Trend Alert!

Autumn/Winter 09


Here we are again, back in the cold dark days of winter. The short skirts and bold prints of summer are over and its time to crack out black tights and knitwear.

This year though, instead of being thrown into wintery despair i'm planning on celebrating with the return of some of my favourite fabrics to the catwalks. Sequins, feathers and lace are all very much in this winter as well as another of my favourites - the playsuit. Basically think about anything Florence Welch (of 'and the Machine' fame) has worn recently and you're there.



Topshop, one of the best high street trend indicators, has got alot of great lace/sequin/feather items this season as well as some faboosh knitwear. My favourite piece is this £50 little lovely from the Kate Moss for Topshop collection:

It's flattering and stylish as well as practical for winter, well done Kate!

Finally, I can't finish without mentioning florals. Once thought of a purely summer style, florals are very big this winter. My favourite is this £48 Yaya Nom de Plume vest available from Urban Outfitters:
One of the Outfitters newest designers, Yaya Nom de Plume has really hit the nail on the head with this using a zip to bring an on trend tougher edge to the otherwise soft and femine top. This will also transfer pretty nicely to Spring Summer '10 so definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Happy Shopping!
