My favourites from the New York and London Fall 2016 runways! Trouser looks and inspiring new shapes and silhouettes from NYFW, where the Proenza Schouler collection in particular stood out for me. And casual yet elegant loose fit ensembles seen at LFW, where the striped Mulberry suit was my definite favourite. Also, a bunch of stunning gowns I wouldn't mind seeing on the Oscars red carpet come Sunday!

Fash n Chips turns FIVE today! And so today should be a good day to kinda kick off "party season". I'm hardly a party person myself but that doesn't mean I don't know what I would wear to a party if I were to attend one. So here's my current pick: while a dress like this could easily be worn with bare legs as well, I personally really like wearing it over a pair of cropped trousers. And so my ideal "party outfit" at the moment would actually be quite simple, one that could also be worn on any other day of the year, but I would glitz it up with some festive accessories.. Alexander McQueen cropped pants, Burberry Beauty eye palette, Ganni dress, Topshop earrings, Monica Vinader ring, Elizabeth and James bracelet, ASOS velvet ankle boots, & Other Stories leather bag and Stila eye pencil[show_shopthepost_widget id="1168560"]
This 352-page book has been published by Victoria and Albert Publishing to accompany the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty retrospective which is now open for the public at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I'm planning to go and check it out myself in a few weeks but even before that I already have this book on my mind and wishlist. This, and quite a few other Alexander McQueen related books, which you can find here below.

So, obviously I love wearing grey and I especially seem to have a thing for all grey outfits. Lately, however, I've been wanting to drop a bit of colour into every grey look that I pick out and I think red is one of the best colours to go with. The above ensemble, except from the gloves, can be found entirely at Harrods. And if only I had the budget for it I'd be filling up my wardrobe with The Row pieces right now, they just make the most perfect classic items. As does Stella McCartney! Speaking of Harrods - have you checked out their Christmas Gift Guide yet? 'Tis the season! - Happy weekend everyone!
