Seventies Vibes with Boohoo

It's officially the end of Summer. September is the month for change; the days get cooler and fashion becomes transitional.

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll already know I'm obsessed with all things seventies, I really do think I was born in the wrong era sometimes! Seventies suede is having a moment right now and its continuing on into the new season. There's no better fabric to wear during this pre-autumn period. 

A suede skirt is a staple and I've paired this navy one from Boohoo with this high neck crop tee for a pop of colour. Just because it's no longer summer that doesn't mean you can't wear florals! If, like me, you can't get enough of suede, click here see all the suede goodness Boohoo has to offer. 

I think my favourite piece I'm wearing here has got to be these fringed ankle boots. Fringing is the perfect nod to the seventies trend, a great way to ease yourself in to the look without committing fully. Boohoo has a great selection of ankle boots this season and this pair are no exception. I've already worn them so many times, both casual and a little more dressed up. They look especially good with straight leg jeans. You can't go wrong with a black ankle boot, and the fringe on this pair adds interest to an otherwise plain staple. 

If you're lusting after all things seventies and boho, take a look at the selection here and here... Happy shopping!    

One for the Boys, House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards

As you may already know, the BAFTAs are taking place this Sunday in London and I will definitely be watching - I love red carpet fashion! This year, House of Fraser are the title sponsor of the event, meaning they will be dressing some of Britain's biggest stars. You can find all the behind-the-scenes action and fashion as it happens on the House of Fraser website here. 
I usually focus on women's fashion, but this time I'm turning my attention to the boys and styling up a more formal, red-carpet-ready look in honour of the BAFTAs. I've picked out a few of my favourite men's looks from awards seasons past; I love a couture gown but what's better than a good looking man in a suit?

Ansel Elgort in Prada.

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Eddie Redmayne in Gucci, and Hannah Bagshawe.

David Beckham.

David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris in Brunello Cucinelli.

I love a challenge and I've never actually styled a men's look before, until now. Formal shirts can be so versatile, they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Wedding season is fast approaching so if you are looking for some outfit inspiration, keep scrolling.

How gorgeous is this Paul Smith shirt? Quality is so important when buying items like these, they need to fit properly. Invest in a good shirt and it should wear really well. This look can easily be made more formal by adding a jacket and even a tie, take a look here. If casual is more your style, swap the tailored trousers for jeans and the look becomes more wearable for everyday, try these.   

House of Fraser houses the best of the best when it comes to men's formal wear, see their full selection of formal shirts here.
