LFW AW15: Topshop Unique

Topshop is my all time favourite store and this Topshop Unique AW15-16 collection nailed what every Topshop girl looks for in her winter wardrobe. What makes Topshop Unique so popular is that it's affordable and wearable, making it that much more exciting. So instead of lusting after unaffordable pieces you see on the catwalk, you can actually try and buy them without having to take out a loan.

British heritage was the idea for the collection; a countryside-at-heart kind of girl escaping to London. The girls' had a windswept look with laid-back hair and blushed cheeks, bringing that sense of the peaceful, country life.

Retro day-time pieces of chunky roll necks, tartan pinafore dresses and wild flower prints were modelled before the reserved, country girls transformed into ones dressing to party in London. Ruched bodycons, side split skirts and sexy, black lace dresses were the evening pieces to die for.

Faux fur was still to be seen this season, but this time, it was featured heavily on the cuffs of coats and mini dresses (the LFD is still here, woo). Longer, multicoloured faux fur was also featured on boob tubes, bringing that extra shazam to the outfit. 

It seems as if designers are still inspired by all things retro, from 60's red velvet, to 80's vinyl flares, so get ready for a fashion flashback.

LFW AW15: Sophia Webster

The craziest carnival has arrived in London, and no I don't mean the kind with scary clowns, but the quirkiest fashion carnival displaying Sophia Webster's AW15-16 designs. This show was one like no other - the costumes, the set, the venue; everything was exciting. If you managed to take your eyes off the weird and wonderful setting for one minute, you'd notice the eclectic range of fabulous, show-stopping shoes. The collection was accurately named 'Freak Like Me' and boy, did every shoe live up to that name. 

  

Leopard print knee-highs, to pom-pom detailed stilettos, to sassy slogans such as 'Sexy Bach' and 'Boss Lady' were intertwined with the usual neon and monochrome edge - perfect for the ultimate, edgy fashionista. You'd definitely turn a few heads walking down the street in a pair of these beauties. My favourite styles from the collection were the butterfly motif shoes. These fantasy shoes have the ability to take you dreamland and back; so precious, pixie-like and elegant. 

'I like to design with a bit of sass,' Sophia said. 'A lot of the slogans come from song lyrics I like.' In regards to the pointed courts reading 'Boss Lady', she said 'Haha, that's because people in my office call me the boss lady! I really like to empower women with my shoes, there's nothing else like shoes that make you feel better, stand better, make you slimmer and make your bum look better!' 

Could these be the statement shoes of the century?
