animal print and tartan trends for an Autumn transition

As hard as it seems to even imagine Autumn and Winter clothing when there is a tropical heat wave going on outside. But, as sad as it sounds, Autumn is approaching in the eyes of fashion, as nearly all highstreet shops have been adding new collections into their stores, it's time to accept the truth and It's always better to be over prepared than under, right? Below I've added two of my favourite Autumn and Winter trends you can slowly build into your current Summer wardrobe. 

Crazy for Cheetah 

One trend which seems to be going no where fast is ANIMAL PRINT, of course, its lasted 2 seasons already and prints such as leopard and cheetah are looking to last one more. Any loud prints are totally in this season, and I've found a few items which you could use to embrace the trend, subtly or all out...

Dress and Blouse - Never Fully Dressed & Earrings - Zara

Trend Report - Denim Jackets & Double Denim

Double Denim? The Denim Jacket?

You may be thinking, really Nic? a denim jacket is a classic piece of clothing which never really goes out of fashion. TRUE, however, I slightly beg to differ, as simple as it may sound, a big trend will be detail. Oversized, Over detailed and Overly Deconstructed denim jackets are in my opinion going to be a huge trend for SS18. 

With celebs like Kendall Jenner and Kim K sporting the item of clothing, and with many retailers jumping on the band wagon, I believe the denim jacket will be a big hit this season & you heard it here first... (probably not but lets pretend you did for my sake).

Last Summer I searched high and low for a light blue wash denim jacket, looking for an oversized in a boxy fit way, and stiff enough that it would not sag (oh I hate a sag). After having no luck, it seems like this year they are everywhere, you literally can't miss them. 

My Blogger Inspiration

So as an avid blog reader I thought I'd write a post that I would like to read for myself which is my Feb Favourite Fashion Bloggers for 2018 (so far).

I, like I'm sure many people, have their favourite fashion bloggers on Instagram which are incredibly inspiring in terms of style and even aesthetic. I love finding new influencers to follow on Instagram, and many times I've typed in "top 10 fashion bloggers" into google search and all thats come up are the common insta blogger gals who have billions of followers, not that I'm hating on anyone as their pages are amazingggg (hence the billions of followers) but there are so many hidden gems out there which not that many people have found yet.
SO I am here to show you some.

So here we go...

Trend Report - Leopard Print

My Trend Report for Autumn / Winter 2017 says everything leopard print, despite it being an eternal trend, if you told me this time last year I'd be wearing leopard print I would have laughed in your face, and would deffo have said "who do you think I am? Kat Slater?". Maybe its my tastes that are changing, but Leopard has become a print many famous faces, and retailers are embracing, It adds a pop of colour to a dull winters outfit.
