THE TRENCH TREND

Coat Check by ModeBuzan

Being the busy bees we all are at this time of year, we sometimes get lost (+ in my case) drowned in all the do's and don'ts of winter fashion trends. To keep it plain and simple, I've got you covered !

My love for this winter, a must in my wardrobe (as they say!) are good old coats. The ones that I'm particularly reaching out for today are oversized jackets . They're also known as 'boyfriend blazers' because of it's long + oversized feel to it. It's chic and elegant style gives me a leaner and more minimalistic look, which of course I'm loving! Cosy, comfortable + stylish what more do you need ?!

To keep it on that 'basic' looking side, pair the coat with black denim jeans, a black top, chunky heels and a box clutch! 

These coats always look fabulous, even as a last second decision!

There are plenty of brands out there nailing this trend. Some of my favourites are RiverIsland, Topshop + Zara.

Enjoy!       

A small clip of my outfit, a look I'm defiantly giving a go again soon !

lavishing insight on the flourishing trend

This Falls trend is long, sleek & chic. Easy to remember right ?! Think 60's boho, Twiggy that swinging era.. but with a modern twist. For colour try out neutrals, they elongate the leg and adds a graceful touch to your look or if feeling spontaneous try a fuchsia/blood red colour this adds a trendy punch to your outfit and will surely spunk your look! Either way just have fun with the colours... because shape and height of the shoe is key, especially if you want that fresh from the runway look. So be sure to browse around...and stock up for fall, with style!

Good Luck!

DAINTY DETAIL

Finally its back but better! Pinks, blushes, yellows, blues, all topped off with metallics and embellishments. I adore this look! Its easy to dress up or down for any occasion. And the best part is... the more diverse the textures and colours are the better! This look brings life to any person giving them a more angelic aura to them. Its quite a girly outfit to be honest but it doesn't have to be... If your style is to have heavy accessories, mismatching colours, random overlays etc. This look would be a breeze to put together. What works best is when you don't follow 'the book' so to say. Making it your own gives you the look of confidence and elegance. This look is so versatile you can find it almost anywhere from River Island to Primark they all got you covered. And it's the best time to bring out your inner D.I.Y, make this your own little project, grab out your sewing needles (if not craft glue) and get creative. You never know what you might end up with.+ it's time to put those old bits an pieces you collected over the years (and never knew why) to use!

All brands are hyping about this look and are busy trying to come up with the next step to it. As you can see colours are only part of the look, what really makes it is the intricate details. This just shows us how free you can be with your choices, and that the embellishments are the main attraction to this look.

GET THE LOOK | LANA DEL REY

Reputations have changed along side with fashion, in this case Land Del Rey. Not only has she built herself from ground up but managed to achieve a high level of respect from doing what she does best. Lana is an outstanding singer and role model, she portrays a strong message through her lyrics, meet and greets and especially through fashion. She loves herself for who she is and cares less on what society have to say about that. And that's one of the many things I adore about her, shes true to who she is and what she stands for, making her unstopable. Freedom is her key to success.

Lana as we know tends to go her way or now way. She's one of the few that can rock the 60's beehive hair whilst pulling off a mauve lip and a french gel nail. Her style bends on the more mellow 60's rock look but knows how to soften that out with minimal looking dresses and skirts. We all know her iconic look and wonder where she gets it from, well... she has an obsession with the late Priscilla Presley. She almost try's to evolve her style around around her. And I gotta say she's nailing the look to its best, from the hair to the makeup Lana never disappoints. 

Lana usually sticks to the blush, blacks, and blues colour palette for her outfits. She loves to keep things looking simple, effortless and different. For her usual daily look she would wear a washed out tee with shorts (or a flowing skirt) and lets not forget the converse.. Lana has a weakness for converse, leather jackets, denim, chunky heels and rock band t-shirts. I love the way she doesn't change for fashion, she shows us all that you can make it work no matter what you've got. Shopping for her looks can be found in Romwe, ASOS, River Island... the list is endless anything that screams indie or 60's has her name written all over it.

As you can see Lana's look is a mix of boho/60's/and soft rock. This look is perfect for everyone as it brings a feminine yet edgy side to your look, also giving you a non-dressed up vibe. Just remember to keep things to the minimal, and that goes for the accessories to. A staple piece will compliment the Lana Del Rey-esque look amazingly.

 Lana loves her soft pinks, nudes, mauve's and of course a doll like eye makeup. She lets her makeup do the talking. In getting this look stick to the browns and nudes, skip the high shimmering shadows and only keep to the highlighting shades for the inner corners of the eyes, cupid's bow, the tops of your brows, and high points of your checks. The look your aiming for is a fresh and soft airbrushed look, (with a 60's aura to it obviously!)

SLACK VS SLEEK

Staying on trend is not as hard as you think. You don't need the latest shoes, jeans, jacket or any of that stuff to look modish. We'll call those things the guide line. The so called "on trend items" are in your wardrobe right now. The thing about fashion is that you control it, you're in charge. And that's the beauty of it. This look that I put together is just a typical grunge/simple look. Anybody can achieve it without even knowing it. What I have here is a collection of things you can swap around or mix and match to your liking. Slogan shirts of all sorts is the latest thing now (paired with an over-sized jacket), and its very versatile, they practically match with anything you have. This look is very flawless giving a sophisticated and edgy impression . To sum up the look pair a black pant with a slogan shirt and top it off with your favorite leather or denim jacket. And to give it an extra punch wear docs, vans, boots or anything that keeps you feeling comfortable. That's key to keeping any look effortless. And finally adding a simple staple necklace and shades pulls this look together.

 

Here are runways interpretations to the slogan shirt and "boyfriend jacket " or the over-sized jacket. Its very dainty to the eye but has a very powerful look to it. The whole look screams high-fashion and is something we'll be seeing quite often over the coming weeks.
