LATE SUMMER DREAMING: Autumn Workwear

This week's Late Summer Dreaming post is all about the new season's fashion, in particular looking at more formal and tailored clothing. Perfect for work or a new term at University, we hope these Autumn workwear outfits give you a little inspiration into the tailoring trends we're loving for the new season.

The Full Midi Skirt

The midi is a perfect choice for work, especially this simple textured one from New Look. Pair with a neutral-toned top, shoes and bag to keep the outfit formal, but add a little sparkle and your own style through your jewellery. We love this layered floral necklace from M&S.

 

Skirt: New Look          Top: H&M           Necklace: M&S           Bag: ASOS

The Cropped Trouser

The cropped trouser is a great seasonal item and works really well with heels. Pair them with some nude shoes to give the illusion of longer legs, and match your bag to your shoes to make your look appear more put together. We love this relaxed jacket from H&M to soften the outfit.

 Jacket: H&M        Trousers: ASOS        T-shirt: Topshop        Heels: Topshop        Bag: M&S



The Contrast Collar Dress
Simple, yet chic, this dress is a go-to on sunnier days, or even when you don't know what to wear! Team with dark shoes and bag and some dainty jewellery and your look is complete. We love this pencil dress from Tempest - #MadeinWales!

Bag: ASOS       Entwined Rings: Topshop       Band Ring: Topshop       Boots: Topshop       Dress: Tempest



The Flared Trouser
The 70s trend is continuing into Autumn/Winter and the flared trouser, while maybe being a bold choice, is perfect for the workplace. Flattering and bang-on trend, we love this look. Pair with burgundy accessories to complete your Autumnal outfit.

Trousers: River Island at ASOS      Shirt: Oasis       Bag: Oasis      Watch: Olivia Burton       Shoes: ASOS

LATE SUMMER DREAMING: Casual Fashion

With this month's theme being all about late summer dreaming, today we've put together a fashion inspired post for you all. At this time of year we're thinking about the transition from summer into autumn (or fall, as you say in the US) and with that, a new year and term of University.

So today we're talking casual outfits that will be perfect for the transitioning seasons for your day-to-day life: lectures at Uni, a catch-up lunch with a friend, or just popping to do some shopping. Enjoy!

K's Picks

This laid back look is very simple to achieve, yet it looks super put-together. I love the addition of the leather jacket and some cut-out black pumps to the distressed denim, it gives the outfit a more grungy, harder edge.

Jacket: Miss Selfridge         Shirt: New Look         Skirt: Monki at ASOS         Pumps: Dolce Vita at Nordstrom

This outfit is super casual, yet still looks summery for those (hopefully!) warm transitioning days. The slouchy tee and jeans teamed with this tailored fedora and gorgeous watch balance out the outfit, mixing the perfect amount of casual with more structured accessories.

Hat: ASOS          Watch: Olivia Burton          Birkenstocks: Office          Tshirt: Zara          Jeans: Topshop

S' Picks

When it comes to Autumn, you can expect more rainy days than sunny ones! To prepare for the damper weather, a light jacket is both chic and practical. Paired with black jeans and a simple long-sleeved tee, this outfit has a slight Parisian feel to it.

Coat: ASOS           Tee: H&M            Jeans: Topshop            Shoes: Topshop            Bag: Zara

For more of a laid back effortless look, this shirt dress teamed with a pair of New Balance trainers and a backpack inspired by this outfit is perfect for any casual day.

Dress: Missguided               Bag: Topshop               Shoes: Schuh

We hope we've given you some inspiration for your casual wardrobe for the upcoming changing of seasons, and a little insight into our own personal styles.

LATE SUMMER DREAMING: House Decor

For today's post we're introducing this month's theme. Around this time each year as the summer season is near its change, we always begin to think about decor and creating a new look for our living spaces. As we are still in University, we always feel that September is more of a new beginning for us than January, and with S moving into a new house and K creating spaces to call her own, this is a first look into our current decor inspiration and style. So here are some of our favourite interior styles paired with items from our wish list. 


Office 

Office decor has become very popular as of late. An office can be one of your most personal rooms in the home; it's a space that you don't have to share, meaning that you can truly go wild with your personal style and taste. We love being able to personalise an office space with a gallery wall full of photos and a light up letter for the table. We also love this lamp from John Lewis, but for a cheaper option, Tiger also sell a similar one.

                  Drawers: Debenhams            Light Letter: Etsy             Frame: Paperchase            Lamp: John Lewis            Planner: Etsy 

Bedroom

We feel that your bedroom is one of the places in a house (especially if you're sharing!) that you can truly make your own, so go for it! Let your style and tastes shine through in your decor choice: little details can say as much as bold items too, like these gorgeous string lights combined with the wooden ladder.

Throw: Asda,    Lights: The Little House Shop,    Mirror: H&M,    Faux Sheepskin Rug: IKEA,    Plant Stand: IKEA



Kitchen
We feel that the kitchen is well and truly the heart of the home; it's where you probably spend most of your time, either cooking an easy weekday meal or having friends over for a weekend takeaway, so it needs to feel loved with its decor. A trend that we're falling head over heels for lately is copper and rose gold and we couldn't resist adding a bit of this colour in our kitchen.

                         Kettle: NEXT                       Plate: H&M                           Toaster: NEXT                         Cups: NEXT

Bathroom

 For some, a bathroom can be a room of escape and relaxation, so choose items that will suit your needs! We love neutral tones for a bathroom, but our tip is to choose a colour and stick to it. We've chosen these copper accessories for storage (this basket is a firm favourite), and the green in the aloe adds a pop of natural colour.

 Basket: H&M,        Revitalise Candle: Chloe Jane Candle Co,       Vase: H&M,       Aloe Plant: Ikea,       Candle Holder: H&M 


We had so much fun creating this post today: it's clear to see that we LOVE home interiors, so check out more of our home inspiration on our Pinterest board!  Remember to follow us on Twitter & Instagram too! 

See you Sunday
