Ever since I joined tumblr a year ago, I fell in love with the brand Acne.

I love their new collection in particular, here are a few of my favourite looks:




I love the minimalist take on next season's key pieces and it creates an effortless look and a soft silhouette. A simple colour palette is used, reflecting the winter season. Blue hues provide a calm feeling and when mixed with metallics they create a sports luxe look.

I was out shopping today and I wish I had stopped various shoppers for photos to go along with this post. I have not seen so much great 'street style' for a while. Women in big hats and fur coats with knee-length brown boots and red lipstick. Little girls in floaty dresses and sparkly tights following their well dressed mothers around. Sounds like a truly pompous sight to many, but for me it was special.

In my opinion style isn't fashion. Style is something you're born with, it's engraved into your soul. Only you can express your personal style. You can improve it and learn from other people's personal expression but what you have is yours. You should not be a copy of a magazine cover, or a mannequin in a window. You can only be yourself, and being yourself is the key to your presence in the world.

Many girls dream of being a model. And a close friend of mine is on her way to becoming one.

There seems to be a new style weapon that turns any average everyday woman into a fashionista: the oversized coat. They are everywhere. Every designer shop, every high street shop.

Step 1. Decide your price range.
Step 2. Choose your shop.
Step 3. Pick your style.
Step 4. Choose your length.
Step 5. Choose your colour.
Step 6. Check your purse for your credit card.
Step 7. (If credit card is there) RUN LIKE A MADWOMAN TO THE DESK AND BUY IT.

It's not something you will ever regret buying. It will no doubt always remain a fashion statement. There is no other way to have presence than with a long coat, wedged boots and your Prada bag on your arm.
