There are so many blogs I could have also mentioned, but the more you look at style blogs yourself, the more you will discover; it really is the most exciting and inspirational way to experience the world of fashion. There is a huge array of unique individuals out there on the web with interesting and original approaches to style that do not conform to the usual media or industry rules of what makes fashion acceptable, so take inspiration and approach fashion fearlessly, as the bloggers do themselves!

Love This!

Taken from www.guardian.co.uk: A look at key pieces from Christopher Kane’s Topshop Collection. The white dress in particular is gorgeous and the hem and sleeve details are lovely touches, I am already lusting over this preview. Also check out the fantastic video to accompany the launch of the collection at Topshop.com.

Trend Alert! - Lace up ankle boots

Lace up ankle boot and shoe boots have been huge on the winter catwalks, they are also a key trend on the high street too. There are lots of different styles and varieties out there, from Victorian laces ups and smart brogue shoe boots, to trendy ‘granny’ boots! Just make sure you grab a pair before the chilly winter months close in.

Celebs favouring the look: Alexa Chung, Chloe Sevigny, and Diane Kruger.

Beauty Buzz!
