My Gasoline Rainbow

Plaid has always been a fashion staple and this year has been no exception – we only need to look at the catwalk offerings of Moschino, Tommy Hilfiger and Celine to see that plaid is back in a big way this season. Whether you decide to opt for a gorgeous tartan jacket to keep you warm and toasty, or prefer to accessorise with your plaid in the form of a stylish bag, ASOS Marketplace have a selection of mid-season must haves to suit any taste from their collection of individual online boutiques. See the inspiration board for a few ways to wear your plaid this season!

In fact this has been going for about 6 months now and I don't see it going away any time soon. Whether you are wearing a pair of frilly lace ankle socks or grey woolly mid length socks - mismatch them with sandals, or wear them with your favourite red points. Anything goes!

Lots of changes happening at Australia Fair at the moment, with some great new displays on show throughout the centre featuring some of latest trends and styles. It's so great to actually be able to see the outfits on the mannequin in a "setting" and touch and feel the fabrics - a great addition! www.australiafair.com.au ALLY FASHION $39.99 This stunning wool mustard peplum jacket was a great find at Ally (also available in black in some stores). Stylish and structured, a great addition for the fashionistas. TEMT $19.95 Monochrome is hot this season and this basic tee ticks all the boxes. Love the studded detail for an edgier look. ADRENALIN FROM $50.00 It's a sad sad day but this is the last we will see from Adrenalin as next week they leave their roots at Australia Fair and travel to a new home at Marina Mirage.
