Well we’re not sure about you, but December has really appeared out of nowhere this year. It only feels like two days ago we were carving pumpkins and watching bonfires, but now we've blinked and we’re very much in the middle of the festive season. 
There’s been Black Friday, Cyber Monday and already we’re on the 5^th door of our advent calendars! Amongst the stress of shopping, wrapping and decorating the tree we have also been truly snowed under by plenty of invitations to tons of social events.

So Beyoncé broke the internet again, this time with a surprise music video. All week my Twitter feed has been full of people reacting to “7/11”.  Like many of you I've had the video on repeat. Let’s face it, this is one music video we can all recreate in the comfort of our own home and here’s how.

Accessories Animal Jewellery AW14 Beauty Blue Celebs Cinderella Earrings Fashion Fbloggers Jumpers Necklaces Studs Taupe and Pearl Trending Winter

This time last week we saw Disney release the trailer for the highly anticipated live action adaptation of Cinderella. Due for release in March 2015 we were blown away by the fantastic performances by Lily James (Cinderella) and the ever talented Helena Bonham Carter (Fairy Godmother), however the star studded cast wasn’t the only things getting us excited! The styling is stunning; the gorgeous pastel blue’s, the long flowing hair and those glass slippers, Disney definitely didn't leave us disappointed.

 

We were so blown away by the styling in the movie that we decided we’d like to be Cinderella for the day. With this in mind, we’ve come up with a few ways to incorporate a bit of Disney magic into our wardrobe. The main things that came to our attention when watching the trailer was the pastel blue colour of Cinderella’s famous dress, the jewellery and the simple hairstyles.

Now don’t worry, we’re not expecting you to get into the middle of the dance floor in a ball gown (unless of course you want to, then you go on girl!) but giving a few nods to those Disney fairy-tales can really be a lot of fun and maybe even catch the eye of your very own Prince Charming. Below are just some of the idea’s we’ve come up with.

This skirt may not be blue, but it does scream ‘princess’ to us. The jewels, tutu shape and sparkly waist really gives this skirt the ‘wow’ factor, but teamed with a pastel jumper means it could easily be suitable for both day and night.

This is another similar outfit; a little less glamorous than the previous really proving that princess chic can work for every occasion. A statement pair of earrings or necklace could really make this outfit pop.

Even celebrities are getting involved; the likes of Taylor Swift and Diana Argon have been experimenting with loose hair, simple make up and plenty of blue tones. Kate Middleton, a real life princess also shows us how a blue, long length coat can be warm and stylish. This is a great look if you’re a little scared of going too far with the Cinderella theme, but want a change from the usual winter coat.

Hair and makeup can also be a really great way of adding a bit of Cinderella glamour to your look. The Cinderella look seems to be a mix of updos and loose hair but the important factor is that the hair doesn’t look too done. She’s been cleaning her house all day; she hasn’t exactly got time to mess around with hundreds of Kirby grips has she? Loose fringes, soft waves and simple accessories is what it’s all about. The same goes with makeup, a simple wash of champagne on your eyelids and a pretty pink lip can go really well with this look.

Accessories Autumn Earrings Fashion Trending

The idea of accessorising with the use of a single earring may well revert your mind back to a time of 90's boy bands and questionable haircuts. However, after the AW14 Louis Vuitton catwalk, it looks as though you don't need to be dusting off your double denim to rock the solitary jewel look.

Skulls- love them or hate them, they keep making a comeback in the world of fashion.

Whatever the reason, we adore them, and we're going to share with you a couple of ways to embrace this slightly spooky trend this autumn!
