September Suede

Is it true?

Is it actually already September? Does anyone else feel like summer only just started? I absolutely love Autumn - it's probably my favourite season for fashion (all about those layers!) but I just feel like summer has disappeared in a flash.

September means lots of new adjustments for our wardrobes, but it's a tricky one as the weather is still mild, meaning it's definitely not time to bring out our winter wardrobes just yet. We compare notes with our friends about the best summer-to-autumn transitional pieces that we can wear for the next month or so, and it just so happens that one of my transitional pieces brings two of my favourite summer trends into an autumnal look. This Suede A Line skirt is a perfect example of a fabulous transitional piece. The rust shade is the key autumnal colour, while the suede and scalloped trends will be sticking around for a little while longer. I'm wearing these lace up block heels (a steal for under �23) as much as I can before the temperature demands closed toe boots, and this white wrap top is a wardrobe essential - with a flattering V neck and belted tie up, it's a minimalistic piece which I reach for on a very regular basis!

I finish the look with my Chloe Drew Dupe bag - are you bored of this bag yet?! I'm not!

The Denim Mini Skirt

A new wardrobe staple that every girl needs in her closet is a classic, button-down denim mini.

I'm talking about that one that you find reaching for with every top, every jumper (on a daily basis). The one that literally takes all of your will power not to wear every single day because it just seems to work with everything.

This particular classic button-down denim mini is a vibrant blue, and embodies that effortless everyday look, and it's also only �28. It begs to be worn with this season's rust shade, so I paired it with a new lace up top and my (also lace up) chunky heels which were a steal at just �22.99. The fashion steals continue with the bag. You've seen it before and this definitely won't be the last time it appears on the blog - my favourite Chloe Drew Dupe which I picked up for just �40. Get the details down below! Xo

Suede & Scallops

Raise your hand if you're currently caught up in this summer's suede affair.

My hand is well and truly raised. I have fallen head over heels for all-things-suede this supper, especially after getting my hands on this stunning tan open back faux suede top from Pretty Lavish (�20!) earlier this month. The affair became more intense when I spotted these fabulous Topshop tie up suede flats, I knew instantly that they had to be mine and became instinctively pairing the two together ever since. The best part about suede? It's casual chic, meaning you can dress it up or down, while still looking and feeling on-trend and super stylish. 

As a special treat, Pretty Lavish are offering Fashion Mumblr readers 10% off by using the code JOSIE10 at the checkout, so be quick as this gorgeous top is selling out fast!

I added in my favourite Topshop scallop hem mini skirt in white (I also have the grey and white version) to really show off my tan (thank you, Vita Liberata!) and my latest obsession; this Chloe Drew Dupe bag which was an absolute steal at less than �50!

I was joined by a very special little man for this shoot, it's Rupert the Pug! Isn't he just gorgeous?!
