5 Fall Fashion Trends That You Must Try

I know I don’t have to say it, but I am so excited it is autumn! Before we know it, it’s going to be wintertime, and another year will have gone by. Time really flies, doesn’t it? Since it’s already fall, I thought I would share a post on some of the best and easiest autumn fashion trends that you can try right now (and even wear into winter). Versatility is a huge part of style and fashion, and that’s why I think it’s crucial to have key items in your closet for autumn that can work in a variety of ways. After all, this season is all about creative layering.

So, what are some wearable fashion trends for autumn that you need to try right now? Read below as I go through five of my favourites.

1. Fall Florals

Forget what you’ve heard about florals being reserved for the spring and summer months. This time around, there are flower prints that are completely acceptable (and extremely fashionable) for the cooler months. Look for fall florals in the form of funky patterned jackets and flowing maxi dresses. The key is to look for bold combinations like reds, pinks, and blues on top of a black garment. Adding a floral print to any outfit will instantly change it up.

2. Wide-Legged Pants

Although skinny pants will always have their place in fashion, the wide-legged movement is spreading quite quickly amongst fashion’s finest. Just take a look at Lyst, which notes that “Skinny jeans are over—buy these jeans instead.” The site suggests going with jean culottes and other wide-legged styles to look your best this season. Just wear wide-legged pants instead of your trusty skinnies, and you’ll be on-trend in a cinch (just check out these by clicking here).

3. Crisp White Button-Down

In a time where androgyny is common and impossibly cool, it’s advised that you try your hand at mixing some masculine silhouettes into your autumn wardrobe. A simple choice is to make use out of a crisp white button-down. It's such a versatile shirt and can be dressed up or down, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe in any season. I like POPSUGAR’s tips for styling the trusty top, particularly in the many ways you can layer the button-down shirt.

4. '70s-Inspired Boots

Of course you can’t walk into autumn without a fabulous pair of new boots. Lately, the '70s are taking over many facets of fashion—footwear included. Spice up your autumn looks with a pair of ‘70s-inspired boots. These are typically booties or ankle boots and feature a thick, retro-shaped heel. Another indicator is when the top of the boot is tight to the ankle, slightly reminiscent of go-go boots. Trust me, these boots will go with everything!

5. Embellished Bomber

Autumn is a great time to test out transitional outerwear, and if you’re looking to add to your coat collection, an embellished bomber is the way to go. A new take on an old favourite, embroidered bomber jackets bring a new dimension to casual cool. You’ll find plenty of inspiration by taking a look at Hello Giggles’ roundup.

What trend will you be following this Autumn/Winter?

Instant White Teeth By TINT

Do you sometimes wish that your teeth were lovely and white in seconds? I don't know about you but I certainly have those days where I think my teeth look less white than they did the day before. TINT is a fresh new concept who believe that you shouldn't have to wait for great things- especially when it comes to having that perfect smile. Working alongside leading dentists and chemists, TINT have created a brand new tooth gloss which enables people to have white teeth in just under 60 seconds! 60 seconds that's just crazy.

A few months a go I went to London to have my teeth whitened; whilst the results were great the whole process took over 20 minutes, it was a little messy and my teeth felt slightly sensitive after (only for a day fortunately). TINT products are paroxide free which contain a safe white pigment (for a whiter matte finish) so you do not have to worry about the wellbeing of your teeth. The gloss in fact provides a barrier around your teeth which protects your nashers from harmful stains and acids that come from the food and drinks that you love. So not only is this product as easy as popping on your favourite lippie on before a night out, this new tooth paint is easily wiped off by using the removal pads available in the pack. Each application will last for up to 12 hours are there are three shades you can choose from:

Instant Bright: 'Not everyone suits super white teeth! Our brightener has no colour, it adds a subtle sheen to your teeth to help give the illusion of whiter teeth'.

Instant White: 'For those who want an instantly whiter smile. If you haven't used TINT before we recommend starting at this level. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised just how natural white can look'.

Instant Super White: For those who want the whitest, brightest smile out there. As the name implies, this shade is pretty extreme. For a less 'in your face' effect we suggest trying TINT White.

Left: before Right: after

Overall I thought that this product was amazing- just look at how white my teeth are! I used the Super White package and I just love how easy this product was to use, it was like painting your nails but on your teeth. Soon this product will be as essential as having your favourite lipgloss in your handbag.

Which shade would you use first?

