Top five short winter capes

By Andrea Petrou on December 19th, 2011

With the winter weather and party season in full swing, capes are a great alternative to that thick coat.

Given a push from the 20s and 30s into one of today’s must-haves these little warmers are great teamed up with a classic LBD, over a vest top worn with skinny jeans and also a cute pleated skirt.

Go all Strictly Come Dancing and pick sequins or feathers or give a nod to the equestrian look with checks and sheepskin.

Below are our top five cape must haves.

Top five metallic dresses for the Christmas party season

By Andrea Petrou on December 7th, 2011

As we pointed out in our last post, metallics were hot on the AW 2011 catwalks. Balmain bought us the blazer, while Stella McCartney showed metallic pieces in sporty silhouettes, which is great news for the ladies who aren’t as girly as some.

And of course the highstreet is packed full of these sparkly lovelies, which brighten up any style, just in time for the Christmas party season.

Go for a simple tunic dress for a casual work party or go all out with a fierce bodycon number. If you’re not too keen on showing off those pins then there’s also a great range of metallic tees, which look great teamed up with shinny jeans.

See our top five picks in the gallery below.

Trend Alert: Hat Styles for AW 2011

By Andrea Petrou on November 29th, 2011

Hats are always a must have during these cold winter months but like every garment, these change depending on the trends.

Therefore that wooly hat you had last year may not just cut it. Thankfully we have been keeping our beady little fashion eyes on what’s hot in the hat world this season to ensure you get your look just right, and it’s great news for those mad about these head warmers because there’s a huge amount of styles to choose from.

Take the lead from Burberry and go for a faux fur animal print beret or go right back to 80s ghetto chic with a baseball cap as seen on the Miu Miu catwalk. Give a nod to the military look with a soldier style hat as seen at Moschino or play it cool with a fedora as spotted at D&G and Tommy Hilfiger.

See the gallery below for some designer inspiration.

Top five metallic make up must haves for AW 2011

By Andrea Petrou on October 31st, 2011

As we told you earlier this morning, metallic is a hot trend this season.

A favourite on the Chanel and Fendi catwalks and taken up by the likes of Cheryl Cole and Rihanna, this look will be a key style for the Christmas season.

One thing we heart about the trend is its versatility. Dress up eyes with smokey metallic eyeshadow or go for metallic cheeks or lips.

Here’s our top five must haves for the autumn/Winter season.

Halloween Costume ideas: Top five skull jewellery pieces

By Andrea Petrou on October 26th, 2011

Halloween is almost upon us and we can’t wait. However, you don’t have to save your scary style until that party.

Instead we heart the idea of giving a subtle nod to the eerie evening a little bit beforehand with jewellery.

There’s a huge range of skull necklaces, rings and earrings out there at the moment, which can be worn to either complete that Halloween outfit or with a casual pair of jeans and smart top in the lead up to the night.

Go for a subtle skull necklace or bling it up with a diamante ring. Whatever you choose you’ll be scarily on-trend.

See the gallerybelow for our top five.

Top Five knee high boots for AW 2011

By Andrea Petrou on October 20th, 2011

It’s good news for fans of the knee high boot, with this trend walking right back in for this season.

Gone are the over-the-knee boots with their shorter cousins being paraded by Prada, YSL and Jaeger on the AW 2011 catwalks.

Give a nod to the 60s and wear a pair with a mini skirt or go for a more daytime 40s look and team them up with a midi skirt. For those who want to keep it casual, the over skinny jeans, or with a long knitted sweater looks are also hot.

Buy a pair now and step right into style. Below are our top five. Just click on the links to buy.
