Fall's Favourites

The summer is slowly coming to an end. As we prepare to put away swimsuits and shorts, we open the door to new trends, new colour schemes, and definitely new weather.

This fall apparently it's all a bit more glamorous. The colder weather gives us the opportunity to wear more layers, more accessories, but always remember to stay true to your style. Living in London makes it easier for everybody to explore different trends, to mix, to create.

I read somewhere that this fall is all about skirts, shorts are no more apparently. So, instead of posting pictures of skirts, I found more suitable things that can always be combined with them.

Also, most of the items in this section are from shops located in Angel, Islington, however there are some exceptions.

The first item on the list is a top with birds on a wire. How cute is that? Pair it with a skirt and nice pumps for the daytime or change to killer heels for a more 'innocent but sexy' look.

The next three items are dresses. A fall without dresses is zero, that's why I had to find a few that were colourful, with nice retro prints and a retro shape. That wasn't tough, they are everywhere. Topshop has them in different colours and patterns, but the shape is always the same. Look for other high street options such as New Look, River Island and Miss Selfridge until you find the perfect dress.

Last of all are the accessories, and this time I chose bags. Like dresses, fall makes it perfect to try out vintage styles and raw colours. Whether you prefer clutches, totes, or just massive bags, there is always an option out there. You can't go wrong with leather, just make sure your pieces are always clean and that the leather is in good condition. You want a vintage look, not a homeless look.

As you can see, fashion is more and more fun everyday. It is more open and full of options. Remember to follow the trends, but stick to what suits you and what is adequate to your personality.
Scarfs are also big, go to any vintage shop and buy a few, they tend to be very cheap and their colourful patterns willyour the outfit that extra kick.. Wear it in your hair, around your neck, or as a belt.. use your imagination!!

Kudos Fall! Xx
