furrrreezing!

Is it just me or is it getting slightly chilly?....Well i don't know about the rest of you but i welcome this cold weather as it gives me the opportunity or what i really mean is the excuse to buy new winter clothes!

At the moment i am loving fur (faux of course) on everything. I get warmer just by looking at it! who's wearing it well this season?


 

Everybody loves a bit of Kylie and look how shes wearing her new fur jacket this season. Keeping it simple with all black and grey bag to make the jacket the main attraction.

See how Alexa Chung wears it. Alexa's given it a touch of clamour with her red lip stick to match what you can see of her red dress.










Or if you prefer a bit of colour this blue faux fur coat still has a wintry feel to it and looks super cosy!





 

 This one is from topshop for £95. I really love this one because its more practical and has a cosy fur collar and cuffs.




 This one is also from topshop for £98. Again i like the design of the the collar and how it's fitted in at the waist. What i love about fur is that it always comes back in the winter season as it cant go out of style! But if you don't want to go all out and get a complete full fur jacket you can get ones with just fur trimmings or hood.







 I thought I'd share my new jacket i got this week with you all. As much as i love the full fur jackets I've settled for a cosy fur hood instead!

all for now x

Peplum Paloma

You may think that singer song writer Paloma Faith wears outfits that are 'out there' but I find them to be colourful,fashionable and interesting to look at.  It is like her wardrobe is based on  fancy dress, its always bright or sparkly but always to her own individual taste.

Gearing up for Autumn/winter trends Paloma was seen this year in a metallic trouser suit with a peplum top.


I love how the Jacquard fabric has a shine to it. Peplum tops are really in this season and can be very flattering! Here are peplum influenced outfits from the high street!


Zara at £ 89.99
This lace dress with the leather peplum style is very elegant and fitting, emphasising the waist and the curves of the body.


 
Lipsy dress from ASOS £35
  
ASOS enchanted print £35




















The red top I feel is a colour that Paloma might wear as she often wears red to clash with her red hair. The enchanted print has calmer colours but I like how the pint jeans worn by the model brings out the pink in the top.



Jacquard Zara dress £89.99

 


 






 










Here is Paloma in a chic white peplum top with gold crop trousers.
Paloma often finishes her look with a head piece of some kind to
complete her quirky individual image!

Here are some cool head pieces I found off this website! http://crownandglory.bigcartel.com/products



£10


£ 30


£25
Why not try the peplum style for yourself? All for now! xx

Stud Up!

At the moment studs are worn everywhere! On shoes,bags and necklaces you name it! Studs are the perfect way to give an outfit an edge. Kristen Stewart has worn a few dresses on the red carpet but one that springs to mind is the one she wore at the 2011 movie awards.


 
 
 
The use of safety pins and studs here create an almost Gothic rocker image that only Kristen can get away with. The fit of the dress shows off her slim figure and the red colour makes it stand out from the crowd.
 
 
This dress is a more toned down version that I love! For £40 from Republic its a flattering shape with the use of less studs but still getting the desired look.
 
 
 
 The use of spikes on Kristen's dress creates the  biker chick look that seems to be a popular trend right now.  If your not as bold as Kristen is with studs then go for something more simple but that still gives the same effect.
 
This blazer from Republic is for £40. It may look simple but the use of studs makes it more stylish and could be worn with anything to complete an outfit. Here are some more examples of studs being used.

Black studded heels from Kurt Geiger for only £39.99


Wanting shoes for day wear? why not purchase these studded flats from New look for only £34.99.

Why not add some colour to your outfit with this studded suede clutch from miss selfridge for £35?





If u like you can check out Kristen Stewart's perfume campaign for
Balenciaga! It was described by the star as a 'fresh and french' fragrance.

all for now! xx

LEATHER

Hey there! As much as I love Zooey Deschanel I feel it is time to move on to a new look! At the moment I am really enjoyng kristen Stewarts outfits . This October the young actress did her first cover for British Vogue. Even though she was styled professionally the photographer Mario Testino was able to portray Stewarts glamorous tomboy style.


