A fictional novel: yea, an odd thing to have on a fashion blog but hey i have a reason. This winter's trends have been influenced by both feminine film legends from the 40's & 50's and fictional characters. Some of these characters have a unique victorian style and are get inspiration for a style dry fashion girl.

A study Satchel: These used to be seen as 'the nerd satchel' but they have recently become big news in the fashion biz. Try one in a tan, brown or cream colour.

A pair of tan mary-janes: The black mary-jane heel is still very trendy, but it isn't this mary jane that the fashion magazines are crazy about anymore. They are now hooked on the fabulous neutral and tan versions storming our catwalks and shopping centres at the moment.

A military blazer: The blazer is huge this season, with the re-invention of corporate wear. A military blazer is the perfect item to sass up a dull outfit.

A beret in grey or white: Always a star, the beret in grey. These are influenced from Europe, no doubt at all, and are perfect to wear with a longline cardi and jeans or a skirt and stockings on a cold winter or spring day.
