Fashion Forecast - Autumn 2014 - Festival Folk!

 So to start off with the different trends this Autumn time, (which is always my favourite time for fashion!) it is pretty the Summer festival trend but just transitioned for the colder days! We'll be seeing a lot of the same floral bohemian prints, flowy garments and neutral colours. A lot of different designers have incorporated sheepskin, suede and leather to their collections which adds to the folk look! The prints are very much country inspired, florals and Aztec type prints which are usually embroidered onto the garment.


This look was seen across lots of different runways with such designers as Tommy Hilfiger, Pucci and Burberry Prorsum, which were my favourites!

Tommy Hilfigers collection is more casual and chilled compare to the other two designers. I really like how everything is very fresh and clean cut, there's nothing too floaty and the garments are very structured. Leather, sheepskin and suede was see throughout the collection, especially within his coats and jackets like above. I also like how he has used very Autumnal colours but adds in the odd teal blue, and vibrant orange which catches your eyes instantly! There was only a few distinctive patterns in the collection, the first obvious one is checkers and tartan like above. I love how each one has different sized lines/squares and how there are multiple colours. The second pattern is the Aztec print, but only subtly, which helps to give that ski wear look.
Next is Pucci which is a lot more glam, with the dresses being heavily embroidered and with much wilder prints. There is a lot of fur being seen, from a small amount on the collar to a whole coat or vest being made. I love the intricate and detailed patterns, which takes a very geometric form, I also like the colour combinations they used in the prints. However, I do feel that some of the prints can be too much especially on the jumpsuit in picture no.6 I feel like only the top or bottom should have a print and the other be a block colour to even it out! The colours are very neutral, a lot of dark browns are used and mostly with the leather. They have also added the vibrant orange just like Tommy Hilfigers, this colour could be very big this Autumn!

Lastly its Burberry which never fail to impress me! I've seen a lot of ponchos in this collection which I really like as they have re-invented it with new prints and fabrics, my favourite one is suede on one side and fur on the other. Burberry's garments are a lot more flowy than the other two, which is nice to see, the have the bohemian shape and colours but with an abstract print. I like the tone of yellow which they have incorporated as I didn't see it too much and I kinda like it especially with the floral print they paired with it. 

So do you guys like this trend for Autumn, what's your thoughts on it? Let me know below! Also who's your favourite collection you've seen for A/W 2014?

Quick And Easy Boho Hair Style - With Clip Hair Extensions!

So today I am going to be showing you a super easy and quick boho inspired hair style, which is great for summer especially with this head band I've found in New Look! Its so easy that it only takes 5 minutes and looks like you've taken a lot of time, when you haven't!
 So first I start with putting in my extensions I got sent from clip hair, you can check out their website here - http://www.cliphair.co.uk/  They have so many amazing products and a variety of lengths, colours and types of extensions too! As you can see mine are a lot lighter than my actual hair, but my hair colour is just too awkward to find the perfect match. I got the 20" Inch Full Head Remy Clip in Human Hair Extensions, and the great thing about these is that you can straighten, curl them but not too much of course! Also you can dye them if you change your hair colour too which I might do with mine to make them darker.

I am wearing two one weft and two of the smaller 3 weft hair extensions, this is because I only have a small head and they seamed to fill up my head nicely and it looks even throughout. I curled my hair and the extensions first, and curling the extensions were super easy and too really well to the styling.
1. First I put on my head band which I got from New Look for only £3.99 they have so many cute ones for so cheap too! You can totally do this look with out  a head band too.
2. You want to section off 2 pieces either side your part for a fringe, I like to have these pieces of hair to frame my face nicely.
3. Next take a section of hair about an inch wide, this should be the hair in front of your ear.
4. Then with that hair plait it, but do it going away from your face this so that when you pull it back it lies flat and smooth. 
5. Before I pin the plait I too pull at it gently to make it bigger and more prominent.
6. I then bobbie pin it over the band so that you can not see it. You will also have to pull and pin it tight so that it dose not slip and fall down.
7. I do this to both sides of my head and then you will be left with a little strand of hair.
8. With this strand I tucked it behind the other plaits so that you can't see them.  
I then just sweep it to the side a there you go! You can also do other styles with the hair that's down, for example...
Plait it to the side or...
In two pony-tails!

So if your looking to get hair extensions for the length or to add thickness defiantly check out Clip Hair, like I said they have amazing products and the customer service is brilliant everyone is super nice and very happy to help. So if you have any questions just email them because they will email you back straight away!

So I hope you enjoyed this post, it's a little different to what I normally do so I hope you like! If you would like to see how I curl my extensions let me know because I will happily do a video and blog post for you guys! So until next time have an awesome amazing day...
