Happy Halloween! Chic Halloween Style for 2024

Black Bunny Energy
Spooky season just got a little more playful

Who’s up for a little trick-or-treat mischief? Whether you’re planning to attend a costume party or just feeling festive at home, a chic bunny outfit brings a touch of fun to Halloween night!

I'm hopping into Halloween wearing my bunny costume from Lovehoney.

Have you got your Halloween outfit sorted yet? Lovehoney have some great costumes!

Fantasy Chic-Bunny Costume Lovehoney

This chic bunny costume has everything you need for a flirty Halloween! Made with a velvety-soft velour fabric, the design is super both flattering. The sheer mesh detailing adds some intrigue. This bodysuit will also double up as a gorgeous little date night outfit (with a skirt or jeans!). The removable elastic bow tie and high neck give it that classic bunny vibe, while long sleeves trimmed with velour cuffs and pearl accents bring the entire outfit together beautifully. Pair it with fishnet tights for the ultimate spooky chic look.

I'm wearing a size Small. Take your usual size. It does not run big! It fits snug if anything. The tights are One Size.

Spooky and Chic Halloween doesn’t have to be all about ghouls and ghosts. Sometimes a little black bunny energy is the perfect way to mix cute with a touch of mystery.

Keep it fun and embrace the festive spirit! I'll be watching one of my favourite films this Halloween ~ The Nightmare Before Christmas! All my love,
Charlotte

Autumn Style: Cordings Velvet Jeans for days in the countryside

Velvet textures meet Autumn hues 🍂

Embrace Rich Colours with Velvet Jeans

When it comes to Autumn styling, my Cordings of Piccadilly Straight Leg Velvet Jeans in Wine are a perfect match for the season. The deep, rich hue adds a luxurious touch to any countryside wardrobe, while the velvet fabric provides both comfort and style for cooler days. I have these jeans in a few colours - green, wine and chocolate (older design). The contrast in the velvet and silk textures looks so beautiful when paired together.

These jeans offer a timeless and versatile look that is perfect for this time of year (and into winter!). Whether dressed up or down, they're the perfect addition to any country lady's wardrobe. The fabric is not too thick or heavy so they don't have that frumpy appearance ~ they look elegant.

Cordings "beautifully cut wine velvet jeans have been carefully designed to flatter the female form. The waistband sits on the true waist, and there is a distinct lack of clutter to create a clean silhouette. The perfect addition to any wardrobe."

Sizing

I find the Cordings velvet jeans come up a little small, especially on the waist so bear that in mind. They don't have a lot of stretch. Being petite these are incredibly long for me so I do have to turn them up and tuck them into my boots which isn't a problem and I don't find this uncomfortable. I wear my normal size (I wear a UK size 8) and I would say these are on the smaller side of a size 8. My shirt is a size 6.

Timeless Country Classics

This Autumn~ready outfit combines the richness of wine velvet trousers, the delicate artistry of the Lotus Love Silk Shirt, and the classic style of the Holland Cooper Albany Knee Boots. The mix of textures and colours is perfect for countryside adventures or a chic day out.

Effortless Country Chic: Tweed Skirts & Cosy Jumpers

Effortless country chic with a tweed skirt, cosy jumper, and waterproof boots.

A Timeless Countryside Look

When in doubt a simple skirt & jumper combo is the way to go

Nothing beats the simplicity of a tweed skirt paired with a cosy jumper. If I'm ever stuck for time and need an outfit that I know will look great every time it's the tweed mini skirt and jumper combo. Heels or boots ~ you decide!

I own an array of different Dubarry of Ireland tweed skirts, in the styles; Blossom, Bellflower, Clover (and another I don't know the name of!) and different tweed patterns.

The skirt I am wearing here is the Dubarry of Ireland Blossom Tweed Skirt in Elm.

A versatile tweed mini skirt perfect for a classic countryside look.

Classic Country Styling with Holland Cooper

I've styled my Dubarry skirt with my Holland Cooper Seattle Roll Neck Cable Knit in Fern Green. This jumper is one of my wardrobe staples, combining comfort with a touch of luxury ~ perfect for those cooler autumn days in the countryside. It looks great tucked into a tweed mini skirt as shown here or jodphur jeans.

"A country classic with a contemporary twist, the Blossom tweed skirt offers great versatility. Team the short, pleated skirt with a polo and light knit for a relaxed preppy style or a tailored shirt and jacket for workwear. Styles perfectly with a Dubarry Rhodes deck shoe or any Dubarry leather country boot."

