A shopper tweeted me last week asking what my favourite go-to store was at Top Ryde City. My natural answer, Sheike. I am always checking out what is new in their store, because season after season I have formed a fashion love affair with Sheike's collections.
I know I am not alone as the store is always buzzing with ladies trying on new looks. It's easy to see why they are so loved with their ability to design on trend, chic, structured- and affordable styles each season. That being said, I was super thrilled this week to check out the Sheike A/W lookbook. It was just released and yes ladies, it's drool worthy!

One trend that I have been watching develop this season is Baroque and Sheike have some killer dresses that are right on the Baroque trend. Here is my stylist low-down for anyone unfamiliar with Baroque prints!
Like any new trend, don't be scared to give it a go, think of baroque as this seasons new twist on floral print. Baroque is a print typically made up of chains, animal, and floral motives but overall baroque translates to over the top and elaborate design. It's reminiscent of vintage Versace collections, which in my eyes brings out an 80's supermodel sex appeal when worn. This trend requires minimal accessories especially when wearing a baroque print dress a necklaces will most likely get lost in the print, so opt to earrings and or a statement cocktail ring instead. Belts can also be handy when wearing a baroque print, especially if your a girl who is body conscious. A waist belt will break the print up and cinch you in at the waist.
Sheike's new collection sees baroque print on knitted fitted dresses in a colour palette of emerald green, off white and tones of blue, grey and black. As well as on a stand out navy peplum dress, which is one of those great pieces that works from the office to a hot date in seconds or even to the races on the weekend when styled right.

Below are my Style Me boards on how to accessorise and style this new trend. P.S As always feel free to tweet me @rochelle_fox and even twit pic me. I am here to help you with any of your fashion faux pas and lend advice on how to make this trend work for you!
STYLE NOTE- All accessories and clothing is Sheike shoes are new season looks from Nine West
STYLE NOTE- This peplum dress is the perfect dress for all occasions, its fitted structured and offers a more modern peplum detail to most peplum looks I have seen, (which is great because no one wants to be rocking 80's looking peplum). I've styled this look for the Autumn races, all it needs is a fab hat or fascinator to finish and you are frocked up for a day betting on the fillies!
STYLE NOTE- Sheike's Heritage knit dress in navy and white is on my 'must have list' because there are so many ways to style this look again and again. Wearing Sheike's 'Heritage Dress' would work great with simple black or navy heels, stockings and a structured blazer, creating a minimal but on trend work outfit for the girl who likes to be known as the fashion forward chick in the workplace.
This dress can go further than the office, it's just as easy to amp up this peice for a night out on the town. Simply adding a red coat and clutch will create instant sex appeal and everyone loves a woman in red! Take the look even further by a applying a red lip with lashings of mascara and you can go from the office chic to vixen in seconds.
