Camel Shades

January is always a difficult month for styling. I'm always tempted to go out in a lighter jacket, lets face it we're all sick of wearing heavy jackets all winter. However as soon as I step outside I get a breezy reminder that its actually still winter and I am in denial about how cold it still it.

So it got me thinking what will freshen up my January wardrobe and still keep me warm. My answer is camel..not the animal..the colour. It's a light colour without being to 'summery' and can brighten up an outfit. Given I sell vintage clothing for a living it was easy for me to find a coat that was just right for me, A camel pure new wool cocoon coat.

I have lots more camel winter warmers available to shop HERE!! Above are my top 4. Teamed with light denim mom jeans, stripe tee, chunky ankle boots or relaxed runners and leather backpack. The perfect January warm but stylish day outfit.

1. Genuine Suede Sheepskin Jacket - Size 6 

2. Camel Wool Cocoon Coat Size - Size 12

3. Camel Wool Gold Button Pea Coat  - Size 12

4. Camel Faux Fur Coat - Size 12

Its a Boy thing A/W ASOS Fashion Finder Competition

It might seem like summer has just arrived but this week we are already obsessing over all the A/W trends emerging from the catwalk. Our A/W wish list is as long as our arms already and we're getting super excited planning our A/W photoshoot for the Annie and the Mannequins website . This A/W we have fallen in love with the androgynous look and are injecting a serious does of 'girl meets boy' into this trend. Keep your lookers open for a sneak preview here.

In the mean time were getting ourselves in a frenzy over the exciting new competition over at ASOS fashion Finder.  View it here. They are looking for pictures of individuals sporting their favourite A/W catwalk trend. We have been playing about with looks and outfits and are now trying to choose our favourite picture. With the chance to be featured in ASOS magazine we realy hope we choose the best one to be in for the best chance of winning. What do you all think of these photos? 

We teamed this retro Dog tooth skirt, classic crisp shirt with razor sharp collar and neck tie with our pretty peach cardigan to create a teddy boy meets girlie girl look <3 To put our own spin on the androgynous boy-girl trend. :) Our camera ran out of battery at the time so not alot of pictures. More to come soon :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and hope you will all kindly vote for us in the competition when we enter.

We will keep you all updated :)

Love The Annies xoxo
