Solange Knowles...

Is a goddess when it comes to fashion. Since NYFW has started clogging up my youtube and Instagram feeds I was instantly drawn to miss Solange's effortless ensembles. I cannot stress how much wardrobe envy I have for this woman but she pulls every look off and makes it look incredibly  easy!!

So right now I'm just going to let you drool over my favourite looks from NYFW and 2013.... 

ladies and gentlemen ...

 Solange Knowles.

The most amazing yet simple outfit! The blue and orange clash makes me cry with joy!

When life gives you lemons..... you make a cute dress

Always changing up her hair, it seems every style suits her!

Prints on prints on prints

She even makes a simple skinny jean and white shirt combo look fancy!

Solange Knowles, here to brighten up anyones day!

Autumn Winter Wardrobe Spice: Aimee Kestenberg

Last week was the last day of summer for Britain (so sad I know) but it doesn't mean we have to revert to the shade of A/W13 and sit in the dark corners looking mysterious. Personally I love A/W, I love to accessories my outfits with a range of adventurous pieces of  statement jewellery and handbags. My recent handbag designer find hosts a range of exciting pieces for an instant wardrobe boost. Aimee Kestenbergs's designs are fun, bold and fearless with distinctive colours and patterns used for every product. As a lover of bright handbags myself I felt the need to share some of the pieces I would love to get my hands on in future. Here are my picks of Aimee Kestenberg's Collection.

Each of the bags are versatile and functional which makes it perfect for any woman who is out and about and on the go.

I love this clutch bag design and as its monochrome is can easily be used for any outfit ideas. This bag is great for clashing prints if your not a fan of clashing your top and bottoms.

Tamitha

This Tamitha bagpack is my personal favourite. I love mixing print and colour so this would be perfect for the bold peices. I think its great for A/W13 too as the patten and colours would look great with the darker pieces that the high street offers during this season. I also love the zip detail down the back. Its not your every day bag pack which makes me love this bag even more. The best thing about this design?........

it comes in over 6 gorgeous bright colours including Mustard Yellow, Lipstick Red and this beautiful Cobalt Blue.

Lindy

The Lindy medium tote is great for everyday use. This also comes in a range of versatile colours with high quality silver hard wear giving the bag a more edgier look. Im also a fan of being able to wear a bag in more than one way. With the two straps you can either hang it over your shoulder or show it off by placing it on your arm.

There has been ALOT of the animal print trend seen all over the catwalks and high-street for A/W13 and with the hard metal finishings, this bag is perfect for spicing up a daytime outfit or making a statement on a night out. I think the use of colours are interesting but for me its perfect as I love the militant twist with the leopard print.

Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet : Queen of Quirky Cool!

As autumn / winter is fast approaching it doesn't mean you have to dress bland and cosy all the time! For me, ill be looking for statement jackets teamed with patterned check dresses and bold statement necklaces! And my inspiration for all this? Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet. The collections are packed with statement jackets, dresses and gorgeous printed accessories. The brand is exciting, quirky and original and there are enough highly detailed pieces to keep you entertained throughout the seasons!
Im in love with the styling and the overall looks for these pieces. The fabrics and mix of textiles creates an ultimately chic and sophisticated collection each season as Ms Stacey Bendet's designs are created with impeccable detail.

 I love these printed jeans as I personally feel they can be worn in any season when teamed with a plain t-shirt and a leather jacket or just a simple navy or black jumper over the top. The outfit ideas are endless with the use of colours to use from the print!

I think its important for any girls and guys wardrobe to have a staple leather jacket but if you want something a bit more unique, you can go for a statement leather jacket like this one!

 The gold rockstar studded detailing across the front lapels, the shoulders and the back gives the jacket more of a statement look without looking too safe. Gold and black can be teamed with pretty much anything too which makes it incrediably versatile.

This look reminds me of the 'gossip girl era'. I love the tartan print skirt teamed with the aviator styled leather jacket  and the oversized notched lapels makes this jacket more of a statement piece too.

The woven detail of the jacket is stunning and I feel the raw edges complete the jackets over all look.

Now you've had outfit inspiration, how about accessories?

This snake printed bag goes hand in hand with the gold chains, you can take this bag from day to night which again is perfect as I love any accessory with the ability to be used  24 hours a day.
