Best Of 2014 - Fashion

Hi Guys, Following on with my recent Best Of 2014 series I though I would put together a few of my favourite clothing, accessories and outfits of 2014. For me last year was all about summer fashion there were a lot of great cropped and fancy strapped items and not to mention the co-ord and 90's take over. This was there year for fun clothing so here's a selection of my favourites. xx

Last year was the year from bringing back some old school style into your wardrobe whether its a cute matching outfits an over sized coat or elegant hat there was a touch of retro in the trends. One of my personal favourite styles from 2014 was the co-ord I love that they come in so many fun prints and different styles and can be worn of any season or occasion. The style of co-ord I find suits me best is a structured angled crop top and a pencil skirt with a fun print ( I have the palm tree in one in picture 2) I find that the gap between the skirt and crop brings in your waist giving an hourglass shape. Most co-ords are very flattering to all figures as they are designed to draw attention to the smallest part of your body. If you haven't purchased one yet I would definitely get looking for a fun an bright printed version for the summer months.

Another be trend last year was the over sized boyfriends coat this style reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and I think that there are many slightly different cuts and lengths that there is one to suit Everybody. These coats look best when left open so they really give you the opportunity to show of your stylish outfit underneath whilst staying cosy and warm. My only advice for purchasing one of these coats is take notice to the material if the texture is bobble and fluffy then it most likely is not going to be able to withstand the weather and end up looking shaggy quickly. 

The Blanket Wrap was also a big trend throughout the fall of 2014. I have owned blanket wraps for multiple years now and I think there great for throwing over any outfit to give it a touch of chic. They are so warm for such a simple piece of clothing and they come in a variety of shapes and lengths to suit all types of looks. I love these they are one of my all time favourite item of clothing and I several of them in my collection already and will continue to purchase all of the designs.

The retro 90's style shoes were all the range right from the start of the year although these types of shoes don't suit me at all due to my style not matching and because I have scrawny ankles and they look to big on me, however they can look amazing on so many people. They make wearing heels much more comfortable and look great matched with a cute co-ord and the boyfriend coat. I adapted this style into a chunkier block like heel on knee high boots and found this suited myself much better.

Finally the last two items I thought needed a shout from the year are definitely some of my most worn easily styled stylish pieces. The first being the felt floppy hat these are a great accessory especially for the English weather they can be used to add a pop of colour and a sense of style to you look. The finally piece is the statement necklace I find that the statement necklace designs have been slowly taking over the jewellery work at first I found a lot of the designs to overpriced and a little tacky but this year they stepped up the design process and created some beautiful, colourful and luxurious items. I can not recommend purchasing yourself a selection of different colours and sizes so that you always have something to glam up your everyday clothing with a touch of sparkle.

I hope you guys enjoy this series and it gives you a little insight into my style.
