C.W: Styles and trends for Autumn and Winter 2013

Changing Wardrobes:

What's in this Autumn/Winter:


From the catwalks plaids and checkered weaves have reappeared to brighten the clothes, and have
been shown  in some very interesting combinations, with some sophisticated styling.  Symmetry isn't an obstacle this year, with many asymmetrical pieces around. The oversize, the trimmed coats, and even the ladies tailored designs all have plaids to play with, from toned down shades to bold colour combinations.

The plaids are featured very strongly n skirts, coats, and jumpers, but have been used all over the wardrobe from shirts, to shoes. However they have come out on top in coats this season making a great statement, and stable piece to have.

Another influence in the catwalks to add instant glamour  is old school womanly charms, using older hourglass styling  and curvy silhouettes to add a lady like look and simple sophistication to a lot of collections Making sure we girls are snug in our coats and dresses, when we are out of those pyjamas this winter. This styling was often combined with a lot of pink, for all those who wish to brighten up the end of the year.

There was also a lot of urban utility fashion, presented. Contrasting the city against the lady this year.




Thanks  for reading, next week, etsy prints, my watermark and some of my own wardrobe choices, before I have  big clear out.                                                                                           Enjoy  XXX

3 week easter!

Well I am at my boyfriends for two weeks out of three I have off, from University. Despite teachers saying the would not set me work I've got it, but its something interesting and worth doing. I've got to draw a collection, I have chosen jewelry because it is easy to transport and  have a lot of variety and some from over 6 years ago, despite only being 19 years old.
I have limited materials but plently of styles of drawing  and things to focus on.

I also  have some good projects from Company magazine to share. From capes to cutomising or items from scratch.


Now seeing as its just so cold here in England, I am lent towards posting this simple cape project:


I do fancy aking one myself, but the fact so few people - if any- wear a cape today. It is not something I want to wear to stand out.

But I would like to sell my own made capes, with customised details (if u have any ideas, please share). But I know unless there is a trend for them they won't sell.


I would be curious what I would make for myself.


Is this something you are interested in?
Should I keep on posting these articles?
If you have a try at any of these projects I'd love to hear what you think of them?
