Oh Hello Camo

Today marks the start of Autumn, well for me anyway. Today I bought my first AW12 wardrobe staple... a camo jacket. That’s right kids, camo is back, and it’s everywhere. It was all over the catwalks and it’s hitting down on the high street in all shapes and forms, from womenswear to menswear, jackets to wallets, you name it, it’s been camo-ed! I invested in the Topshop jacket, it’s an easy wear, ideal for autumn but also makes a great transitional piece, perfect to throw on over a summer dress on a August evening, with denim shorts and a tee at a festival, or with a chunky knit and boots as we verge in to the A/W season. There are so many ways to wear it, and the best thing is that it instantly brings every outfit up to date. Trends like this come and go, but rumour has it camo is planning on sticking around, it still has a huge presence in SS13 collections... my tip is to blend in with your surroundings this season and go camo.

Make a Statement

So the British Summer is coming to a close it seems, question is, was it ever here at all? But fear not, Zara, the high street genius that they are have kicked off their aw12 season with a dazzling new accessories range that could brighten up any day or old grey tee! It’s the perfect payday pick me up, with prices ranging from £15.99- £30 there’s more fluro and pearls than you could shake a stick at! Team them with plains or patterns, wear them casual or dressy, these are investment pieces that certainly won’t break the bank.
