One of my favourite style pieces for Spring is the trench coat. Instantly recognizable, it's a timeless British classic that never goes out of style. For the transition between seasons that we're supposed to be experiencing at the moment, it's an ideal piece of outerwear - lightweight, breathable and so versatile. As I'm reaching for mine practically every day at the moment, I thought I'd put together a list of my favourites ways to wear the women's trench coat.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that's excited that Spring is well and truly here, now that the weather has brightened up and the evenings are so much lighter. Seeing as blue skies and sunshine are more of a regular occurrence, we can peel a few layers off and start leaving our faux fur-lined parkas at home when heading out. With summer days and holidays in mind, I've started to think about the style pieces I want to add to my wardrobe for the upcoming months and I've found a whole load of items I'm in love with. It's been a while since my last style wishlist, so I thought it was time I showed you what I'm currently coveting.
In January, the weather is miserable and we're in this weird limbo between the festive period and the start of spring/summer, so we all need a little pick-me-up. To brighten my mood and make myself feel a bit less like there's nothing to look forward to, I thought I'd do some online shopping. Here's what I'm currently eyeing-up!
Black Friday is finally here and, whether you love or loathe the chaos, there's an abundance of deals and amazing offers to take advantage of. If you don't fancy waiting hours in never-ending queues or fighting off some crazed bargain-hunters in stores, then why not snap up some steals from the comfort of your own home? One brand that's offering an amazing 25% off their entire range, is Bows Boutiques.
Bows Boutiques have an amazing selection of gorgeous coats, chic dresses and on-trend pieces that would make the perfect Christmas gift, either for a loved-one or as a treat to yourself. My favourite picks from their website are the Gianna Oversized Sweater* and the Ameera Padded Faux Fur Coat*.
The Gianna Oversized Sweater* is just perfect for this time of year, as it's thick and warm, yet still looks stylish. Although it's oversized and has batwing sleeves, the fit is surprisingly flattering and the choker-style neckline makes it a bit more special than your average knit. For the amazing price, I was really shocked at how good-quality the material is, as it feels really luxe and soft. Now I can't wait to pick it up in all the different colours on offer!
When it comes to coats, Bows Boutiques certainly don't do things by halves. They have a massive selection of fur-lined parkas, but I thought I'd choose the gorgeous Ameera Padded Faux Fur Coat*, as I didn't have anything similar in my wardrobe already. The padded design fits like a glove and hugs your curves when zipped up, which helps to accentuate your waist and give you some shape whilst you keep warm, rather than drowning your figure completely. And just look at that hood, it's amazing!
Have you got your eye on any Black Friday bargains?
I can't believe we're already half way through November and Christmas is so close! As it's my boyfriend's birthday month, he's being a scrooge and is stubborn about not letting us watch any Christmas films, listen to Christmas music, or even buy a packet of mince pies until his birthday has passed. So, to keep him happy and myself from stocking up on festive jumpers, decorations and sweet treats just yet, I've been doing a lot of window shopping and online browsing for winter threads that I'd love to add to my wardrobe.
Now that we're smack bang in the middle of Autumn and Halloween is almost upon us, I thought I'd share with you a selection of A/W boots that I recently picked up from EGO Shoes. Hoping to find a pair to go with my fancy dress costume this year, I browsed their Halloween collection and fell in love with, not one, but three styles. No matter which I finally decide on for the party, they're all so wearable and will continue to see me through the rest of the A/W seasons.
We may be experiencing the height of summer, but I have a confession to make. Last night, I put the heating on. Although the sun has been making an appearance every now and again, and the weather has verged on tropical for us in the UK, I've been feeling cold whenever it's been cloudy or miserable. As soon as September is in our sights, I immediately think of autumn, hence my eagerness to share the key pieces I'm lusting after for my summer to autumn, transitional wardrobe. Here are the picks that I have my eye on, at the moment.
Now that the sun is finally shining on a regular basis and Summer is in sight, I thought I'd give you the second part of my Summer Style Wishlist - the accessories I'm eager to get my hands on.
After an absolute scorcher of a weekend and finally booking a holiday for the end of June, I'm well and truly in summer mode. Forget black tights, coats, jumpers and umbrellas (for another 24 hours, at least), I've packed away all my winter staples and have been on the hunt for some new additions to my wardrobe.
Ah, Spring! Although we've had quite a miserable start to the month, I cannot wait for the blue skies to appear, sunshine to start shining and beautiful blossom to bloom. As soon as a new season is upon us, I get a little spendy, but recently I've had good reason to as my guy and I will be re-locating to Nottingham in a few months. As we only moved from our home of Liverpool to Yorkshire two years ago, I'm not really looking forward to another big upheaval so soon, especially as we've really settled here. But, that's life! Every cloud has a silver lining and I see ours as a chance to upgrade lots of our home interior pieces. I was recently introduced to the uber-cool brand Esprit by a friend and, after having a browse of their homeware, I soon discovered they had a gorgeous selection of clothing, too. My online bag is currently brimming with goodies, so I thought I'd share my favourite pieces from the website with you.
When it's frosty outside, all I want to do is snuggle up and do some online shopping from the comfort of my cosy duvet. Seeing as it's been so icy recently, I've been browsing the web a lot and here's what's on my current lust-list...
I love to shop all year round - I mean, who doesn't? For some reason though, I get most excited for hitting the stores and browsing online as we approach autumn. Layering up in varying textures and piling on as much black clothing as possible is totally my style, so being able to rock cosy jumpers, skinny jeans and heeled boots once again, just makes me so happy. Here's what I'm currently itching to get my hands on, to kit me out ready for A/W.
As soon as the seasons start to change, all I want to do is shop and update my wardrobe. Saying goodbye to darker colours and thicker materials, I've definitely started reaching for lighter shades and more prints now that the sun is out! I've got my eye on a few pieces that I can't wait to get my hands on, so thought I'd put together a little wish-list.
