Are You on Trend #AW2013

Hi guys 

Today's Saturday Style steal I’m going to be going over some of the latest A/W 2013 trends on the market!

Here we go…

Tartan, I personally love a bit of tartan, it can give that vintage edge to your outfit, and whilst some of us don’t mind layering ourselves in the stuff, there are some of us (ME) who just like subtle pieces to add to my collection. So if you’re a tartan lover you may like some of these things below


This tartan coat gives you the A/W trend with an edge, the coat is from Boohoo.com and I love it, I wish I had it but I don’t. Anyways, the leather (or faux leather) sleeves subtle the tartan down so it’s not too in your face and makes it easier to style with different things :D



If the coat wasn't for you how about a tartan skater skirt, again I wish I had this, but again I do not… What is wrong with me!!! This skirt is from SoInFashion.com and it’s £15!!! It's also what I call a “classic piece” it reminds me a little of the tartan skirt in “Mean Girls” but it’s longer and flowier [not even a word]. Perfect with 10 denier tights (Another trend) and possibly a biker boot or an ankle boot to shake things up a bit. I’d also pair this with a leather jacket or a classic black winter coat, either way in my head it looks amazing! If you've got it or something similar let me know!



Ok so all that tartan too much for you, then give yourself a flash of the tartan trend with this belt! Simple, on trend and will keep your pants from falling to your knees and baring to the world your knickers…how embarrassing.. I’d recommend this to be put on black or white trousers for that pop of colour. Not a trousers girl, then how about a classic black skater skirt, or a pencil skirt? You might even just… just get away with it around your waist but it depends how thick it is on… if you've got it let me know, or send a picture to FB or Twitter.



That’s enough about tartan for now! Let’s look at the next trend!
The winter has come and hunted us down and it’s blowing a gale and raining like mad, but have you got your winter coat on? Have you even bought one this year? Now style steal is all about finding a good ole bargain, but when it comes to certain things, I don’t mind pushing the boat out financially and spending that little extra.

This first coat from Karen Millen comes in at £125 and for a coat by a decent designer I’m not complaining at the price, It’s all about the red and tan coats this winter and they’re looking mighty fine if you ask me! I love ‘em and I’m not the biggest trend person, but the A/W trends are bang up my street!.



This next coat has a invisible price tag, I couldn't seem to find it for this particular coat, so just look and go “oooooohhhh” I love a tan coat, and if I weren't so accident prone and slightly messy I’d own it, but for this year my coat is a black and white tartan. Instagram is HERE. This coat reminds me of one I had a few years back that was black (And far too cheap to last …*Cries*) however this one looks made of better quality materials, if I was to guess a price I would say no more than £170 which for a decently made coat that will last a few years, is not a bad price tag.



Ok, Ok I’m nearly done! I promise.

So you know before when I said I love the trends this season… Here’s one I do not love! The pointed shoe!



Yes whilst shoes are my guilty pleasure and I love perusing through online shopping sites looking at shoes I could probably never afford, the pointed show is crossed off my list! I hate them, don’t get me wrong the designs are lovely it’s just the point at the tip that crosses my line! I look at them and automatically think BUNIONS! And if you don’t know what a bunion is, then it’s a growth, bit like bone, but more gristle on the side of your big toe (normally) that grows because of excessive wear of high heels or tight shoes. Pointed shoes are both! The squeeze your toes in and squish them, they’re uncomfortable in most circumstances and the only thing they’re good for is to kick someone in. That point could be dangerous! So you may have guessed a pointed shoe will not be on my foot this Christmas, next Christmas or any time after that, even if you paid me to!

Here are some other trends you might want to check up on:

  • Oversized Jumpers
  • Knee-Thigh high boots <3
  • Pencil Skirts
  • Pvc Leather skirts are making a come into the fashion world :S
  • CC creams
  • Burgandy, in all it’s glory (including makeup)
  • Christmas jumpers/PJ’s/Onesies/Everything
