It's all about the blazer this season and there are so many styles to choose from.
I have picked my favourites from the high-street.

The first one on my list is this long kimono style jacket. It's from Zara and it's a beautiful robe style with contrasting velvet roses with a gorgeous silky neckline and belt tie. I know this is not a classic blazer but I thought it was a good enough fit and I am absolutely loving this style. It would be a great piece to dress up an outfit.

As I said before a blazer can really jazz up your outfit and especially
with this awesome bright pink blazer from H&M which also comes with matching trousers if you want to really standout. I definitely would!

Now I am absolutely obsessed with this bottle green striped blazer which actually also has matching trousers and they're culottes which gets extra points! I really love this blazer because it look so stylish and sophisticated but also looks super cool. Very unique with the colours and stripes.

This grey check boyfriend style blazer is another one from Zara, what can I say they have done well this season, it's oversized and has a real classic suit style which is really popular this season. Definitely would be a staple!

Who doesn't love velvet! This Topshop midnight blue blazer does not let me down the colour and fabric makes it look so luxurious and I think it's a perfect blazer to invest in especially leading up to christmas as it's a perfect festive party piece that will set to WOW.
Speaking of velvet another great velvet piece is this Zara velvet tux style blazer. It's a gorgeous style that would be a great party piece and would be great paired with some black trousers or a midi skirt, then you will be set to go!

It can't be all play so this H&M checked wool wrap over blazer is a great piece for your workwear wardrobe. It has a really nice D ring belt which is a twist on the classic blazer. I think this blazer looks very sophisticated and more expensive than it actually is.

Another blazer which has a twist on the classic style is this cropped green and white checked blazer from Topshop. This blazer is a refreshing twist on the classic style as it's cropped with a bold checked pattern and there are also some matching trousers. It's a very 90s style.

I am absolutely loving the colour of this Ganni blazer it really is a stand out piece as it's a classic blazer style with the pin stripe and the contract of the pink really works well.

Metallics are one of my favourite things and there are quite a few metallic oversized boyfriend style blazers, which you can also wear as a dress, out this season and are perfect for the holidays. This one is from Topshop and it's a really nice grey silver metallic. There is also a really nice gun metal metallic blazer from &Other Stories. I can't find this one online so if you go in store keep an eye out.

What do you guys think of blazer? Whats your favourite style?

COATS EDIT | WINTER

Okay, so I've been really excited about this post because, although the days have gotten shorter and we're waking up to frosty mornings, it does mean that it is OFFICIALLY coat weather. Coats are such a big topic! I mean there are so many different styles and for me they have different purposes. I wasn't how sure how to do this post whether I should focus on one style or have one of each... but I decided to go for my top 10 (it’s actually 11... sshhh!) favourite coats on the high street. So there is definitely likely to be a part 2 of this post soon... Anyway back to this post!

I will just state now that these are in no particular order.
The first on my list is the Anya coat from All Saints, it is the most expensive of them all at £345 but, I will say from having an All Saints coat, that they are really great quality and are worth the money and they often have promotions. I love the style of this coat because it is oversized but not excessively so.

I have always loved the Aviator style jackets I think they have such a cool vibe about them. I do prefer the more classic colour combination of the brown suede and a cream shearling but this red one from Warehouse caught my eye and I actually really like the quality and the fit which is pretty good for an aviator style.

The third one on my list is this grey blue robe style coat from Topshop. Its ballooned sleeves and big gold button remind me of the 80s style. This coat looks super cosy and perfect for a winter and maybe even a snowy day if we're lucky!

I was never really that mad about puffer jackets because they tend to be black, navy or red and they just seem quite ubiquitous and nothing special. However I do think you really do need some type of puffer style jacket in your winter wardrobe as they are more practical on wet and ice-cold days and I would be more than happy to swap my wool coat for this Mango Bright blue puffer.

The fifth on my list is this tailored wool coat from COS and it's the winter coat I have invested in for this season. I really love this tailored style of this coat because I find it the most flattering for my shape. I do love the look of the oversized styles but unfortunately a lot of them drown me. As well as this coat being a great style, the thing I love the most about it, is the colour. It's a really nice taupe which I find really suits my skin tone and it's also very neutral and will go with anything. Keep your eyes open for some styling on this one.

I think I have said before but &Otherstories is one my favourite brands and I knew they would have a coat or coats that would go straight on my wish list. One of my favourites is this green wool and mohair blend coat. It is slightly oversized but it does have the style of classic tailoring. Also how can you not love the green check of the fabric?

It obviously wouldn't be a favourites post if there wasn't something from Zara in here. This coat has the fabric and texture of an aviator jacket and the classic cut and structure of a wool coat. It's a great choice if you’re not really into the aviator style of jacket but love the suede and shearling.

This grey checked coat from New Look is an absolute steal at £29.99. It is a real classic style of a longline tailored coat and the grey check is so versatile and will go with any of your winter outfits.

I wanted to include a faux fur coat in my favourites because I am sucker for one. I really love the long style as it looks like you've just left Carrie and the girls after a Cosmo! I was really torn between two to put in my favourites and in the end I went for this one from Mango, the other is from &Otherstories and I’ve linked it below (I know!... kind of cheating). I just really love the bright mailbox red of the coat. It's not cheap at £119 but considering it's ankle length I think it's pretty good value for money compared to other fur coats.

My 10th favourite is this yellow and black heavy check mid-length coat. I like it because of the balance of the heavy check and the light colours of the yellow and cream. This coat has a 'Clueless' look about it which is obviously a great thing.

The final coat of my favourites edit is this pink teddy bear coat from Warehouse. I really love the fleecy texture as well as the pale pink colour. It looks so snug especially on a frosty day. I am actually really impressed with Warehouses' coats this season, definitely one to keep your eye on!
