1) Military Style

2) Ripped Jeans

3) Knit 

I personally love this casual dress style as it's trendy, stylish and again something you can dress up or down by pairing your accessories carefully. A sucker for grey ( the new black) I envision this dress as something you can knock around in - comfy and chic.

I hardly own long knit dresses or cardigans. However fashion is all about exploring and this Fall I intend to try and style long knit cardigans, vests and dresses. I think this will look really cool with black jeans/ pants and booties.

4) Dresses

If I am not mistaken, this beautiful maxi dress was on sale but what a perfect outfit with the V neckline which is so slimming. The wrap style aka DVF dresses which spells elegance, long sleeves and the maxi length for the colder nights is just ideal for Fall. Pair it with a longer cardigan and you have a nice evening outfit to go out to town with.

Again, loving this colour for Fall and breaking away from the standard greys, blacks or navy blues which are usally Winter favourite colours. The long sleeves gives this dress that vintage appeal yet the shorter hemline to trend in cooler weather is a nice change especially in places with milder winter or even milder Fall weather. 

Available in Khaki or Grey, this suede dress would be so ideal for Fall and heading into Winter. Suede is a much sought after fabric for Fall/Winter 2015 and likewise  the happy peplum hemline. I somehow prefer the Khaki colour to the grey.

Before you scream "Green!! No way!"", this pastel apple green lace dress was screaming "Givenchy"to me as soon as I saw it online. The subtle apple green is actually very refreshing for Spring Summer and I would think for those of you in tropical climate - this dress would be nice for your year end parties. If you have been following the recent NYFW trends and styles for 2016, Givenchy's take on SS 2016 was all about lingerie style and lace.  This bohemian take on lace dresses would be perfect to trend for SS 2016 - so it's definitely on my wishlist!

Christian Dior was such an inspiration for Car Wash Pleats for Fall/Autumn 2015. So when I saw this lovely colour block dress in nude/ black combination - I immediately said "Yes ! This is perfect". The peek a boo pleat of the dress is its unique feature and its colour combination is perfect for those elegant year end parties as well.

5) Shoes

Believe you me, I have been looking for a nice pair of Black Stiletto Heels with very thin and minimum straps for awhile. I know this is not a new style however finding the right pair with the right fit, and heel height was kinda difficult for me. Battling whether to get an all leather or a suede pair is another factor. But for what it's worth, I think this pair is gorgeous and perfect to match with the ripped jeans or the dresses I have highlighted above. Just Divine!!!

OMG!!! The red lacquered soles and faux leather upper just screams "LOUBOUTIN" to me! I think this pair of boots would be perfect for Fall/Winter with skirts, jeans, pants... you name it - a versatile pair of boots to own!

6) Jackets

With almost a 50% discount on this item, it's practically a no brainer. Everyone needs a suede jacket in their closet for Fall / Winter. I particularly like this crop jacket style and in brown - it is a piece one can easily mix and match for the season.

Without a doubt, a must-have item in any fashionista's wardrobe! A black leather ( or faux leather) crop biker jacket. I like the detailing on the sides, cuffs and shoulder of this jacket. Unique and yet elegant in its own way. Another must buy!!

Of course there are SOOOO many other items I could have picked out from this online store - with sales happening up to 50% and more - it's practically a steal for some of these hot items. Before you go mistaking that I am being sponsored by the company - well I am NOT! It's just a wishlist I have put together seeing its a newly discovered online store for myself and I am looking at purchasing these items very soon. So my opinions and selections here are 100% mine and unbiased.

2) Toga/ One Shoulder Dress

In 2014, we saw Off Shoulder dresses trending the runway, but for 2015, a twist on this with the one shoulder or toga dress/ top is the way to go. An ideal date night outfit!

Check these styles out online to start trending Culottes.

4) Gingham 
While Plaid and checks are still trending for Spring, particularly so would be the Gingham print. For 2015, Gingham takes on a sexy swing on the fashion runway. No longer reserve for young girls' outfits or kitchen linens, sexy up with Gingham prints from these great online buys. Try  combining this trend with the apron/ skirt layering trend for Spring 2015.

5) Kimono Style

For outerwear in Spring 2015, go for longer silhouettes tied at the waist with a belt aka Obi belt. The kimono, martial arts inspired dressing is another hot favourite on the runway.

7) Tailored Shirtdress
I personally believe this is always a year on year classic item to own. But instead of grabbing your boyfriend's or husband's oversize shirt to make it your own, go for one that is tailored and structured with a feminine twist. Whilst at it try combining it with other trends e.g Gingham/ Denim/ Red or Yellow or pair it with an oversize belt turning it into a Kimono style outfit which are all trending in 2015.

Designers were making laces of varied colours for 2015, but ethereal white definitely made it's mark for Spring 2015.

Why not try out these looks to trend the romantic lace style for 2015?

9) Jumpsuits
Certainly this style of outfit doesn't come as a surprise seeing it was trending for Fall / Winter 2014. The twist on Jumpsuits for 2015 is all about the necklines, cut of the suit, statement accessory pairing - oversize belts, scarves and jewelry which all adds that hint of sophistication to what would be an industrial world inspired look.

These online finds are definitely worth considering in getting this look for less.
