Autumn Tag!


So I tagged by my good friend Chloe over at Fashionablycoy, she is a newish blogger and you should defiantly go check her out! So she tagged me in doing the autumn tag which is obviously what today's post is gonna be!  

Favourite thing about Autumn?


So I think that my favourite things about autumn has got to be the fact that halloween is getting nearer, the nights are getting darker and me and my mum can watch horror movies all night! It dose mean also Christmas is getting closer too and oohhh my I am excited! 61 days I have you know! 

Favourite Drink?

I don't actually drink hot drinks anytime of year so it wont be a hot chocolate like most people but... is it weird that I drink Lemonade most at this time of year?? 

Favourite scent/candle?

This one is quite hard for me as my Mum and Dad wont let me burn candles in the house as they think that I would burn the house down.. which I most probably would! But I do have a candle which is a Yankee Candle in Fluffy Towels which I really like. I don't actually like warm spicy scents for this time of year cause they kinda make me feel sick!

Best lipstick?

Im not one for wearing lipstick I'm more of a lipgloss kinda gal! But I do like wearing a bold red or dark purple in this weather, and the red makes me feel all christmasy.. I know weird right ;) But if I had to chose on it would be Smooth Plum from Avon.

Go-to moisturiser?

My mum gave me Niveas Aqua Effect Moisturizing Day Cream not to long ago and I have been loving it! Dry skin is what I suffer with mostly in the autumn winter time and It just makes my skin feel sooo nice!

Go-to colour for the eyes?


I would say that I totally darken up my eyeshadow with more purples too! I also love using an Avon liner in Majestic Plum on my lash line too! Can we just take a moment to appreciate the name of that eyeliner tho!!

Favourite music to listen to?

My music taste tends to stay the same all year round, yes I listen to Christmas music all year round... why not!?! But lately I have been getting back into Fall Out Boy and their songs Phoenix and Young Volcanoes are my favourite! 


Favourite outfit to wear?

For the autumn time I still get hot so I'm not so much wearing jumpers and coats, but I love wearing my boyfriend jacket and chunky Chelsea boots. Oh and I also love wearing skirts and dresses with tights! And the other day I got some tights with fleece in and they are the softest things ever!

Autumn treat?

I would have to say it would be Halloween as it is my favourite time of year, and I have an excuse to watch horror movies over and over again! As well as carving pumpkins and dressing up too!

Favourite place to be?

I had to think about this one quite hard because I don't tend to go out to a specific place when in the Autumn time. However I will be cliché and say being inside in the warm when its cold and rainy outside.

So thats my Autumn tag I hope you liked! Don't forget go check out Chloe's blog and go follow her!! Here are the people I tag, and if I haven't tagged you personally then you can still do it and let me know if you do!

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?
