BUT, this is your last chance to buy them! Get going!
Another steal in this sale is the omni benevolent UNIF Godspeed dress! This dress is the perfect combination of hard & soft, with a fluid silhouette whilst still being edgy with the fitted bodice with cutouts. I absolutely love this piece & think I should preach!

For those inner girly girls who like edge & glamour, they also stock this in a gorgeous light pink!
On Dolls Kill it's also a lot cheaper than it usually would be on the ASOS site! Bargain!
Here are a couple of Polyvore sets i've come up with on how to wear & accessorize these pieces!

Return of the Trouser Suit & Peplums
This fall, Prada have sent models down the runway sporting the new trouser suit combo, complete with cinched waists, geometric patterns & printed bags to match... I absolutely love this collection, androgyny always appealed to me because I love the cutting edge look, the sleek, tailored designs & or me, the trouser suit is just the epitome of androgynous chic. This fall head back to work, or to play in a printed jacket/blazer or pair a simple crop tee with printed trousers & bold accessories.
Prada has been working the peplums, dramatic silhouettes & the all things Asian (the Kimono styled jackets) Absolutely love it!
Houndstooth print also appears to be back, rearing it's head in the form of structured tops & pencil skirts!
The trouser suit took on a sexier form in Jason Wu's Fall collection, sporting a formal jacket with a matching high waisted short combo & embellished collared shirts.
Here's a set I created on Polyvore showing the simplistic elegance of the trouser suit. When accessorised you can create a more effeminate, elegant look or pair it with two toned brogues to create a more edgy, androgynous look. However you wear it, add some vintage styled sunglasses & you are good to go! If it's good enough for Prada, it's good enough for us!
Cinched waists are not the only trend that is trying to accentuate the female form. Peplums are here to create the hips some of us may not have & to hide the tummies some of us may unfortunately possess, they're here to stay & have been here since 2010!
Peplums have been heavily featured on many a runway this year including, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta & Emporio Armani for example in their Fall collection's. I especially loved Bottega Veneta's take on the Peplum. It's very gothic & romantic, & if you didn't know I'm very big on velvets, black's, wines, navy's, highnecklines, chiffon & lace, usually floor length & modest. I'm very dark when it comes to fashion so this take on the peplum really appealed to me! (Middle)

The Power of Purple
The Power of Purple & Royal Hues has also been on everyone's lips at the moment, purple, the prestigious colour of the moment, emulating splendour, grandeur & luxury!
From purple polo necks to purple trouser suits, purple seems to be the key colour of Fall 2012 showcased at A/F fashion weeks and seen in many new collections.
Being noted in such Winter Collections as Dior, Erdem, Versus, Balenciaga. Prada & Christopher Kane seemed to love lavender so much that even their runways were lined with plush purple carpets & were even scented with Lavender!
You know a trend stands the test of time when it's worn boldly by celebrities on the red carpet, and none other than Diane Kruger shook her violet tail feathers in a gorgeous Prada evening gown at the MET Gala Ball - Purple is here to stay!
But my inspiration will be taken from Prada, Balaenciaga and Christopher Kane with their edgy, androgynous take on the colour purple! Taking it away from it's elitist roots & making it the colour of the fashionista!
The leather piping embellishment on the dresses amazed me & sheer accents paired with bold, oversized florals shown in the Christopher Kane collection really caught my eye, I absolutely love them.
I loved all of Christopher Kane's additions to his collection & his combination of royal hues, reds, purples, blues & blacks with an edgy use of cut outs and silhouettes - Glam but Grunge!
This Prada trouser suit just sums up my three favourite trends for this year, the trouser suit, the power of purple & prints! Absolutely love this ensemble!
Here's a Polyvore set of mine to help you pick a couple of key items to ease you into Purple Haven. Metallic accessories will give this an edgier look & sheer accents makes the whole thing more dressed up! Choose a pair of Wine Velvet Wedges or black studded Nightcrawlers & your look is complete!
