Welcome back!

As you some of you may know, I am a personal assistant to a really lovely fashion stylist and as part of my job I get to go to a few press days and write about them for her. Recently I got a really amazing opportunity to go to the Urban Outfitters press day for their autumn/winter collections. It was really amazing and I am very grateful to have gone.

So I thought I would do a little post about it for you all, telling you all of my favourite bits and bobs. Enjoy!

I loved the fact that all of the womenswear mannequins were wearing fedoras. They make any outfit look chic, sophisticated and feminine and I can tell you all now I will definitely be purchasing many in an array of colours this upcoming season. All the mannequins were dressed in over-sized or larger coats which made me extra excited for the cozy feeling of autumn. I cannot wait to get my hands on the brown faux fur coat either! 

The above look was definitely my favourite. I love the warm colour pallet and the subtle geek chic vibe that the collared blouse and tailored shorts give off. The pattern on the layering cropped tank is simply to die for and I can see myself rocking this 70's vibes throughout the year. Lets just say this outfit is me, personified. Love!  

I have always enjoyed House of Holland but when I saw this button up a-line skirt (far right) I could feel my inner 70's chic fighting the urge to squeal with excitement. The different coloured panels and white buttons add a structured look so can easily be dressed up or down. I can see this piece paired with so many tops, from warm toned turtle necks with tights and boots to a simple peter pan collared shirt with knee high socks and brogues! And as for the furry clutches, how cute! I would definitely team these up with a colourful dress for a night out. They are so different and unique and not to mention soft. They are pretty large inside as well, you can also add a longer strap to turn them into sweet side bags too.  

More 70's chic. Sorry if you're over this trend but I'm really not. These shoes are so gorgeous and the shape is chunky, high but still really cutesy. I love the burnt orange silk ones, they could add such a nice pop of colour to any black outfit or texture to a otherwise flat outfit. As for the black velvet ones, they could pretty much go with my whole wardrobe day or night- definitely worth the investment. 

What autumn/winter wardrobe is complete without a backpack? As a student I would find this extremely handy on campus carrying around books and what not. I love the simplicity of this bag too; minimal metal details, one buckle and a drawstring, that's all you need. The matte black also gives any look a more modern vibe. 

Finally there was the intimate wear. I loved the sports-luxe bodysuit, with its clean cuts and mesh inserts. It would look amazing with any pair of high-waisted jeans or disco pants for a night out. As for the bralettes and matching panties they were all very delicate made up of lace and tiny embellishments. Simply classic and timeless. 

Keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming press day posts.
