Pink Colour Trend AW13

The new season is awash with a sea of pink. The colour was pretty prominent in the London shows back in February with the likes of Mulberry, Moschino Cheap&Chic and Simone Rocha catching my eye with a scrummy mixture of powdery and sour shades. All of which  compelled me to confront my fears and embrace pink, subsequently starting a hot affair that I just can't get enough of. 

Pink is a daunting choice at first, but by taking inspiration from the androgynous trends lurking around it doesn't seem oh so scary after all. For example, bright pink pieces fit right in with the 90s grunge attack whilst dusky tones put a feminine spin on the Mod street mood. Of course, the colour focus still hails pure femininity with sweet sherbet and candies nodding to the suburban 50s.

Topshop Unique AW13

If you do want to try out a bit of pink as the new AW13 season approaches head to wonderful Toppers for some great picks. After clearly taking inspiration from their high fashion sister Topshop Unique,  I feel the British highstreet saviours have served up a beautiful array of choice.

Clockwise from top right; crop cami £15 knitted crotchet top £28 round sunnies £16 fluffy tee £24 earrings £8.50 slip dress £38 block shell top £30 pleated skirt £35 satchel £28 ruffle shell top £34

The fluffy tee has to be my ultimate buy of the season though, as not only does it look insanely comfortable but it also ticks off the texture craze flooding the fashion world at the moment. Gorgeous. 

Which of the ten picks is your favourite? Are you a converted pink lady?

Saint Laurent Girl

 The amazing punk-themed MET ball this week got me thinking about Saint Laurent's shock AW13 Paris show again, I adored every second of the catwalk. Not only was it full of attitude and all things grunge, but really spoke out to us 'normal' girls who can't afford a whole designer outfit without having to rob a bank. Hedi Slimane controversially pushed the 90s bar, which we have been seeing on the streets for a few seasons now, onto the catwalks of the fashion capital. The creative director seemed to be promoting our generation of style rather than his collection, quite literally stomping a statement. LOVE IT. It's actually possible to imitate some of the very looks with thrift and highstreet buys, as you can see I've already been having a play with my own wardrobe.

I'm so, so chuffed with this shirt I found in Paris back in January for only 5 euros! Yes, Saint Laurent gets me all excited about wearing this in the Autumn but I'm looking forward to Summer with this red beauty too. It's quite thick so doubles up as a jacket, will look great with some cut-offs and it really does add some oomph to an all-black outfit like so. I think it's also going to be my festival staple for a few messy weekends too. Shall I stop getting excited about a shirt now? It's a bit strange right.
