Plumin El
23rd August 2013 | Posted in Womens & Prints, Patterns & Colours by H. Simpson
The new A/W stock is now coming in and with it new colours. I predict plum is going to be big this season. I'm loving this colour and think gold eyeshadows and a deep colour lipgloss would really compliment it well. For bags, I'd go with deep, oaky colours, maybe even a dark tan. I'd advise against putting this colour with anything bright, it'll be too much of a clash! Our shop is full of deep purple hues at the moment, these items are our best range of plum tones...
Everyone needs a hoody in the Winter or when sitting around casually at home. Superdry are the go to brand for this, in particular hoodies, t-shirts and joggers. I'll be taking a hoody with me to my festival this weekend for when it gets chilly at night. More loungewear can be found here in my blog on 'lounging around'
This skirt is a thick one for Winter. I can see myself wearing this with a pair of tights and ankle boots when it gets cold on a night out. The skirt is smart and because of what its made out of, won't lose shape. The leather band on the waistline will give your waist a synched in effect making it more flattering. Skirts are a great alternative to a dress when your not feeling great about your body, especially when its a bodycon one. Separating the top and bottom half of clothing enables you to hide the figure more.
I'm loving the new colours of Hunters we've had in. These are rich in colour and perfect for upcoming festivals. Hunters are probably the most popular wellies that people wear to festivals, probably because they have a big celebrity following, so even though their just a pair of wellies, they're a fashion statement too. This weekend I'm wearing mine with a pair of denim shorts a little top and a waterproof mac. They'd look even better with the Hunter socks over the top too.
Dr Martens aren't for everyone. You've got to be quite 'out there' to wear them and if this is you then look no further than these purple ones. Essentially now a part of the 'free party' scene, girls are joining the boys in wearing them to outdoor raves. This colour aren't too much but still have a nice metallic shine to them. Dr Martens are the subculture's favourite and are for those who want to make a statement and be different. I like the fact that even though they're masculine, they come in feminine colours too.
These Uggs are different from the standard; they're the mini version so they're shorter. Uggs have been around for ages now and they're still going to be top footwear this winter. I've got a pair of chestnut ones but need to invest in a new pair for winter especially now we've got all the new ones in. Think studs, fur and buckles! I wear mine with skinny jeans and a hoody.
Now this may just be your average vest top but with this colour you can change the whole look of it simply by adding small details. Wear casual with jeans or jazz it up with lots of jewellery and accessories, I'd choose gold to go with this colour and lots of it!
This is another 'loungin around' option: a zip up hoody. Personally I prefer a hoody without a zip but this is a more practical option and perhaps more smarter. Its G Star branded and I think what makes it smarter is the fact it has no loose baggy pockets showing.
This Modalu London bag has just the right amount of plum to it. Not drenched in the colour but having a hinter of it with another colour that compliments it. All the others we have are just one solid colour and thats what makes this one different to the rest. Named after Pippa Middleton as she was seen wearing one, Modalu London bag awareness and sales have since soared.
