Wardrobe staple: A classic Trench Coat

The classic beige trench coat looks good on everyone! Women, Men, Children, Big peeps, Small Peeps all shapes and sizes a trench coat suits everyone!

You can wear it with workwear ,weekend wear, with a dress or with jeans and converse it really is super duper versatile!

I used to have a lovely one from Zara but i wore to its death and all the buttons went to button heaven and the pockets gave up holding onto anything anymore! I really loved that coat!

The king of the trench coat has to be Burberry (we are not sponsored by Burberry this week just so you know) but at a hefty £1095.00 it sadly won't be making an appearance in my wardrobe anytime soon!

Burberry £1095

So here are some more purse friendly options available on the high street and online!

Hobbs via John Lewis £159

Warehouse £51.20 in the sale!!

La Redoute £69

French Connection £165

Zara £69.99

Hope you have a fab Friday, I'm off to Jades with my family for the weekend as our friend Kim is visiting us! Can't wait for lots of family and friend fun!

See you tomorrow for Scrumptious Saturday!

A black skirt

Happy Friday!

Me and Jade are off to visit our lovely friend Kim in Belfast today for the weekend we are super excited!

Anyways todays post... You may or may not have heard of a girly called Olivia Palermo?

If you have heard of her then you probably know what i'm going to say next but if you haven't... The girl can do no fashion wrong!

She is the epitome of style and class, and literally looks faultless all the time (yes we know we hate her too). She's probably my number 1 fashionista!

If your ever stuck for some style inspiration and like to look effortlessly chic just google image her name and you will find thousands of amazing outfits!

I was trying to find a look for this weeks fashion friday that would transition from late summer into autumn/winter and came across this look from Olivia...

I love this look! Its feminine, chic, easy to wear and more importantly, versatile! All the items in this look are things you could easily team with other items in your wardrobe.

Theres no way i would walk around all day in heels but you could wear this look with some ballet pumps and then into the colder weather with some thick tights and boots!

A black skirt is a fab wardrobe staple i didn't realise i was missing! A looser fitting above the knee length is flattering for all heights too!

Here's some similar items to create Olivia's look...

ASOS - Oasis wrap skirt £55

John Lewis £25

Warehouse £28

Forever21 £8.40

You could wear heels if your feet can take it (i take my hat off to you) but for me with two little ones to run after i dont need to add anymore chance for incidents to my day! I struggle to dodge toys on the floor bare foot never mind in heels. So I would choose these classic pumps from office...

Office £48

Add some gold wrist wear and your ready to go! Wear with some thick black tights and boots when it's colder and you can carry the look off long into winter! 

The black skirt is so easy to wear too and i bet you have lots in your wardrobes you could wear it with! T-shirt and converse, vest top and flip flops, shirt and heels? its super versatile and i think every girls wardrobe should own one.
