Falling for Pre Fall 13...

The problem with the Pre-Fall collections, is they always show during the colder winter months... thus, making me lust for new pieces to add to my current winter closet, instead of having to wait! I'm insanely impatient.

Here are some of my favourite collections:

3.1 Philip Lim

Chloe

Celine

Stella McCartney

Tibi

One thing that the Pre-Fall collections are super handy for is to help plan future purchases. A lot of the styles here, are very similar to current AW12 and SS13... perfect for building a transeasonal wardrobe.

These collections really seemed to flow on effortlessly from the trends this winter and the upcoming trends for SS13, as well as containing many 'Essential Wardrobe' pieces; which makes it super easy to build a classic and 'trend-led' wardrobe.

As well as the classic pieces, a few recurring styles that caught my eye were:

Monochrome, stripes, panelling, leopard print, sports luxe, bomber jackets, peplum, deconstruction, leather, oversized crombie coats, suiting...

A few of them have been around for a while now (peplums / sports luxe) but it seems these are the things to invest in now over Spring/Summer that will take you through to next winter.

I will definitely be investing in a few of these styles!

Here's to 2013...

2012 was a whirlwind of a year...

With finishing my degree, moving back to London and jumping feet first in to the big bad career world; I've not had much time to just relax.

This time last year, I made my New Year Plan (here)... I don't make resolutions, never have, never will I'm afraid; I do however, make goals!

Goals for 2012:

To graduate with a First - CHECK!
To get a good job once graduated - CHECK!
To look after my health/skin/hair etc - CHECK!
To get my tattoo - NOT YET...
To go on Holiday - CHECK!
To carry on building my wardrobe of clothes & accessories - CHECK!

I nearly fulfilled all my goals for this year and number 4. will be added to my list for 2013.

As it worked so well last year, I have some new goals for 2013.

Goals for 2013:

To re-decorate the house
To get a tattoo
To reach my goal weight/body (healthily)
Organise my finances - after 4 years of uni, this is a must! I aim to be super frugal this year, you might even find me at a few Car Boot sales!
To take part in DRYATHALON - I signed up today to raise money for Cancer Research, no alcohol/fizzy drinks for January - my page is here.
Blog more...
Get out of my make-up rut/Be more daring with make-up (wear more lipstick etc)

There are also some silly goals I'd like to throw in there, for example to get a puppy or own a Celine bag... a girl can dream!

I have lots to look forward to this year, including my new baby sibling arriving in May! I definitely intend to make this year one of the best...

Now I'm off to nurse my hangover and enjoy the last of my lazy days before heading back to work later this week.

Here are some words to inspire you for 2013.

Style Steal: Denim Shirt

Style Steal: Denim Shirt by bea-atreides featuring leather leggings

River Island blue shirt / Leather legging, £47 / Michael Kors jewelry / CÉLINE cateye sunglasses

I have been admiring denim shirts for a while, from afar.

The problem is that I need to find the right shape, unfortunately having a 'chest' is not very fashion friendly and some styles can make me look like a frump!

I fell in love with this look straight away, simple and classic.

This denim shirt from River Island is great, mixing different washes, giving a classic piece a little twist.

I desperately need a new pair of leather leggings, my old Topshop ones (2 years) are finally giving up on me, however, I have worn them to death. So, I'd happily invest in Topshop again.

I'd team the look with classic accessories and clashing metals.

These Celine sunglasses are amazing and have been on my wishlist for a while now!
