​Autumn Trends

16/9/2016

0 Comments

 
This week I’ve still been enjoying wearing my summer clothes, eking them out before I consign them to storage.  But after last night’s storm and a sudden drop in temperature my mind has turned to thinking about the autumn trends.  It’s a bit early for me yet and I’ve not made it to the shops to have a really good look around to see what is appearing but I have noticed a few trends coming through and which I am ready to tap into:
 
Burgandy

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago in a blog post (mixing red and burgundy – read it here) and burgundy is a definite colour trend that I am seeing all over Instagram and in the magazines.  I started off with a pair of Pretty Ballerina pumps and I have now added a few Boden items (see below).  It is not a colour I have worn for a while but is definitely one that suits my colouring.  I tend to choose an ‘accent’ colour each season, something that can be worn with black and navy and can provide the basis of my capsule wardrobe.  I think it could be burgundy this autumn.  And I’ve just had my nails and feet painted in a deep red colour too!
Boden Favourite Crew Cardigan £49.50
Boden Ravenna Top £49.50
Pretty Ballerinas 'Shirley' £119
​
Capes

These have been loitering for a while but I am often late to the party!  I think they could be a good alternative to a coat especially in the autumn.  I have just bought this Boden one which again includes the nod to the burgundy trend and will go well with both denim and black jeans.

Animal Print

This has been appearing for a good few years now!  I am yet to find the perfect animal print bag, although I do have smaller ones for evenings out.   Another instagrammer mentioned these fabulous Next boots to me last week and I ordered them immediately.  They are comfortable, practical and gorgeous.  I had already ordered the Boden ones but they were on delay so I have now cancelled them and will be keeping these ones without a doubt!  I can see these working well with an all black outfit – jeans and cashmere jumper then the pop of animal print.

​I’m a big Mint Velvet fan as you probably know and I notice they have bought out a new range Mint by Mint Velvet.  A bit more high end, simple luxury, very understated I think.  I am keen to take a look when the range hits my local boutique.

I really must get to the shops and take a look properly!

Boden currently have 15% off everything too!

Have a good weekend.
