Paint Box Delights

Since it is such a wonderfully sunny day in Glasgow I'd thought its keep it bright and happy by letting you guys know how to keep bang on this seasons trend of "Paint Box Delights".

Im gonna show you guys a few key pieces to me the total painted lady!

This trend has been seen all over the Catwalk from Celine to Chanel.

With this gorgeous Chanel pantone palette quilted bag, a unique twist on a classic piece.

Also this outfit from Celine Ready to Wear collection, totally thinking outside the "paint" box!

AND!!

As I was researching for this blog I came across this amaaaazing amazing buy!

A complete doppelgänger of the Celine skirt in PRIMARK FOR £8!!

There are two key places I have seen doing this trend very very well and thats ASOS (of course) and Zara, the leaders in fashion trends.

Zara has this amazing skirt that's not only incorporating the paint box trend but also the asymmetric laser cut trend. All for only £39.99

There are so many items from ASOS I could have chosen, tried to stick to my favs. House of Holland nails! In Tie Dye!!!

And this trend doesn't just include paint look clothes also bright colour blocking and painting prints!

Like this Peter Jensen Julie Sweatshirt With Diana Ross Print!

BEAUT!

Hope you guys enjoy!

Here's a quick essential guide to keeping on track with the A/W 2013 trends.

Tartan!
This is something you MUST invest in this season to stay bang on trend, this look was seen all over the catwalk from the likes of Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Mulberry..

Mulberry

Christian Dior

Versace

And if like me you cant afford these exact looks well here is a few alternatives to keep you right on trend without breaking the bank.

I LOVE these little tartan ankle strap heel with the perspex sides from BooHoo.com, keeping with the tartan trend but also with the strappy heel makes these shoes so versatile, you are able to wear then with skinny ripped jeans or a tight black midi...almost too many excuses to wear them! For £20 can you really say no?

These are perfectly paired with a crisp white crop shirt, or an oversize woolly knit or a cute pair of chelsea boots. From Topshop for only £25.

Cute cropped duffle style jacket from Zara for £109

Punk!

Now who doesn't love a bit of punk, bring out your inner bad gal. This look was seen on designers from the likes of Chanel, Saint Laurent...

Versace

Heres some more cost effective looks to keep you going all winter long!

Black and white printed T from Topshop by Maarten Van Der Horst, pair this with super skinny jeans and some metallic footwear!

Loving this waisted spike belt from ASOS, perfect with a girly skater style dress to punk it up!

Could you get more punk that these Dr Marten shoes! Which would pretty much match everything, well i'd find any excuse to wear them!

Suit Up!
Looking at classic structure skirts, paired with oversize jumpers and matching print suit set! Which can definitely go from office to nightwear effortlessly. This look from designers such as Victoria Beckham, Erdem, DKNY, Burberry Prorsum..

Burberry Prorsum

Louis Vuitton

DKNY

Key pieces to stay on trend from the high street.

This sweet little piece from Zara just screams this look, match it with a structured skirt, tights and boot for a cute and bang on trend look.

This leather look pencil skirt from ASOS is perfect for this look and so versatile for everything, another one of those pieces that would go with mostly everything for day and night, office and party!

This beautiful matching set from Topshop just gets my fashion senses tingling! Both easily wearable pieces by themselves but together they are like some sort of power couple! If you are looking for head turning reactions in the office then go for this, paired with loafers or even strappy 'barely there' sandals to easily flow from day till night. We might as well party those cold winter nights away!

Oversize Outerwear

This could be easiest trend ever! Who cares what your wearing underneath as long as your coat is oversize and fabulous! This look was dominating the catwalk with the likes of DKNY, Chanel, Valentino all showing this look

Valentino

Chanel

DKNY

And again, heres some high street goodies that will keep you right on trend!

I love this over size coatigin from ASOS the colour matches so many different pieces and would look flawless with most styles! A coatigin is definitely on my wish list this winter!

I'm most definitely loving the colour of this oversize masculine studio coat from Zara.

This blazer from River Island just screams this trend, with the check running through it brings in the tartan trend too! Also this is a super easy piece to dress up and down too which is great!
