The weather has been pretty depressing of late and as it is time to wrap up, I wanted to wear some rather cool casual bits that I am practically living in!
New Era are normally known for their cool tee’s, snapbacks and for their awesome collaborations but now the brand have started branching out with more clothing and this coat is one of the most amazing pieces they have made so far. With a large neon framed ‘N’ and authentic green army print, this coat is so good for AW and it is warm, comfortable and perfect for wearing dressed up or down.
I have always worn Adidas and when I saw this zip up jacket from the Originals collection, I knew it was one statement item that I needed to wear for AW14. Available from Zalando, this jacket is great for laying and it’s print looks amazing with any casual outfit. I love the pieces Adidas are churned out at the moment and with the likes of Jeremy scott on board, the brand just keeps getting better and better.
Unless you aren’t in the fashion industry or have been away from shops and the internet, you must of heard about the H&M x Alexander Wang collaboration. As soon as I saw the images of the new collection, I knew I was in trouble. Instead of queuing up with the other mad people, I happily made my purchases online and luckily got this gorgeous WANG dress. I bought a Medium as I had no idea about sizing but I love it’s relaxed oversized style and the mesh insert looks great in the middle too. It’s a fabulous piece and would look gorgeous dressed up with heels and faux fur or casual like I am wearing here.
Superga produce some really attractive shoes and these print puppies from the brand are a real statement piece. With a pony print and faux fur texture, these are pretty special and I love how they look with jeans and even skirt and shorts. As well as these, Superga have loads of styles and colours and if Ponies aren’t your thing, the brand also has leopard print and cheetah spots too.
It’s always nice to collaborate with new brands and it was lovely to design a necklace with Mink and Stone. As a website based brand, you simply go onto their website (http://www.minkandstone.com), select the ‘Start designing’ button and create either a necklace or bracelet. With a wide range of beads to use, you can create pretty much any style you like and I designed the one I am wearing here. With my love of purple and pink I also used silver beads to make the necklace more chunky and went for a long neckline so I could muck around with the length and how I wear it. Mink and Stone is a brilliant idea for jewellery and a piece from them would make a really good present for someone, so why not have a go and let your creative juices have some fun?