Dubarry of Ireland Blossom Tweed Skirt Dubarry Tweed Skirt Details

The Dubarry Blossom Tweed Skirt features unique brass and leather buckle straps. These are mainly for show but as you can see they can be adjusted. The skirt sits quite low on the hips. I prefer a skirt which is higher up on the waist (because I am petite) but this is a more traditional design. The skirt has gorgeous kilt pleats. There is a tidy zip at the side of the skirt therefore it does not wrap around like an official kilt. This zip feature does not take away from the design. It makes your life easier plus the buckle straps will not look tatty or frayed over time as you won't need to handle them.

The skirt is available in Elm, Navy, Burren, Denim, Woodrose, Rowan, Hemlock, Sorrel, Mist and Heath. (As of 2024. Dubarry add new colours so there may be new colours!) I have created a handy image of all the different colours/tweed together so you can easily find your favourite!

Stylish buckle strap details add a refined touch to this tweed skirt.

Holland Cooper Jumper Details

This is a lightweight cable knit jumper. It is heavy but not thick or bulky. Be careful drying this item - due to the weight, it can stretch the jumper and make it longer! Try to dry it flat. It's lovely and made from super soft yarn which feels slightly silky (not at all rough). It features HC hardware on the cuffs and shoulders which I LOVE and glams up a basic roll neck sweater outfit.

Holland Cooper Seattle Cable Knit Jumper Colours

The HC Seattle roll neck cable knit jumper is available in Fern Green, Ink Navy, Winter White, Black, Dark Camel Marl, Chocolate & Oatmeal - (As of 2024) I have created a handy image of all the different knit colours together so you can easily find your next buy!

Dubarry Longford Country Boots

I’ve styled the look with my Dubarry Longford Country Boots, which had been on my wishlist for ages. I treated myself to a pair this year! These boots offer a more feminine silhouette compared to the chunkier Dubarry Galway boots. I like the Longford style as they have a tighter fit, streamlined design with a small heel (but are still 100% practical and waterproof.)

A perfect combination of style and comfort ~ Dubarry boots and tweed.

Sizing

Just a heads up: I find that both Dubarry of Ireland clothing and Holland Cooper jumpers tend to run big. If you're in between sizes or in doubt, I recommend sizing down. However, Dubarry footwear runs small, so it's best to size up for boots.

Timeless Country Classics

This outfit is a blend of timeless British country classics with a modern edge ~ perfect for a stroll in the countryside or a cosy day at the pub. Don't forget to play with some country accessories for your perfect country outfit. I've worn my lovely silk twill scarf from Clare Haggas. I won't go anywhere without a bag. I like teaming my Dubarry boots with one of their Dubarry handbags because the leather matches perfectly. The combination of tweed, country leather boots, and a cable knit jumper embodies the essence of British countryside fashion perfectly and is one of my favourite country girl outfits!

Silk, Tweed & Boots: The Perfect British Countryside Fashion Combo

The perfect silk blouse for an elegant British countryside look

The Art of Effortless Country Style

Why I Love Silk and Tweed for a Classic Countryside Look

I simply adore wearing silk ~ it makes you feel so elegant and feminine, perfect for that classic British countryside fashion vibe.

One of my favourite pieces is the Holland Cooper Ariella Blouse (in Oyster), with its oversized satin bow. Paired with the beautifully tailored Vantage Atelier tweed skirt, the ensemble creates a timeless and luxurious silhouette that embodies the charm of countryside glamour.

Timeless countryside fashion—silk, tweed, and leather boots for a chic rural ensemble.

The Holland Cooper Ariella Blouse in Oyster

Shop the Ariella Blouse HERE

This blouse is designed with a fluid drape and a statement oversized bow collar. Made from luxurious satin fabric (which feels like silk), it is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any country fashion wardrobe. It is a staple piece we all need. The tailored fit on the shoulders and the looser fit through the body, along with the extended cuffs, create a beautifully feminine silhouette. The arms are made from a sheer fabric that makes it different to your average satin blouse.

"Designed with a fluid drape with a statement oversized bow collar, this blouse has been beautifully created from an elegant satin fabric. Curated to be fitted on the shoulders with a looser fit through the body, the extended cuffs enhance the feminine silhouette of this piece."
