Tis true, I have officially been the worst blogger over the last few months, but now I've moved house (My Style Companion has now relocated to Cheshire, however still provides perosnal shopping and styling services all over the North West) and am feeling slightly more organised (well as organised as I will ever be!?!) I resolve to blog far more frequently. :-0
Maybe it's a/w10 that get's me soooooo excited that I simply can't help but share all the great things I'm coming across this season; and seeing as I can't buy them all (for fear of losing boyfriend to severe clothing and accessory addiction - love you honey!) then I just can't see all these goooooorgeous pieces go to waste.
Wondering what to buy? A cape has to be one of the must haves of this season, camel would be even better! Divine. Embrace a shearling jacket if you have the funds but be prepared to pay a few hundred (if not a few thousand) for a great style - Hobbs have one on its way in to store v soon for £999 that easily rivals some of the designer labels for a third of the price. Worth the investment though for a classic piece to treasure for years.
For those of you working in a more formal environment, the pointed stiletto is back so dig deep to find your inner Melanie Griffiths (the original Working Girl) and hunt down that perfect pair that will elongate those pins. Wear with a fabulous pair of high waisted, wide legged trousers (look to LK Bennett, Hobbs) and tuck in a beautiful silk blouse to finish the look.
The countrified look we're seeing coming through inspired by the great outdoors is great for women who are outdoors a lot - ideal for the school run. Think padded / quilted jackets, lotsof tweeds and textured fabrics, and hiking style wedge boots (take a look in Kurt Geiger), and accessorise with cute brooches to personalise the look (see NW3 at Hobbs) or man's best friend for the more authentic look!
Get shopping girls. Here's to a fabulous and stylish season ahead...
