What defines this look is the slim tunic silhouette and defining the waist (not a smock top in site)! Cinching in the waist with a belt and wearing all one shade of colour but adding different textures and bold statement jewellery to break up the line of the body.
There is something about August that makes me want to look ahead at the Autumn/Winter fashion trends - even if I’m going to be shopping on the high-street. You can look for yourself at Vogue. The other trends that stand out for me are bold costume jewellery and long coloured, gloves, the ‘Folk’ look and ‘Tomato Red’ - not all at once mind you. In fact, why change your whole wardrobe when sometimes just changing your accessories does the trick.

When the postman arrived with my new Amber & Jade ballet pumps it was as if Christmas had come early. The box was beautiful, the dustbag was beautiful and as for the shoes… Amber & Jade shoes scream of quality, made with care and the highest quality leather and materials they really are designer footwear for the larger foot. You can really see the difference in quality between these and your average high street shoes. They recommend going up a size in their shoes, so I ordered the size 10’s. I have quite wide feet and Amber & Jade shoes are a B fitting, (although they will be offering wider fittings in the near future) so I had to do my usual shuffling around my flat in the thickest pair of socks I own to stretch the leather, which is of such good quality, that it didn’t take too long to mould to the shape of my feet. Another feature of their shoes are the reinforced leather sides and higher reach above the heels, which feels odd at first because I’m used to ballet shoes with a low back but this feels incredibly supportive and comforting after wearing them for just an hour or two.
