Last weekend I had the privilege of hosting the Rutherglen Exchange shopping centre's 2016 Autumn/Winter fashion show.
With shops such as Peacocks, Kids Talk, I Love Fashion and Allan M Todd Opticians getting involved and raising some money for Breast Cancer Care it was sure to be an exciting fashion filled day.
The cat walk was set up in the shopping centre, in front of Home Bargains, right in the centre of all the busy shoppers. With the music starting we were good to go, with out first show at 12:30. We were able to fit three fabulous shows into Saturday afternoon.

Our stunning models Stephanie (Miss Scotland Finalist), Andre, Chloe, Caitlin, Layla and Callum had three outfits for the day which were provided by some of our favourite local stores, to promote their new Autumn/Winter ranges.

This season we are seeing a lot of suede and fringes coming in to the stores, these fabrics and styles have stuck with us this entire year, so don't be too quick to get rid of any of these from your wardrobe just yet. The thing I really love about suede is that it literally suits everybody, It also immediately adds some retro style and sophistication to any outfit.
There is a very 1970's feel from a lot of the styles in Peacocks new Winter range. We will be keeping warm in oversized coats this season, giving any outfit an effortlessly chic look, and strutting our stuff in wide leg trousers and heavy prints.
Now, one look we saw down the runway this year, which prompts the question that splits the nation is Double Denim... do we or don't we? With so many different options of jeans in the shops at the moment and endless choices of denim shirts, blouses and t-shirts to choose from, I say twice as much denim can we twice as good! We saw a large range of coloured jeans in the stores, match these with blue denim shirts for a perfect casual combo.

The ripped/relaxed looking jeans are taking centre stage this season, I Love Fashion have a great range to choose from, from embellished openings to simple tears, they will have you sorted for that perfect pair of denims. Now don't be fooled, torn jeans does not mean you can't dress them up. So, head in to I Love Fashion's sister store, I Love Shoes, and grab a pair of dazzling heels to turn your denims from cool/casual to dance floor/diva.
The style that really stole the show this year though was the preppy look which is the 'go to' look of this season. From cute collared necklines to checked shirts and fitted jeans we can all find a way to style this look to suit ourselves. You can see a lot of this style in the junior range in Peacocks and even Kids Talk for the little ones, so no matter what your age this season you will be able to look bang on trend!
We accessorised our outfits this year using glasses supplied from Allan M Todd Opticians. Glasses are becoming more and more popular as a fashion accessory with many celebs captured wearing bigger and bolder frames each day, we all now want a pair! Allan M Todd has been taking over by new management recently and modernising a lot of their stock, so if you've never popped in before, now is your chance.
