Style Icon #7: Audrey Horne

Three ways to describe her style: Feminine, Classy, Sultry

Oh Audrey, what I would do to be a bit like you. Twin Peaks was the most amazing series I have probably ever watched, each character was so significant and it was just so wonderfully weird. Audrey wasn't my favourite character , but I loved her sense of style and her oddness. Tartan and brogues are always a positive for me and so that makes Audrey Horne my seventh style icon.

I'd love to hear your style icons too!

Weekly Style Icon #5: GIRLS

GIRLS #5

Ok, so Tuesday's style icon may have gone out of the window this week due to having soo much uni work. So instead here is a huge bumper icon post on the four lovely characters from the HBO series GIRLS. I love this programme, it is full of humour, wit, style and things that everyone can relate to. I cannot wait for the second series, if you haven't seen the trailer yet you can do so here.  I have done a separate 'get the look' for each character and all the items are based on individual shops I think the Girls would suit.

Top 5: Autumn colour dresses for pale skin

Wine Velvet Peter Pan Collar dress~ Topshop~£39

Green lace skater dress~New Look~£24.99

Black bodycon dress~River Island~£32

Tartan skater dress~Tiger Milly~£34.95

Lowie mustard shirt dress~Asos~£65

If you're like me and your skin is practically translucent it is often hard to not fade away into the cool air in Autumn. It is often difficult to know what colours to wear when you have fair skin and to not look totally washed out. I tend to wear a mixture of shades that aren't overly bright, in a palette of mostly green, blue, red and black. I think everyone suits black and it is often seen as a safe colour for the majority. However I think yellow in a more mustardy shade can also really suit woman with pale skin. The only colours I would stay really clear of is orange and purple! Maybe it's just me but they have never ever suited me, no matter what tone or shade I tried on. But here are a few highstreet gems I think would be worth a purchase for Autumn.

If you have any other colour suggestions please let me know!
