I've create some amazing visuals and even included some products that are available online at affordable prices to help inspire you whilst updating your winter wardrobe!

Camel & Black

Nothing looks more classy and sophisticated than a camel and black colour combo. Perfect for casual day-wear, work wear and evenings, you just can't go wrong..ever. The iconic camel coat is one of the best statement jackets you could possibly get your hands on this season. Team it with bold black trousers, patent black loafers or even a hint of leopard print to for a real style statement.

Burgundy & Mustard..

Burgundy is super popular at this time of year, but are you brave enough to try it with a hint of Mustard? The daring look works great as it almost reminds us of the crisp Autumn leaves falling from the trees. So really, you can't help but look super seasonal. The perfect combination if you're looking to stand out from the crowd and look crazy stylish all at the same time. These colours work so well together, so layer up!

In The Spotlight

Hayden Williams- Fashion Illustrator

Fashion illustrating is the communication of fashion that originates with illustration, drawing and painting. There are so many amazing artists out there at the moment with the most incredible work.

After searching and searching through inspirational pieces I have come across who is now one of my favourite fashion illustrators to date. Hayden Williams. Creating more and more powerful drawings every month inspired by all things modern including Victorias Secret, Music, Designer Brands and well loved Disney characters, Hayden has even managed to knack the hardest skill of incorporating some of his fashion designs onto celebrity faces using pencils and a sketch pad. I'm in love. Check out some of my favourite designs below.
