Hey everyone!

 

Hope that everyone had a good halloween, what did people dress up as? This weeks twist on the trend went all gothic, as we attempted to style the 'vampy' trend which is very big for winter. I have never styled the gothic look before, and didn't really have much in my wardrobe to suit it, because it is a bit of my comfort zone, but it was really fun styling the trend! I loved in particular wearing a darker shade of lippy than I normally would to fit in the trend, and will definitely be sporting 'oxblood' lips again this winter! Hope you enjoy the other girl's twists on the trend, be sure to read more over on their blogs!

 

Lots of love, Paloma xxx

Hey everyone! Heres the third 'Twist on the trend' to feature on our blog, this week we chose to style the A/W 2012 trend of leather, something which I previously would have been too scared to try!

 

Leather is huge for autumn, with everything leather from skirts to jackets popping up on the highstreet. It was a great trend to style, have a look at how the other girls styled it over on their blogs! Definitely worth a read :)

 

More on how we styled the trend:

 

 Jess is wearing: Top- New Look, Leggings- H&M, Boots- Primark, Jacket- F&F

Paloma is wearing: Shirt (worn underneath)- H&M, Jumper- Mercer and Madison, Leggings- H&M, Chelsea Boots- Primark

 

Neither me or Jess have really attempted the leather trend before now, so were really excited to try and have a go at styling it!

 

Jess went for a monochrome, teaming her bold print top with boots and a leather jacket, creating a great autumn look.

 

I wore my leather-esque leggings and new purchase chelsea boots(I have been looking for a pair for ages!) with a collar and box jumper to give the look a more casual feel :)

 

How has eveyones week been? No Great British bake-off has finished- what do I do with myself on tuesday evenings now?! I think this may call for some therapy baking!

I also got the cutest little hamster last week, she is called Ayla, after one of my favourite songs by the Maccabees :)

First Love- The Maccabees

Hey everyone!

Here is this week's Twist on the Trend (where a bunch of us bloggers style the same trend in different ways!). This weeks trend was Band tees, which I absolutely love! And looking at how well the other girls styled them, they are definitely a versatile item and a must have in any wardrobe! (and they have such good music taste!)

 
Paloma is wearing a T-shirt which she made herself using fabric pens. It has the lyrics on it from her favourite song, First Love by The Maccabees.
Vest top-Forever 21, Maxi skirt- Peacocks, Shoes- Primark.

Jess is wearing a Vaccines tshirt which she bought from their online merchandise store (it had a picture of the Vaccines on it and is from one of their tours...they are amazing!)
Top- Vaccines Merchandise, Trousers- New Look, Cardigan- River Island, Shoes- Primark.

Band t-shirts is a major trend this season. Whether it's Ramones, Nirvana or The Rolling Stones, vintage band t's are perfect for this chilly but not freezing weather, when you cant be bothered to make an effort but still want to look casual-cool. These can be teamed with anything from slouch jeans to maxi skirts depending on the look you're going for.
What are you waiting for???? Go out and get one as they NEVER go out of fashion :)

Loads of love, Jess and Paloma :) xxx
