Wishlist // On the Twentieth Day of Christmas...

"Directional, exciting and diverse"... I'm crushin on ASOS and these rad printed leggings!

The tapestry trend is HUGE this A/W making these leggings the perfect cover up to beat the outside chill. And as if that wasnt enough their main feature colour is red... only the hottest shade of the festive season, set to be huge in the transition to summer too! I think they're modelled perfectly here - a chunky black knit and some platform boots are all you need to make a seriously cool outfit from these leggings. They're crazy enough to allow simplicity throughout the rest of your outfit. 

LFW's S/S14 collections were hugely influenced by Middle Eastern colour and print and in a way these kinda give off those vibes, I don't know if that's just me...? Plus when it gets warmer team them with flatform sandals and a loose cami for the perfect casual look!

I've had this skirt years, I think it was actually given to me by a friend! I haven't worn it in donkeys but with lipstick kisses making a début on the Giles SS14 catwalk at LWF I decided it was about time to give it an outing! The lip tint I'm wearing is a pretty perfect match too! I love it! 

My fluffy sweater and my cut out boots are fast becoming my Autumn faves. The sweater is so incredibly warm despite the short arms so I don't even have to wear a coat! I kinda hate coats...

LFW; Catwalk Collections.

London Fashion Week has been and gone in a manic blur of colour and print, and whilst the outfits were certainly a highlight, the grand unveiling of S/S14 collections were the reason for the flocking fashionistas to London's Somerset House. From sophisticated and stylish to cute and quirky, here's some looks from my favourite catwalk collections, and my new season fashion forecast fresh off the catwalks.

For the past couple of seasons pink has been HUGE and that isn't about to change just yet. When I say it's everywhere... I mean everywhere. Keep tight hold of all your candy coloured goodies 'cause you'll be needing them when the sun comes back!

Graphic prints seem to be a big thing this coming season, the zanier the better. Florals are an obvious choice for the summer months but make yours big this coming season. Plaid prints showed up on the catwalks but the trend is definitely diffusing after the A/W frenzy, though don't throw them away just yet... who knows what next winter will bring?

Oranges and yellows are set to be massive too, any shade and as bright as you like it! Blue hues are also going to be sticking around for just a tad longer.

As for the mediums... leather has finally departed the main stage giving way to flowing fabrics such as chiffon, lace and silk organza. 

Sadly we will all have to wave goodbye to our fur coats until next year but don't fear, lightweight bombers and the ever trusted blazer will save you from those late night summer chills.

Flats are massive on the catwalks at the moment and I personally was elated to spot models strutting in their jelly sandals... yay!
