When it comes to winter outfits, we tend to sink into what we know, aka black, navy and grey, white roll necks and black ankle boots. This year, I want to encourage you guys to embrace one of my favorite fall-winter trends of the season; COLOR! Instead of reaching for your standard black jeans, opt for one of these color combinations instead! I’m highlighting some of the trending color combinations for the season that are sure to take you all the way to spring 2020. I promise it’s sure to make any fall-winter outfit you wear look so much more luxe as well.

Yellow & Blue

I would make sure that either one or both of the colors is a pastel shade to make this classic combination look chic. I went for pastel shades in both for my outfit. Don’t forget that denim is also blue, and a great thing to rock this time of year!

Pink & Red

This is one of my favorite combinations of all time and it’s incredibly chic. Both these colors are trending for the season and you can go bold with both. Try to pair a bright pink fuchsia with a bright red to really try something high fashion. You can also pair a maroon or brown with an old rose for something more subtle. Either way, have some fun!

Lilac & Brown

We know that purple is not my favorite color but I am partial to a good lilac shade. This combination is all about the shades – the lighter purple and the deepness of the brown always look super expensive and lux. This is a favourite of most fashion forward girls and I guarantee you will fall in love with it. Work in cream accessories to really get a luxe look!

The easiest way to make any outfit look more expensive is with the right accessories. One of the biggest fashion trends to make a comeback is the headband, which also happens to be one of the easiest ways to make your next winter outfit look more luxe. The best part? You don’t have to break the bank to get the look! I’ve been reaching for headbands since I was a little girl (I wore on every day!) and although my friends poked fun at me about them all through school, I knew that one day they would all be reaching for one too. (Yes, I was even called Blair Waldorf regularly because of them but whatever, I was always Team B anyways)

Now you’ll find the headband on your favourite street style stars at fashion week (who’s been keeping their eyes on Paris Couture Week?) and across the runway at the likes of Prada, Miu Miu and Dior. Whether you’re looking for a basic one to get you started, a beautiful pearl one for something special or a lush velvet one like this, there’s something for everyone and they are usually under £50 (Of course you can get ones that are over if your budget allows! The Prada one’s are amazing). Now that’s an accessory to stock up on! The one I’m wearing is from Fenwick’s on Bond Street; they have a fab selection if you are ever in the area!

The best part about headbands is that they are the simplest way to complete an outfit. I wore this look to London Fashion Week a few seasons ago but it looks totally different, and so much better, just by adding the headband! If you’re wondering how to wear a headband, I recommend pushing your hair back with it and then pushing it slightly forward to get that slight puff in your hair. I’ve linked to a whole selection of them below, ready for you to shop!

You wake up in the morning, you look outside and you realise that winter is still very much here and although it seems almost unbearable that spring is still a while away, don’t let the dreary weather get you down! I know how easy it can be to fall into a January style rut, but I also know how easy it is to step right out of it, and in a fresh winter outfit too! If you’re stuck for cute winter outfit ideas and are wondering what to wear in January in the middle of winter no less, I have just the set of tips for you. The best part? It does not require a brand new wardrobe.

The secret to always being in love with your wardrobe is not to constantly buy new things, but rather to buy smartly and to know how to style those pieces over and over again. So here are a few tips to find the spark in your wardrobe once again:

Try a Contrast
The great thing about your favourite pieces is that there is always a new way to style it. If you have a skirt that is incredibly feminine, try it with something a little edgier. Have a really sporty hoodie? Match it with some super sleek trousers. Work in an unexpected contrast! (Remember this skirt from my NYE insta? Quite a makeover!)

Go For A Colour
It’s very easy to reach for that black turtleneck, with the black jeans and the black coat, with the black coat. Seems to go well with the grey weather right? Wrong! Add in a touch of colour, even if it is neutral like khaki.

Accessories Are Your Friends
I feel like my motto should be “Don’t underestimate a good accessory” considering how much I say it! A great pair of boots or a fabulous chain belt can instantly make that old sweater and jeans combo look new again. That’s why I always say investing in good accessories is a must!

So, how are you re working your old favourites? Comment below with an outfit that is making you feel great this January!

Why You Need This Sweater In Your Wardrobe Now

The Sweater You Won’t Be Able To Do Without…

Although we are well into winter, I know that so many of you, me included, can’t help but long for spring. The whole sweater, bottoms and boots outfit combination can start to feel a little old after you’ve been doing it for a few months right? Well, it doesn’t have to be! The perfect sweater outfit takes the perfect sweater of course, and the perfect sweater is sure to make any winter outfit feel fresher and more stylish! Might as well have some fun before spring get’s here right? That is exactly why you need this sweater in your wardrobe right now.

What I love most about this piece is that it’s a statement without being too in your face. The puffy sleeves add such a great point of interest to any outfit, immediately making any look chicer. I guarantee that even if you were to pair this sweater style with jeans, you would look just like a model of duty. The colour is so versatile and you could create so many fun and new outfits with just one piece. That is when you know that a piece of clothing is worth it when you can wear it a hundred different ways!

Since the sweater is slightly oversized I paired it with a straight mini skirt, in the plaid of course. I wanted to add a bit more definition to the look since I am so petite. A waist belt was the perfect way to do that all the while making this the perfect outfit for a desk to drinks kind of day! You could rock this outfit with thigh high boots or even riding boots but I, of course, could not resist my combat boots for this particular one. I shot this before I got my Church’s pair, but they would go so perfectly don’t you think?

How would you style this sweater?
