SCORCHING RED
Tailored Blazer / Fringe Earrings / Button Front Cape / Embroidered Skater Dress / MAC Red Lipstick / Flare trousers / Wide Leg Trousers / Ring Boots /
The stand out colour this fall is set to be red! It's powerful, vibrant and sexy, and it'll be everywhere; from coats, to lips to shoes. Whether you want to go full on top-to-toe red, or just add a small statement to you ensemble you'll be looking scorching!
VINTAGE FUR
Teddy fur coat / Orange Collar / Chocolate scarf / Tote bag / Chevron Scarf / Leopard Overcoat /
The faux kind, of course. Think about the sort of fur coat you'd find at an estate sale or a vintage boutique. Heavy fur coats are set to be all the rage, and not only are they super stylish draped over a slinky dress, they're oh so cosy too!
WESTERN FRONT
Double Buckle Belt / Fedora Hat / Chevron Top / Black Cuff / Fringe Dress / Fringe Backpack / Suedette Boots /
Classic westerns are full of fringe, suede and buckles, and this fall sees them bought into modern fashion. Think chunky cuffs, bold belts and embellished garments with fringe and embroidery galore. Have fun with this trend and make a statement with your look.
'70S PLAID
Chocker Dress / Knitted Poncho / Monochrome mini / Check Floral Skirt / Trench Coat /
If modern western isn't your bag then how about reviving a different classic? Plaid will be everywhere this fall and the great news is that its a versatile and flattering print, just perfect on coats, dresses and more. Think plaid minis with over the knee boots and you're onto a winner.
METALLIC SHADOWS
Tom ford eye quad / Charlotte Tilbury vintage Vamp / Freedom Makeup Eye Foils / MUA Mono Shadows / Maybelline Eye Chrome / ELF Molten Liquid Shadow /
Metallics have always been a statement for the Autumn Winter months, but this year they are set to be super hot solo. Forget blending them into a smokey eye look, go full on metallic and pack your lid with a super shiny, super pigmented metallic.
SMUDGED LIPS
Urban Decay vice Lipstick / Sleek Vamp Lipstick / SmashBox Be Legendary Lipstick / Christian Louboutin Lipstick / Bella&Bear Rusty Spotted Cat LipBrush / Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick / NARS Lipstick /
Gone are the days when you had to worry about that perfectly applied lipstick, neat and feather free. Autumn 2017 is the season of the smudged lip. According to fashion mogals they are super sexy and you can use your Bella&Bear Rusty Spotted Cat Lip brush to create them yourself. The idea is to get a diffused edge for that just kissed look!
STATEMENT MANIS
Nail Gems / Nail Charms / Nail Foil / Glitter Mixes / Holographic polishes / Nail Wraps /
Bold manis are here to stay and we are super stoked. Add to your mani with gems, glitter, tape, charms, embellishment - whatever your heart desires, the bolder the better! Be sure to use your Bella&Bear angled tweezers for those embellishment applications and if you're not a steady hand at painting then invest in some serious nail wraps!
BLACK RIBBONS
Black velvet bow / Large satin ribbon / Ribbon spool / Bella&Bear the Bear Paddle Brush /
Think Vintage Chanel. The humble black bow is back and - good news - it couldn't be simpler to style, add it to a pony tail, create a half up do or even add it to your fave blouse. However you wear it you know you'll be super vogue. Use a brand new spool of ribbon to create your ideal bow and you can also use your Bella&Bear The Bear Paddle Brush to create smooth and sleek hair, just perfect for a black bow.
However you decide to style yourself this A/W we hope Bella&Bear will be a part of it, be sure to show us your collection on social media and don't forget you can add to it right now in our online store!
