From snake print to gingham…these are the stylish pieces you NEED this week
This week, our Fabulous Daily Editor, Joely, talks all things stylish
#TRENDING: SNAKE PRINT
I have always been a fan of leopard print. To me, it’s a neutral.
In the same way I often hear people say "get it in black, it goes with everything", I think the same about animal print.
And a leopard never changes its spots, right? Wrong.
Because this season, I’ve become a snake.
No, not in the acting shady sense, but in the literal sense.
Snake print is this autumn’s biggest trend as those sexy scales are cropping up on everything from chic blouses to ankle boots. And I want it all.
During my desperate need to update my wardrobe for the new season, I have been inexplicably drawn to the high street’s great selection – and it won’t break the bank.
But for anyone feeling a little scared at the thought of looking like a weathered cowgirl lassoing her way to the fashion police, don’t panic.
Take a tentative walk on the wild side with a snake print shoe to give a subtle nod to the trend.
Or slither into a snake midi dress teamed with accessories in bright colours or clashing prints.
MY SO-CALLED FASHION LIFE
This month, I had a big birthday and immediately went into panic mode.
I had a couple of events including a party and family lunch, plus a mini break away.
When it came to something a little dressier for the evening, this Topshop number ticked all the boxes.
The intricate embroidery, flattering shape and sleeves (YES, SLEEVES! Thank you, fashion gods) meant it was a must for my suitcase.
CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT...Blake Lively's power suits
We are on the cusp of a new season and whilst that means waving a sad goodbye to flimsy frocks, it does mean a fresh load of trends.
And I can’t help but crush on the power suit. Particularly Blake Lively wearing the power suit.
This week alone, the 30-year-old Gossip Girl star has worn not one, but SIX different suits.
And you can forget a boring workwear two-piece, each look has been as eccentric, stylish and downright impressive as every girlboss outfit should be.
Earlier this week, we told you about the mind-boggling inside-out jeans with tights attached - and they're a crime against fashion.
We also showed you how to brighten up your wardrobe with oranges, lemons and limes this autumn.
And we showed you ASOS's summer Simpsons collection – including cossies and even a BIKINI.
