I’ve been a huge fan of Dominique Mosley’s beautiful scarf collection for some time now so was super excited to find out that the talented prints designer will be launching her debut bag collection this season.
Inspired by the decadence of the Art Nouveau era the range of versatile and stylish bags feature Mosley’s signature vibrant designs of graphic retro prints which have been fused with gorgeous vivid shades of purple, blue and pink.
Each design is a definite statement piece and will accompany day outfits perfectly. The collection is made from the highest quality coated cotton canvas with subtle leather trimmings and handles which brings the luxury edge to the pieces. The range includes five print options and four different bag styles – a tote bag, shoulder bag, cosmetics bag and a coin purse. You’ll have a hard time deciding which design is your favourite as they are all utterly fabulous!
So keep an eye out ladies on Dominique Mosley’s website for the launch of this exquisite bag range!
One of this season’s most daring and out-there trends is texture clashing! Stand out from the fashionista crowd in sequins, faux fur, tassels, big gems, studs, lace and metallics.
Adding a range of different style textures to your wardrobe is a perfect way of providing depth and interest to day and evening looks. A faux fur jumper teamed with a lace pencil skirt is smart yet sassy and will have you high up on the style radar! Tassel and gem detailing are ideal for evening looks as they ooze daring luxury.
Studs on blouses, shirts and tops will give your day and work wardrobe a stylish update and will look great teamed with a pair of high waisted straight leg trousers. A mini skirt in metallic gold will also look amazing worn with neutral coloured sweaters.
Unleash your creativity this Autumn/Winter ladies and experiment with the variety of textures which can be found in high street stores – it’s time to be brave!

Choosing the right coat for winter can be exciting! I love shopping for outerwear and the high street has so many fabulous styles to offer these days it’s hard to decide on just one – which is why I have quite a few hanging in my wardrobe… From casual designs such as duffle and quilted coats to the more elegant styles like cape and maxi length, you’ll be excited about the weather getting colder!
Bright shades are one of the biggest trends for this season and are a great way of livening up your winter wardrobe. If you want to give this look a go then choose a 60’s shape coat in a vibrant colour of yellow, orange, pink, green, red or blue. Faux fur styles are also taking over the high street. They can add a luxurious feel to day and night outfits keeping you warm and stylish at the same time. Make sure the style you choose fits perfectly though as you don’t want it to swamp you!

Go retro this season by flaunting the must-have dress style that celebrities such as Kate Middleton and Kelly Osbourne have been seen in. 40’s inspired dresses are wonderfully feminine and chic and can be worn day or night.
It is a flattering trend for all body shapes and the dresses allow you to flash just the right amount of leg! There are so many styles out there from A-line skirt details, tighter hourglass fits and military retro designs.
A cross-over front is ideal for women with a full bust as it will give you a gorgeous shape. You could even add a belt to the look to define your waist. Frilled sleeve styles are great for pear shapes as they will add volume to your upper half and balance out your curves.
Add a chunky cardigan to your 40’s day outfit then team with flats and a little boxy patent bag. For the evening wear your dress with heels and a clutch. Experiment with other vintage inspired accessories such as long gloves, faux fur and clashing tights and belts!
Rose Wrapover Dress, £30.00 from iStylista.com
Cape Sleeve Dress, £50.00 from iStylista.com
