embroidery and embellishments, this theme seemed to suit them perfectly. 

Adopting the earth's atmospheric hues of midnight blue and late night noire, the collection displayed the perfect mix of wearable style with couture touches. We salute you, Valentino.

Back to Black

Halter leotard: Buytshirtsonline// Bomber jacket: H&M // Trousers: River Island// Cleated Heels: La Moda

Slimming and highly versatile, leotards really are the go-to piece this season. Underneath printed bombers for a casual look, or haphazardly layered beneath jumpers, they provide endless styling options. I got this low slung American Apparel leotard from Buytshirtsonline and teamed it with ripped River Island jeans, a H&M bomber jacket and cappuccino-hued cleated heels

Micro-Trend this Autumn: Occult Chic

So let's get this straight. I LOVE HALLOWEEN.

So when I discovered the vampiric micro-trend coming this autumn, I got a little too excited looking for pieces I could buy. In all honesty, I am a little cray for the gothic side of fashion, but without the courage to ink my skin or dye my hair black, I have to settle for haunting accessories. Whether it's faux pas fangs or fake taxidermy, ditch those yawn-worthy pastels and embrace the occult sub-trend.
