I haven’t had the time to post many outfit posts lately so I thought I would share a few pictures from one night last week and combine it with a small trend that seems to be popping up everywhere; Autumn draping. I decide to this as when the three of us got together I seemed to be the only not draped from head to toe. Now all the dresses I seem to be attracted to for autumn seem to be draped in one way or the other.

//WEARING//
Jeans: H&M super squin (new obsession right now)
Black transparent shirt: H&M
Black top: Zara
Black satin heels: Miu Miu (more pictures to come soon)

Here are a few bloggers sported wearing the wrapped and draped  trend to perfection. Funnily enough in the first collage, all of their dresses and skirts come from stylestalker something that I had not calculated but I do have to admit they have some amazing wrapped dresses and skirts. I especially have a huge crush on this particular dress.

Now here is a trend that you parents are probably praying they never see you wear. Henry Holland’s ‘trompe l’oeil’ suspender tights took an a life of their own and were first spotted on British rock girls such as Pixie Geldorf, the Saturdays… and then the bloggers got their hands on them and that was that, suspenders were back in. I say suspenders because some, more daring than others, sported the real thing and wore them casually as day wear. Personally, I feel that some thing should stay in the bedroom or maybe I am just not too daring enough?!

Anyway, Henry Holland is a master when it comes to tights (special post on HH and his playful tights soon) and I don’t know if I get (and like) them because I am British but I know not to take these little things too seriously and I actually quite like them and think them playful and flirty without screaming ‘go back home and put some clothes on woman’. Even though this is not a new trend and has been around for a year or so, I thought the 1st of September was the perfect day to celebrate the steady come back of tights.

When there is a successful trend, there are copycats and Topshop came up with suspender tights of their own also adopted by our favorite trend setters. These are even more playful and less litteral than HH’s version. But nevertheless, still only for the daring.

Our beloved H&M came out with a few pieces that were clearly inspired by two great names in fashion; McQueen and Givenchy. The most striking pieces were the crazy black & white prints that were seen on trousers, leggings, dresses and jackets. These quickly become bloggers favorites. And even though I looked like a complete fool in the dress, I still think it looks amazing on these girls, but there is no question that you need the legs to go with that dress.

Edit: Or dare to go all in like the gorgeous Sandra, who pulls off the entire graphic look by pairing it with a simple black top and some killer black satin Miu Miu pumps.

However, as much as I like this collection it does leave me a bit perplex as to the extent to which high street shops such as H&M and zara have started copying big house name. They no longer seem to even try and disguise the fact that they are simply making a cheaper and more affordable version of what designers showed during previous Fashion weeks. I actually don’t mind it as I believe that fashion really shouldn’t be so ridiculously expensive but then on the other hand the fact the high streets brands are simply loosing all imagination and creativity and just ‘copy – pasting’ with a hint of difference is quite worrying. Any thoughts?

I have had this stripped American Apparel dress fro a couple of year and have only worn it a bunch of times, but for some reason I just can’t seem to get rid of this particular one. When my friend asked me to borrow it and jumped to the occasion and thought it was a bout time I did a post on this dress. It has nothing really special about it appart from the fact that I find it really expensive for what it is. However, I do love a dress with good pockets and I have to say it is a great dress to be worn over and over again (and through all seasons) without screaming ‘this is the hundredth time I have been worn the same way’.

… rain and with rain comes… umbrellas, wellington boots and (this fall/winter) …Fedoras! I am a huge sucker for big scarf and hats, any hats will do. I had been on the hunt for the perfect velvet Fedora for this fall, not to small but not to huge as not to look like you have just come off the boot from Mexico. I found mine in H&M, Fashion Against Aids collection (sneak peak in previous post, HERE).

As always, the Fedoras were first spotted on the catwalks, and in the recent add campaigns, and the girls from the blogosphere have hopped on the trend again, and this time so did I. First up are my three favorite ways to wear it, plain black and white outfit like Elin, very laid back and cozy like Karen and brown with the ‘borrowed’ from the boyfriend’ look like Golestaneh.
