#HOFPRESSDAY AW15 - FASHION
2.6.15
Previously in the week I posted my House of Fraser AW15 Press Day Home Blog Post featuring everything you need to know form the #HOFPressDay Home Collections.
Today, I'm going to share with you all things Fashion from the #HOFPressDay from House of Fraser AW15 Womenswear and Menswear Collections.
The Press Day and Collections were set out so well in different rooms on different levels.
I love Winter Fashion and this Press Day made me so, so excited for Winter Fashion
...Sorry Summer!
 |
| Gray & Willow White and Grey Stripe Coat £199 with Ralph Lauren Fringed Body Bag. |
My favourite thing about Winter Fashion is 100% Coats.
I love the Boyfriend Coat style as well as the Longline Wool Coats especially with smart lapels.
I loved how #HOFPressDay AW15 had so, so many coats!
Layering looks like it's going to be huge this AW.
I'm putting my bets for AW15 Fashion on lots of Wool Coats especially in Checks and Dogtooth, Knitted Turtle Necks and Fur Collars.
Collars were everywhere.
Shirts and Blouses with top buttoned collars layered with Blazers, Coats and Gilets.
I was quite glad that Texture, Embellishments, Fur, Studding and Patterns seems poplar this AW which for all your summer lovers will be getting you excited about AW and less depressed about Summer ending this autumn.
 |
| Dickins & Jones Yellow Tweed Coat £199. |
I'm a huge fan of texture in fashion. I wear a lot of black and loves breaking black up with texture and pop of colour to avoid a goth look.
However, Texture looks popular this upcoming season and I was shocked to find embellishments of detail from Sequins and Studding. I usually imagine sequins as more of a summer trend however It's quite refreshing to see them coming into AW Fashion.
BIBA have launched Sequin Embellished Blazers and Coats with shoulder detailing is such a stunning addition especially if you're a black fashion lover like myself.
 |
| Biba Brocade blazer £125.00, Biba Leather Fringe Skirt £149.00 & Biba black Embellished Coat £125.00. |
I'm not much of a party animal especially in the Winter.
But if you are a person who loves going out or dressing up I'd recommend checking out BIBA's AW15 Collection this Winter as their Embellished Dresses and Occasion wear are absolutely stunning.
Prints!
I love a print, especially geometric print with pop of colours.
House of Fraser have launched to most adorable prints this upcoming season and there so much check, stripe, dogtooth and some more art deco style patterns too sticking to colour palette of whites, black and pop of reds.
The accessories at the #HOFPressDay were to die for.
I fell in love with about 100 Handbags and I just can't get enough of them!
The Ralph Lauren Collections for AW15 have got me hooked.
I got a Ralph Lauren Bag for Christmas this year and the quality is amazing.
It's clear from the AW15 Press Day that naturals are huge in accessories this upcoming season from beiges, greys and pale pinks especially.
 |
| Ralph Lauren Bag & Therapy Nude Faux Fur Clutch £35.00. |
With Handbags it was refreshing to see so many smart styles with the envelope style everywhere again in beiges, blacks and pale pinks.
It looks like wear moving away from the studded Jacket and Coat Shoulder Trend and over to Studded Accessories.
With adorable studding from Hats to Handbags!
If you love studding, DKNY have the most to die for handbags coming this AW15 with styled from a Studded Shopper Tote to a Studded Backpack with Leather and Black theme and as an 80's Punk Fashion Addict I'm obsessed with this trend.
As I mentioned before Pattern seems like it's going to be a big trend this AW especially with pop of colours from reds with neutrals.
This adorable Vivienne Westwood Bag is one of my favourites from the Press Day with it's Blue Shade with Red Patterning.
Michael Kors' New AW15 Accessories seem to have taken a step back from their recent colourful collections and heading towards the Neutrals.
I love Michael Kors Bags their a bag for life and on the more affordable end of Designer Handbags and their AW15 Collection of neutrals is exciting me very much!
