Who's ready for a new season? I most definitely am ready, Autumn has to be my favourite of the four season. The striking colour palette, the transition from summer, the layering, the new flurry of trends. It's an exciting time of year for any fashionista! This post is all about my top picks this autumn, I'll later include a trend report but this post is all about what I'll be wearing this Autumn so I hope I can inspire some of you to create some gorgeous looks this season!
1. Leather Skirt
This little beauty will very likely feature in my wardrobe at least once a week. I am obsessed with leather skirts for many reasons. Firstly I love the colour black, it's dark & mysterious yet sleek and simple. I love that leather can be so harsh and grungy yet a skirt can be so girly and feminine so a leather skirt keeps a balance of the two which is what my wardrobe is all about. I also really love that this is such a versatile piece, when buying pieces for seasons it's important to pick versatile pieces as this is most cost effective.

2.Slouchy jumper
When the cold weather arrives all I want to do is snuggle in my warm bed all day and read books and blog! A good way to take that comfort and warmth with you all day is to invest in a cozy, knitted jumper, not only will you be kept toastier than a marshmallow, you'll look gorgeous too! These can be styled in so many ways it's a wonder item!

3. Fur Coat
Something in me is obsessed with fur. I don't know what it is about fur but I love it, it could be the soft, fuzzy texture, it could be the glamour, it could be that it reminds me of my stuffed animal Leo the Leopard. Each Autumn/Winter season I'm on a mission to find a gorgeous Leopard print fur coat, that won't cost me my whole season budget! I came close last year with a £50 one in new look but as I didn't love it I decided against it, however I came even closer this year with a gorgeous £20 one on eBay which I won but however the coat never arrived so I settle with a refund and a new pair of shoes. I will buy myself a gorgeous leopard print coat and I will feel glamorous wearing it out this year! So fashionistas join me on the hunt for a faux fur leopard print coat!

4. Peplum top
This little garment simply won't exit the runway, we've seen it season after season but I still adore it! The shape the peplum creates is simply gorgeous and I feel so feminine whilst wearing it but at the same time I feel very sleek and simplistic especially in my black peplum top from Primark, at £8 it was practically a steal! This season, I'll be branching out and finding a peplum that matches the colour palette but more importantly will be wearable with almost anything.

5. Ankle booties
This season I recommend you get yourself a pair like these beauties! Heeled booties with numerous buckles and cutouts are the epitome of footwear this season. Wear them with bright tights and skirt or a pair of skinny, cropped jeans and you'll be strutting your stylish self in style. What I love about these shoes is that they give you added height (which for me is a must) but they are a more casual way of doing so. You don't need to wear a pair of killer heels to add inches to your legs, instead try a pair of these gorgeous little booties.
(H&M - £49.50)
6. White Blazer
Whites are a wonderful edition to an Autumn/Winter wardrobe and a blazer is perfect for the colder months. Not only will it brighten your outfit it will also highlight you tan from the summer. Personally I love to team my white blazer with a white bandeau, white sheer vest, black leather look trousers and minimalist gold jewellery. I found my White Blazer on a sale rail in H&M for £5 that was definitely one of my best bargains of all time! As it is a blazer it is a little more formal however wear it with light jeans and a simple logo tee and you'll still have a causal vibe to your ensemble.

7. Patterned Tights
I like to dress with a bit of individuality and I find that patterned tights are a great way to show this individuality. Not only do they keep your legs warm in the chilly months but they add a little more youth to an outfit and give a modern twist to more classic ensembles. The one rule it is important to stick to with tights is to not allow the tights to be too 'trashy' for example I don't think it's acceptable to wear a micro skirt, stocking style tights and a tiny shirt. Remember one golden rule of fashion: unveil one area. For example wear a knitted jumper, skirt and stocking tights. That way you're showing off your legs but in classy, respectable way.
8. Large Silver Necklace
A key piece for me every season is neckware. An obvious example in the Autumn season is a scarf however for those of you with a more glamorous approach to fashion this is for you. I think a statement necklace can make or break an outfit and this piece is sure to make almost any outfit! I would wear this necklace with a plain black blouse and a maroon pencil skirt with a pair of flats as slightly more formal day time outfit. Large silver necklaces make it into my Autumn top ten because of Kim Kardashian, her love for oversized silver chokers has inspired me to try them too and for £3.95 why not give it a go too?

9. Black Handbag
This season the trend 'all black' is an absolute must. Be it in day time or night time it's a very minimalistic, fashion forward trend and is one that I am very excited to try. Icons to be inspired by are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West - the king and queen of the trend! As most people's basic wardrobe contains black - jeans, skirts, shirts, tops etc. why not go a step further and grab a handbag to finish your ensemble off nicely? What I love about this bag is the size for a start. Every woman needs a huge handbag, where else do we store all of our essentials? This could easily double as school/college/work bag due to the size. I particularly love the minimalist detail of the gold studs on the handle, this would make you all black outfit pop.
10. Highland prints
Each Autumn/Winter season you can bet on highland prints strutting their way onto the catwalk. Each year we dig out the same shirt/pleated skirt and team with all black for a highland print centered outfit. This year why not mix it up a little? This gorgeous little miniskirt is a great way to put a modern twist on the classic trend, the abundance of zips on this skirt just scream punk so take it further and team with a skull print knitted jumper and tough biker boots for a 'don't mess with me' outfit. It's bound to keep you warm and stylish this season.
