Last season, I was lucky enough to attend one of Stylist Live's catwalk shows, showcasing emerging trends for AW15. It was so much fun, and seeing as we're now almost on the brink of that long-awaited shift into Spring, I thought I'd share some of my favourite pieces from the biggest trends hitting the high-street this coming season.

1. TUNICS
ASOS          //          Topshop          //         ASOS          //          Monki 

2. CROPPED FLARES & CULOTTES

3. BELL SLEEVES

4. COLOURED FUR

LEATHER PANTS


Shirt: Topshop | Trousers: Zara | Shoes: ASOS | Faux fur coat: Choies 
---------------------------------

I can't believe how comfy these Zara leather trousers are; I'm honestly still not over it! I've been lusting over these for ages, but never really rushed to get them because I assumed they would be incredibly uncomfortable, and comfort is increasingly becoming one of my top priorities. When I finally got round to trying them on, I was so pleasantly surprised, and with all the zip detailing, as well as the ribbed knees, aesthetically-speaking, these babies are my dream come true. 

They're so easy to style, and the best thing is that you can create a really awesome and yet casual outfit, or pair them with a heel for a night out! I can't wait to tackle the approaching colder days in London, by pairing them with a really chunky knit jumper and some boots. For this warmer day back home in Gibraltar, though, I teamed them up with my cute striped shirt, and ASOS 'Miami' flats, for a cool balance between feminine and grungy.

DIY FRAYED MOM JEANS


Jumper & Gilet: Pimkie | Jeans: Levis via Motel Vintage | Shoes: Reebok via Size? 
------------------------------------------------------
I'm aware that I've featured all of these items in my blog very recently, but let's face it: this gal repeats outfits constantly! If I love something, I tend to just live in it - no shame! The main purpose of this post is to show how I cut the bottom cuffs of my jeans off; literally the best thing I've ever done! I did like my Levis before, but I always thought the cuffs looked a bit too neat and even awkward at times. So I went a bit scissor crazy and chopped them off, and then started tugging on the ends like a madwoman until I was happy with the fraying. I love the length of them now, and the uneven fraying is a subtle way to take any outfit to the next level and help it all look effortless yet stylish.

PIMKIE PIECES



Jumper & Gilet: Pimkie | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: ASOS 
------------------------------------------

I was recently in Madrid, where I picked up this faux fur gilet and maroon knit from Pimkie; a brand that is fairly unknown in the UK. It's actually a French brand, and shops are found pretty much all over Europe! I used to shop there quite a lot when I was younger, and I re-discovered why that was as soon as I walked into the Madrid store. It's such a cool and casual label, offering fantastic value for money pieces - it kinda reminds me a bit of New Look. 

I've been after a fur gilet for a while and really liked this creamy/brown-coloured one. Even though my usual colour palette consists of grey tones, I was really keen to purchase something that would push me to experiment with other colours outside of my comfort zone. I was also after a maroon jumper, and when I saw this one, with the tassel detailing, I thought it was just that little bit more unique than the bog standard knit jumper I see everywhere. I dug out my old ASOS studded monk shoes to finish off the whole look, teaming it all up with my ripped jeans of course! (I'm really gonna have to get myself some new jeans soon)

FLORAL BLOUSE


Top: H&M (Similar here) | Jeans: M&S | Shoes: Topshop | Faux fur coat: Choies 
---------------------------------

With my ongoing job hunt forever on my mind, I decided to hit the shops the other day, to hunt for some affordable and work-appropriate pieces. First stop: H&M - they absolutely never fail in this department. I managed to find this pretty wraparound floral blouse for under £15, and the best thing is that not only is it super chic and pretty for a work outfit, but it's not too much so that it can't be worn outside of the office. Here I paired it with my trusty high-waisted jeans, and suede boots, adding my fur jacket for a cool colour/print contrast (and to combat the English chill).