Esprit- The Online Shop You Never Thought Existed

A Winter full of spice and colour with a pinch of sophistication and edge thrown in- Esprit you are going to be my heroin this season. With up to date trends which would get the seal of approval from any fashion victim, shopping at Espirt will enable you to dress to the nines this season. What I love about Esprit is its uniqueness; I have become to love brands that stir away from the traditional high street style because after all, who wants to dress like everyone else? So after discovering a whole basket of clothing and accessories which would happily hammer my bank balance, let’s take a look at my Autumn and Winter fashion picks:

I have been searching for this Shiny Down Coat Trimmed With Faux Fur coat for ages (on the left). I remember seeing the exact same style on Megan McKenna on last year’s Celebrity Big Brother but I failed in finding an identical one… until now. Now this coat isn’t exactly a windbreaker, it is more suited for a cold fireworks evening or even a snow day (all in all it is one snuggly coat). This Butter Soft Leather Jacket (centre) however would make the perfect wind breaker and the ideal go to casual jacket, whereas the Long Wool/Silk Blend Tweed Coat (right) is something I would customize to make it a little more ‘Eltoriafied’. Whilst the long wool coat looks gorgeous on its own, I would in fact add a black faux fur around the collar, attached with safety pins, so that I could have it with or without. Trust me you will be the style envy of everyone with this customisation.

What do October, November, December, January and February have in common? They all fall within the jumper season of course! Now I must admit that I am a huge fuss bod when to jumpers- I don’t like short ones, itchy ones or ones that are not easily washable (ie shrink!). I personally love to wear jumper dresses with either leggings or tights with a pair of black boots, but I would definitely style the Floaty Embroidered Dress (left) with my beige tassel boots.

Winter picks wouldn’t be completed with a number of accessories and a pair of tartan jim jam bottoms would they? Every year I brush off the dust from my black boots and religiously wear them until Winter is over, so these Suede Fashion Boots would be the perfect upgrade. However I must say that these four items are definitely on the crimbo list this year- just look how cute that bobble hat is.

As you all know that I am a fitness freak, surely adding a few more fitness wants to the list is healthy right? (Not sure what my fitness clothing drawer would say about that though). Buying new fitness clothing always gets me down to the gym- there is just something about wearing a new pair of leggings and wanting to trail them out. I personally love all of the above so get yourselves onto the Esprit website guys (click here!). 

What would you choose from the above?

Last Minute Halloween Look With New Look

Now many of you have most probably clicked onto this post because you have left your Halloween costume until the last minute… don’t worry I tend to do this every single year. But with every single one of my friends getting dressed up to the Holloween nines this year, I needed to make my outfit look at least half decent. So whilst watching the New Look Halloween ideas video I got seriously inspired by the Black Sheer Lace Long Sleeve Midi Dress. However because I am not all that keen on long sleeves, I have decided to go for this Kourtney Kardashian inspired Black Plunge V Neck Mesh Panel Bodycon Dress- which looks totally gorgeous don't you think?

Not only is this New Look dress perfect for a spooky vampire look, but I also reckon it would look amazing as part of a Swan Lake outfit. As you can see through the black mesh netting there is in fact a leotard, so if I wasn't wearing tights you will only see leotard (very ballerina like don't you think?). I love that the fact that I could most probably re-wear this dress sometime in the future, so not only is this New Look dress versatile and great value for money, but it also makes a great last minute spooky frock.

Support New Look on social media by using the hashtag #ThisIsNewLook

What do you make of this look?

Much Love

Clarins Festive Palette

The new Clarins Festive Palette screams Autumn and Winter and this is something that is right up my street. A collection of ten wet or dry pressed mineral powder eye shadows, that render long lasting and blendable colour which will leave your eyes being the envy of many at your Christmas works do this year. This palette definitely reminds me of an Urban Decay Naked Palette; they’re extremely pigmented, contain both matte and satin colours and come with a duelled eyeshadow brush (which is made out of Birchwood I must add). All eyeshadows are ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested making them suitable for even the most sensitive of eyes. I would have so say that the burgundy and brown shades are my favourite.

I have just learnt that Clarins is committed to limiting its environmental impact as well as protecting biodiversity. With each purchase of this palette, a tree is planted in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, supporting the indigenous Ashaninka Indians in their effort for develop local agroforestry resources, helping them to live in harmony. I seriously salute you Clarins!

Talking of Autumn and Winter essentials, this Hair Dryers UK hair dryer is the perfect fix for your unruly hair this season. Containing 1,000 times the moisture of negative ions, this dryer penetrates deep into the hair to maintain optimum moisture balance so that your hair is left silky smooth. So my tip for the up and coming  season is this- stop straightening your hair and instead blow dry it. Not only will your hair feel so much more healthier but it will also top salon standards (just think of lustrous volumes that it would also add). The hairdryer also contains slight acidity that has the same PH level as hair and scalp, so if you suffer from a sensitive scalp this is your go to dryer. So with an added lift and an extra bounce, you hair would even be the envy of Gemma Collins (and we all know how much she loves a good blow dry).

What do you make of this palette?

Much Love

The Perfect Travelling Outfit By ROMWE

Choosing what to wear when travelling from a cold country to a hot country can be extremely difficult. Usually my motto is to wear something short sleeved on top and long on the bottom- that way you can just take a jacket with you. How hot or cold you will be isn't the only issue, it is also about how comfortable you will be. I researched 'what to avoid wearing when travelling' and the following popped up: jeans, heels, shorts, skirts, pyjamas, onesies, flip flops, expensive jewellery and offensive clothing. Now a great chunk of clothing has now been eliminated, so what is appropriate to wear when travelling? Well I have just the answer.

