confessions of a fashionista

An idea came to me the other night as i literally dowsed myself in the latest fashions, trends and what is on the catwalk right now, that not only do i want my clothes to be just well clothes, i want my label to be a visible part of fashion. Any of you who have read my blog before you would have noticed the posts are just of a diary entry of Hilda Mae, but for me to get to those posts and the final pictures, alot goes into the 'behind the scenes'.  So from now on i will be posting a style section each... however often. Its not so much about how and what to wear the Hilda Mae label with but more of a up to date trend/ fashion report that i  am influenced by and what i find super inspiring. 


A must have colour scheme somewhere in your wardrobe this A/W is the earthy tones. Not only does it bring out the warmth of your outfits on the chillier Autumn nights, it can add a subtle tone of colour your outfit may be lacking. With this Topshop find not only is it casual for a day look but has a beautiful mustard tone to it that matches neutrals and well as a wide range of denims.
The Marc Jacobs watch is a must have and i may be adding this into this post as i would really love to open it on my birthday in a couple of weeks :) Seriously though with its alternative edgy black band to its extra sparkly face and who wouldn't want it? 
 While a few of you may be wondering why would anyone after dressing up in such pretty dresses what to wear these workmen style boots, i say RMK  Touch them. Smell them. Wear them. Hey in some cases live in them as i have done in recent weeks you will regret your earlier thoughts. While they may look masculine esk, team them with a layers of girlyness, a touch of class and you have the perfect outfit ready for your day out!
Let me just finish by adding great clothes only looks good with style to boot, and day time is no exception.  You heard it here first!
