A/W 2013 Trend: Dark Florals

Floral prints are a staple part of anyone's wardrobe and this A/W they're sticking around, this time with a grown-up, dark romantic twist. What I love about this trend is that I can wear florals without fearing I look too girly or prim and proper (I'll always be a tomboy at heart). Luxurious, deeper shades offset by blacks takes florals from pretty to glamorous, and fabrics such as velvet, silk and leather inject a dose of drama, perfect for the party season. I've found some gorgeous pieces that will take you from the office to the club and back again, this is a trend not to miss. I'll definitely be investing in the gorgeous matching pencil skirt and bomber jacket from boohoo, will you guys be embracing this trend?

Sports Luxe

A trend that's sticking around season to season seems to be sports luxe, perfect as I never feel guilty for purchasing so much of it! With all the A/W lines hitting the shops and online I've been trawling my favs for investment buys and next seasons wardrobe (plus it's my birthday soon so I've been making an extensive wishlist, ha!). Boohoo is my one-stop online shop to find key pieces at prices that won't break the bank, so you can imagine my glee when I went on to find their homepage plastered with A/W line "Future Sports"! Athletic inspired attire that looks clean, cool and elegant, I can guarantee you'll want as much as me!

Staple Skirt

My jaw dropped when I saw this amazing skirt, then it hit the floor when I saw that it was only £5.69!!!! A staple mini skirt with a gorgeous print, I must be kidding right? Nope. Available on wholesale website banggood, you'll find this, and loads of other treats at unbelievable prices. The price per wear of this skirt will be pennies as the luxe print in a staple style will take you from season to season, and you can dress it up or down!
