Super 7

1. 1970's sheer is oh so in, this is perfect as it covers up but still shows a little pink!
2. Golden tones, (well tell me when golden toned highlights aren't in) now you can show them off even more with that added st tropez tan (ugh). But don't worry pale people like me (albino) instead of all over we can accessorize and still be bang on!
 3. I like 3 it can be used in many ways a dress or a tunic, yes a tunic very in next season didn't you know. Wear over trousers though no jeans please we're doing chic not 90's.
4. Emerald. Well as you may have guessed i couldn't find an 'emerald' so i have used a tone of green. Looks great in either 60's or 40's looking dresses (another  hot trend).









5. Go full on 60's with polar neck knits and pale ghostly tights, a must next season.









 6. Polka dots. This 1970's maxi dress is spot on (ha)! Maxi is still on through the autumn so this ticks both boxes in the fashion world.









 7. Sequins shimmer, evening dress in the making, wear with killer court shoes and snakeskin clutch to get that guy in the office head over heels.








Thats why its my super 7 inspired from this years a/w collections, courtesy of That Indie Look!

Missieur

Boyish tailoring is high on the agenda today, as i look outside and already see the autumn weather coming, i decided that it wouldn't be such a bad thing to start one of autumn/winters top trends right now. With the 70's groove still flowing through to the autumn it's no surprise that the mannish tailoring still has the Annie Hall feel. Not only can 70's inspired unisex tailoring be found, there is also a little touch of 60's high collaring and double breasted jackets. With polka dots, retro golden tones and emerald being the hot prints and colours the choices and looks you can achieve are endless and divine, I've got to say I've always wanted to live in the late 60's early 70's and this autumn i will be able to!

These items are the perfect necessities for the boyish tailoring trend. The key is to mix up more feminism fabrics and textures and play with colour, (golden tones and emerald being the favorites!) and print. These jumpers are perfect, hitting on trend colours and they have the collar to match.

Scandinavian Bound...

In 8 whole days! Yep i'm off to Sweden to visit Anna, which i'm very excited about especially as she says she will cook me pancakes for breakfast with blueberries. Anna lives in the town of  Linkoping (and if Anna reads this i know its meant to have one of those 'o' with the dots on!), where i will eat sleep and breath Ikea, amazing! We are also walking the pristine streets of stockholm where we will have intelligent coffee chats every 5 seconds, with of course a much deserved gronola bar of course. 

Well in preparation for this wonderful trip ( which i'm actually quite nervous about as i have a fear when travelling on Aeroplanes, what heights i hear you cry, how ordinary but no not due to heights or any 'normal' fear, it's because i've a fear of people with travel sickness... thats all i'm going to say on that one.

Anyway i know it's not winter, well not winter where i am in this current time but for some of you it is so this may be of some interest to you? Last year Scandavian culture style hit us from every ice-angle (god i just can't help myself sometimes) which has rolled on to effect this year. So we can still walk around in our chunky nordic jumpers and still be nodded at with approval, not Uggs though, alright.




 1..2..3..4..5

I can only think of one word to describe these beautiful wooly creations and that is 'investment' they will take you through every winter you shall ever face, and lets face it can reindeers and snowflakes ever go out of fashion?!
