Knee High Socks

Okay, so I went to see the new Spider-man movie on Wednesday and I noticed that throughout the film Emma Stone's character Gwen Stacy was definitely rocking the knee high socks. Now knee high socks are one of the most challenging trends for most people to incorporate into their everyday looks. It's one of the trends that scares me. I'm always worried I will end up with the 'sausage leg', you know when the socks cut into your legs, never an attractive look or that I'm going to end up looking like an school-girl. I'm 23 and people already mistake me for an 18 year old. However knee high socks on other people seem to create a bold statement and add a more textured and polished look to tights or a bare leg. Daisy Lowe and Alexa Chung are big fans amongst others and its a look I really want to try.

Emma Stone in Vogue!

So my new copy of Vogue arrived this morning and Emma Stone was gracing the cover. I absolutely love her and as I've said before she is one of my style icons, so I thoroughly enjoyed the interview with her. It also came with a guide to the Autumn/Winter trends of 2012, a lot of which I'm looking forward to. Summer isn't really my season because pastel's don't really suit me but this upcoming season is perfect, very gothic and decadent. I can't wait to see what the high-street does with these trends. 

Make-up wise I'm wearing very little at the moment. I like to have a very simple eye and play up my lips with a red or pink lipstick. This is very different to a few years ago when I used to pile on the eye-liner (no more). However saying this I am rather excited about some of these colour palettes for make-up this winter. I might actually have a little play around with some different looks.

Style Icons

So these are just a few of the women, whose style and attitude to fashion I admire. They encourage me to take risks with my clothes and not be afraid to try new combinations.