I fell in love with this Calvin Klein Studded Wallet and if you're not so much into the 80's Leather and Chrome Stud Trend and more of Girly Girl this style is 100% for you with beige and pale pink leather with gold, rose gold and silver studding embellishments, it's truly beautiful!
The Press Day was held at House of Fraser's Baker Street HQ with the most amazing, stunning view over one of my favourite cities in the world, I could've look out of it all day.
As well as the Home & Womenswear AW15 Collections at the #HOFPressDay there was also a Menswear Collection section also!
For all your Men out there or for Mens Fashion Enthusiast the AW15 Collections are gorgeous.
I love Men in Suit and Smart Clothing.
Luckily my Boyfriend wears them all the time.
The House of Fraser Exclusive Collections have the most stunning suits for AW15.
With Chic Styles and mainly in Blue Shades.
I love Mens accessories.
Bags, Ties, Belts and Cufflinks.
Lots of Men own cufflinks but don't always wear them, although they're handy if you're ever attending a wedding or formal occasion and also the perfect gift for Fathers Day especially.
I fell completely in love with these Bunny and Carrot New & Lingwood Cufflinks as well as the little Bumblebee ones also.
So unique and adorable.
My Boyfriend loves Brogues and I love them on him, especially with a dark pair of jeans!
These Brogues are so chic and I love the formal laces too. But my favourite part is their high top and light golden brown colouring.
Every Man needs a pair of these in their shoe collection.
Man Bags aren't always something Men are a fan of.
Although if you work where you need to take a folder or laptop and need a bag and don't want to take a Backpack or have a passion for fashion I'd recommend checking out Ted Baker's Bags anyway as they have something for everyone.
However I think if you are looking for a New Man Bag and don't need one ASAP.
Wait for this amazing Ted Baker Black and Burgundy Striped Satchel.
It's stunning.
Again,
Patterns and Texture look huge this upcoming season for Menswear too!
My brother is a massive fan of patterns and prints in clothing and I can see the Butterfly Shirt bellow being something he would purchase.
One of Ted Baker's most popular and common prints is Paisley they have it all over their Menswear Blazer, Shirts and Ties but I think this Paisley Print Leather Bag is absolutely beautiful and so stylish.
Like with Womenswear Leather Accessories this AW15 looks big for Menswear.
Leather Accessories for Men or Women are a must, must, must and Hugo Boss have some amazing Menswear Designs I want myself.
I love Harris Tweed and want all things Tweed in my life.
They're the perfect gifts too. The New Harris Tweed Mens Accessories Collection for AW15 is stunning from Wash Bags, Flasks, Wallets and so much more!
I hope you enjoy my posts form the AW15 #HOFPressDay and have some ideas for what's going to be HOT later this!

#HOFPRESSDAY AW15 - HOME
1.6.15
I was recently invited to House of Fraser's Autumn Winter 2015 Press Day Preview.
I love going to Press Days as a Blogger, being able to view what's to come next season is FAB.
What I particularly liked about this Press Day is that #HOFPressDay wasn't only Fashion related but had a huge Home Press Preview too!
I work Full Time in Buying & Sales for a Furniture & Interiors Company.
So I was in my complete element browsing the #HOFPressDay Home area.
So I thought I'd share with you some of the exciting things coming this AW15 to House of Fraser's Home Department.
The Press Preview was arranged in sections from Bedroom, Living Room, Dining and Kitchen.
It was also arranged in different styles and themes of styles of the season to come this AW.
One of the trends which seemed to be huge was Moroccan themes in bronze, silver and red colour tones and metals, Maroq Lanterns and colourful styles.
 |
| Picture Frames £20.00 Mirror Base Trinket Boxes £40.00 Stem Hurricane Jars £30.00 |
Something else that was key from the Press Day Homeware styling is simple, not over accessorising.
With desk accessories such as mugs and glasses to hold your stationary in a simple chic homeware style.
