Having A Moment: Leather

Another of Autumn/Winters returning trends is of course leather; whether it be a jacket, boots or a skirt, it's back in a big way. Leather is a material that instantly gives any outfit a rock and roll edge. Chucking a leather jacket over a floaty dress or pairing a pair of leather trousers with a ladylike blouse, it instantly raises your outfit to another level.
Leather has been spotted on the catwalks of all the major designers like Burberry, Christopher Kane and Versace. Worn together with the tartan trend really gives off the essence of punk rebel. The leather trend is one of those things that never really goes away so it's worthwhile investing in the real thing as you will definitely get a lot of wear out of it. But if you can't quite afford the real thing there is plenty of great PU lookalikes out there at a fraction of the price.

Having A Moment: Tartan

So the Autumn/Winter season is nearly among us (yippee) so I decided to monitor the upcoming trends; being a fashion graduate and all that it only seems right, right?... Anyway the first trend, and by far my favourite, is the return of tartan. It has been seen on the catwalks by the likes of Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger and Moschino to name a few.
My obsession with checks and tartan pretty much runs all year round, managing to work the check shirt into my summer and winter wardrobe with ease. The Tartan skirt always seems to conjure images of school girls, especially when rocked with black over the knee socks, but who says 22 year olds can't play dress up every now and again?
All the images shown are also part of my wish list that at some point when I have more money to my name will be being purchased and calling my wardrobe home for the foreseeable future.
