Winter in August

Blazer: River Island - similar here

Top: ASOS

Necklace: Topshop sale

Jeans: Primark 

Shoes: ASOS 

If the suns not out then I'll class it as a winter's day, and at the moment that's exactly what it's been like! So, in an attempt to keep warm I decided to team my smart long-line blazer with a few more casual pieces to create a very city-chic work look. I don't normally dress this smart for work, (and by smart I mean wear a blazer) however it gives me such a confidence boost and even though I bought the blazer in the January sales, it's a classic piece that won't be going out of trend in a hurry! I'm also still loving these jeans which were one of my amazing Primark finds that I featured in my very first styleandlondon post!

ASOS AW14 Press Day

Autumn/Winter is fast approaching and before we know it we will be shivering in our chic camel coats with our umbrellas held tight. But its not all bad, because a new season means a new style and this A/W is set to be the best yet. 

ASOS.com held their AW14 press day was back in April, however I feel as though sharing it now will hopefully bring about a second wave of excitement for the new season's collection! Here are my favourite picks from the day...

Girly Grunge

The grunge trend has been updated with longline coats teamed with full scuba skirts, chunky boots teamed with sports socks and deep red hues. 

Textures

Texture means three things to ASOS; heavy fabrics, full on prints and lots of embellishments!

Androgynous Accessories

Accessories get a manly touch with briefcase inspired bags, chunky shoes and a mixture of studs and glitter.

Menswear

The main trend for menswear was teaming sporty and smart. This meant blazers worn with snapbacks and shirts worn under puffer coats.
