Autumn/Winter Nail Polishes: Copper & Bronze

This is part two of my autumn/winter nail polish recommendations, if you missed my first post on the best berry toned polishes check out the full post HERE!

Nails are a great way to express your fall fashion loves - they subtlety add life to an outfit, can draw a whole outfit of different colours together in one go and can add a pop of colour to the darker winter days. Bronzes and browns are a particular favourite because you can get so many different shades that can create entirely different looks - a particular trend is the metallic nail so I've included some metallics, some glittered and some more subtle toned too. Here are my top four favourite bronze toned nail polishes for Autumn 2012 (Note: To gauge the look, pictures of all of the varnishes on my nails can be found in the polish reviews)!

Essie Nail Polish in Penny Talk 

A reflective pinky copper polish  - a metallic colour with an interesting final look but at the high end of the nail polish market. Check out my full review of the polish HERE.

Accessorize Metallized Nail Polish in Copper

A bronze tone that definately lives up to its 'metalised' claim - the edges of the polish, although clean, seemed to dirty like the metal was rusting, creating a fascinating look. Check out my full review of the polish HERE.

Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Nail Polish in Fudge Brownie

A light, subtle, pinky brown tone - at only £3.99 and available across the high street, its well worth the price with great staying power. Check out my full review of the polish HERE.

Max Factor Max Effect Nail Polish in Red Bronze

A sparkly bronze with a deep red highlight. Needs a lot of coats to give a great look but its well worth the time! Check out my full review of the polish HERE.

Accessorize's Luxe Bags Collection

Last week, Accessorize revealed their new line of signature handbags - named the 'Luxe Bags' line, the collection is made up of 8 handbags in a selection of colours. Including a backpack, totes, crossbody bags and clutches, the bags are quite unlike the usual pieces you find at Accessorize nowerdays. 

I for one, go in there knowing that I'll find an individual and uniquely stylish bag which is bohemian yet modern and professional looking at the same time - that's why so many of my bags come from that store because they're such a great mix of styles.  This is a very formal collection and for me, I feel that's quite different for them - perhaps their looking to cater for an older audience, as I can't see too many of these styles (especially the backpack) being worn by the younger generation. 

Saying that, I do love the clutch and think it would be perfect for a prom or night out, and I have no doubt I'll be seeing these bags on everyone soon enough!

What do you think of this new collection? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Jack Wills Autumn Term 2012 Film

Check out the Jack Wills Autumn Term 2012 film above! The videos are so romantic and quintessentially wild and British that I love them!

I am so excited for fall - I love mini dresses with thick tights or leggings; chunky boots with skinny jeans; oversized cardigans with tight tanks; and sweaters and shorts when you're chilling at home. Layering is so much fun and I think Jack Wills have got it perfect with this film - I especially love the first female outfit in the film with the chunky cardigan and printed blue and white mini dress, its exactly my style!

What are your favourite outfits from the collection? Let me know in the comments!

Accessorize Autumn/Winter 2012 Preview

Earlier this week, press and bloggers were invited to Accessorize's Autumn/Winter 2012 Preview at their London headquarters. With a huge range of handbags, woolen winter warmers, jewelry and more, there are definately a number of things I would love to try (I particularly love the Owl bag which you can glimpse in one of the photos). I wish I could've attended - the event looks like it was fabulous and I'm very impressed by their new collection.

Check out some of my favourite pictures from the set-up below and take a look at the full collection preview HERE.

Twenty8Twelve Autumn/Winter 2012

The Twenty8Twelve Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection was debuted at London Fashion Week earlier this week and I found their pieces and looks very intriguing! 

The presentation itself was different too with Vogue stating in their Catwalk Report:

"Titled “Faceless Featured Film”, the installation took place in a darkened room and featured rows of screens playing footage of each of the 12 autumn/winter 2012-13 looks modelled by one of three “muses” emerging from smoke and shadow."

The brand was founded in 2007 by Sienna and Savannah Miller, who left the company earlier this year, although the newest collection stuck to the brand's trendy aesthetic. The pieces are perfectly tailored, beautifully designed and fabulously unique! The collection itself is a mixture of mini dresses, tailored jackets, chunky knits and classic British fabrics and styles - love it!

What do you think of the collection? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Victoria Beckham A/W 2012

Victoria Beckham Officer Pleat Flare Dress in Black

I was massively impressed (as I seemingly always am!) with Victoria Beckham's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection during New York Fashion Week earlier this month. I thought her collection was absolutely stunning and can't wait to see them worn by celebrities across the red carpet over the coming months.

Victoria seems to know exactly what dresses suit women's figures and really plays to that in the individual dress designs. She changes her brand's look each collection but keeps the same fabulous traits like the chunky visible zip down the back of many of her dresses. The venue she picked for her show was stunning with the wooden floorboards and backdrop that perfectly set off the dresses she's created this season. Finally, I loved the boots and chunky socks that she chose to pair each of the dresses with - perfect for fall!

I've chosen some of my favourites above and below but you can view the entire collection on her website! What was your favourite piece from Victoria this season? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
