I haven't always been a huge fan of military style. HOWEVER this jumpsuit I love! I got it in the Zara sale this year and it is safe to say I have not regretted it. It is so comfortable and easy to wear, I can just throw it on with a pair of boots or slip on skater shoes. You can cinch it in at the waist with it's draw strings which allows you to add shape to it if you so choose. I particularly liked the pocket details and cuffed sleeves with metallic circular poppers, it is also a good length as I am on the slightly taller side.

I turned 22 on tuesday, I can't believe how quickly the last year went but I had such a lovely day spent with my friends and family and was absolutely soiled rotten!
I have proceed to pick out a few of my favourite pieces from the AW15 collection from Givenchy. A lot of previous Givenchy collections have been strong, gladiatorial and empowering garments. Although with the return of these styles in the AW15 collection, I however have been drawn towards more of the outfits which convey slightly more feminine and softer cuts and shapes. I like the mixture of structured, tailored pieces placed over and layered with flowing chiffon dresses and silk details.
The dresses and skirts are cut lower below the knee, which makes them more appropriate for the colder weather. In addition, what drew me to the collection most was the footwear, possible my favourite feature of the collection. Givenchy's shoe collection strengths the monochrome and bold outfits by adding an edgy feel. Topshop sequin skirt limited edition
Topshop thigh high boots Zara long wool tie coat Topshop chunky boots Topshop graphic tee Topshop red heels Elie Saab pre-fall collection pieces Topshop suede carry all Asos jumpsuit Kendall Jenner looked absolutely flawless appearing in the December 2014 issue of Vogue. Voted one of the most popular models of 2014 Kendall Jenner has taken the modelling world by storm. Kendall exudes immaculate class, elegance and is quickly becoming a fashion icon. At only 19 years of age, Kendall has already appeared in countless campaigns, catwalks and is constantly the focus of media attention . I have always been a fan of Kendall's work style, not only is she magnificent in front of the lens but I admire her work ethic, for such a young woman Kendall has done extremely well for herself and her success echoes her hard work. Furthermore, the photographer of the shoot I also greatly admire. Patrick Demarchelier renown for his photographic skill and exquisite portraits of the rich and famous. He brilliantly captures Kendall's charm and beauty in these images.
I have recently been drawn towards the work of Elie Saab, the Lebanese fashion designer who has in my opinion produced an exquisite pre fall line of clothing. His pieces are beautifully made with so much detail and embellishment. These combined elements creates gorgeous aesthetically pleasing clothing. The correlation of fabrics and textures Saab has used creates graceful and elegant lines with a feminine edge. This collection seems to focus on long, flowing skirts, soft tactile fur coats and accessories as well as floral patterns and materials, this emulates a folk inspired feel and styling of the garments. Black lace mixed with lavish purple and reds. I particularly like the fusion of feminine yet bold flattering designs. In addition, the cut and fit of the Saabs designs are striking and impressive, leaving a lasting effect, he perfectly captures the essence of fall and winter vibes mirroring the colours, textures and patterns associated with the changing of the seasons. Key statement pieces such as the fur coats and jackets are cinched in at the waist to show womanly shape and figure. Saab wished to covey the modern day women's strong minded self with a soft feminine touch by adding folk vibes and style, I believe he certainly achieved this. Floral motifs create a romantic look to Saabs incredibly detailed floor length skirt, which incorporates digitally decorative flower impressions. It reminds me of painted masterpieces you might find in an art gallery.
