Autumn/Winter 2010

Its the middle of summer, well british summer anyway so not exactly the carribean, but its summer, and if you take a look round your local shopping centres, parks, restaurants you'll see people wearing their on trend summer 2010 clothes: nude/ice cream colours, underwear as outerwear, tribal, white cotton, ruffles, chiffon and jumpsuits, you will be able to spot them all. However, in the shiny bubble that is the fashion world, everyone who is anyone in fashion is already preparing for Autumn/Winter 2010. So, to help you plan ahead here are some of the trends EVERYONE will be wearing next season, you wouldn't want to find that must-have fur coat is sold out, would you? Take action now!


1. The Cape- Seriously, if you buy one new item for next season make it a cape, they are warm, cosy and have that Royal feel about them. This £160 French Connection cape is wool and cashmere blend, the perfect cosy cover up for those chilly days- Consider it an investment!







2. The New Maxi Dress- Maxi Dresses aren't just for summer, next season they are chiffon worn with a tassled belt. Wear them with fur gilet's to keep warm. Look for floral, smudges or faded prints! This exclusive Topshop maxi dress, £195 ticks all the boxes.












3. Smart Trousers- trousers are back in fashion next season, make sure yours are leg-lengthening, wide leg and wear them with heels a skinny belt and a blouse (tucked in of course). Choose designer look wool trousers to emphasise the tailoring, these are so easy to wear and flatter any figure.

Welcome to my blog!

Hi, welcome to my blog, Learning To Fly- With Style (I have called it this because it is about the different fashion and styles that influence me as I find my own style) . I have decided to keep my name anonymous so I can be more honest, but I have a lot of things I would like to discuss with you. I have set up this blog as a diary so I can share my thoughts with you and my interests in fashion, beauty and celebrities. There is nothing I am more interested in than fashion so I also want to share any tips I read about fashion, make-up and beauty so we can all use them. I read all the magazines, watch all the beauty TV programmes and I am on the never-ending search for the perfect mascara! I would love to read any comments you have about my blog or anything you would like to say about the topics I cover. I hope you enjoy reading it!
