Fashion Friday: A Sneak Peek in to Mint Velvet's New Collection

Mint Velvet has fast become one of my go-to brands for effortless and versatile pieces that will work hard in your wardrobe by mixing and matching and creating lots of different looks.
 

The classic white longline chiffon shirt (below) will become a prominent piece in your wardrobe and is available to buy in store/online from August (£59)...get inline!  

Ballet Flats, £95 French Sole | Necklace, £30 Butterfly Lane |  Snood, Trousers & Shirt from the new Mint Velvet Collection

Ok, the sequin detail trousers scream winter/festive dressing, but I couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek.  They are more versatile than you think too, you could also team with a slouchy knit or a neat tucked top.  Get creative!  (Available from September, £99). 

Faux fur is still a big trend for the upcoming season and this furry little snood is so much fun. (Available from September, £45).

Yes, you could wear heels with these trousers for a dressier look, but these classic French Sole ballet flats will look equally as chic.  I always opt for the Henrietta shape as they slightly narrow with a little bit of toe cleavage. 

Finish with our 'Spaced Necklace', £30.

(Pre) Falling in Love

It's that time of year again, we are saying goodbye to the 'oddments' left in the sale, and saying hello to the pre-fall collections.  An autumn/winter wardrobe is by far my favourite of seasons, so I have found a few pieces that are a must for your transitional wardrobe.

The new 'Dayton' dress by Reiss (also available in ivory), is a gorgeously versatile piece.  Wear now with bare legs and flats for an office/daytime look, or team with heals for a stylish alternative. Or thirdly, wear with tights, ankle boots and a knit for understated winter glamour.

Zara Backpack, £79.99 ,  Hobbs Poppy Pumps, £119, Reiss Dayton Dress, £159, Butterfly Lane Bracelet, £12

I'm loving the 'backpack' at the moment, and this stylish one from Zara will do just the job!  I just love the chain detail.

Who doesn't love a pop of leopard?  These comfy Poppy pumps from Hobbs will be your pre-fall saviours.  Wear with dresses or skirts, trousers and jeans...you'll never take them off!

A casual bracelet is just the ticket for your styling needs, and this rope/beaded/chain number from Butterfly Lane is just gorgeous.
