September Style Picks!

September is here! Summer has gradually faded out and autumn is creeping in...days get shorter and the weather gets colder. But now summer is over, this doesn't mean style walks out the door too! Here are my style picks for September.

The 'Horoscope Tee' from Topshop for £16.00 is one of my favourite t-shirts around at the moment! The symbols for each horoscope are all so cool, and to have them on the t-shirt in such a simple way really appeals to me! It looks far better than Tee and Cake's star sign tee, which is over crowded and messy looking. The price is a little steep for what the top is, but it's definitely a must- buy on my list!

           
The 'Lace Panel Tee' in 'Berry Red' is perfect for the start of Autumn. The colour is perfect for September. but the lace edging to the t-shirt is perfect for the sunny days that September still has left! Available from Topshop for £24.00 which is a little steep for students but if you have the cash, definitely worth the splash!

                         
The 'Pu Crop Cardigan' is perfect for September! It is the perfect item for any sixth form, college or work wardrobe, to pull off any smart-casual look. It's warm enough to keep you toasty in the autumnal breeze but as a cardigan, light enough to make sure you aren't too hot on those summer days! The leather half sleeves add a unique look and at £22.00 from Topshop, you can't go wrong!

                                       

I am in love with the Topshop 'Annex Pinstud Chelsea Boots'! They are again, another smart-casual piece necessary for all wardrobes! Too heavy for summer and maybe a little too hot on the warmer days but perfect for Autumn, with their lack of fur and the fairly thin material. The pointer toes are perfect for kicking your way through the Autumn leaves, but at £65.00 they can be a bit of a risk!

The 'Yellow Sleevless Wrap Blouse' is the perfect transition item from August to September- whilst maintaining the bright summery colour of yellow, yellow is also the first colour the leaves turn to at the start of Autumn! If yellow isn't your colour, the blouse is also available in more autumnal browns and greys. It is a simple top that can then be teamed with a colour coordinated blazer or cardi on the more chilly days of September, and at £26.00 from River Island, it's not too bad of a price either! 

I adore this 'Dark Red Floral Leopard Print Scarf' available from River Island for £15.00. I am not normally a scarf girl, but I love the colour scheme and the clashing patterns. With a plain coloured dress or top, this scarf would be the perfect splash of colour and could provide a fabulous colour pallet for accessories- red's, orange's and browns', much like the colours of Autumn! 

River Island have so many gorgeous bag's in at the moment, but I fell in love with the 'Black and White Mock Croc Satchel', available for £35.00. Although a little pricey, I felt this was the perfect 'back to school' bag. The plain use of colours means there is no risk of outfit clashes as black and white go with everything. The material and added details, such as the tassels, add a touch of glam to the bag, making it a bit of an all rounder in my eyes! This bag would go smartly with the 'Pu Crop Cardi' and the 'Toni' dress!

The 'Misha Check Print Bodycon Dress' from Boohoo is a total bargain for just £12.00 (not including the student discount you get...!). It is perfect for going back to school or work with it's smart casual check design and it's monochromatic colour scheme. I would team this with some black ankle boots, the Pu Crop Cardigan (listed above) and then really go all out with bright coloured accessories! 

The 'Toni Drawstring Waist Sweat Dress' is a little steeper in price for such a plain dress at £18.00 but again, do not ever forget about Boohoo's fabulous student discount offers! I love the dress firstly because it's grey and that seems to be 'my colour', and secondly because it's so simple. Because of this, it can be accessorized in so many different ways and used for so many different looks- it's very versatile. You can team it with low cut converse/converse style trainers and a baseball jacket, or heeled boots and the River Island scarf above- this dress can suit almost anyone and is a worthwhile staple buy! 

I love this 'Alice Check Punkd Cardigan' from Boohoo, available for £25.00. Whilst it seems a little pricey, this cardigan could go with the plain grey dress above, or the 'Horoscope Tee' to add a little 'punky' edge to the outfit. The colour is also perfect for Autumn, but the cardigan is also available in dark green for those of you who don't like to dress so brightly! This cardigan would really go with the 'Toni' dress and teamed with all gold accessories and some dark smoky eye make up would make a really fab ensemble! 

I love bomber jackets and own two of my own already! I love the 'Brooke Contrast Sleeve Bomber Jacket' from Boohoo and at £18.00 the price isn't too steep! The contrasting colours leave you room to be experimental with your choice of accessories and the slightly sporty feel to the jacket gives a sort of 'back to school' vibe (more so if you're american I guess...). This item again could be glammed up and worn with a bodycon dress or played down and worn with some boyfriend fit jeans and a casual top- such as the 'Horoscope Tee'. 

I adore the 'Natalie Lace Up Peep Toe Boots'! Another fabulous item available from Boohoo at £28.00. I love the simple colours, as this allows the boots to be paired with so many things. The laces give the idea of 'girly' boots a bit of a sporty edge, and the heel contrasts this, whilst the pee toe shows we aren't ready to say goodbye to summer just yet! These boots would go nicely with jeans and the 'Berry Red' Topshop tee, or with either of the two Boohoo dresses. The laces allow the shoes to be dressed up or casual-d down. I think these are definitely a worthwhile buy!

                             

The 'No Photo's Please' eyeshadow pallet is the perfect Autumn pallet for me. At just £4.99 from 'I <3 Makeup' this is an absolute steal. The colours are Autumnal with the added sparkle making them appropriate for day and night. There is a fab range of colours and even some blue's thrown in there to make the transition from Autumn to Winter. The pallet even comes with a free eye primer...what more could you want??

Kicking off Autumn/Winter 14 with a killer wardrobe is a must! It doesn't all have to be costly though! Never forget about your student discount opportunities and don't forget to check out charity shops for some nifty finds too!!
