Thigh's the Limit

Legs for days - that's what we all want right?

Behold the answer to all your dreams of having pins that rival the ole supermodel brigade - 

thigh high boots!

The most flattering of winter boots, if you can get them right.

So easy to carry off on an everyday basis once the following ideals are adhered to:

1. Choose boots that have a soft finish like suede or velvet, or even a matte leather

2. A chunky heel, platform or flat sole works for casually yet has that touch of sophistication

3. Don't be afraid, they're only boots - rock em loud and proud!

Note - avoid patent or shiny leather, buckle overload and skyscraper heel height...you know why?!

I've just got my claws on the divine, must-have Miista Emi thigh highs, as modeled by the amazing Lauren Bejaoui for Folkster! Super comfy, the longest legs of life and sheer perfection! Now available here >> http://www.folkster.com/shoes/miista-22/emi

Leather Accents

If I was to choose my favourite time of year, I would have to say September, hands down.

As much as I love summer, what I love more is the balmy transition to a cooler climate, the addition of a knit sweater while still baring legs in the crisp sun. 

September marks newness, a time to reflect and embark on new experiences and revive old promises.

It is also a time whereby we need to assess the fashion season ahead and envision the style we want to portray. Embark on new trends, pursue the addition of key pieces, and put our individual signature on our style sets.

The past couple of weeks I've been playing around with ideas for autumn dressing, and subconsciously I found what I want to endorse this season. Leather pieces have become staple in my wardrobe as of late and my goodness do I love them! From my beloved biker jacket to a colour array of leather mini skirts, and my vintage leather pinafore to my trusty PU leather pants - they're practically basics!

I'm so excited to embrace autumn dressing knowing that leather essentials will provide the foundation for my look. To look put together without trying too hard, feeling a little more glamorous than you do in trusty boyfriend jeans, and loving that chic appeal that leather lends to, I'm already planning my outfits for the season ahead!

Feeling Blue

Vibrant and fresh, my latest colour crush is cobalt blue.

Adding just enough oomph to make any outfit that bit more interesting, j'adore!

Choose statement pieces like a bright blue overcoat or add a flash of colour with perfect blue accents.

Now to get my hands on that blue Céline bag...!

Oh Fedora!

Currently obsessed with: The Fedora

I am loving the fedora at the moment. The perfect compliment to any outfit, it adds a look of refinement, of polish, and of sheer loveliness.
Paired with anything from denim cut-offs and a breton top to fur coats and white shirts, the fedora is so versatile and so easily wearable.

Tell me about it...STUD

A trend that I am loving more and more is that of STUDS. And from what I can see, those shiny, spiky, pyramidal objects of metal are going to be around for a while.
My first indulgence was back in September or so when I purchased a pair of black suede studded loafers here and I still wear the heck out of them.
Without rocking out like a total 90s heavy metal kid, I like to keep my studs simple and minimal whereby adding texture and an edginess to my generally feminine sense of style.
The quirkiness is in the detail and the creativity inspired by studding is endless...believe it or not I am here studs in hand ready to embellish a trusty denim jacket that's needs revamping!
And yes, I am heavily considering DIYing my converse as demonstrated above!

How do you guys feel about studding? Yay or Nay?
