Marks & Spencer Autumn picks

Autumn is launching all over the high street right now. Marks & Spencer have come with a big statement about their fashion and it’s with ‘big energy’.

No longer just about knickers and grey school trousers, the brand is pushing its fashionability giving it’s departments a fresh new drive for the season ahead. The styling of the brands marketing campaign still remains to be the best part, sometimes in real life the pieces they are pushing are still. not as fashion forward as they are styled.

I still find M&S tricky to shop instore, the layout and the merchandising still looks dated and I can’t often find pieces I am looking for because they have been put back with other pieces that you perhaps would not wear with it. Online is better but often the best things go out of stock super quickly. Whilst shopping with a client in M&S the other day I did a try on and pulled some outfits together of the pieces I liked whilst in store.

The online range is much more extensive and I love mixing up the different trends they have chosen to back this season. I have pulled together 2 mood boards of pieces I love at the moment. One is for COOL tones and one is for WARM tones.

Brand focus: ARKET

Arket smashed it’s way onto the UK high street in 2017 just after it’s launch by the H&M group. Since then its popularity has grown season upon season truly embedding itself into every fashionista’s wardrobe.

The brands aesthetic is clean, minimal, simplicity and timeless. It has a definite Scandinavian feel to the look of the brand and one you truly want to buy into. It is a lifestyle brand with the offering of womens, mens, children and baby means you can dress your whole family in the same coolness together. They also have a homewear edit so this can continue on through your home too.

I my experience of Arket buying it for myself, recommending it to clients and seeing the items in their wardrobe is the quality. The heavy weight t-shirt in white, black and colours is the ultimate perfect t-shirt, I have been wearing it for years and I have not found a better version.

I always get asked about my satin maxi skirt if the quality is any good and it has the best weight to it, I cannot recommend it enough and love the other colourways.

What I love about the brand is that everything is wearable, good quality and reasonably priced. There are not alot of brands that fit that mould on the high street anymore. You don’t have to break the bank to buy a new jumper, a pair of great fitting jeans or a new coat. The brand is strong and you can find everything you want to fill your wardrobe. They are definitely a go-to brand for me, depending on the seasons colour palette they will serve me up wardrobe hero’s and whole outfits I will want to wear and rewear.

If you are stuck with new brands to shop then Arket should be on your radar. I have pulled together an outfit for each colour season to show that you can easily make up looks and outfits from their current online offering.

Matching short sets

Right now as the temperature hits 30 degrees in the UK short sets are the only thing getting me through this hot weather. When on holiday I live in short sets, they are chic, effortless and easy to wear together. What makes them great is the fact you get so many outfits in one, packing them doesn’t mean just one outfit but lots of other combinations when you pair them with other pieces in your suitcase.

Crochet pieces for Summer

Crochet is this Summer’s biggest new fabric hit. Last summer I saw crochet start to trickle through into beach cover-up and matching sets for holidays, they are great pieces to dress up for evenings and dress down for daytime. But this year everyone is having a go at bringing this fabric upto date and giving it a new spin. My green matching set is from Mango and it is from their collaboration range with Simon Miller USA.

With so many pieces out there right now it’s hard to know what to choose and where to look. Everyone from Marks & Spencer to your Spanish retailers such as Zara and high end pieces from independents like Outdazl all have something to offer.
