Top 6 Picks- Ted Baker AW17

Hello everyone, I hope you're well
Today's post is different to any I've done before but the type of post I love to read, Ted Baker is one of my favourite luxury clothing companies because of its sophisticated clothing and reasonable prices compared to other designers. I love how feminine and pretty the clothing and accessories are and as soon as I got the email from Ted Baker about their AW17 collection I knew I had to share my favourite pieces with you. 

1. RADONNA- Ribbed cuff jogger trousers 

These are from the 'Ted says relax' range and I'm completely in love with them, I love the colours especially this beautiful grey and also all the small details that keep the joggers true too Ted Baker. They look super comfy and although are simple they still look chic. 

2. KALISSA- Wool and cashmere-blend hooded parka
Winter clothing is definitely my favourite to wear out of all the seasons as I love the layering and winter colours. This coat is absolutely beautiful with the grey tones again similar to the joggers and the light pink fur hood adds a pop of colour making it perfect for the autumn months coming. The wool and cashmere blend will provide ultimate comfort and warmth whilst the rose gold detailing brings this item together for a more sophisticated look. 

The next piece is one that I would never normally be drawn too in a shop but as soon as I seen this online I fell in love with the pattern and style of this jacket. Ted Baker are known for their flowered patterns and this one is stunning as its neutral with small bursts of colours making it girly but sleek at the same time. I love the black cord trim as its different to anything I've seen before and this jacket would be perfect paired with monochrome colours similar to how the model is wearing it. This jacket can be worn casual with jeans and some trainers or dressed up with heels and a cute black clutch. 
 

4. SYLVIAA- Pearl embellished leather lady bag

When I seen this bag I couldn't resist putting it into my top picks because just look at how cute this is. I love how they have kept light pinks in their AW collection because I think it will be perfectly paired with the darker colours in these next few months. The detailing is beautiful and the bag is so ladylike especially with the pearls and stunning rose gold detailing. Its dainty and with a handle and strap makes it perfect for any occasion. I am absolutely obsessed with this product and with my first ever luxury handbag being from ted baker it really did made my heart melt slightly!

5. HELLSAD- Embroidered cotton dress
I love the simplicity to this dress with the subtle embroidered detailing adding some class to it. The bright white cotton makes this dress appear fresh and will look amazing layered for the colder wintery months. This is a product that can be dressed up or down with different shoes and accessories and I would love to see this dress paired with a deep red to add a little colour to the outfit whilst still keeping it classy and sticking with the AW theme.

6. NOXEN- Bow detail suede sandals

Last but not least on my 'Top 6 picks' are these beautiful suede heeled sandals in light grey. The bow detail on the side is super cute and the soft suede material makes these look super comfortable and wearable for the winter months. The small heel keeps these sophisticated yet comfy and the cross over straps are very feminine and would be perectly paired with some black trousers and a shirt or a nice dress. The shoes come in a range of colours and materials but these are definitely my favourite.

How to style: A Pinafore dress

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. It's really starting to warm up here in Dubai so my wardrobe is beginning to change and my cooler 'winter' clothes are being stored away. One item of clothing that always seems to stay in my wardrobe no matter what season is a dress. Dresses are great pieces because they can be layered up in winter, dressed up or down for different occasions and are really just very versatile. The style of dress i've been loving in particular this winter has been a pinafore dress which I got from new look, the reason I like this dress is because you can wear all sorts of other clothing with it for different occasions and it still looks some what classy, so i decided to show you today what I personally have loved pairing with it.

1.Casual
The first look I went for was a very casual, comfortable one which i've worn when walking along the beach or simply popping into the mall to do some shopping. The colour palette I have gone for is very monocrome with a slight pop of colour in the shoes. My favourite t-shirts at the moment are plain whit rolled sleeved ones which I have paired the pinafore dress with here. Its a very simple look and to give it a bit of colour I paired my rose gold glitter plimsolls and rose gold Michael Kors watch which just adds a little something extra to the outfit and made it seem more put together.


Plain white Tshirt: H&M Plain white jersey top
Black pinafore dress: New look pinafore dress (not the exact one, but very cute)
Shoes: New look rose gold glitter plimsolls
Watch: Michael Kors Blair Rose Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch

2.Smart
This second look I went for was a smarter look which I have worn out for lunch with my family, I paired the pinafore dress with a button up shirt and some wedges to keep it more classy but still extremely comfortable in the Dubai heat. The colour palette is still fairly monochrome but this time the pop of colour is in the shirt where there is a bit of light blue. I really liked this outfit because the shirt was thin, perfect fort the warm weather and the wedges were so comfy meaning i could walk around all day without my feet hurting.


Shirt: New look white shirt (not the exact one i, but this would go perfect)
Pinafore dress: New look pinafore dress (not the exact one, but very cute)
Black wedges:Steve Madden wedges(similar)

These are the ways I love to style my black pinafore dress but obviously there are so many other ways it can be worn and so many options to pair with it. If you would like me to do another 'How to style' blogpost then please let me know.
Thank you for reading
Lots of Love
