Love it Or Leave it: Giant Furry Coats by Shrimps

Meet the "Joseph" coat from Shrimps. Currently selling for £595 and covered in faux fur. The design is sporty-chic and pastel pink, pastel anything really, is on-trend for fall 2014.

Do we like the Shrimps coats? The brand has already developed a cult following with starlets and bloggers following in tow, not to mention all of the pieces are what editorial dreams are made of!

In order for me to properly make a decision I need to find one and try it on, it's only fair! Stay tuned...

Love it or Leave it: Erdem Limited Edition Skateboard

Erdem has been on my radar for a while now. The Canadian-born British-Turkish fashion designer rocks the runway each season with stellar yet wearable powerful prints and textures. When I die, burry me in Erdem, am I right?

Well I love keeping up-to-date with the fashion brand via Twitter and amongst the other designers I follow a recent tweet caught my attention while I was scrolling through my newsfeed, Erdem tweeted a very cool looking skateboard. Yes a couture skateboard, the time has come. Complete with a classic Erdem cool pattern and a wicked pair of shoes, I must admit I was ready to grab the deck myself.

Available online for £75 here.

So, do we love the couture skateboard?

Love It or Leave It: Printed Denim


Richie in Isabel Marant

L.O.V.E it! Printed denim has to be my new favourite trend because it hasn't been thrown across ever magazine page just yet.

Of course, Nicole Richie sported a pair of Isabel Marant Renell embroidered skinny jeans and now I'm hooked.

Pair them with flats or heels and to dress them up or down.

Love It or Leave It: Wide-Leg Pants

We were skinny for the fall and winter and now we're going really wide for Spring 2011. Not only are wide-leg pants in but WhoWhatWear is also calling for a "disco" trend to sweep the Spring collections. Everything in fashion is cyclical and bell-bottoms have had their fair share of spotlight in the past but apparently they are back and if they are done right you may be wearing a pair very soon. My advice: pair with wedge sandals and over-sized sunglasses.

Love it or Leave It: Utilitarian Boots


Left, Left, Right, Left... Repeat...

Utilitarian is a look synonymous with fall and although a chic blazer is always able to give you an edge these boots are able to stand out without upstaging your entire outfit. The boots were chosen as an essential autumn pick by the girls at WhoWhatWear and they suggest wearing them with your favorite knit layers. The high heel takes lace up combat boots to new heights so you can step out in style with a look that is truly effortless.

Love it or Leave It: Ribbon


Sugar, spice, and everything nice is what little girls are made of so when you grown up do you ditch the bows and ruffles or run for the racks the minute you spot them?

Chances are if you see me out shopping I'll be running into any Forever 21 or Anthropologie where there's no shortage on lace and tulle. Even if your not an avid fan of all things girly, a few key pieces are a must for every wardrobe and work well in any environment.

If you don't want to overdo it and subtly bring the look into an outfit a great piece to start off with is a statement necklace.

Love it or Leave it: Clogs


If you're not a Dutch milkmaid and you don't work in a factory I think we should leave the clogs where they belong: without heels and in Sweden.

I always have an open mind when it comes to fashion and remember that although something may not be right for me there are a million other girls who appreciate the piece and wear it well; unfortunately I will never understand the appeal of a clog. I'd like to point out that clogs and wooden wedges are two very different things, I'm a huge fan of the latter.

Wooden shoes people bring back as souvenirs really don't have a place on the runways of MiuMiu, Marc Jacobs, and Chanel but, like everything with fashion: if its out there some designer will pick it up, make it new, and push it for their latest collection.

If clogs are a staple in your wardrobe I congratulate you because I simply cannot make these shoes work with anything I own.

However, now that its summer I suggest you to show off your pedicures and leave the clogs in the closet until fall. Maybe they look cute with knee socks? You know, if you're going for the whole Cher a la Clueless look.

Love it or Leave It: Marine Polish


My choices for polish this season would have to be pastel shades, the soft pinks and purples match perfectly with any tan. However, the brilliant minds at WhoWhatWear are suggesting something completely different: the marines. These shades are found deep in the sea and can be spotted on any surfer girl.

Now, although I usually agree with the ladies from the site, I have to say I'm not sure if the colour is right for everyday wear. But it may go well with a white bikini.

If you're into the surf-punk trend that is big this season, according to the writers of WhoWhatWear, than marine polish may be perfect for you.
