Red Alert

Photos via Pinterest

Style Theory: A red piece of knitwear or a red accessory is the perfect item to add a pop of festive colour to an outfit. I am always drawn to red at this time of year, whether it be a slick of red lipstick, a fab red tote bag or a cosy deep red jumper, it makes me feel Christmassy..

I have tracked down the best red knitwear and accessories on the high street now....

Topshop £39

An easy throw on jumper, perfect with pale blue jeans and trainers for the school run, dress up with black, ankle length jeans and heels for an evening out.

Mango £35.99

Brand new in to Mango, this open knit work jumper looks cosy and chic at the same time.

Topshop £34

Red, stripes, ruffles, love everything about this blouse. It is see through so I think I would wear a red vest underneath (M&S have great basic cheap cotton ones £5) Again I would pair this with my pale blue boyfriend jeans and some gold heels (Love these Aldo ones)

Me+Em £75

A beautiful, flattering red jumper, cut beautifully with button details on the sleeve. This jumper looks gorgeous on and is not too bulky or warm so perfect for a evening out.

Zara £39.99

Zara has brought this style of blouse out for the last couple of years, it is a real winner. It looks expensive and luxurious on, tuck it into your jeans and sling on some heels for an easy, glamorous look.

Asos £30

Such a pretty cardigan, looks fab done up and worn as a jumper, sling on a pair of ankle length skinny blue jeans for a perfect Boxing Day look.

&Other Stories £125

This bag is made from the most beautiful, buttery soft leather, the perfect accompaniment to a camel coat.

Radley £109

I love my red tote bag, I use it non-stop. It looks great with all my coats, navy, khaki, camel and patterned and carries my trainers perfectly when I wear heels (I always need trainers to motor around to meetings and at the end of a night out)

Topshop £75

Super cool, these boots can do all the talking, wear with kick crop ankle length jeans and a neutral top (as Lucy Williams has in the streetstyle photo above)

Zara £79.99

I completely adore these boots, again they would look fab with black crop kick flare trousers and a neutral/black top.

Accessorize £12

I am loving berets this season, they look great and are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your look.

Are you feeling the love for red at the moment, has the Christmas colour got to you too? As always I would love to hear you thoughts and comments, until next time Fran xxx

My Top Ten Chic and Stylish Christmas Jumpers..

Jumper - Bella Freud £290
Dungarees - Asos £65
Shoes - Gucci

Style Theory: I love a novelty Christmas jumper but I do prefer a jumper I can wear at Christmas and for the months following too. It needs to be sparkly, festive but fit in with my winter wardrobe. To be worn for Christmas drinks with jeans and heels, on Christmas day with a skirt and ballet pumps or on Boxing day with cashmere joggers and Uggs... and through the year with my jeans and trainers

So without further ado here are my top sweaters..

Bella Freud £280

The bell sleeves, the gold detailing, this is the ultimate chic Christmas jumper.

Bella Freud £290

Red, super christmassy but also looks just a good with denim shorts and white trainers in the summer, a true all year around investment.

Selfish Mother x Save the Children £45

Half the proceeds of the sale of this jumper goes to Save the Children, so not only is this a beautiful, tasteful (not just for Christmas) sweater, you know some of your money is going to a good, needy cause.

Hush £85

This is the most perfect Christmas day sweater, it so soft and cosy, wear on Christmas day with a black tulle skirt (I love this one from New Look £20) and heels. Or on boxing day wear with leather leggings or coated jeans and Chloe style boots, wrap a red cashmere scarf around you for a chic and festive look.

J Crew £158

This does not have a hint of Christmas about it but would be so lovely to wear (or add to your Christmas list) for Christmas day.

&other stories £65

I have featured this sweater before but I just cannot resist &Other Stories knitwear, it is so good, the perfect slouchy Christmas sweater.

Zara £19.99

Just seen this and have purchased (ordered a M and L - just incase!) shimmery, just add baggy comfy Christmas day jeans, sparkly socks and heels.

Oliver Bonas £45

This jumper looks so more expensive than it's £45 price tag, a gorgeous midnight blue, style with a silver pleated skirt and trainers for a cool look.

Sugarhill Boutique at John Lewis £44

Subtle but very pretty, could be worn through the year.

Hobbs £89

Again, perfect tucked into a silver pleated skirt with heels.

So paired back and maybe a little killjoy on the fun, novelty Christmas jumpers front but to be honest I am so stuck for space and if I am going to buy a jumper I need to wear it a lot and make it work hard for me in my wardrobe.

Have you bought a Christmas jumper yet? Have you gone the whole hog, Santa, reindeers lights etc or are you like me and like it paired back? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Fran xxx

It's Time to Up the Sparkle Factor..

