metal caps

Mental caped shoes… I think we’ve all seen and know THESE ARE A COMING! In a big wave of shoes styles! The most common is the fab Zara points, in beautiful pastel colours. I expect these to be coming in a big flush end of winter ready for sping time, but keep your eyes peeled. The pair has been seen all about town so we could get a influx earlier; best thing about them is they will be affordable! the pastel yellow has been photographed everywhere and worn by bloggers all around the globe!
bloggers going cray for them......


but they do come in the other colours of the season, cute pink and blue pastels  
i love the white too though!!!!

You can splash out now online and get some from the nations with the warmer months coming up or sit back and wait.

Of course the king of heels Christian Louboutin has some, they are all luxe!
beautiful with the gold triming around the heel too
and a round toe with leopard, a favourite too!

I like the simple mental cap on a single heeled shoe, no platform for the really lady like shoe appreciation, but upon my research I found many of the metal caps in all kinds of styled and they look great
on thr runways...
red carpets...
these are a shoe art piece...

bloggers again...
Aussie pick – the metal toe pointed boot for winter….pushing up on the trend beat everyone else and get you pair now!!!!!!

quilted leather

As I was walking through the city a few days ago I was viewing the Chanel VM windows and checking out the spread and I just feel in love with the quilting. I know quilting Chanel – this is not something new! But they had a beautiful quilted leather jacket in the window! I loved it. It was a pastel pink, not too girlie and Barbie style but really chic and I was like quilting Chanel I must blog about this....then also had the realisation are you crazy! Quilting and Chanel are just synonymous! But I then really had a look around and found that quilted leather is really on trend and I loved it! I know we all tend to lust over a certain kind of leather jacket every winter season and I found my foe-Chanel look alike at the always trusty ZARA. And it’s in the beautiful; pink pastel. I also saw an abundance of the classic black leather jackets with quilted detailing. Now let me stress, I really love the quilting as a feature, not all the same shape quilting all over the jacket is has to be a mix up otherwise it looks too much like a bomber jacket from the 80’s.



The detailing of the jacket and the pink is to die!












sequin layers

Trending through the seasons is always about layers... try sparkling your look up with sequin layer. a cardi, jacket, vest, scarf. so many options! so easy for the always tricky day to night/ work to evening. sequins make everyone smile! as Rachel Zoe would say "Gotta love me some sequin"
you can never have enough















 





long vests

Long oversized vests are a must this season! I love a good vest, but I really love the oversized man style look with a twist on the tuxedo trend. I love the bigness, but it doesn’t make you look bigger than you are and you can really look super on trend

A classic no brainer when it comes to this look is with a good denim, I like a natural classic blue denim skinny’s preferred by me but the boyfriend pair works too, then the addition of a white tee, long or short sleeved and a ballet flat, any pattern/ style. This outfit is effortlessly cool and great for running around on a Saturday, a date, or just lounging around at home



I love that you can also change up each items of the outfit just so slightly eg/ boyfriend jean instead of a skinny, yet the look comes together so well and is unique!
I also discovered many different styles available, and yes these have been around for some time in store but you may have brushed past them. Give one a go.
You have the tuxedo style – I think this is super on trend and we will see a lot of it this season, also I’ve seen a few long vests that are actually made to be worn as a dress, I can image Gwenth Paltrow in this!
The textures and styles different a unique. Try a fringe vest, which is quite short essentially but the fringing creates the length, the panels different colours to geometrics your look, have a vest with different fabrics built in to really give you some great texture, and last but not least add a vest with some zipper detailing for a sporty look

There is also the scarf/ floaty vest, a great staple to have in the wardrobe perfect to just keep one in the car/ office/ handbag. They fold up easy and they are almost like a scarf adding that touch of cool and chic to your outfit, I love this pattern one, but I will admit I lived in just a classic plain black in Europe last year as the weather and country's were always changing and it took up the smallest amount of room in my backpack! Bonus!
