Hey guys!

Sorry it's been a while, believe me, it's been one stressful week :( Not to mention how freezing it's suddenly become! It's like the arctic here in London. The single positive we can find for this weather (excluding the run-up to christmas) is the fact that we can finally wrap up warm in our snuggly coats.

Everywhere you look as a blogger to research new trends, every catwalk will always style a range of coats for their AW13 collections. I've been doing some intense research to find out the coat trends this year. By the looks of it, it's either a boxy sixties-style coat, or a coat with heavy lapels, nipped in at the waist with a belt or tie. Both are so ladylike in their own way, so Paloma and I are super-happy, as androgynous or oversized really isn't our thing :) 

Collars of any sort are on trend, a peter pan like Paloma's detachable or a typical lapel, they are a must this season. Detatchable collars are everywhere at the moment, I came across a faux fur drape in Topshop for £25, might have a go at a DIY one, we shall see ;)

So get out there browsing! There are so many replicas on the highstreet, and plenty of faux furs, what do you think of the fur coat?

 I think you've all guessed the theme of this post right. So, Tartan is a HUMUNGOUS trend this AW13. Whether it's with a punky vibe pairing it with a leather jacket and biker boots, or going for a cutesy schoolgirl look, any type of check is bang on trend!

All you have to do is look at the catwalks to see what a huge tartan has had on the fashion industry this season. Mulberry, Prada, Celine...the list is literally endless!

Due to this, I decided to grab a pair of smart tartan trousers for sixth form, as today it was our first day back. I wasn't very keen on the bright red tartan, so i went for a more subtle green and navy check. Whereas Paloma has brought back her trusty vintage tartan scarf to add an edge to her look.

If I have one tip for you it would be to 'get some tartan in your life!'

Loads of love, Jess xxxx
