2010 was a year of lace up heeled boots, Mad Men, capes, brogues, the return of the leather skirt and romantic pastel colours. Here are some of the key pieces of the year...
Louis Vuitton created these fantastic dresses inspired by 1960s New York and completely in line with one of the major TV series of the year, Mad Men.
Dior epitomised the romantic trends from 2010 in this gorgeous pale pink gown with a beautiful floral patterned underskirt.
The camel coat - shown here on the Max Mara runway - has been a staple classic of Autumn/Winter 2010. Such a core colour has been a God send to women all over the world, allowing you to match with black, brown or denim, whenever you choose!
Jaegar show the simple elegance to be achieved in wearing the cape. Whilst keeping you warm, it provides great shape to any outfit and is versatile enough to be worn with jeans or skirts. In my opinion, this was one of my best items of clothing for 2010, making me feel elegant yet fashionable whenever I wear it.
These Marc Jacobs brogues are the most glittery and fantastic brogues I've seen all year! Mine are slightly less obvious, I own a lovely pair of cream brogues from Russell and Bromley, but they're still fantastic, look so good with many different outfits and are really, really comfy!
Gwyneth Paltrow shows why the leather skirt has been such a key fashion trend this year. Though difficult for all of us to pull off, this piece has given an edge to the standard pencil skirt, providing a new way to dress for work and casual.
These Chloe lace up boots (along with cheaper versions!) have become a must have part of our wardrobe collection for 2010. Casual yet smart, we were able to wear these shoes with leggings, knee high socks, trousers etc and always look good. And without the ankle breaking stiletto heels of the shoe boots we all know and love, we were even a bit safer in the snow!
Satchels were a necessary accessory this year, ranging from the tan satchels of Topshop, to the pink, purple and black satchels of Mulberry. The envy of women everywhere, these bags were not only gorgeous to look at but practical too. Stereotypical though it may be, but we need to carry our lives in our bags, and these satchels allow us to do that! Bring on the make up, purse, phone, diary, jewellery, tissues etc... the bag can handle it.
Exciting the fashion world, sheer, silk and lace clothing created a stir in 2010. Part of the romantic trend, these fabrics allowed designers and fashion houses to add seduction in to their collections, whilst still maintaining a high level of class.
Not forgetting, in December we had snow galore! The furry snow boots and wellies were out in force in December to save ourselves from falling over whilst still attempting to get out and do our Christmas shopping. Personally, I went for my fur covered snow boots which have served me well for the last 5 years. Coupled with lovely warm jumper dresses and quilted coats, nothing could stop us from completing the family's Christmas lists!
So Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a fantastic 2010 and have a better, happier and even more love filled 2011.
Love and New Year wishes,
