EVERYDAY IS A CATWALK: Alexander McQueen

Check mate...

My slightly unhealthy obsession with checks began back in 2012, when I fell in love with the red tartan Alexander McQueen blazer, I spotted Leighton Meester wearing in her role as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl.

From then on, I absolutely adored all things check so, of course, when I heard the trend would be making a comeback for autumn/winter 2016, I instantly started shopping for my key pieces of the season.

My check scarf obviously makes an appearance every winter, so was the first accessory to come out of storage. Tartan skirts are also a personal favourite, as are check duster coats.

In recent weeks, I've come across countless beaut check and tartan pieces, so here's a round-up of my top 11 finds for the season:

Mango

Markus Lupfer

New Look on ASOS

Topshop

Burberry

Isabel Marant

Elizabeth and James

Jack Wills on ASOS

All about autumn/winter 2016/2017...

Fashion weeks across the globe took place throughout February and March so, for my latest post, I wanted to do a round up of my favourite looks from the best shows for autumn/winter 2016/2017.

First stop New York with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Prabal Gurung and Rachel Zoe showcasing their latest collections, followed by London with Mulberry, Topshop Unique and many more. Then Milan with Prada, Roberto Cavalli, and Marni, and finally it all ended with Paris and of course Chanel, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton.

London and Paris are always personal favourites, however there were quite a number of incredible collections to hit the catwalk this season at all four destinations. In no particular order, here are my favourite looks from the latest Ready-to-Wear shows...
