Autumn 2015 LookBook: Twilight on Regent Street

what i'm wearing: faux fur Debenhams // jeans Primark // turtleneck United Colours of Benetton // shoes ASOS // bag* George at ASDA // watch Michael Kors

Faux fur is HUGE this season – AW15 just wouldn’t be the same without a little cosy fluff. Or in this case – a lot! I dug out this coat I got from Debenhams a couple of years ago when faux fur coats were just starting to get their claws back into fashion, and donned it on for a trip to London.

I think coats like these are perfect for a city trip – faux fur can easily take you from day to night and keep you mega warm and cosy, whilst looking on top fashion form. I spent the whole day in this faux fur coat – and boy was I glad that I had it at the end of the day when I was coming back home as it was freezing! But faux fur is just as warm as real fur, that’s why I often don’t understand why in 1st World countries we kill animals for fur. Naturally, if you live in a habitat and culture that requires you to kill and wear animals for fur then OK, but just for fashion? Nah, keep your white fox skins – I’d rather have a faux yeti on my back!

Let’s talk about balance – when you have a big coat like this, I think it looks best with something simple and slim fitting on the bottom. I opted for skinny jeans and ankle boots to keep comfortable and casual. But, if you did want to cause a bit of drama on the streets – why not try a maxi dress?

I spent this day in London attending SS15 fashion press days, which is weird as we are only now getting into Christmas really – but my mind is already frazzled with content ideas for the next season! That’s just the industry though – always one step ahead and full of excitement. I also spent some time with my lovely friend Nicole who is also an awesome blogger, and looks mega cute and cosy wrapped up in her Topshop scarf – check out her website nicolecoltman.com!
