A little leopard

Uber stylish and never a print that you have to put away, ' leopard' is always on trend - consider it a part of your neutral wardrobe palette. It's practically a basic! 

Whether your approach to style is subtle or bold, there is a piece to perfectly suit, from a bangle with leopard print detail, to a long winter coat.

With an endless amount of styling options, whatever your style mantra, when incorporating animal prints into your ensemble, limit it to one piece at a time. Moderation is the key to staying chic with this trend xo

Nothing Less Than Chic: Winter Whites

Nothing Less Than Chic: Winter Whites

Winter Whites

Possibly unexpected, but right on trend for A/W 2104, make a seamless transition into the new season by incorporating 'white' into your winter wardrobe. 

Make a bold statement head to toe. So chic.

 A pleated skirt (a must have piece for the new season), styled with a fine cable knit will give you instant street cred.

Expect to see the return of grey to the A/W colour palette. The perfect combination with white, creating a soft, warm aesthetic, while adding an element of style and sophistication. 

Long, oversized coats are a new season staple for A/W. Perfectly styled back with a skinny or slim leg pant, choose a neutral hue, or make an impact with a contrasting colour. 

Don't be afraid to play with fabrics, shapes and textures. This ensemble is perfection, combining a cropped knit, with fur and classically tailored pants. Notice the bold contrast between white and black. It's nothing less than chic. 

No longer reserved for long summer days, incorporating white into your winter wardrobe will add a fresh sense of vitality. Step out with confidence and expect to turn some heads
