A Fairytale of Fashion


Red Valentino is Valentino's sister, more contemporary and still pricey but more affordable line. Inspired by Hansel and Gretel, the Autumn/Winter 2013 designs fuse folkloric prints with girlish silhouettes and super-short everything. It's signature pieces include embroidered jersey t-shirts and tulle party dresses for the younger, while all still showing the Valentino sophistication.

Top 10 Fashion Trends for Autumn/Winter 2013

Like every season comes and goes so does fashion and with each season comes new trends. It's all about what key pieces to invest in to make your wardrobe more suitable to the new season. So to make your shopping a little easier I've picked the top 10 new season trends. 

1 Pink 

Pink is the colour of Autumn/Winter, from dusky pinks to flirty fuchsia. It's going to be a must have for the season. So go all out girlie for winter. 





2 Oversized Sweatshirts

Sweatshirts are in and bigger is better. Wear it with a pencil or full midi skirt which are both key to this season. Or just pair with your fave boyfriend ripped jeans and stilettos for a casual but funky feel.





3 Shine

High shine fabrics are still on trend through to Autumn/Winter. H&M have this amazing pink midi skirt already giving you 3 key trends in one. Pink, midi and high shine. Wear this with a plain tee and statement necklace or a sweatshirt for a cute feel.



4 Animal Print

This is one trend that won't die. Weather it's a funky clutch, stilettos or boots and even just a hint of animal in a skinny waste belt for those who don't dare. Animal print is here to stay. Loving these stilettos from River Island.



5 Florals

Flowers have gone all dark for winter. Bright blues and vivid reds against darker colours will bring a hint of spring into your winter months. 



6 Leather

Autumn/Winter catwalks went crazy for leather. Wear a funky leather dress to take u from work to night. Or if you don't want to leatherise yourself too much try a pair of leather shorts. 






7 Camouflage

Camo is big next season coming in silk and feminine feel materials. These fab tops are by a Danish label Baum Und Pfertagarden. 





8 Houndstooth 

Wear houndstooth in a cute dress, skirt or jacket to keep with catwalks of 2013. Zara as always are bang on trend with this cute dress and cosy jacket online now.

  





9 Investment Bag

Bags are the most used accessory you will ever have so why not invest. My fave Autum/Winter bag is The Big Crush in heart print calfskin for Burberry. I love everything about it from the size, the colour and cuteness of the heart animal print bringing in another trend of winter. It also comes in a cute clutch. 





10 Tartan Punk

Punk rules the runway this season, so go crazy for leather and tartan with studs and boyish boots. Rock this look with a bit of denim and tartan skirt. As always Zara is bang on trend. Loving this tartan mini.
