HOW TO NAIL YOUR AUTUMN STYLE

It's coming towards the end of September - already! As the days begin to grow colder and brisker, It feels like that time of year for a good wardrobe refresh and truly kickstart the season ahead. I'm definitely one to recycle clothing and keep wearing certain items loads if they are investment worthy and timeless pieces. To me, this is the perfect way to nail your own Autumn transitional style, so I thought I would share some of those classic pieces with you...

THE TOPSHOP SPACE SHIRT

 Happy Friday! 

Every now and again you find something in a store that you just need to buy. This Topshop space shirt definitely brightened up my week, who doesn't love some celestial stars on their back?

SEPTEMBER TRANSITIONAL STYLE

I always enjoy the challenge of finding my transitional style during those awkward seasonal changes. What colour palette will make up the must-have trend? Which print will rival the likes of the year before? It's always a question of what will work and what will fail. This September, I'm loving teal and fallen back in love with the ever-versatile leather jacket. So, I pieced together this gorgeous Topshop wrap dress with none-other than a faux leather jacket from Primark to tide me over before investing in a real one that would last longer.
