Barbour + Liberty = Brit Dream Team

If two English establishments fuse in fashion it can only mean a seriously stylish collision! When equally iconic Barbour and Liberty of London first paired I was MORE than excited.

Barbour have combined their heritage jackets with Liberty's bold prints and the results ooze quintessential English style. Their classically rugged and mannish coats have been given a feminine twist with gorgeous Liberty print linings; perfect for winter walks and country weekends. This collaboration is the only way to do the outdoors this winter!

I love Barbour and I love Liberty so any combination involving these two will mean an empty wallet! My favourite is the Lord Paisley jacket (see below) but I recently purchased their classic navy wax so I really shouldn't buy another...but I really like it!

Here's a peak...

Trend Watch: Topshop A/W 11 Preview

This A/W Topshop brings us four new trends: 'Psychobilly', 'Thrift', 'Glamrock' and 'Bavaria'. Here's a sneak preview and Novateur's guide to each collection.

Psychobilly

Novateur: '50s styling with a rough edge. Think sleek masculine tailoring, leather and eclectic prints. Remember 70s New York, rock n roll and CBGB’s. Throw in some Danny Zuko and round off with a quiff or retro pin curls.'

Thrift (Prim & Polished)
Novateur: 'Think vintage; this collection references the 60s and 70s with added war time inspired pieces for good measure. It’s prim, it’s geeky and it’s something your grandma will probably have worn. Go granny chic with tea dresses, blouses and fur trimmed coats. Think Alexa Chung, long socks, clumpy shoes and cute jumpers.'

Glamrock
Novateur: 'Kate Moss meets Studio 54. Channel your inner rock star and pull out the night-time glitz. Wrap up in jet faux fur or hot pink shaggy goats skin. Stand out in skinny trousers, sparkly separates, glittery platforms and seventies inspired hats.'

Bavaria
Novateur: 'Folk law goes modern. Bavaria is a contemporary way to wrap up warm this winter. Go bohemian with luxe coats, cosy fur and chunky knits. Clash prints and layer up. Stylish yet practical.'
