Style Series: Olivia & Alice Curate AW18

In our next installment of Style Series, we’re meeting up with sisters and London-based fashion bloggers Olivia and Alice. Renowned for their modern take on maximalism as well as their love for all things bold and bright, the Instagram duo are here to reveal their most-coveted pieces of AW18, and tell us more about their favourite trends, style hacks and more in our exclusive Q&A…

How would you describe your usual style?

Fun, bright and wearable. We like to mix high street and designer together, as well as classic and trend-driven pieces.

What are your favourite pieces from the shoot and why?

The blanket scarves. There’s nothing better than having something to wrap yourself up in for autumn/winter, ready to fight the chill. The gorgeous patterns and colours also mean that your whole outfit can be made by just that one item, plus we love how chunky and soft they are.

 

 

What are your top tips for wearing rainbow brights?

Don’t panic or feel that you have to make the rest of your outfit plain. Pick out a colour in the rainbow and match another item of clothing with it.

Checks are a big trend for AW18 – how will you be wearing them?

We are so excited for this trend and fully intend on wearing it from head to toe. We love wearing checked suits right now and clashing it with a different checked bag.

 

 

Who is your celebrity style muse and why?

There are a lot of people out there whose style we admire, whether that be our mum, friends or other bloggers, big and small. Right now, we love the German bloggers Xenia Adonts and Caro Daur – they style the latest trends in such a chic, effortless way. If we did have to go with celebrities, we’d have to say Mary-Kate and Ashley – is that too obvious?!

What’s your ultimate style hack?

Don’t forget to add accessories to an outfit – we don’t feel complete without a great pair of earrings or some layered necklaces. Headwear is also set to be a huge trend – think berets, baker boy hats and beanies or, for something more subtle, hair slides.

The October Edit: Your First Look at the New Arrivals

Hello, October. Now that autumn has well and truly arrived, our attention has been drawn to the new-season accessories that promise a smooth, stylish transition into the colder months of the year. From sought-after scarves to the ‘it’ bags of AW18, here’s your first look at this month’s latest arrivals

 

1. Cold-Weather Cool

 

The breeze picks up as we enter the month of October, making it the perfect time to indulge in the cold-weather classics of AW18. This season, take note of blanket scarves in super-soft textures, opting for bold, bright shades that’ll lift the look of your winter coat with little effort. And as for the hats? While baker-boy caps and berets continue to be the clear favourites of the London street style set, pom-pom beanies are still retaining their style relevance.

2. Jewel Tones

 

As the cold weather takes hold, so too does our natural affinity towards rich jewel tones. From deep emeralds to opulent amethysts, gemstone palettes create a more decadent feel which bodes well with the darker disposition of the new season.  Find them on luxe leather bags and cross-body designs to wear around the clock, and take your pick from plain, printed and cool colour-block styles.

 

3. Check Out

 

Much like animal print, checks are also dominating our new-season wardrobes. Although traditional tartans are not to be forgotten, AW18’s answer to the runway favourite comes in the shape of oversized checks in brighter colour combinations, making for a far more eclectic look. Want an easy way into the trend? A statement winter scarf provides the perfect introduction.

 

4. Hand-Painted Florals

 

Introducing the floral print that refuses to follow the crowd. Hand-painted by our team of talented in-house designers, October’s bold blooms combine petal-soft pinks with dark, leafy backdrops, creating styles that feel perfectly apt for autumn and winter. Watch them flourish on neckerchiefs, new-season bags and essential travel accessories.
