AW15 Best Bits So Far

As summer seems to be slowly disappearing, we're cheering ourselves up by starting the search for our winter wardrobes.

Keep hold of your flared jeans as the 70's trend is still going strong, mixed with Heritage influences we love the chocolate browns, burgundy and rust tones. Textures and trims are key with Suede, PU and fringing. For prints think Boho paisleys with pops of mustard.

These are the best bits we have our eye on for next pay day, that won't break the bank.

Quench The Trench Trend

My heart longs for the sleek tailored lines of Burberry in luxurious shades of camel suede but my one look at my bank balance sends those dreams plummeting to the ground.
But don't weep into your empty purse just yet...
With AW15 coming round fast we've done some digging and found some surprisingly perfect alternatives.
The suede trench is a great transitional jacket and fits right into the 70's trend that continues into next season.