I love the use of texture in the
 clothes and how they are layered and
 positioned to create an edgy bold image.




Leather jackets are still in fashion however I have noticed that leather skirts as well as shorts and leggings have become increasingly popular.


 
Black studded
shorts from Topshop
£38
                             
 
Here we have a black panel
skirt from Topshop
£42
 
























These items may not be made from real leather but have are influenced by the same biker look. The use of the studs are becoming more popular and give an outfit a harder edge.

Here is kristen Stewart rocking Paris fashion
 week in a Neon yellow leather jacket.


Even though we are buying our winter jackets this month a leather jacket is a must have! It is an item of clothing that can complete an outfit and that goes with nearly everything!



 
New look leather jacket
£39.99
 
New look brown biker jacket
£49.99























I like how the black leather jacket is fitted and has puffed shoulders creating a nice shape. Even though i prefer black to brown I like the position of the zip and the larger, wider collar on the brown jacket.
Needing something for your biker style? A  leather jacket is the wat to go.

All for now x

PRETTY POLKA DOT

Hey there! So still on Miss Zooey Deschanel this week but now focusing on the polka dot print. Deschanel is known for her retro quirky sense of style and isn't afraid to experiment with different patterns.


.
Here we have Zooey in a flirty,playful polka dot
dress that reflects her vibrant personality

Polka dot is retro but current. It is a style that is repeated but adapted  to create new styles that can be worn by anyone. Deschanel is not the only one fashioning the trend, other actresses such as Cameron Diaz,Anne Hathaway and Emma Roberts are also wearing it which highlights how popular it is.



Penny spot midi dress from Topshop for
£48.00

This dress screams retro but has a sophisticated look because of the use of black and white. I feel it is a must have outfit as it can be casually worn as a day dress but a pair of heels could make it appropriate for smart wear.
 
Here is Zooey at another awards show in a
pretty polka dot dress very similar to topshops
version! 

















Here is another retro image that I love!
 
Nude floral skirt
Miss Selfridge £45


Warehouse outfit
shirt £15.00
These are a few other examples of polka dot influenced outfits!
The skirt described as floral has i feel a polka dot effect, it is a very delicate looking and perfect to be worn to a party night out.The warehouse outfit is a trend very in at the moment with the drainpipe patterned trousers.


Here's another fun way to paint your nails like Zooey that will jazz up any outfit!



If you want nails like these just go on this video like I did.



All for now! xx

PARTY DRESS!

Hey there! This week im focusing on the 'retro look'. And who wears it better than American actress Zooey Deschanel!? At the 2012 Emmy awards Deschanel wore a long pale blue strapless dress which i  think has a retro feel but is yet simple and elegant for such a formal event.





To add to her quirky image the star got her nails done too!







Everyone loves a party dress! So instead of the long elegant look why not go for the shorter version? It may not be the typical retro polka dot or flower printed dress but it still has the element of fun!






So got a party coming up? why not treat youself! 

New look ruffle dress £54.99




ASOS £38.50

Introducing Morgan Emporium....

 
Hello there! Now that I'm in my second year as a fashion management student  it has given me the    opportunity to create my own blog! Fashion is  my addiction and something i cant live without.I can never get bored of it because it is always changing, introducing new styles or reviving the old ones. What you wear becomes part of who you are,part of your identity reflecting your mood or even your personality. For me, i cant just stick to one style as there are so many looks to try and experiment with and have fun with! In my blog,in order to keep up with the different trends I'm going to follow what celebrities are wearing and how they are wearing it. Being a student i can understand that a lot of what is worn by celebrities are out of  price range therefore I'm also going to post a similar outfit that is affordable from the high street that will not break the bank balance but will still create the desired look.
 Hope you enjoy! xx
