'Educate' your wardrobe

Prepped for University Cool

With the return to University comes a new wardrobe and a new edit on 'preppy' cool. I have always loved my white skinny jeans and they are a staple piece for achieving this look.

Keep things simple and chic with a cute stripey top ... another timeless piece for any wardrobe and an absolute must!

Comfy shoes for walking around campus are necessary and keep things stylish with these preppy plimsolls.

As an English student I know what it feels like to carry around piles of books, so I recommend this stunning Mulberry satchel.

Eenie, meenie, miney moe ... mini, maxi, midi ... all lengths to go

We've seen the micro-mini skirts stretch their lengths to reach the floor and recreate the ever popular maxi. But as Autumn/Winter collections filter through the shops the midi seems to be taking over and conquering the skirt battle!

Rock 'N Roll Grunge

Yesterday when I was browsing the new collections in my favourite high-street shops I was pleased to see the return of the leather trousers. For the past couple of years the Autumn/Winter collections have been releasing the 'Rock 'N Roll' grunge look on the public allowing everyone and anyone to look like a rock star.

I know people (my boyfriend to name one) who loathe the sight of these skin-tight leather trousers, but I absolutely LOVE them ... I can't get enough! They can be worn in the daytime with a casual, yet cool top such as the Femme Fatale t-shirt from Zara.

As the days get colder, which unfortunately they will, you can add this deluxe boyfriend style cardigan from Republic.

The look can be transformed from day to night simply by adding a pair of chunky, eye-popping red wedges from Kurt Geiger.

Or for an even more glamorous look try this sequin top from Topshop and kill two fashion birds with one outfit, because sequins are back with attitude this winter.

Pamper your feet with a divine pair of Gold Erikas from Kurt Geiger and keep the outfit sharp with a slimline tux jacket.

Fall into next season

Who needs the summer sun ...

When the seventies style is hot, HOT, HOT! 

You may be consumed by the end of summer blues, but if you check out the new Autumn/Winter collections that are overflowing from the rails of Britain's high-street shops you will definitely be smiling again. 


The seventies have made a comeback with fabulous mustard hues and deep shades of red. Additionally the flares are replacing skinny jeans and floppy felt hats have proved more stylish than ever. 

For a sexy day time look try these figure-hugging jeans from River Island

This feminine pussy bow blouse from Asos is a necessary and classic addition to any wardrobe, adding a flirty edge to River Island's flares
