Winter 2011 Sneak Peek…

Coats
The trends for coats are moving towards following bright colours rather than the traditional muted tones of blacks, greys and nudes. Although, of course, the classic trench is always in style, and I love the versions Helen Cherry and Juliette Hogan have done for 2011.

Dresses and Skirts
We will be seeing lots of brights to contrast the drab winter days in the months to come, plus lots of feminine, pretty lace. Here are a few of my favourites (think the Juliette Hogan maxi wins as my absolute favourite!

Fur
In my opinion fur never goes out of style (make sure it’s fake of course!) My favourite piece I’ve seen so far is this Sera Lilly fur vest.

Shorts
A big winter trend will be to pair shorts with tights. I love this cute fur-trimmed pair by Claire Barker and this pair from Twenty Seven Names.
