The Pyjama/Boudoir Edit x Farfetch.com

  The Pyjama/Boudior trend is a huge trend for Spring/Summer 2016.  The trend has graced the runways of Dolce and Gabbana, Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Celine and Alexander Wang.  Celebrities including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner, Whitney Port, Karlie Kloss and Rihanna, have embraced the trend creating their own little spin.  When it comes to styling the Pyjama/Boudior trend, you can either embrace the complete look, or can incorporate pieces with your everyday wardrobe.  Like Selena and Whitney, you can embrace the complete trend and wear your pieces from day to night, and of course, bed.  Alternatively, you can opt for a more subtle approach like Gigi and Kendall.  Kendall has added a basic tee with her slip dress, while Gigi has added a bomber jacket (another staple this season) with her slip dress.  

I've picked out a few of my favourite Pyjama/Boujoir trend pieces.  I've also included a few beauty picks to complement your look.  All pieces are available via FARFETCH.COM.

The Steve Madden Diaries: Chapter 2

"Your feet work hard for you so the least you can do is buy pretty things to put on them!" Lauren Conrad  Once you've purchased your classic pump and wedge, it's then time to add a little sparkle to your wardrobe.  This season it's all about colour, leopard and metallic!

Colour

From purple to blue, orange, green and red..this season's biggest trend is colour.  Purchasing a pair of coloured shoes is the best way to add a pop of colour, instantly transforming as well as completing any outfit.  When it comes to wearing coloured shoes, no one does it better than Olivia Palermo and 'Blair Waldorf'!

Get the Look: My pick this season would have to be Steve Madden's Audrinaa heel which combines a little purple and blue.

Metallic

I am completely obsessed with metallics at the moment especially when it comes to shoes and bags.  What I love about metallic shoes, is that they are so versatile yet so glam!  Take a cue from Rachel Bilson and Taylor Swift both wearing metallics.

 

Get the Look: My pick this season would have to be Steve Madden's Allude available in gold metallic.

Leopard

And last but not least..leopard!  The thing about leopard is that is it the one trend that always returns.  Therefore, you can never go wrong purchasing at least one classic leopard heel.  I love the way both Blake Lively and Olivia Palermo have paired a leopard pump with colour!

Get the Look: My pick this season would have to be Betsey Johnson's Diskkol leopard pump.  Yes Steve Madden is the only shoe store in Australia stocking Betsey Johnson!

Trend: Faux Fur and Animal Print

"I think every woman should have a piece of leopard, but not every woman will wear leopard. You have to have courage to wear leopard." Rachel Zoe  Are you ready to channel your inner Rachel Zoe?  Rachel's signatory leopard print and faux fur classics seem to have created a little fashion frenzy!  Left, right and centre.. on the runway, front row, street fashion and of course all your favourite celebrities are embracing this 1970's revolutionary trend.  The leopard and faux fur trend has been slowly sneaking into the fashion world, however, now it's been taken to a whole new level!  We're only half way through fashion week and the faux fur and leopard trend has completely taken over, not only on the runway, but also front row.  And How to wear this trend? 
The minimalistic approach

A little unsure about how the trend will work for you?  Try opting for an accessory like a bag, shoes or scarf.

Besides keeping you warm during the winter, the faux fur and leopard jacket are truely a statement piece essential.

 Feeling a little more game?  Try experimenting with fur and leopard.  Purhaps a leopard dress?  Or mixing and matching both leopard and fur?  Or for something a little different matching fur with a maxi dress, yes a huge trend at Fashion Week!

Dress me, I'm your Mannequin!

I’m frequently asked about my style, my taste in fashion, who I’m wearing and most importantly what to wear this season. So what’s in fashion this Winter season and what will I be wearing?  Thought I'd reveal my fashion secrets this season including core items that take me from one season to the next....With a little help from my favourite fashionistas of course!  Yes, you can go out during winter and look amazing whilst remaining warm.. 

Leggings and Opaques
They are the core to all my outfits and they take me from day to night. Whilst I tend to stick with the typical black leggings this season I have found myself experimenting with different styles. The outrageous leggings have continued to grow from season to season. This includes, different washes, materials, colours and really big this season – embellishments like zippers and studs. Leggings and opaques can pretty much be worn with anything!

The 'Bootie'

This season it’s all about the short boot, also known as the ‘bootie.’ This is my favourite trend this season and trust me once you put them on your feet, you won't want to take them off! Wear a funky flat bootie with laces, a heel bootie or even a wedge bootie. Anything goes! Personally I say the higher the better! If you want to invest in one core item this season, it's the bootie. I just purchased a black high wedge bootie, and they go with everything!

Trench Coat

Winter isn’t winter without a trench coat. Each season I add to my collection of trench coats, from the classic trench to the cute trench. However, thanks to Burberry’s amazing collection the trench coat has blossomed this season. Wear it button with a cute beret, leggings and a cute heel. Or for an edged up look wear it with a belt and some black leather booties.

The Little Black Jacket

Whilst trench coats are good for those oh so freezing days... an alternative this season is the little black jacket.  Personally, I've opted for something a little more daring and purchased a little black jacket with embellishments, studs and even shoulder pads.  If you fancy something a little more edgier, you can't go wrong with a little leather jacket.

The Cape Coat
I recently purchased one of these and not only is it so warm, but it's so fashion forward! The cape trend can be difficult as different body types should wear it in different ways.  The original flair cape is more suited to petite girls, whereas those with a more bustier shape should opt for a cape with a belt to excentuate the waist.

The Nude and Black Pump

I love investing in the classics.  The items that are simple, cute, stylish and take you from one season to the next.  The classic nude or black pump are a must in all wardrobes.  The nude pump this season and next, is a huge trend evident from RAFW 2010..And well the higher the better!

Headpieces

Thanks to the one and only Gossip Girl, it's all about the pretty little headpieces/bands with bows and sequins.  Except some people have taken this trend a little too far!  Stay clear of anything floral especially during winter.  I believe it's best to keep it cute and minimal.  Alannah Hill sells some amazing headpieces which are a total must.   An essential for winter is a cute little beret or beanie.  Stick with a versatile cream (as seen by Rachel Bilson) or black, but if you want that little something different opt for a pastel like pink.

Bags, Bags, Bags 

I have a motto.. Small, medium, large and a clutch!  The large bag.. for work and for study.  The medium bag.. which is pretty much your everyday/casual night out bag.  The small bag.. when you are out and need just those few essentials and lastly of course a going out bag, which is normally a cute fashionable clutch.

Prada

Dior

Jeans

Whilst I am usually not a jean person, jeans are a core essential as they are really versatile.  I say opt for a dark denim pair because you can dress them up or down and can be worn anytime.  If you feel like being a little fashion forward opt for a high rise pair as seen her by Lauren Conrad!

 Other Core Essentials

The Plain White Tee/Shirt/Silk Singlet - You can mix and match these with anything.

Ballet Flat - Not only are they comfy, they are cute and versatile.

Black Leather Patent Belt - The perfect must have accessory that can add that 'wow' factor to any outfit.

Pearls - These are the most feminine pieces of jewellery you could own and add that classic touch.

Scarf - A warm winter essential that I cannot live without.  Opt for versatile neutral tones as these go with everything.  However, sometimes I opt for ones with embellishments for that cute twist to an outfit.

Leather Gloves - Black leather gloves not only keep you warm, they are versatile and look classic and amazing.   If you feel like a twist try opting for a pair I just bought - cream leather with studs.
