Good evening dear BeYOUties! Unfortunately It's nearly the end of August! :( Summer is soon waving goodbye and the transition into autumn is lingering, so nows the chance to update your wardrobe with a fresh new look. Brush up now and you'll be top of the class come autumn! Autumn is my personal favourite season in terms of fashion,I'm definitely not a fan of the typical cold weather!! Fact: us British are much more stylish in the autumn/winter rather than the summer as we are much more suited to the cold climate. So let's get started, the collages were made by myself combining 2 different types of trends and give you a variety of items from phone cases to shoes to skirts to makeup, suiting this autumn's style.
Our first two trends are All that glitters and shades. Glitter and sequins play a big part in our autumn lookbook this year and the glittery the better! Mix funky and sparkly patterned accessories with pretty, sequinned pastels on top. Don't forget the glittery eyeshadow, nail varnish or lipgloss and pair them with chunky diamanté necklaces.Don't be afraid to contrast darker colours with the glitter, anything pretty much goes this season! Shades are also in even though the sun sadly won't be out as much, but bring back those retro shaped frames or tone it down with some laid back Sunnys. Colour blocking can work so add em with any outfit and you're ready to go.
Next to wow you, are the two main colours of the season: red and lime. If you have been shopping recently you might've noticed this new colour palette emerging on the rails with a flash of nude, musky pink and tan. Instead of the traditional purple, red has taken center stage this autumn alongside playful checks and garish cartooned patterns eg the moschino range mimicking McDonald's fast food. You can go from primary red all the way to the dark luxurious berry red this autumn, there are no rules. Choose a simple lipstick, bag or shoes if you're not ready to be dressed head to toe in this vibrant hue, but if you are, don't be afraid of it! Our other colour-lime- is very much a summery colour designers have decided to sprinkle to their stormy outfits to add a pop of colour to the usual neutrals. If you're a summer lover, you now have the time to still wear your bright greens so embrace it while you can otherwise you'll be waiting nearly a whole year for your next chance.
More ideas captured from the runway are our cowgirl fringe and oh so furry. The festival, summery vibe has made a grand comeback replacing our strappy sun tops with ponchos and our fringed vests with thicker kimonos. Layering is hot this season so pile those denim and dark florals to find your inner cowgirl and adorn them with the smoky eye. Finger rings and Wild West theme necklaces are fun to add so consider them too. Secondly, fur is the usual autumn suspect and this time it's no different. Anything from those bulky furry coats to cardigans with a fur collar is acceptable and fur should be purchased in any colour from pastel pink to electric blue. It's not just the plain fur colours this season, we predicted fur would be back but not this bright! 
Moving on to the next two styles are London girl and on point. The London style and Union Jack print are a must this season with the bright colours adding a twist this autumn. Anything from London labelled beanies to fiercely studded black Union Jack clutches instantly add spice to an outfit and those funky slogans add a cheerful vibe to those lazy rainy days. Even purchase a simple phone or ipad case with the Union Jack print and you're in style. If you don't like the blue and red prints go for chic colours like grey or tan and find a Union Jack accessory in that colour. Our other trend is pointy, high heels.The shoes usually look better and are more noticeable if they are just one colour and look very chic if paired with a black outfit or suit. Pointy heels show an elegant side to you and give your legs that much desired lift or if you aren't able to totter in the stiletto length heel then go for the subtle kitten heel and still be in trend.
And finally the last two collections are meow and swinging sixties. Leopard print is known as one of the longest standing patterns in fashion, representing an enduring trend that continues to get reinterpreted and presented on runways every season. Unleash your inner confidence with the laws of the jungle and the best bit is that those spots don't seem to fade in any season so you can wear them all year round! Think of them as an investment :D From makeup brushes, rings, homeware and bags, there's nothing that doesn't escape the cat look. Lastly onto the sixties theme. We're thinking the flapping "Cape" like tops, brogues adorned with bows, pastel satchel bags, Peter Pan necked collar tops and adorable tie-up dresses. The 60s vibe makes you feel younger and oozes with cuteness.The perfect accessory are those lacy petticoat like gloves any lady can sweetly pull off. Frilly socks also continue to be a best seller and they've deffinately won over my heart seeing as I nearly have 30 pairs so far! Eeeek :D

If you have any questions about where a particular item/s from any of the 5 collages is from then don't hesitate to leave a comment below, ( I wasn't able to list every single item seeing as there are so many) but i can easily find out where every single item is from and I reply to every single comment,even if it's just to say hi, your comments truly make my day. Sorry this post has taken slightly longer but I had to research styles, find suitable products, make the collages then write about them and on top of that I have been very busy enjoying the last week of my summer holidays seeing family, friends and travelling etc.
Happy purchasing!
Lots of love
