Style for Style: How to Wear Tartan Skirt
So you've probably already taken my word for it that tartan is a trend and have seen it emerge on the High Street but when you get the items home, how do you actually wear it? Well I have taken on the task for you!
I picked a tulip shaped check skirt (£15) from Dorothy Perkins which I particularly liked because of the unusual shape.
Fab Follow Up: Tartan
For this week's Fab Finding challenge I asked you to put together a tartan ensemble. I started you off with this slouch beanie (£8) from Topshop and asked you to put together an outfit for the tartan trend.
Many of you tagged key tartan items which you can see here.
Come Fab Finding With Me: On Trend Tartan
There is a slight twist to this week's Fab Finding challenge. Instead of asking you to put an outfit together for an occasion, I am asking you to put together an outfit for a trend! Over the next few weeks I will be asking you to put together different outfits for Autumns key trends starting with tartan!
Trend Alert: Tartan
Classic heritage fabrics such as tweed, tartan and checks featured heavily on the catwalk for Autumn/Winter. Leading the way was British designer Henry Holland who created his own tartan pattern and based his entire House of Holland collection on the indigo fabric. The most memorable piece was a tiered tartan dress modeled by Henry's BFF Agyness Deyn.
I Want This Wardrobe: Serena van der Woodsen
On this week's episode of Gossip Girl we saw the girls return to school as Serena gives Blair a run for her money as Queen Bee.
At school the girls have a unique take on their uniform which included plenty of accessories for Isabel and Penelope, vintage lace for Blair, and a layered look for Serena. I like how she wore a biscuit coloured waistcoat over a plain white tee for a subtle contrast and kept accessories nude.
Style for Style: How to Wear Lace Tights
Last week I suggested ways to wear coloured-opaque tights, and today I'm continuing the tights focus with on-trend lace. Lace appeared on the catwalk at Prada where it shaped everything from skirts, dresses and handbags, but how does that translate to mere mortals like us, you ask?
There is a lot of lace on the High Street nowadays, but wearing them in the form of tights is an easy way to look stylish without going all out.
London Fashion Week A/W 2009: Vivienne Westwood
Vivenne Westwood may be 68 years old, but she hasn't lost touch with the kids. She closed the second day of London Fashion Week on Saturday with this St. Trinian's inspired collection filled with checked mini skirts, ties and dresses from school scarf fabric.
Look for Less: Ralph Lauren Plaid Satchel
This autumn's favourite trend, tartan is just starting to emerge on the High Street in the form of jackets, trousers and skirts. As I am attempting to not appear to the outside world as a full victim of fashion (even though you dear readers know the truth) I have decided to merely hint at the trend. Hinting at trends is easiest done through accessories so why not indulge in a tartan/plaid handbag?
Style for Style: Floral Tights
If you're bored of bright coloured tights, or if lace tights just aren't for you, maybe you're ready for the next challenge — floral tights. I've had a pair sitting at home for a while, but have been too nervous to try them on. Now that I've warmed to them, I thought I'd give them a shot and see what you think.
Back to Cool: Empire Records
With the current '90s grunge revival comes Dr Martens, tartan skirts and big knitted jumpers. When I see this look I can't help but think of classic '90s movie Empire Records starring Liv Tyler as Corey.
Corey is a bit clueless but adored by the oh-so-cute A.J.
