I need to talk about the Valentino pre-fall collection. It really is out of this world (pardon the pun.) My favourite pieces from the collection, in which Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli collaborated with British textile designer Celia Birtwell and Italian Pop Artist Giosetta Fioroni, are the galactic garments which make the models look as if they have fallen from the milky way. The floor-length gowns are possibly the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. The star and planet embroidery is magical, I could gaze at the skirts forever, they seem as infinite as the real universe. As a lover of astrology I adore the constellation coat, it's like a map of the stars. The semi-transparent overlay on the dresses make them mystical and magical, shrouding the figure and portraying the magic of the stars. Finally, the solar system knee high boots are the coolest shoe I've ever seen. Their chunky heel and paint-like design make them stylish and sophisticated. This collection is a dream come true and the decoration, combined with fabric and shape make these pieces delicate, alluring and dazzling.

What is your favourite piece from the collection? Let me know in the comments.

Fanatic for Faux Fur

River Island Minx Faux Fur Tote
River Island Faux Fur Clutch

This season I have been addicted to faux fur. The sensation you feel when your run your hand across the soft, silky fur of a coat, scarf or bag is a feeling impossible to resist. My favourite high street faux fur bags have defiantly been from River Island. Their bags are gorgeous yet sophisticated, as 

sometimes, if you're not careful, faux fur can be tacky. The minx tote is perfect for everyday use and the black clutch ideal for evening wear. I also love to wear faux fur as it acts as a reminder to me that real fur is not necessary. Why do we need to kill animals for their fur if we have the technology to produce such good replicas? These bags are gorgeous and even more so because they are faux. 

What do you think about faux fur? Let me know in the comments.

Tumblr Outfit Inspiration 2.0

Another day, another amazing outfit I see on Tumblr. These all prove to be good sources of inspiration when I am putting together my own outfits. Even though I like to put my own twist on styles, many of the girls clothes I see on Tumblr spark ideas. So today I thought I would share with you my favourite Tumblr outfit inspirations of the moment.

 The oversized denim jacket
I absolutely love these looks using a denim jacket. I recently purchased one and have been loving styling it with dresses and skirts. It makes an outfit that may be seen as dressy, casual and really sets off an outfit. 
I love the nude denim jacket with white dress and white tights look to the left. This is cute yet the jacket gives it that edge. I really wish I could work white tights, but I feel you've either got it or you don't when it comes to them.
I've been addicted to stripes lately and black and white stripes just seem to really work with blue denim. Paired with the two necklaces and the black skirt the outfit below is completely casual cool. Finally, adding a faux fur gilet on top of the jacket is a great way to use layering to jazz up a seemingly plain outfit.

What a simple yet effective outfit this is. The black shirt dress, burgundy brogues and grey coat, all dark hues, blend together creating this fabulous winter look. I love the speckled effect of the coat, it makes it stand out and gives the outfit that extra nudge. This could be worn smart/casual or just as an everyday look.

The turtle neck jumper
I cannot describe my love for turtle neck jumpers this winter. They are just so soft, snuggly and flattering. I love this jumper paired with the plaid, a-line skirt. It reminds me of a Cher from Clueless outfit. Totally school chiq.

Over the knee socks
Over the knee socks are my must have accessory this winter. I feel like they make an outfit so much more than tights do. Pairing them with brogues and a oversized t-shirt is so easy and effective. Definitely swap yours tights for knee highs.

So there are my Tumblr outfit inspirations.
