A statement piece

Coat | H&M here. Top similar here and Bag similar here | Topshop. Jeans | New Look similar here. Boots | Faith (old).

My regular life has finally resumed....yes I'm back at University and I couldn't be happier. The biggest student perk has to be Unidays student discount. Spontaneous shopping trips can often be the best and last Wednesday I found this beautiful oversized grey coat for the bargain price of £24.99. Plus Unidays gave me an added 20% off student discount giving me a staple winter piece for only £19.99!

The weather has cooled and I can say Autumn is in full swing. I teamed my new coat with a simple v neck tee, skinny jeans and a pair of knee high boots on this crisp Saturday morning.

Fendi SS15 

I haven't kept up to date with the Milan fashion shows (I'm a New york and London kinda gal) but after some much needed research I found a favourite - FENDI. 
The Fendi runway came alive this season. For the first time ever denim was on display and Karl had designed a new motif 'the orchid' seen throughout the collection. Everything from leather to pleats and embroidery to applique was strutted down the runway. A colour palette of black, blues, pinks and reds were used. Skirt hemlines were high and trousers loose but nipped in at the ankle. Favourite detail the leather applique. A carefully hand crafted collection - just perfection.

Skirt and Coat | H&M. Sweater, Bag and Shoes here | Topshop.

With the darker evenings creeping in it's getting more and more difficult to shoot outfit posts. Working weekends doesn't help but that's the life of a student. This outfit give's off that school uniform vibe that I seem to be loving lately. Finished off with the new Autumn/Winter staple 'the flat' and what resembles a doctors bag.

In other news I'm back at university this week and couldn't be more happier. (Its been a long summer)

New York SS15

Thakoon SS15

Palm tropical prints and loose silky soft pieces were all seen strutting down the runway at the Thakoon SS15 show in New York. Thakoon found inspiration from the 1959 movie 'Black Orpheus' the designer said this about the collection "exoticism through the eyes of a tourist." (style.com. 2014) 

The show's mood was set with slanted blinds that cast what looked like an early evening sunlight on the runway.

This collection reflects a beach wear vibe with brightly coloured tropical palm prints and loose silhouettes seen throughout. The perfect sartorial for any tropical location.
