House of Fraser - A/W 13 Womenswear ~ Dreaming of Chanel

House of Fraser's Fall collection is dripping with lush colour and lavish detail .

Ornamental florals , eye-popping prints , head-to-toe black leather and vivid fantasy furs - imagine how traffic-stopping you'll look at the bus stop on a drizzly morning .

While fashion's focus remains on the waist , the silhouette has softened .
Last season's flamboyant peplums give way to beautifully tailored , smart and super feminine pieces .
I absolutely love these Almost famous trousers , ideal for a confident woman who likes to keep things simple , strict and streamlined .
