Indo-Western

 Upon researching for Indian fashion designers and costume designers for my new project I have fallen in love with the detailing and combination of styles used in indo-western clothing. Designers like Ritu Kumar have high street lines aimed at international customers fusing traditional indian textile techniques with silhouettes and trends from Europe and America. Whilst searching for indian fabrics i came across a beautiful homemade sari in a charity shop and the top can be seen in the first few photos. I have chosen to pair the pink and green silk top with my matte leggings to further emphasise the clash between the two styles and to bring out the bright colour and machine work in the top. Furthermore I found this tunic/dress at a market stall in France for 5 euros and fell in love with its paisley print design and silk-feel fabric. Look out for brightly coloured fabrics and intricate designs as they will really add something to your wardrobe even if you only use it as a scarf or tie on your bag

Throughout the aautum and winter it's easy to get into the habit of dressing to the weather, and I don't mean wooly jumper and tights I mean wearing greys and blacks to match the sky and rainy weather. If you're struggling to keep your wardrobe from going to the dark side just add a touch of glamour and glitz to every outfit with a splash of glitter. I've chosen to match my cropped velvet glitter crop with aviator and full skirt for an autumnal daytime look. I also have chosen my new hot pink beaded top and forest green velvet skirt for a casual yet fun look that could be worn with tights and boots in the day or with heels in the evening. If you don't feel confident with this look just yet keep it subtle with a sparkly necklace or shoes; or belt as i have done above.

Makeshift Cami

 Cami tops are the most recent must have item in your wardrobe and understandably too. Not only are the femenine, fun and relatively cheap but they can be worn with almost anything. After looking into buying one myself it dawned on me that i already had a vest top from a few years ago that has the same look; so to add a little more glamour I have worn my lace bandeau underneath so that it can be seen on the neckline. Wear your cami with a wooly cardigan and jeans for the cooler days or with a tight fitting midi skirt and heels for the evening. Most of the high street shope have them in stock this season in a variety of materials and designs and topshop has some really interesting ones that can be found here.
