Fashion Inspiration: The Great Gatsby

As a fan of anything vintage, i have fallen head over heels in love with the A/W trend "1920's glamour" inspired by next years blockbuster "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. Here's the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rARN6agiW7o. This glamour filled movie is directed by one of my favorite directors Baz Luhrmann and is to come out next summer.This trend has not only enchanted me but also prestigious designers such a Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli and Marchesa. For a flapper inspired look aim for embellished pieces and strong head wear. Keep accessories simple and ladylike. Hope you like.

Ballet Trend

Ballet is one of my favourite style inspirations. Its timeless, elegant and fabulously girly! Based on pretty soft shades with loose styles and dreamy fabrics. Great films for inspiration is Black swan (obviously) and ballet shoes with Emma Watson. Ballet is a fab way to stay in shape and gain good grace and posture. And lets face it, how many little girl didn't want to be a ballerina!. Hope you enjoy them! Miss Louise xox

Outfit 1

Dress-River Island £20, Earrings-Republic £5, Headband-Rock N Rose £21, Cardigan-Dorothy Perkins £29.50, Ring-Republic £8, Brogues-Debenhams £35 

This is probably my favourite look! Based on two soft shades. The brogues and smart pearls give it a vintage edge, the cardigan will make the outfit look casual and soft and the flowers are just awesome! 

Outfit 2

Top-Dorothy Perkins £22, Shoe-Bank £18, Necklace-Etsy £20, Jeans-Topshop £40, Ring-Accessorize £6, Headband-Asos £12

This is a very casual look based on the traditional ballet colors. The flowering details on the accessories tie in nicely with the vintage style and the colourful necklace turn the outfit fresh and playful. Plus i love the shoes, they look so Chanel :)

Outfit 3

Dress-Nelly £49, Earring-Dorothy Perkins £3.50, Necklace-Debenhams £30, Shoes-Dorothy Perkins £25,  Headband -Asos £18, Clutch-New look £30

I cannot even begin to explain the love i have for this dress! Its romantic, its vintage and its so elegant! The roses are sweet and the lace shoes are just sooo beautiful!

Outfit 4

Body-Miss Selfridge £20, Iphone Case-Etsy £21, Skirt-Chicwish £28, Headband-Asos £12, Bag-Topshop £25, Necklace-Republic £7, Shoe-Topshop £7

This look is pretty casual but still pretty. The waterfall skirt is romantic and has a nice contrast with the tight body. The not-to-try-hard accessorizes are so pretty and the iphone case is just to gorge for words.

A/W Top 10 Must Haves

Summer is finally leaving (Although Scotland never seemed to get it!) and autumn is finally making an appearance. As a Scottish lass i personally love Autumn and winter for numerous soppy poetic reasons but mainly as i can put away the short, unflattering crops tops and denim shorts and take out my jumpers, cardigans and brogues and cover up. Here are my ten must haves for any wardrobe. If you like this, please leave a comment or follow. Either I will love you!
1)Jumpers

Topshop £38, Miss Selfridge £38, Matalan £20

A jumper is an obvious must. Dress it down with skinny jeans and for a vintage and unique look add a peter pan collar. I personally prefer more slouchy as its suits my body shape and feels comfortable. 

2) Brogues 

Debenhams £28, Dorothy Perkins £10, Debenhams £30

Brogues! These shoes are so versatile! Add to jeans or a dress for a sweet, vintage look. Try to avoid the long, pointy shaped brogues as they may be traditional, aren't the most flattening. 

3)Lace

Topshop £48, Miss Selfridge £35, Miss Selfridge £45

Lace is a great textile to dress up or down and perfect for autumn. 

4) Faux fur

                               

Asos £80, Accessorize £16, Asos £18

Faux Fur can be a fun trend to work with. I love the fur coat but going for one without ears can add a classy, old glamour look to an outfit. Just make sure it is faux!

5)Owls

Accessorize £12, Accessorize £40, Debenhams £28

Owls are really cute and on trend at the moment. Team with pale, neutral colors for a woodland trend.

6)Lipsticks

Accessorize £5, Lord And Berry £11, Smashbox £15.50

Now is the perfect time for dramatic statement make up and what better way to celebrate this with bold, sultry lips.Line lips with pencil and fill in with lipstick or lip pen. Keep eyes simple and lips bold for a dramatic look.

7)Ladylike Handbags

New Look £12.99, Accessorize £35, Topshop £49

Ladylike Bags are great for not only carrying all your stuff but keeping the classy sophisticated image. 

8)Gloves

Accessorize £22, Accessorize £12, Accessorize £22

Leather gloves will keep to the lady like trend or go for fun, colourfull novelty ones for a young, playfull look. Probably best accessory to accompany that look is a fun cheeky smile.

Topshop £165

A leather jacket will keep any outfit new and fashionable and is a must have item for any wardrobe. I would recomend splashing out a little for a leather jacket as they can look so much designer and high end than a cheap copy. 

10)Cardigan

Dorothy Perkins £29.50, Topshop £38, Dorothy Perkins £29.50

A cardigan is a must have as it can complete a layering look. I would recommend wearing this with a dress, thick tights and either brogues or military boot for a tougher look.
