The Faux Fur Coat

I remember buying a faux fur jacket when I was at university from Primark and I got it to wear to a new years eve glamorous party over my silky Coast strapless dress and I'm pretty sure I wore long gloves as well! The point is that it was for a special occasion and I don't think I ever wore it again as it was considered too over the top for normal wear. How things have change! The Faux Fur jacket has become a wardrobe staple the last few seasons and I absolutely love them and wear them with pretty much everything. This season in particular is so much fun , because you can really play around with colour and shape which is great as most of the time in Winter the focus is on your outerwear. The one I am wearing here is from Pull and Bear but I have also included some of my other favourites. This jacket is in the colour of the season, burgundy or oxblood as some call it and I really was drawn to the cropped shape of it. Needless to say it is so warm and snugly I never want to take it off!

The Bomber

Today I want to share a little gem with you. I recently ordered a oriental print little bomber ( was feeling a bit daring ) from Zaful but to be honest I wasn't expecting much.I thought it would be pretty but quite flimsy and was planning to wear it as sort of an evening cover up. Well , I have to see I was so impressed when it arrived. The fabric is a sort of stiff satin and the print is stunning. The sleeves have a concealed pockets with a cool zipper and it fastens with gold poppers. The best thing though for me , because I hate being cold is that it is padded which means that it is perfect for milder winter days , but I will also be layering it under gillets and coats.Considering the price  ( about $37) I would say that the quality is amazing and it has become my favourite thing in my wardrobe.

Stay warm and pretty

Nothing says fall quite like nice knitwear and ZAFUL has the most beautiful and affordable selection. I was a bit spoilt for choice as far as colours and design are concerned as the they are so many to choose from. Also I must confess, I was a bit apprehensive as with knitwear the feel of the fabric is very important and obviously is is difficult to gauge when browsing online. I opted for the one of the colours of the season, blush pink, which is with  unusual for me and I have to say I was very pleased when it arrived. The colour is just like in the picture and the sweater itself is very soft and warm and the perfect length for trying the tucked in look. Also it has an oversized feel about it without swamping me , which is usually the case as I am quite small in the shoulders and I have difficulty with oversized styles. There is also a nice criss cross detail to the back which adds a fashion element to it. I love it so much I have already ordered a oxblood and grey one.

The shearling gillet

Living in a relatively warm country , one of the things I miss is being able to wear really thick coats and outerwear. Obviously there are days when it is really cold, but they are relatively numbered. Gillets are a lifesaver for me , especially when they incorporate the elements I love such as faux fur and shearling. I recently acquired a gorgeous soft black oversized aviator sleeveless number that I absolutely love and have not stopped wearing since I got it. The outside of the jacket is a soft faux suede that will be a lot easier to look after than the real thing. The big lapels give it a luxurious feel and the inside ( good part!) is divine. It is a beautiful soft shearling type fur that is so addictive ! I love it!

I ordered a size medium and it fits just as I wanted it too but if you wanted a less oversized look you could probably size down.

The great thing about this is that it is so versatile. You can wear it over a shirt for a warmer layer or you can really go for it in colder weather and wear it over a leather jacket and it looks great with skirts or pretty dresses to toughen the look up a bit.

There are lots of great items on the site so head over and take advantage off all the great offers as well.

The Kimono Duster

Today I am sharing with you a look that is quite different for me. I have seen the kimono trend on lots of people but I did think that is was something that I couldn't pull off and besides I wasn't actually sure I even liked it. But after investing in a lace version to wear in the Summer I decided to try the silky dressing gown type (that's what I call them anyway!) .I thought that if it doesn't work out I can wear it in the house. However, when the ZAFUL kimono  actually arrived I really liked it and even more surprisingly it I felt good wearing it. It is still quite warm here but the light coverage and beautiful print felt so right for the season. Also, I cannot deny I felt extremely glamorous and I can't wait to wear it again. Now I have got my head round it I am after a velvet version so I will keep you posted!

Zaful Wishlist, amazing new fall shorts!

So you have probably guessed I've got a bit of a thing for shorts and I actually think black shorts like the ones in my Zaful wish list are perfect for the new trend of shorter lengths if like me you are a bit apprehensive of mini skirts with bare legs. They are achieve the same look but you don't need to worry about the whole world seeing your underwear!
I suggest choosing a pair that is quite tailored and teaming it with a shirt for a more seasonal appropriate look. Look for new season trends such as ruffles and embroidery to make sure your look is on point, you need to make sure that the shorts make the outfit autumnal , not leftovers of your summer wardrobe.

                                                     

Zaful Black Embroidered Shorts here

I actually have these in pink , you check them out here and I actually love them. The embroidery is stunning and the fabric is quite thick, certainly too thick for Summer shorts.They also look like a skirt from the front and the waist detailing is stunning!

                                             

Zaful High Waisted Ruffles Shorts  here

These will look great teemed with smart tops and even a nice blazer for a put together look. Team them with a pretty camisole  or a sparkly top and you have a perfect city girl outfit.

   Zaful Leather Look Shorts   here

These are definitely a must have in my opinion, they go with everything and can be worn for multiple occasions and will also see you through winter. Add ankle boots chunky knitwear and a baker boy cap and you are ready to go.

Although these are fall outfit inspiration, Summer is not officially at least over yet so I have a promotion to share with you that will make these very affordable pieces even more so.

Pleats and Ribbons

The weather is definitely warranting a bit of a wardrobe over hall this week , although living in Greece means that full on winter clothing is along way off. However, bright Summer prints and too much floatiness seems inappropriate and I find myself looking for a bit of structure that is not too rigid. This pretty blue blouse or top/shirt ( not quite sure what you would class is as! ) from Zaful is perfect in the sense that the it nods to a shirt with the pale blue stripes and navy and white pinstripe but is it is still playful and extremely feminine. I really love the love arm holes and the ribbons on the side as they really add an element of surprise to this item. It is quite short , so unless you want to be stomach flashing I would say that high waisted is the way to go. Also because it flairs out above the waist , it really creates the illusion of a tiny waist and shapely hips. If you are blessed in the breast department, definitely size up as overall the sizing is not very generous . The fabric is lovely and cool and I imagine it will look amazing with layers come colder days.
