The Fab Four!

The month of October is upon us, Summer is over and the dark nights are drawing in fast. I have teamed up with Peacocks in the Rutherglen Exchange shopping centre to look at this seasons must-haves, and I can assure you, you will be looking as hot as the summer sunshine in these stylish Autumn/Winter looks.

My first pick of the season is this fabulous bohemian look from Peacocks' 'Boho Romantics' collection. The colours of this outfit just scream out autumn glamour. If you are seeking a  smart/casual style for the weekend this may be your go-to look. These dark red jeggings can be paired with ankle boots or heels depending on the occasion. I have matched this garment with a beautiful blue print blouse and a faux fur gilet. To accessorise, I have paired this outfit with a patchwork tote bag.  This bag is a great size and has a secure zip fastening and, as if it wasn't fabulous enough, it also comes with a matching purse. This could be also be a perfect christmas gift this year for a loved one, coming in at £22.00.

My second garment of choice is probably my favourite of the season so far: the show-stopping  jumper dress. The turtle neck sweater has been a winter favourite in fashion for many years.  The 1940's saw Hollywood movie stars introducing this look and the term 'Sweater Girl' first came about, replacing the term 'Pin up girl'. Fast forward 70 years and this style is still popular. The jumper dress is the go-to look this season if  you want to look hot in the cold weather. I have chosen this gorgeous burnt orange woollen dress and matched with black leggings and a simple pair of black ankle boots. You can update your wardrobe this autumn with this jumper dress from Peacocks for only £18.00.

My third choice was from Peacocks' 'Winters Light' collection. I have teamed up this beautiful cold shoulder chiffon blouse with a pair of floral cigarette trousers. Floral is a pattern which tends to be associated with spring and summer, well not any more. This season is changing our way of thinking, and you will find a lot of heavily floral printed garments mixed in with dark autumnal colours. The chiffon blouse is such a versatile garment. Whether you are heading to the office or for a night out on the town, this blouse can be worn for many different occasions. The blouse hangs beautifully over the figure and is incredibly flattering. It covers the hips and bottom allowing you to confidently wear trousers as brightly coloured or as skintight as you like, especially for those who would usually shy away from these bolder styles. I have paired with a leather look choker and black loafers for a casual look.

Layering your look does not mean covering up your outfit. 2016 is the year of the cover-up and Peacocks have a massive range of cardigans, gilets, coats and wrap-arounds that will completely change the look of your outfit. I've picked this stunning fisherman's rib knit cardigan with a fur collar trim, which adds a touch of glamour to this casual floral swing dress. I have paired these with chunky heeled ankle boots and a leather-look shoulder bag with tassels, which comes in a steal at only £12.00.
