Bleak contrast.

H&M collaborations are always something special; Versace sold out within half an hour…even Donatella herself got elbowed out the way! For Spring/Summer ’12 quirky label, Marni decided to have a go. The collection was full of prints from batik to abstract with hints of optical illusion. Fear not wall flowers, seen on the runway this season was contrasting sleeves, this part wool jumper-part leather masterpiece is spot on. Paired with distressed skinny jeans –a staple, layered chain necklaces and a flash of cobalt from these chic sandals, this outfit makes just as a big a statement as the H&M collections powerful prints.

Pretty Pinecones

The polo-neck or turtle neck for many conjures up images of up dos, winged eye liner, radio tuners and The Beatles of course. But this season it has become a staple, layered under shift dresses at Missoni or worn with a statement necklace, anything goes. Try wearing a camel hued one underneath your winter coat for a sleek silhouette and add tan and deep green accessories that eco the colours of autumn.