Not only does Moroccan look like it's making a huge comeback this season, but it looks like it's another year for Country themes.
But less of last years famous Stag Print and more of the Horse, Dog, Foxes etc and other country animals. Mixed with country and rustic accessories with rustic woods, tartans and checks, wool and cable knit and everything else countryside.
 |
| Rope Bell Jar £25.00 |
Repeated in the Bedroom arrangements, the Country theme continued with knitted throws, country themed cushions and vintage style florals as bedding making the perfect modern/traditional mix of fabrics and homewares.
 |
| Wallace The Dog Cushion £25.00 House Print Cushion £25.00 Woven Knit Throw £75.00 |
Not only is it a huge trend this summer in Fashion, but 60s/70s Furniture and Styling is making possibly my favourite ever Interiors Retro Comeback, as well as 60s/70s Homeware & Interiors is going to be a massive trend this Autumn Winter.
With pattern clashing fabrics making the perfect scatter cushions and pillow themes to decorate your home with, in all and every colour especially reds, blues, yellows, blue pinks and green.
Light wood furniture, all things square and spherical with one of my favourite furniture trends ever the Statement Retro Leg that are so famous from that era making a comeback, allowing the perfect combination of new and old.
I'm such a fan of this trend!
 |
| Chevron Cushion £25.00 |
As I previously mentioned Vintage is still a very supportive fan of the Vintage trend in fashion and homeware.
I love the traditional styles all the textures and muted colours with so much floral here, there and everywhere with the famous vintage duck egg and beige shades makes the perfect country cottage home feel.
Something else that was clear from the #HOFPressDay was statement accessories.
My personal favourite being this Pineapple Lamp and shade the perfect talking piece for any room.
 |
| Zeus Pineapple Lamp £80.00 |
Copper has been massive in interiors and design this summer, and I love it so much!
It looks like it's sticking around and I'm so, so pleased it is.
If you're a copper fan like me, you're going to love what House of Fraser have to offer this AW15 with All Things Copper from Copper Lanterns, Copper Lighting, Copper Crockery and - my personal favourite - Copper Cutlery!
Yes,
Copper. Cutlery.
I know, I know... I am in awe.
 |
| Copper Cutlery 24 Piece Set £180.00 Hurricane Lantern £30.00 Microdot Dinnerware from £12.00 Kensington Champagne Flutes (Set of 2) £35.00 |
Shabby Chic is still huge.
Some of you will be pleased and others not...
However, it's another trend I adore. Especially for a Bedroom.
I love how versatile the Shabby Chic styling is, the rustically subtle accessories and ability to inject vintage or modern but keeping the colour palettes neutral. My favourite part, the french themes of stunning design, delicate ornate accessorising and what always seems to be the perfect balance of colours and textures.
The reason I love Shabby Chic French Styling so much is you can do it on a budget with it being a large trend for the past few years with the help of more budget brands making the style more accessable.
However, if you love antiques and the old like me, the traditional french styling allows you to find those vintage treasures from years ago and build up your collection on any budget visiting antiques and vintage fairs where the Shabby Chic style allows you to add these pieces to your home with them blending in perfectly instead of them standing out like a sore thumb, being proud of all things antique and pre-loved.

| Glass Jug Vase £25.00 |
 |
| Crown Frame £25.00 |
I'm a Candle Addict, and I'm not shy of it.
Which means I'm so pleased with House of Fraser's Linea AW15 New Selection of Candles in amazing scents and style from large jars to tin potted candles and diffusers.
I'm a keen cook and baker and love being in the kitchen.
So as I was surprised to see a kitchen section at the #HOFPressDay I was so pleased!
Even happier when I spotted to bronze, copper coloured KitchenAid!
 |
| Acacia Platter Boards £25.00Acacia Storage Jars £16.00 |
So, that's all I have for you from the #HOFPressDay: Home Department and I hope it was a great insight for you into whats to come next season whether you're moving home, revamping the house or just a Homeware Obsessive like me.