Photos via Pinterest

Style Theory: It gets to this time of year and suddenly there are not enough sequins in my wardrobe to keep keep me happy. I go into complete sparkle overload and I want to bring you with me!! 

As with all my outfits I always need a heavy dose of the dress down element and to neutralise an all over sequin top I just add a pair of slouchy, boyfriend jeans and a pair of trainers or some comfy heels, throw a bomber jacket or parka over the top and I have the perfect Christmas event look..

Here are my favourite on the high street now, just add boyfriend jeans..

H&M £29.99

This top looks shinier in the flesh and is the one I have ordered, I sized up one size as I really didn't want it too tight.

Topshop Flared Sequin Top £65

Gorgeous top with a cut out detail on the back but not very big cut out so you can still wear a bra! Not online yet but will be soon..

Topshop Long Sleeve Sequin Poloneck £75

Just completely fab, I would size up on this also, it looks better not skin tight.

Very - Myleene Klass range £25

The bronze sequins look good on this top, it looks slight Tibi-esque..

Asos Slouchy Sequin Top £55

Love this sweater, perfect for daytime sparkles. As it is a slouchy fit I would wear with skinny jeans rather than boyfriends to balance out the bagginess.

Oasis Sequin Top £38

More of a knitwear top..really easy to style up or down.

Zara £22.99

Love this top, it would be like wearing a disco..

Mango £34.99

A finer top, easily tucked into jeans.

Bershka £29.99

I think I will be tracking this one down too, I mean you can't have too many sequins can you?

I didn't buy into this trend last year and now I really wish I had, I am not planning on missing it this year, I have the sparkly leggings (last year) the pink sparkly skirt (H&M this year) now I need a sparkly - preferrably turtle/polo neck - but dont worry I will not be wearing them all at once!!

Are you getting into the sequin overload swing of things, or are you playing it down a little this year? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and sparkly comments, until next time Fran xxx

Chic, Stylish Daytime PJ dressing....

Style Theory: The pyjama suit has broken out of the bedroom and into daytime dressing. Thanks to Celine, Alexander Wang, D&G and Thakoon, the luxe silk pj look is now not only confined to the bedroom. It is a look that takes some getting used to and has a slight feel of 'really?!' but it is a trend to dip your toe into, not only is it possibly the most comfortable trend it looks pretty sophisticated on too. 

Top - Monsoon £69

Trousers - Monsoon £69

Jacket - Topshop £79

Shoes - Dune (old season)

Ph by Victoria Metaxas

So I have gone the 'whole hog' and worn the matching top and bottoms from Monsoon. I absolutely love this suit, the print is stunning, the fabric is a light cotton and the trousers have an elasticated waist..this, without a doubt, will be my Christmas day look this year. It is not for the faint hearted and I have to take a fair amount of stick from family for wearing my PJs during the day but I love this look, laid back but chic.

If you are not ready to take on the full PJ look here are a few beautiful Pyjama style tops that look amazing with jeans and heels, a perfect addition to you Christmas wardrobe...

Topshop £36

This is very Kate Moss-esque, it would look fab with black skinny jeans and ankle boots and a biker jacket, the leopard print gives the pj top a rockier edge.

Topshop £42

This top is utter sophistication, I think it looks so much more expensive than £42, it will look fab at Christmas but also will look just as good in the cool summer evenings with denim shorts and white pumps (just roll up the sleeves) a good investment piece.

Warehouse £35 (today £28)

A beautiful, subtle take on the pyjama trend, this black shirt is sleek and chic, perfect with black trousers or blue jeans and black heels.

River Island £8 (on sale)

This is the perfect way to try out the trend with minimum investment, wear this PJ top with pinks and reds for a perfect 2016 look. It also comes in black - see below.

River Island £8

I think this top would look better tucked in to Mom style blue jeans, add a pair of black/leopard print heels and you have the perfect Christmas night out look.

Asos £45 (take 20% off with code GOGOGO - today only)

Love the chevron pattern, really eyecatching, it will look fab with black skinny jeans and trainers.

Asos £40 (20% off with code GOGOGO - today only)

The cutest top, a reclaimed vintage top - made from vintage fabric, this is another top that will see you seamlessly from winter to spring to summer.

Asos £65 (20% off with code GOGOGO today only)

This Religion top is beautiful, a very sheer top so you would probably need a vest top underneath. Wear with black jeans and flat statement shoes.

A few ideas how to style the pyjama top below..

Pyjama Shirts can so easily be slotted into daytime wear. Comfy and cool...

What are you thoughts on the Pyjama top, would you wear it during the daytime? As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Fran xxx
