Looking to A/W

With LFW nearly over its time to get back to the high street and focus on A/W Women's 2012


My lovely boyfriend suggested this post so here we go with the top 5 for A/W to keep you bang on trend...

Embellishment on collars, shoulders and all over is HUGE for A/W. Theres plenty of pearls, spikes, buttons, sparkles and studs to keep you entertained on the high street. Zara is doing this trend very well at the moment with embellished blouses starting from around £30. I love these because they are on trend and very versatile, chuck it on with jeans and flats for a casual look or team it with a tailored short for a night out!






There are plenty of feathers and fluff ready for A/W - We see the return of the fluffy fur gilet from last A/W, I'd say this is a key look and also very versatile to dress up or down an outfit. Topshop are selling a black faux fur one for around £55 but as the fur changes quality so does the price so expect to pay around £300 for a nice one on the high street!






Leather, Leather and Leather! This look is back! We saw a little of it last A/W with leather trousers but now its taken over! There are lots of cute little black leather mini skirts and shorts about, as well as lots of leather on sleeves whether thats on jackets, jumpers or tops. I love this as it adds a certain 'edge' to an outfit but is also easily dressed up or down! Faux leather tops and bottoms are on the high street for reasonable prices but if you're looking for the real deal make sure your wallet is ready!






Zip detailing is great, it just adds a little more to a piece. We are all still loving the zips at the bottom of trousers but now in A/W 2012 we are seeing diagonal zips in jackets and coats which I think is a great funky look! Jackets and coats this season are also getting multiple zip detailing down the front, on the cuffs and by the pockets!






Sheer - S/S 2012 we saw mixi dresses with a little skirt underneath and then a sheer bottom well this is still hot for A/W. Its been seen on the catwalks in jackets, and little shift dresses. I like that this is different for A/W and adds a winter sexiness to the simplest outfits!
