The Fashion Edit: Why you need to be wearing RED







This autumn winter look out for red, it was all over the catwalks and is making a fashion comeback in a big way.

One style tip its so important to remember when transitioning seasons is to use the next season colours and patterns in the current seasons texture.

Summer season is all about lighter fabrics and off the shoulder bardot, by mixing these with next seasons hot colour you are acknowledging both. Look out for pieces that combine a nod to both seasons and you'll be right on trend.
If you are anything like me you will already be going mad in the shops, looking out for the perfect pieces to make up your autumn winter wardrobe and red is making a big comeback...which I love!

This play-suit from zaful is my baby at the moment, I love it and its so perfect for the change in season. Accessories make an outfit, so I paired it with a hand piece and a 3 tier necklace...who else is loving layering their jewellery at the moment? I really recommend having a look at their pieces they are incredibly affordable and right on trend, shipping is fast and the products I've received have been great quality and fit to size!

What trends have you loved from spring summer and what are you looking forward to wearing in Autumn Winter?

Motivational Monday #7 Does Progression take Patience?

There are a few things I wanted to discuss in this weeks post that have come up over the last week, and I just wanted to see what other peoples thoughts were on them.


Initially I wanted to discuss progress. Often we think of progress as moving forward, getting closer to our goal and making an achievement. But what if this is just the end result?
Personally I think of progress as something that is ongoing and involves not just success but also failure. When you don't achieve you learn. All to often we dont try things for a fear of getting it wrong or failing, but this is all part of progression. We have to try things and then stick at them through failure, making those mistakes in order to move forward, to learn. We can then make changes, and try again. Its only after all this hard work that success can be achieved.


This links to the second point that I wanted to discuss in this blog post and that involves patience. This is the area where I really struggle. Im not scared of starting something new but I am impatient. I want to be the best at whatever I try straight away, I want to get stuck in and be succeeding. This isnt always possible and often we have to work hard for many years before we see any result. I will tend to want to give something up quickly, because I'm so keen to move onto the next idea in my head. Although its great to have a lot of goals and be keen to achieve them all sometimes success comes from patience and keeping going at one goal until its been achieved, through failure and success.

Do you take opportunities when they come or do you put them off because of a fear of failure preventing progression, or do you take that first step and then become impatient? I'd love to know people thoughts on these topics! Message me your thoughts +Emily Isobelle Jane or on facebook and let me know your thoughts!

Happy Monday Everyone <3

WTF Friday Cullots and Trousers

When someone says the word culotte to me I just think back to my days as a brownie. Anyone else who like me was a proud brownie for most of their childhood will remember the beautiful brown culottes that we had to wear...I wasn't a fan then and NEVER did I think these alien shorts that looked like a skirt make it into fashion. BUT...this summer trousers and culottes are right on trend and I have to admit, its a trend I absolutely LOVE. 

Today I've scouted out my top three pieces from ZARA, let me know what you think! 

ZARA
Zara is my no.1 go to for affordable fashion and they dont dissapoint on the trouser front. I recently bought a pair of 7/8th polkadot trousers in zara for just £10!! They have so many lovely pieces in there at the moment.
