December fast approaches and it’s definitely time to get excited for Christmas and the holidays. Inspired by Louis Vuitton S/S bright white is a very hard trend to pull off, but with the festive party season coming up it’s a trend that will look great in the cold winter months and will be a colour to pull out once Spring and Summer hits too.

Before I launch into this ‘Wear the runway trend now…” I just wanna apologise for being so M.I.A. with blogging lately. I’ve just finished my second week at University and it’s just been so hectic. I’m fairly settled now, getting used to my timetable and working out how to fit blogging into my schedule so hopefully
Right, now that formalities are out of the way, let’s delve into McQueen.
It’s no secret I’m a huge Alexander McQueen fan and Sarah Burton’s S/S12 collection at Paris Fashion Week definitely did not disappoint. It was classic McQueen opulence, ever regal and wonderfully detailed.
The trends I’m picking out to incorporate into your A/W wardrobe are lace and ruffles.
The trick to incorporating this trend is to use it in small doses. Dress the lace top with jeans or the ruffled cardigan with a simple LBD and you can’t go wrong. You can, of course, go for the OTT McQueen look, simply stick to the same colour palette when using both lace and ruffled details to keep the look classy, but I suggest that that look is for the brave hearted.

With all my fangirling over the Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry runway shows I very nearly missed the Giles S/S12 collection. As always it was wonderfully eccentric and full of beautiful Gaga-worthy gowns and tailored pieces with a simple colour palette of primary reds, white, nudes, black and the main trend I want to showcase…metallic silver.
This particular trend is very hard to pull off, but I’ve picked out some items you can buy now to incorporate into your Autumn/Winter wardrobe without looks like a Christmas ornament
The trick to making them look more “Giles” is to go for simple designs and classic shapes. And as great as the full-on silver suit above looks on the runway, translating it into real life may be pretty hard to pull off. So go for one statement silver item at a time or accessories using shoes or jewellery.
