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!

Tuesday's style icon #2: Anna Karina

Anna Karina #2

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

Quite possibly the most beautiful woman in the world, Anna Karina is my second style icon. Her signature fringe, glorious dresses and ability to make everything look effortless are just some of the reasons for her influence on my style. She even makes drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette look amazing. If only we could put on our eyeliner flicks and peter pan collars and look as glamorous.

The world's smallest catwalk

A strange and unusual event was attended by us the other night. A collaboration with Harumika (a children's craft brand) and River Island's Chelsea girl! As crazy as it sounds this was actually a really great night. We watched 10 miniscual mannequins rotate around a tiny runway, wearing the exact collection for Chelsea girl A/W 12, but in mini form. It was very sweet and we got a great goody bag to design our own small collection. You can read more about the evening and event in my article here.

Someone cheekily snapped me looking in awe and a bit cold.
