La double J is a brand I have only recently come across. At first I followed their Instagram and I admit, I dismissed them slightly. It was not that I didn't love their designs but it just didn't click in my head how beautiful their garments were. Flash forward a few months and I came across them again. I have to admit I'm astonished I wasn't obsessed with them from the get go! 

Recently I've found myself heading to longer dresses as I find the classy style of them much more to my taste. La Double J perfectly defines what I'm enjoying about fashion at the moment, bold and intricate floral patterns with vintage inspired silhouettes. Personally when I put on a midi or full length dress  I can't help but feel effortlessly chic, but, how I would describe La Double J is outrageously chic. They don't shy away from using clashing, vibrant colours with bold, eye-catching patterns, in fact, they embrace it. The cherry on top of the cake is all that's needed to complete a look with one of these dresses is a pair of white pumps and a handbag, an effortless outfit that will turn everybody's heads!

PS19 Collection


Whilst hunting for some new brands to follow this evening I came across Brogger. How I would best describe their collections is a surprisingly harmonious blend of streetwear and femininity. The collections showcase a playful use of colour and print to create elegant womenswear. Of all the collections I've scrolled through the PS19 has to be my favourite due to the vibrant colour palette. Specifically, I think the addition of the yellow ruffle on the collar of the pink suit is both fun and unique. You would fail to look boring in one of their suave suits and if you haven't already headed straight to their Instagram I suggest you do so now as I can see this brand releasing many more beautiful collections in future.

Animal print is in, enjoy it whilst it lasts. It's not for everyone, some are still weary of it's possible tacky nature. The truth is the line between classy and questionable is fine and finding the perfect zebra print will take time. However, I am momentarily very much enjoying wearing my wide-leg-leopard-print New Look trousers. Personally, I am of the opinion that if you are going to take on an animal print, don't pick an accessory or small accent. Wear a statement piece. A head to toe tiger print suit never hurt anybody, I think if you've got the confidence then go for it.

Head to toe jungle-chic not enough for you? Merge your animal prints with a vivid neon and do two trends at once. It's certainly a statement and possibly not everyday attire but, frankly, I think it's a modern twist on a classic print which screams fun.  

Neon's aren't the only colours switching up the classic animal prints. It's clear many designers have chosen to re-envision a classic animal print with a new colour palette. For example, snake skin has never looked so elegant compared to Vivetta's sultry slip dress from their AW18 Milan catwalk.

'Bunny'

Topshop £16.00, Topshop £4.00, Topshop £46.00, Topshop £5.00, Zara £49.99

Bunnies have become a standard of Halloween. The sexy staple isn't going away soon but here's new take on the basic bunny. Topshop's metallic ears are a refreshing look for the lacy alternative, their 'Disco Bodysuit' makes the perfect match for an eye-catching costume. Here comes the controversial choice! Drop the classic bunny-tail-and-fishnets-combo for a more modern aesthetic. Wear an exaggerated wide leg jean and some statement white boots to give this, debatably overdone, Halloween look a high fashion makeover.

'Bat'

H&M £2.99, H&M £5.99, Topshop £8.00, Urban Outfitters £29 + £32 (set sold separate), Topshop £59

Don't have time to commit to three hours of special effects? You can't go wrong with a pair of bat ears. Keep this Halloween classic fresh by swerving the cocktail dress and opting for this stunning Urban Outfitters co-ord. Dress it up with some statement black boots and spooky accessories for an effortlessly stylish costume.

'Halloween Queen'

H&M £8.99, Topshop £7.00, New Look £14.99, New Look £29.99, Topshop £4.00

Nobody loves October 31st more than the 'Hallow Queen'. Pair this glam unitard with Topshop's sassy slogan T for a fun night out! For a more casual, club appropriate, option swap the strappy heels for some chunky trainers- nobody wants to do the mash in stilettoes. 
'Devil'

Luvyababes £2.99, H&M £4.99, Urban Outfitters £46, Zara £89.99, Topshop £4.00

The devil wears Prada but unfortunately our budgets can't stretch so we'll settle for this stunning Urban Outfitters mini dress. These beautiful Zara boots really elevate the look whilst the accessories keep things creepy. After all you can't go wrong with a red dress!


'Zebra'

Topshop £89.99, Topshop £19, Topshop £4, Topshop £32

I can bet there won't be another zebra at the party. This look is both on trend and totally fun (or should I say wild). On a serious note, I think this is a brilliant costume, it's different and come November you won't regret splashing £50 on an costume you'll never wear again because all these pieces would look stunning in an AW18 look book.