This Pink Pocket Short Sleeve Tie Backless Jumpsuit by ROMWE is the perfect solution to my travelling dramas. The material of it is incredibly stretchy and it meets my travelling motto above. There is an easily accessible cord on the back which makes it easy to undo if you are wanting to pop to the ladies on a 9 hour flight- granted it may be a little annoying having to pull down every time. But it is definitely suitable for the hot/cold and comfort requirement.

Above I talked about taking a jacket to keep yourself warm at the (colder) airport. I have been wanting a black bomber jacket for so long so I was excited to receive this Black Zipper Padded Baseball Jacket and Army Green V Neck Belt Coat. The black jacket is lightly padded which makes it ever so snuggly to wear whereas the army green coat is lighter but still makes a great wind breaker.

What would you wear travelling?

New Eltoria Studio Tour!

Eeek the reveal day has finally come... I HAVE A NEW STUDIO SET! So in the last couple of months Joe and I have been working hard to get the studio up together and I am so excited to get filming in my new space! Some of you may not know that Joe (my boyfriend) runs his own photography studio (Creative Studios) and he has been ever so kind to free up some space for me. Soon I will be filming my normal videos against a brand new back ground and also my fitness videos against a new set! The last couple of months have been crazy but the new Eltoria makeover is almost complete.

In the studio I have these 5 keys by Ella Celebration to represent 5 key Eltoria achievements; my two UK Blog Awards, my two Beauty Blogger Awards, and one is a mystery which will be declared at a later date. Ella Celebration is a wedding decorations and party favours website stocking really unique and vintage pieces. I love these vintage keys- I really think they are the perfect token for your guests to take away as memory of your special event. Ella Celebration are hosting a give away where three winners can win a $100.00 gift card! You can enter today by clicking here.

Above: click here to enter the Ella Celebration $100.00 giveaway!

So in my studio I have this Pro Plus 36 Varidesk which I must say is amazing if you are someone who sits in front of a computer screen most of the day. Varidesks are really good for the back, posture, and they help to burn calories. With this model I am able to fit two screens on the desk and I can also adjust the height so that it is perfect for me. I really do recommend getting one- mine looks quite snazzy in my new working area.

So what have I been reading recently? So in between filming and editing I have been reading Kim Kardashian's Secrets, Scandal and Her Million Dollar Empire. Kim Kardashian has earned well over 52 million dollars from her social media empire and the book details her life right from the beginning (even her relationship with her dad, Kris' affair and there are even some cute photos of her from when she was a child!). Since the France robbery, the book really does highlight Kim's vulnerability as a result of her fame before the attack. This book is a really good read if you want to learn more about her and the impacts that social media has had on her as a person.

What do you make of the studio? Do you like it?

Much Love

Autumn Fashion With Audacious Style

Who is Audacious Style do I hear you scream? Well my little Eltorians, Audacious Style have sorted me out with the best pair of jeans that I have ever worn. And the best thing is, my praises do not stop there. Audacious Style is a brand new online fashion brand that stock the most up to date trends whilst keeping in mind that fashion ought to be about dressing bold, speaking your mind and just being yourself (amen to that sista’). So with that all in mind, let’s take a look at my audacious fashion picks.

Ok I have a confession, I am the world’s most fussiest person when it comes to jeans. I hate jeans that feel too tight or look plain and boring- give me a ripped or biker look any day. For the last two months I have been searching high and low for the perfect jean; it had to have the biker panelling and perhaps a few ripped detailing too. But could I find such jean? Well no, not until these Harper Mid Wash Patchwork Ripped Skinny Jeans came to my attention. What I love about these jeans is that they look like a pair of jeans but feel like a jegging, if that makes sense? They are just so comfortable and look even better when your turn up the bottoms and style them with a pair of trainers. And look, they have both panelling and the ripped look! I am totally in love.

So to complete the look I styled these jeans with this Audacious Grey Choker Body Suit and Audacious Camouflage Zip Details Canvas Jacket. Camouflage jackets are totally on trend right now and I love how casual and stylish this one looks when I roll up the sleeves. So if you are a fashion victim looking for the perfect camo jacket, 100% shop Audacious Style. I honestly haven’t found one as good for value like this one. 

For years I wanted to purchase a long tube dress, but I always thought one wouldn’t suit me. So this year I took the plunge and selected this gorgeous Ruby Geometric Stone Knitted Dress. Now you guys know that this time of year I have a huge soft spot for greens, beiges and burgundies… they are literally my colours. So when I had the vision to style this dress with my Top Shop tartan scarf, Michael Kors bag and brown Chelsea boots, adding it to my shopping basket was an absolute must.

Which one is your favourite outfit?
