The ULTIMATE AW16 Shopping Edit

Hey babes! I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been going through one of those phases where I want EVERYTHING, in all the stores. I blame all the exciting newness dropping for AW16, even though I have enough winter knits and party dresses I can’t help but having a cheeky peruse for new pieces. As I can’t buy everything I want for this upcoming season (I’d need to take out all sorts of loans!), I thought I’d condense some of my favourite trends for your shopping pleasure, and between us we can have all the schmancy new things!

There’s an unwritten rule that each new Winter season must be seen in with the purchase of a cosy new knit, because how else are you going to get pumped about the plummeting temperatures? I’m loving basic neutral hues and blush tones that put the focus on luxe fabrics and cosy silhouettes – Missguided have some fab options and Boden are heading the pack when it comes to staple pieces.

When is velvet not in fashion come Autumn/Winter? The party-perfect staple has upgraded from the classic LBD to pretty much anything; trousers, boots, you name it, it probably comes in velvet. I can never resist a statement pair of boots so my top pick is a snazzy pair in coloured velvet as an easy nod to the trend.

Anything lacy, satiny, and all round pretty, and I’m in love. Underwear as outerwear doesn’t seem to be going anywhere as a trend, and barely there lingerie has been seriously upgraded in all sorts of intricate patterns and styles this AW. Whether you’re dressing for the boudoir or styling up the trend for a night out, it’s seriously chic (with more than a hint of sexy!).

Which is your favourite trend this season? What are the big Autumn Winter buys you’re looking to invest in?
