Trend Guide: The Pastel Fluffy Jumper

The fluffy jumper is a must-have this A/W, and funnily enough, pastels are the shades to go for. I never would have gone for pastel shades in the Autumn and Winter, but candy pinks and baby blues were all over the A/W 13 catwalks and have since filtered down into the high street. There couldn't have been anything better currently in fashion than these jumpers - keeping warm in the freezing English weather and still looking chic is perfect. I am big on contrasting textures, so paired with some faux leather trousers or an asymmetric leather skirt with some thick black tights would look amazing. In my opinion, Primark is the best place to go for the fluffy jumper. They have loads of colours, and all for just £10 each! 
Because you can't find Primark online, I found some examples of the next best thing:

Trend Guide: Totally Tartan


Whether it be a skirt, a scarf or a shirt around your waist, tartan is a must have in the wardrobes of the fashion-savvy this A/W. The high-street has gone crazy for the punk inspired print, featuring in Topshop, Primark and Newlook to name but a few. It's the perfect way to inject that bit of Rihanna 'bad girl' vibe and even a hint of Scotland into a look. Try pairing a tartan skirt or trousers with a plain boyfriend tee. Or if you're going for something less daring throw on a tartan scarf with a khaki military jacket and some Chelsea boots. Tartan seems to be the print that gets me in the mood for wintry walks and the 'C' word - Christmas! Dressed up or down, tartan is here to stay for the cold days ahead...  

Here are a few of my tartan picks for this A/W:
