Five of the Best Gloves AW10-11 {Fashion}

Posted on by

You’ve got your faux fur, your cape, your hat with animal ears, it’s almost spring but not quite and there’s still a chill in the air. So chilly that writing emails on our berrys on the go becomes a chore too much. So what’s a girl to do for her frosty fingers? Well we’ve found 5 of the toastiest and we think you’ll like them too…

.

Asos “Mango Balm Bow” Glove, £38

If chic and ladylike is something you’d like to call your sense of style then these might be the ones for you. Leather with a press stud fastening and bows on the wrists.

.

.

Top Shop Rust Faux Fur Trim Cable Knit Gloves, £16

Old school nostalgia brought up to date with tactile faux fur trim. Thread them through your coat for that feeling of having never grown up.

.

.

Asos Sheepskin Gloves, £19

Want your digits to be extra warm? These will probably do the trick. Sheepskin gloves from Asos with a thick pile cuff. Like hugging a sheep, but with less confusion and bleating.

.

.

All Saints Ambrin Gloves, £25

These fine knit Cashmere/Wool gloves with ruching and tassle details are the sensible, stylish and yet somehow trendy option. Go smart, go casual, scrunch them up and pop them in your handbag without taking up too much room.

.

Miss Selfridge Grey Long Button Gloves, £10

These woolen gloves from Miss Selfridge will keep your hands and your wrists warm. They also come in black you say?

I Just Threw This On- Cape trend AW10-11 {Fashion}

Posted on by

The word ‘Cape’ conjours up images of masked super heroes. Thankfully the underwear-over-tights look hasn’t become fashionable, the cape was spotted at fashion weeks world wide and hugging celebrities in print.

.

If your arms are nice and toasty inside your cape then you may have to find a willing gentleman to carry your shopping. Wear them long and tailored instead of a traditional coat, knitted as a scarf replacement or caplets to bring your key pieces up to date…Once you get over the question of what you do with your arms there are so many options and here are just a few:

.

.

.

(above left) Next Black Cape, £40. Simple, smart and a great piece if you want to try the trend subtly.

(above centre) Miss Selfridge Vintage Lace Cape, £25. Sling on over a lbd for an up to date Christmas Party option or try with something black, long and ott for the gothic lolita in you.

(above right) Next Feather Cape, £25. Get the feather trend look without going overboard and nail the cape trend all in one piece.

(above left) Reiss ‘Candy’ Stitch detail black cape, £195. Leave people thinking “How did she do the zip up?” with this cleverly cut cape with front slits for your arms.

(above centre) Cooper & Stollbrand for Asos.com, £200. Wear it with jodhpurs and boots for an instant countryside look.

(above right) Genevieve Sibayan for Asos.com, £80. Does that name look familiar? That’s right…it’s my design (plug plug). I like their styling or wear it over a staple black coat for an instant update.

Lesson on Layering {Fashion}

Ah, the Great British obsession with the weather. Sometimes it’s too hot. Sometimes it’s too cold. Most of the time it keeps us guessing. But when the weather can’t make its’ mind up, don’t let that stop you from being prepared for all climates.

“What is the solution?”, I hear you ask. Layering. Let me show you how with these top 6 picks for this Autumn.

All Saints have a cool range of tees and vests with chilling graphic prints. This Theron Tee is £40.

This cardigan comes in a vast range of colours, from H&M. My favourite is ‘Light Camel Marl’, and at only £9.99 it’s a steal!

Emesha launches new collection at Estethica

Emesha is being heralded as the exciting, new sustainable brand to watch – and the collection will be shown for the first time in the UK at Estethica at London Fashion Week.

Emesha is the sporty-luxe label for the woman who does not want to compromise on style and quality. Experimental pattern cutting, draping and crisp tailoring techniques are combined to create clean silhouettes and feminine looks.

The covetable AW10 collection combines strong masculine and ultra feminine elements, representing the ever changing emotions of a woman – with inspiration coming from the emotional extremes of love and hate, happiness and sadness, soft and rough. These feelings are reflected in the mix of shapes, colours and fabrics, combining draping with cutting edge tailoring to all blend into a visually balanced collection.

The collection includes masculine pieces such as cargo pants and romantic feminine draping, with little black dresses to compliment the daywear pieces, all worn rough for an urban chic look. The colour palette includes khakis, blacks, greys, beiges and a touch of bright pink in a range of fabrics from soft silks to hard woolens.

Expert production skills result in a collection with superior attention to detail and the highest standard of quality, a veritable abundance of playful but wearable pieces.

Emesha Nagy founded her label Emesha in 2008 having graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2006 and was selected to show her graduate collection at the Swatch Alternative Fashion Week in London. Her previous experience includes working with Vivienne Westwood and Jasper Conran.

The Emesha label was launched in the United States at Nolcha Fashion Week, New York to exceptional reviews and Emesha Nagy noted as a “One To Watch” by Nolcha.

Emesha is fully committed to environmental and social responsibilities. The fabrics used are 100% natural, therefore fully bio-degradable. The brand’s mission is to always source new eco-friendly fabrics, use sustainable materials and recycle as much as possible. They aim to use recycled paper for letterheads and labels, and promote e-brochures to save paper waste.
