Season Change

I'm on bed rest for the week, so I have  been catching up with lots of stuff! One thing that's got me thinking is next season. I KNOW,  I know, summer hasn't even arrived yet to Scotland and I'm thinking fall! Well, it's actually not a bad thing if your a thrifty shopper. It's sale time and since I'm not on my feet I'm online shopping. I'm  looking for crossover pieces that will take me into winter, but what does Winter fashion have it store for us?


For fall 2016 the 70s will cross over, so keep any dresses, skirts and trousers the will move effortlessly from summer to winter. Adding in tights, turtlenecks, fur and wide-brimmed hats to bring it up to date. Think bohemian, hippy, retro, folk, add in details like fringing, bold 70's prints. Layer up on those cold days with turtle necks, they are big for winter.



 The 'Mod' look is strong this fall which I'm super happy about, this is one of my favourite eras, I would say my legs are my best feature, so I'm always happy to get the pins out in a short skirt.  Black and white colour block will be in stores which lend itself to the mod look also. When switching up your style in the cold months from your bohemian winter look take yours must have turtle neck add in the micro mini and you have the perfect Mod outfit. Not a fan of the micro, then the midi and even floor length, look out for pleats and ruffles. Watch out for the new Carwash pleat hitting stores.



Fur is a big thing this year, which I'm very pleased about, Emma loves her fur! Fur stoles and fur cuffs (trying not to laugh) were found on the catwalks, pockets were enlarged in contrasting colour of fur and leather (I'm looking into different fur colours myself, I'm thinking of making a few wee accessories for my winter Popup). Feathers were also seen, from hems on trousers to full-on feather skirts and even working its way to he upper half! I'm big chested so will skip that, but I'm looking forward to seeing what fur minis are available to buy. Keep it simple and team it with a turtleneck, see, the turtleneck is a recurring theme this winter, so stock up on colours! If fur isn't your bag baby, then padding will keep you warm in the winter months and belted wool wrap coats will suit everyone and show off your curves.



High waists are here to stay, and on the pant front we are looking at tailored wide, flared and skinnies. Huzzah a look all shapes can rock this winter! Grey is a big colour this season, so look out for many tones to drop in the shops. I'm going to be keeping an eye out in the charity's shops for nice wools, and tweeds! Get looking now, before winter kicks in! Look out for oversized and masculine pieces while shopping. Culottes are moving into winter too so hold onto those more classic styles from summer.



Leather is big and if you have the figure to carry it off then get rocking those leather skinnies, failing that its leather anything! Yay! Skirt, dresses and coats and knee high and thigh is back, so dust your vintage classics from your wardrobe and start strutting! Autumnal colours are what you are looking for in leather and suede and that good old trusty classic black will always be a winner. I have my eyes on some thigh high maroon suede boots!! Eeeeeek! Must not get excited about winter!



Accessories this fall will see us rocking braces, sus-spend- dors to our American friends! Wide belts are back, which is great for achieving a fabulous waist and showing off those curves! Stock up tights too, all styles, perfect for adding to you micro mini! Ladylike jewellery and embellishment will be popping up everywhere.



It is an exciting season this Fall! I find sometimes certain body shapes are neglected, but there is something for everyone this year!



I took myself online and found Topshop, River Island, Zara, H&M and ASOS for some bargains that will take you into winter.  I want it ALL god damn it!!

Happy shopping.

Enough winter talk, where's that bloody sun...?
