I really like this boomerang leather studded curve belt by Nogoy. As you can see the front of the belt has an asymmetrical boomerang type shape which means it will sit on the side of the hip as opposed to straight on. I love detailing like this - it’s subtle but adds an edginess which is crucial to this season’s trends
This belt could be worn in so many different ways; add to a plain tee, skinnies and sky scrapper heels for a relaxed punk rock feel, or, throw over a patterned tea dress, tights, heels and chunky knit to toughen up a pretty outfit.

I love these tasselled T’s, they are so effortlessly chic! It is a great way to adopt the trend without paying too much money! The first silver T has a gorgeous fringed scoop neckline that would look great under a leather biker jacket.
The second is an oversized T that can be worn as a dress over thick black tights! You can add shape to the T by cinching in the waist with a must have black patent waist belt! The asymmetric fringe detailing on this T is really funky and fresh!
Buy your tassel T’s today from Topshop for £25 each!

As we know statement jewellery is big this season and with a bit of clever buying you can pick up a look which you can adapt to several key trends and outfits. One look that is really hot right now is stacking oversized bangles together on one arm.
The key ingredients when shopping for this look are to go for muted colours (such as black, pewter, white, gold, silver), a bright accent and sharp geometric shapes. For only £15 you can pick up this set of bangles from French Connection. All you then need to do is pick a few extra Perspex bangles and one in a bright accent colour such as turquoise or violet for example – cheap haunts like Claires are bound to have something and you’ve got the look.
Wear with relaxed jeans and a tee, use to dress up your little black dress, or, whatever you happen to fancy. Just remember when wearing statement jewellery just keep it to one part of the body. get yours from ASOS today.

I was just browsing the Topshop website, when I came across this very cute little dress! It is just a simple shift dress with a double layered bottom with a musical note print, what a great idea!
I really like the contrast of the black with the cream; it is really sharp and striking! This would look great with black accessories such as black patent platforms and an oversized patent clutch for the evening! I could also see it dressed down with leggings and a cute little black cardigan for daywear, the options are endless!
Buy yours today from Topshop for £75.

Tassels! I can’t get enough of them! I know they’re only going to be a five minute trend but I just can’t help myself!
The latest tasselled piece to enter my ‘must-have’ list is this fringed tasselled gilet! Isn’t it fab! This will make any outfit! Wear it with a bin liner you will still look ridiculously chic!
It is of course real leather so unfortunately it comes at a price; £250! This is slightly over what I wanted to spend but it is a very versatile piece; it can be worn in the day with skinny jeans and a simple rock chic T, or wear it in the evening to transform your LBD and look seriously on trend!

Wallis has never really been my cup of tea, I think it is more geared towards an older customer, however it seems like they’re trying to become more fashion forward with a new Limited Edition collection of 20 fashion pieces!
This collection includes pieces for office wear through to evening wear and is a huge improvement on their standard collection.
Their vision is: ‘A fusion of the seasons most directional and eye-catching trends comes together in an elegant and very wearable collection.
Here I have provided a brief example of what to expect, as you can see it is far more glamorous than usual and also very elegant. The black maxi dress is always a stunning look; this maxi is only £65 but will make you feel like a million dollars! The next look is a very glam stone, fur collared coat, it is very smart and would be great for work, costing £110. For something more fashion conscious, why not try this ¾ length military coat for £90. Last but not least is the Tuxedo jacket, great for day or night, this piece costs £75.
For more of the Limited Edition collection, check out Wallis online.

I think it’s such a shame when you see a meticulously dressed woman, top to toe in office chic, struggling along in her killer heels, wielding an unsightly cumbersome laptop bag hoisted over one shoulder. All zips and straps and cheap material knocking about! The killer heels become pointless, the whole look is ruined.
Well at long last, beginning to emerge in the shops are ladies laptop bags - slim line, chic and tasteful – arm candy for computers at last!
I love this one from ASOS by Fiorelli – the patent leather is so on-trend and the design is beautifully streamlined and understated, at just £65 I think it’s worth every penny.

Well taking into consideration that patterned fish net tights seem to be the in look for the autumn following the gothic punk trend, these printed skinny trousers may actually work!
They are in the style of the very cool must-have Les Chiffoniers leather leggings with the funky side zips that are causing a stir amongst A listers.
However be very careful if you buy these trousers as they could look a bit garish! I recommend wearing them with a chic black leather jacket and some platform heels! Buy yours today for £38 from Topshop online!

Last season was all about the canvas lace up and the ballet pump, and Autumn/Winter sees the two combined, to create the lace up leather pump. These shoes are great for winter - more sturdy and durable than a pump and the leather finish means they’re waterproof - so perfect for the inevitable rainy English winter.
Lace up pumps are slowly making their way into the shops, and if you want to snap up some straight away then Topshop have the best selection. For the truly daring there’s the Marigold Patent Lace Up Shoe in pink. This design seems to borrow more from tap shoes than anything else, with a low block heel and and rounded toe. If you’re after something a bit more subtle then you can also get the Marigold in a plain navy blue or black leather finish.
Costing £28, you can get them from the Topshop website now.
