OOTD - Outside My Comfort Zone!

Bit of a late post! I've had such a hectic day...starting with a traumatising driving lesson! They should just make reversing round a bend illegal! That way we wouldn't have to go through the stress of learning how to do it!

Anyway I tried an outfit out today which was well outside of my comfort zone! I really like the street-chic oversized jumper and collar combo which I've seen at the Fashion Weeks. I teamed a plain grey jumper from Store Twenty One with a TK Maxx blue check shirt, H&M stripy skirt, tights from Next and New Look patent brogues. Adding extra trends I wore a statement, pastel-flower necklace which was from Primark and a monochrome bangle. I've never worn so many trends at once but felt warm, comfy and cool simultaneously so it worked for me! I'll definitely be investing in more oversized jumpers very soon...

I love the 'Let Your Jumper Hollar With A Smart Collar' blog post by Miss Olivia - Zara - it sort of sums up my love for the look. Click to read: http://livvyy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/let-you-jumper-hollar-with-smart-collar.html

London Fashion Week - "Front Row Favourites"

Casually still obsessing over the Fashion Weeks, I was reading the online ed of Vogue to find their "Front Row Favourites" feature! It got me thinking what my fave celeb spots were from the Fashion Weeks and where I could get there show-stoppin' style...

 

 

 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley attending the Burberry Prorsum Show at London Fashion Week,

Rachel Zoe at her own New York Fashion Week Show,

&

Jourdan Dunn at the London Topshop Show

were my top 3 coolest looks.

 

It was so hard to chose bearing in mind Rita Ora sported that gorgeous 90s bob at the Burberry Prorsum Show and Miley Cyrus rocked that beautiful berry jumpsuit.

 

Now for the fun stuff; let's convert Rosie, Rachel and Jourdan's style to wearable pieces from the British high-street and online stores -

 

Rosie:

 

 

 

Fuschia Blazer & Trousers - ZARA

Black Strappies - ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Black Clutch - INTERNACIONALE

 

Rachel:

 

 

 

Black Velvet Trousers - PETER HAHN

Black Silk Blouse - PETER HAHN

Faux Feather Fur Gilet - GODDIVA

Classic Rachel Zoe Black Platform Boots - CHOCKERS

Statement Necklace - ACCESSORIZE

 

Jourdan:

 

 

Paisley Top - URBAN OUTFITTERS

Camel Leggings - AMERICAN APPAREL

Blue Eye Colour - BARRY M

 

What do you think? I love the simplicity of Rosie's boardroom to red carpet look but at the same time can't get enough of Rachel's busy ensemble. Velvet trousers are difficult to pull off so they may be worth styling before buying!

Obviously it's Jourdan's colour-pop eyes that steal the show from her outfit but I think this navy paisley would work so well with the camel leggings and Barry M eyeshadow!

MSN at London Fashion Week – Rihanna’s River Island Launch

From the slight glimpses of the megastar singer's new River Island collection I'm mildly relieved! Who would have thought that Rihanna's designs would be so wearable?! Athough risky in places, Rihanna's collection looks set to be the big high-street thing since the Kardashian Kollection.

 

I'm wondering though, will it only be for the super slim? I couldn't help but notice a lot of thin straps, loose necklines and extremely short hemlines which leads to my question: can us curvy females wear it?!

I guess we shall see in March!
