NYFW: Alexander Wang AW15/16

Theme:  Wang quoted his inspirations for this season as 'Punk meets Victorian Goth, Marilyn Manson and Heavy Thrash metal'

Palette: Black, black, black with velvet and leather texture.  A little bit of tartan was thrown in just to keep us on our toes.

Accessories: Platforms, hiking boots and leather studded duffle bags.

Key Look: Layered look of the fir collar thrown over a bomber over a chainmail dress.

Review: Finally, a Wang collection with not a gym related garment in sight!  The collection felt heavy and definitely appeals to those who like to live hard and fast.  Last season Wang bought us an array of fluoro but this season it was back to monochrome with the exception of two tartan jackets. Chain mail was used in conjunction with fur and added to the strong vibe  The greasy strands the models peered through with attitude emanated the kind of 90's grunge look Wang seemed to have been aiming for.  Definitely his best yet.

NYFW: Jason Wu AW15/16

Theme: 'I was kind of infatuated by global dressing and the fact that we never know what kind of weather it is'  Wu told Vogue, a result that ended in transitional pieces.  We also saw the power dressing he is so well known for.

Pallette: Starting off military like with plenty of Khakis, flowing smoothly in black before bright red hit the runway.

Accessories: Skinny stiletto heels and skinny belts aplenty. 

Key Look: #31 for me.  The fur stole perfectly adds a wintery twist on the satin jumpsuit underneath.

Review:  Sleek and sophisticated tailoring was a key component with evident 60's influences such as the satin jumpsuit.  The transferable garments such as the outerwear with detachable pieces gives buyers more bang for their buck, but the crocodile matte dresses mean clients are free to over indulge. Wu is no stranger to dressing power women that much we know.  One can't help feeling, however, that Wu is playing a little on the safe side given that his previous shows have provided us with feathers and flounces.  Knowing what he is truly capable of added to the shift in his brand aesthetic this collection seemed a little lacking.

Payday Purchase

So I've recently moved to Australia to help my company in opening in new locations. Anyone who has ever worked in this environment will tell you that the attire for such an occasion is most definitely not dresses and nice shoes. Having relocated half way round the world however made it difficult for me to bring, shall we say, more functional pieces from my wardrobe. Sure I bought a pair of gym trainers but having to put these with an outfit for work isn't ideal. 

Traipsing round an unfamiliar high street with brands you've never heard of was never going to be an easy thing to do. Luckily one of the girls had already done a walk round and informed me of a particular store 'Cotton On' that had exactly what I was looking for - slogan tee's. Between the four of us we managed to pretty much buy a sample of each available tee, with 2 for $30 (or £15 if you're like me) it's a bargain not to be missed! 

I'll admit I was over slogan tees until I saw the Britney version (left) but now I seem to have rediscovered my love of them. 

Get the Look: Naomi Watts

Many celebrities have that one thing they become synonymous with after a while. Think Jlaw and Dior, Victoria Beckham and her Birkins and Naomi Watts has herself become known for her love of Bulgari jewels, in particular her diamond snake necklace as worn on multiple occasions over the past year or so. 

As any girl knows, versatility is key when it comes to perfect accessorising, you wear good jewellery far more often than any item of clothing after all, and we love how one necklace can work in so many different ways. Having said that the necklaces $70,000 price tag is probably a bit out of most of our price ranges, right? 

Luckily then that London based designer Simon Harrison has the perfect alternative that is far more reasonable and can help us mere mortals looks as well styled as Naomi. Coming in at roughly £1500 it is still above your average price tag but as Naomi demonstrates you are sure to get your wear.

New Years Resolutions every twenty something should make

It's that time of year again, the 'New Year, New Me' pictures of salads and gym gear are about to inundate your Instagram/Faceboom/ all other form of social media. Let's be realistic, if you haven't reached your goal weight, given up smoking or ditched the sugar by the time you've reached your mid twenties then you probably aren't going to do it now just because it's January again. So do us all a favour and stop clogging up our newsfeeds and instead make some of these simple, yet realistic changes:

See the world - I thought I had to have a career and I had to have it in my twenties so I've spent my life working for something I'm still working to achieve. I've realised later than I should have that the time to travel is whilst I'm still young enough to appreciate it. 

Stop self shaming - there are plenty of people more than willing to do it for you, don't agonise over things you can change.

Stop comparing yourself to others and their choices, at least if you listen to your instinct and it's wrong you can blame yourself and not resent others for it.

Follow your heart - your head can be too sensible, if there's a time to screw up, it's now. 

Visit a European City on your day off - be spontaneous, many cities can be reached within two hours and realistically you'd spend that time travelling around London anyway! 

Stop dieting - eat your vegetables, drink plenty of water and go for a run now and again.

Don't kill yourself if you don't go to the gym, you can always go tomorrow.

Don't sweat the small stuff - shit happens, life goes on.

Clear out your wardrobe - if you haven't worn it in a year then get rid, why add clutter where it isn't needed. 

Find your passion and follow it, it's a tale as old as time but life really is too short! 

Take a social media break - live in the moment not on the Internet 

Let go of the past - it's a cliche but it's in the past for a reason

Meet a guy on a night out - get rid of tinder, if you fancy a guy talk to him, what's the worst that can happen

Stop playing games- if you want to text a guy then just text him. Again, what's the worst that can happen?

Give blood. 

Splash out on new underwear - it will make you feel better, I promise.

Keep in touch with long distance friends that are still true friends and cut out one way friends.
