TOP 5 | Fall Fashion Faves

Who do I think I am, doing a fashion post?! There comes a time in the year when I crawl out of my makeup hole, and talk fashion. That time is now. While the Autumn/Winter seasons aren't my favourite, the fashion spoils surely are. I'm a Summer girl, sue me! Today, we're taking a look at my Top 5 picks for the current season!

1. Duster Coats

Hi! Hey! Hello, where have you been all my life? I am obsessed with the duster coat. It's just so versatile. You can dress it up, or dress it down. Either way, you look put together, and trendy AF. Plus, the colours they're coming in are to die for. Khaki, grey, baby pink, camel. Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme. Take a look at these offerings from Boohoo (Baby pink, Camel) and Missguided (Khaki). 

2. Pom Pom Beanie

I'm a hat girl. Beanie, baseball, fedora. You name it, I'll most likely wear it. In the colder months, I love nothing more than popping on a beanie, and being the most cozy. Plus, the faux fur pom pom is very on trend! Check out these ones from River Island (Pink) and Missguided (Grey). Or, if you want to look cute on a budget, Penneys (Green) are doing 'em for €4!

3. Chelsea Boots

The good ole Chelsea Boot. It transcends seasons at this stage. They just keep coming back around, and for good reason; they're great! Like an good wardrobe essential, they can be worn whatever the weather, mood, or occasion. Whether you're a suede lover, or leather fiend, this season's Chelsea collection has something for everyone. These ones from River Island (Black), New Look (Khaki) and Boohoo (Tan) are some of my current faves! 

4. Over-sized Scarves

Another accessory. One of my favourite things about Autumn fashion, is that you can carry over some Summer bits, just mix it up with some staple pieces. Like an big blanket scarf! You're bound to stay warm, with one of these bad boys wrapped around you. For this one, I'm gonna stick with our budget friendly fave, Penneys. They have some gorge blankets, between €5 and €9. Score! 

5. Adidas Superstars

My babies! I could live in these shoes forever. No joke. They're classics! Pair them with some black jeans, a white tee, and any duster coat. There you have your Autumn uniform. It's that easy! They retail at €80, so they are an investment. But, can you really put a price on comfort and style? You can pick them up on the Adidas website, and you get 10% off if you sign up to their newsletter. Side note: aren't the rose gold pair amazing?! 

What are your Autumnal wardrobe staples?!

FASHION | Top 5 ...

Like I said in previous posts, my holiday is fast approaching (9 days!!!!), so this last edition of Holiday Top 5 is going to be my 5 fashion must haves. I'm heading to Florida, and while I've never been there at this time of year, the average temperature for September is in the 90's (that's in the 30's for us Celsius folk!). Here's what I can't go without..

FASHION | Winter Warmers For Your Wardrobe!

I'm not one to have a favourite season, they all have their merits, but Winter is gunning for first in the fashion department this year. Big coats, hats and scarves, woolly jumpers.. BOOTS, what's a girl not to love? Here are some of my fashion picks that are guaranteed to warm your wardrobe right up!

1. Parkas

(L-R Primark Parka, RI 3-in-1 Faux Fur Parka in Black, Missguided Orla Faux Fur Detail in Burgundy )

Parkas are a perfect casual winter coat. Don't get me wrong, I love a good mac, or even a duffle, but sometimes, a casual outfit just doesn't match. Primark have a wonderful selection of parkas, one every taste, and are reasonably priced. Missguided have a great collection too, if you're willing to pay a bit more. While I look at winter coats as an investment, the River Island parka above is just a bit too much for my purse to handle. Doesn't stop me from wanting it, in fact, I think that makes me want it more. Where's the money fairy when you need her?

2. Hats. Hats. Hats.

(Clockwise from Top Right: American Apparel Wool Floppy Hat in Dark Rust, RI Navy Pom Pom Beanie, Black Hair Turban, RI Black Rolled Brim Bowler)

This is the one thing I take through every season. I love hats, a well known fact about me. I've even been told I have a head for hats, not sure if that's a complement, but I'll take it. Winter is perfect for hats, and the best part is, there's a great range that you can rock this season! Whatever look you want to achieve, I can guarantee there is a hat to match. You can look stylish and keep your noggin warm too. Result! Pictured above are some styles that I love and can't wait to wear!

3. Boots

(Clockwise from Top Right: New Look Black Cut Out Buckle Metal Tip Ankle Boots, Dunnes Tan Ankle Boots, Primark Black Heeled Chelsea Boots, Steve Madden Black TROOPA Combat Boots)

My second favourite thing about winter. Rainy days means exchanging our much loved converse and vans for sturdy, weatherproof boots. Yes! I don't know where my obsession with boots came from, all I know is I never want it to go away. Like everything else, there is something for everyone when it comes to boots. Heeled or flat, ankle, knee, or thigh high, you name it, you can find it.

4. Knitwear

(Clockwise from Top Right: New Look Grey Ombre Stripe Oversize Jumper, Forever21 Americana Dolman Sweater, Dunnes Heart Feather Jumper, Topshop Red Knitted Chunky Bobble Jumper)

While I'm not a huge fan of knitwear, I do enjoy a good oversized jumper in the aptly named 'sweater weather'. This winter season is all about the printed knit. How fun?! If prints aren't for you though, jumpers in deep reds, blues and greens are everywhere. Not to mention, who doesn't love a good striped knit?

5. Tartan

(L-R: Topshop Red & Green Check Treggings, Top to Bottom: F&F Checked Skater Skirt, New Look Red Tartan Check T-Shirt, Zara Two-Sided Soft Scarf, Pull & Bear Woollen Check Print Lingerie Dress)

Yes, I am aware that tartan is a print, but I am LOVING anything tartan this season. Coats, trousers, dresses, scarves, shirts, skirts, I want it all! The simplest way to add some plaid (see what I did there?), is with a scarf. The Zara one above is a tad pricey, but Primark offer a great alternative for €5! Go ahead, add a little grunge to your wardrobe!
