BURBERRY PRORSUM RUNWAY FW15

In 2015, the bohemian is back —in case you haven't heard!— and somehow, happens to be even chicer than her predecessors. We are foreseeing here what I like to call a 'Jet Set Gypsy', traveler of the world, wearing nothing but patchwork, pattern and prints (that was also, in fact, the title of Christopher Bailey's Burberry Prorsum ready-to-wear Fall/Winter 2015 collection). But it was not the Maison de Couture's first time protraying the Jet Set Gypsy has the Prorsum woman, in fact, it strongly feels like she's been part of Bailey's Burberry vision for quite a while. Of course, we can all pretty much agree on the fact that this Victorian-chic, velvet everything, romantic and colourful character is London's 1960's and 1970's finest.

I found it very thoughtful for the 44 years-old CEO to re-imagine their classic patchwork blankets that took the Fashion world by storm a few season's ago, offering to the world yet, another Fashionable alternative to the traditional capes and ponchos that have been so popular lately. I could only assume that with becoming a father, comes the notion of posterity and the urge to create a heritage that will last for the next generations to come to enjoy as much as we do today. In his conscious effort to create a new heirloom, Bailey put back on the market those endlessly flattering short graphic sixties dresses, looooong patchwork suede over-the-knee boots, gorgeous suede-everything statement coats and mirror-embroideries here, over a floaty chiffon dress, and there, in a bodice attached to a fringed skirt, which inevitably brought to mind the trail that hippies followed to India, back in the 1960's.

Ralph Lauren is to New York, what Louis Vuitton is to Paris and what Burberry is to London; timeless relationships with which comes great responsibility. Yet, Christopher Bailey didn't fail to disappoint, proving again how essential he is to the Fashion industry and to the Burberry Group.

10 FASHION STAPLES I CAN’T SURVIVE WINTER WITHOUT

With Winter in full swing the only way to beat it is to invest in good quality Winter Wardrobe Essentials and get very good at layering. I must admit, I really do love Winter Fashion. I’ve compiled 10 essentials for a fabulous fall wardrobe. For me, winter is all about quality fabrics and layering. These are the key pieces I definitely couldn’t get through winter without…

The Perfect Coat

A stylish outerwear is the first thing we all hurry to invest in as the cold months arrive, and while trends come and go a classic coat is always there to bundle you up in style. Whether you love long or oversized coats, monochrome or checkered options, capes, pea coats or ones with military influences, go for the best options that flatter your figure and put the focus on your personal style. A statement-making coat can be the core of almost all your winter looks, and the way you style it can certainly help you create various styles and moods.

Jeans, Jeans, Jeans!

If in summer it’s all about the perfect pair of denim shorts, I love the winter months for it lets us wear our favorite jeans. Skinny, high-waisted, bell-bottom or vintage, jeans are really timeless and we can hardly imagine the fashion world without them. It’s their practicality, versatility and ultimate wearability that makes us adore jeans. Well, and of course we all know how to wear jeans, since they have no basic rules and you can be as creative and innovative as you can!

Leather Pants

They are edgy, sexy and cool and can be mixed and matched with various tops for creating one-of-a-kind looks. I couldn’t live without leather leggings or leather pants. They’re so versatile and they keep you really warm. Plus it can be worn casually during the day or dressed up for evening. Pay attention to the colour and the form of the leather pants you choose, picking the best options for your own body shape.

Chunky Knit Sweater

Good quality knits should make up a significant portion of your winter wardrobe. Fine knits are perfect for layering underneath blazers, coats and even dresses while chunkier knit sweaters are great for throwing on over your casual outfits. Choose them in colours and cuts that best suit your personal style.

The Gilet

The winter Gilet, your new wardrobe essential. This luxe layering piece adds texture to any look. The great thing about a gilet is its versatility as a piece of clothing. You can wear just about anything underneath a gilet. Work it with sleeveless tops and jeans, then pop it over knitwear when the chill sets in. The gilet works great as both an outer layer and a mid-layer to be worn under a jacket or a coat.

Ankle Boots

A winter must-have. You can do whatever heel you want whether it’s a flat or a high heel but definitely ankle boots. We can never underestimate the power of a stylish pair of boots, which can spice up even the dullest winter looks. They can elongate the legs of petite women and when it comes to the possible stylish combinations created with them, you have endless options to choose from. Ankle boots look cool with any types of pants, skirts, dresses and coats, so why not get a pair?

A Knit Sweater dress

Just like the knit sweaters, knit sweater dresses are also among the best winter wardrobe essentials that every woman needs to get. There are days when you are not into layering and mix and matching tops and bottoms, so slipping into a relaxed knit sweater dress. Wear it with ankle or knee-high boots, pick a scarf to add lots of personality to your look and don’t forget the coat when you walk out the door!

A pair of stockings

Thick tights or stockings are perfect for wearing with dress or a skirt in winter, there’s nothing better than stockings to complete your look and keep you a little bit away from the cold. So buy a pair of stocking this season to gloss up your look and wear the clothes that you want!

A Bright, Printed Scarf

Whether you choose a classic leopard printed scarf or one adorned with abstract motifs, you definitely need this stylish accessory for styling your winter looks. It’ll keep your neck warm, while brightening up even the most boring looks and taking your styling skills to a whole new level.

Beanies

Beanies and hats are a necessity for keeping your head toasty warm in winter. There are plenty of different styles of beanies available, from fitted to slouchy styles and simple to novelty designs. I find that a basic black or grey beanie that can be folded to sit firmly on the head or worn slouchy and pushed back is a versatile wardrobe option.

Tell me – what are your winter wardrobe staples?

Culottes - wear them Like a Fashion Pro

If you love the midi skirt trend, here’s an alternative! Culottes have made it back to the future and i'm loving how they have been modernized. They’re comfortable, versatile, and somehow make lady-like feel edgy. In many ways, they achieve what jumpsuits or rompers do by mimicking a dress or skirt with all the practicality of a pant.

As one can imagine, there are numerous ways in styling this look; ranging from super casual to chic to smart casual, and so I recommend letting your imaginations run wild! Not sure where to start? These basic guidelines below should help!

When shopping for culottes, keep these tips in mind:

They are generally high-waisted, so they should fit snugly around the waist to really accentuate it
Buy your first couple of pairs in classic colours that will pair with most of what you have in your closet
Go for a clean, simple style that’s not too voluminous at first—so you can get used to the look
If you’re bothered by the length, add a heel then look again
Pair with a fitted top that is comfortable and hits the waistband so you balance out the look and show off your assets

Still a little wary? Need some help envisioning how you’ll wear your new culottes? We’ve got you covered.

1. Think of them as you would an A-line skirt when going about styling them (tucking in a blouse, for example, or choosing a high-waist pair and adding a crop top), and stick to basic colours like black, navy, and off-white to get yourself started. Before you know it, you’ll be living in culottes and experimenting with fun prints and colours, but this is the best way to start.

2. midcalf is the best place for your culottes to fall on your legs. Which will give the appearance of wearing a fun swingy skirt. If you’re on the petite side, opt for a pair that falls right below the knee, and tailor them if you need to.

3. Arguably the whole point of culottes is getting to show off your shoes. Sleek ladylike options (you really can’t go wrong with a pair of pointy toe pumps with a slim heel) work best, and will instantly elongate your shape. For advanced culottes wearers, think of the pants as your carte blanche to go to town with more daring options like a thick-heeled platform or fun booties.

4. Culottes are most definitely not just a summer staple. Wear them with stalking peeking out, a blazer and a scarf for those slightly chilly days, or even with boots, which will give the illusion that you are wearing a continuous pair of pants.
