AW14 Lust Haves: The Jumpsuit




Jumpsuits, they are a season must have, as the icy north wind takes a preparatory deep breath, ain't no body got time for an exposed midriff. Jumpsuits provide the perfect opportunity to keep it all sealed in. And if you are really smart, you can even wear leggings underneath (if no one knows, no one cares). You can dress them up for work or down for drinks, you can wear it casual with denim, or lux with silk. They are truly a season lust have and a winter saviour. Without further babble, I present to you a few of my favourite jumpsuits from all price ranges this season.





This jumpsuit is perfect for curvy girls. The exposed shoulders is flattering, whilst the girls get a chance to steal the show with this beautiful neckline. Meanwhile the legs look elongated with this flattering wide leg. Pair with ultra high heels for maximum effect.



Go from the office to the Christmas Party in one fabulois swoop with this festive knock em dead jumpsuit from Missguided. 







This scuba jumpsuit from Asos is form fitting, flattering and fantastic.
Pair with court shoes for a flattering end to the drain pipe cut.
With its plunging neckline, this look is great for a night out in the city.



An absolute 10 on all fronts here for this lace detail jumpsuit by Whistles. 
Sleek? Check
Special details? Check
Arms covered for additional warmth? Check.

I am sold.

Simplistic chic, with this minimal jumpsuit by Alice and Olivia. I love the criss cross detail at the back. Pair with some simple silver jewellery and a belt, to bring it to all kinds of levels of fabulois.



Go for the tux effect with this Gucci satin trimmed tuxedo jump suit. Perfect for hosting a dinner party.



It's business time with this gorgeous long sleeved wrap around jumpsuit by the business power house that is Dian Von Furtenburg.

#OOTD Stay Warm, Look Wonderful: Comfy Winter Cheats


Yesterday was a beautifully crisp Monday, after deciding that my cold had got all the rest time it deserved, I forced my self to venture outside. Obviously, seeing as I was barely fit for the land of the living, I wanted to be as comfortable (and warm) as possible, and so sought alternative ways to inject some glamour into my outfit.


The Look.
Embracing colour is a great way to look fabulous and stay warm.
Whilst colour popping is great, in order to keep it chic, it is essential to use complimenting colours in a subtle, non brash way. 

I decided to embrace the seasons trending colours by infusing my outfit with berry reds- beautiful yet understated, this colour can appear multiple times in your look without making you look overdone.
I opted for a berry coloured jumper I got from Zara, Loafers that I got from a second hand shop and a vintage fur hat that I got at a second hand shop. To tie it all in, I chose a berry coloured lipstick called Dare by Sleek. See how to get the look below.









Get the Look

Shoes:
Stroke of luck- whilst I did not get my shoes this year, or from Zara, it is amazing that Zara happen to have THE EXACT SAME ONES in stock now (lucky you) ! This season it is all about stylish flats- save your feet some trouble and go get yours!



Jumper
My jumper was from Zara last season, so here is an exciting alternative from ASOS. The collar is detachable. It really does not get more comfy than this



Jeans.

These jeans are so comfy and well fitting. Hollister is great for comfy denim, that keeps its shape. What is even better news, is that all their denim is on sale for £39. Stock up on yours now (I did!)



With fur, I only buy vintage or second hand as it is pointless getting new fur. If you would like a hat like this  it is best to buy from a vintage shop, as they have plenty great ones and it avoids more animals needlessly dying.

Lips.
What pulls it all together. Sleeks wonderful Dare lipstick. Available at SuperDrug or online:
Sleek Dare Lipstick £4.99

Get the Look, Celebrity inspired Fall/ Autumn what to wear.

I know its hard, but as the north wind grips round my neck as I write this, I think it is time to admit that Summer is over. So pack away your flip flops & brace yourself for the Celebrity best dressed, get the look fall edition. 

I love an A line skirt for that retro girl in the city breakfast at tiffany's feeling. It is just one of those staples a girl wont regret in her wardrobe. It can be teamed with a blouse for a look similar to Victoria Beckham here, or also goes well with a crop top.



Abigail Spencer wears my favourite colour of the season, mustard and pairs it expertly with a red lip.
Abigail's dress is from Michael Kors. I love Zaras cross over version with 3/4 length sleeves. The look can be dressed up with court shoes like Abigail, or dressed down for a chill laid back chic by wearing ankle boots like our lovely model here :)




Victoria Beckham puts together this effortlessly chic practical & warm street look. 



Shoes: Dune
Jeans: Net-a-Porter
Sunglasses: Raybans
Jacket: Zara
Olivia Wilde laid back look 





You can save or splurge to get this look.
Splurge: Jumpsuit Isabella Marant, £410 Net-a-porter, 
Nike's: Ebay
Save: Jumpsuit Asos
Shoes: DUNE
