The It List : Oversized Poncho Scarves, Mustard, Luca Michelle & Utter Couture

The scarf that launched a thousand shopping trips. I am sure you have seen it, thanks to Burberry poncho scarves are not just for grandma,  and I couldn't be more pleased. It's about time fashion got more warm, comfortable and well, practical. See Burberrys full range here

So how to wear them and not look like granny? Pair with a autumn coloured sweater: think black, mauve or bottle green, Skinny wet look jeans, high boots and a statement wide brimmed hat like Olivia's below.

Mustard

I called this like 3 weeks ago, but it is time to make it official. Mustard is in! And I could not be more happy, its my favourite autumn hue. The perfect way to brighten up the season and pop your colour. 

How to wear it.

Like Lupita, Mustard works really well with a strong berry Autumn lipstick, it also plays nicely when framed with distressed leather (brown or black) and bottle green accessories . 

 Lupita pairs mustard with cool white, berry lips and bottle green for a A* look.

Mustard is great for those with cocoa skin tones (like Lupita), as well as those with red hair (like Olga) 

 Have a go and make it yours this season. See my favourite mustard pieces from this season below.

Utter Couture

I met the fantastic crew from Utter Couture on Thursday at the Serge DeNimes launch, and started talking to them because their unique personal style made them really stand out.  Once I learned that these stylish individuals ranan online  retail platform for new and emerging designers, I had to research more. 

What I found at www.uttercouture.com was impressive, fresh, unique statement urban street wear at prices that I can get on board with. Below are my lust haves from their online store. It is always good to support emerging designers (like they do), and to support young brilliant enterprisers- (like you can do) Check them out for yourself at www.uttercouture.com
