Style Speaks Louder

I am definitely a winter shoe girl. This was decided one day last week when i was overwhelmed by the amount of winter boots i saw and fell in love with. I prefer a good flat boot over a strappy sandal any-day and I'm a sucker for anything suede, leather, fringed or lace-up-able, this season will most certainly see my winter shoe collection...

If you like me love a good graphic t-shirt or sweatshirt then look no further than www.dnagenes.co.ukA new London based clothing brand, Dnae Genes's ethos and inspiration is generated by 'the positive diversity of people, human strength and unity', which translates to some pretty funky designs which brighten up sweat shirts and t-shirts for men and women. I particularly like the 'Interplanetary Sweatshirt'...

This APC sailor jacket was all over Paris fashion week, seen on stylists and fashionistas and is a great and fun little jacket to play around with until the winter cold really sets in. Ok so sailor style isn't really new, it feels like only yesterday (summer i think) that nautical anchors were everywhere and little seaside dresses were floating around. Topshop also...

Apologies for the lack of posting in the last few weeks - can't believe my last post was September when so much has happened in the fashion world. Milan and Paris fashion weeks have been and gone with plenty of drama - Prada girls slipping over on the catwalk (their slippy pop socks were to blame - cos we all know models can...

I've noticed a trend in accessories this week - they are all beige. Yes I know a colour normally reserved for the OAPs but to be honest beige is looking pretty hot. For example take these gorgeous bags (clock wise from top right: House of Frazer, Chloe, Burberry, Tods and YSL)are all in soft buttery beige leather - with the exception of the...

Ah the end of London Fashion Week was Friday and although I didn't get the chance to attend some of the end of FW parties I did get to see two wicked shows on Friday.I was third row (I'll explain) at Ashish and I think it may have been my highlight of LFW. There was silver fringing, frayed denim hot pants and Alice...

House of Holland SS09Retro POP was what House of Holland was all about yesterday, with an explosion of bright bold flower prints and powerful polka dots. Alas I was not at the show to see it myself but the pictures from the show look amazing. Naturally Holland’s BFF Agnes Deyn opened and closed the show for him, which couldn’t have made his show...

My second major show today, Louise Goldin, ended fashion Tuesday wonderfully. Unfortunately I was not privileged enough to see Christopher Kane today but at least I have Goldin to send me happily to sleep tonight. Luring in a big fashion crowd (The Elle fashion team was out in force) Goldin did not disappoint with an amazing show of futuristic sculptured design and glitz....

I have just got back from Emma Cook at London Fashion Week and it was amazing. Quirky cool was the theme at Emma Cook with plenty of floaty white and ruffles to put us in a summer mood. Sheer black and tight silver pencil skirts hinted at a more grown up collection but the fabulous rose- like ruffles throughout and the iridescent pink...

Plaid, Tartan and Check dominated the AW08 runways earlier this year and it looks set to be dominate your wardrobe when the Autumn Winter collections hit the shops. If you are ahead of the game you may have already noticed this bold print creeping into trousers, dresses, jackets and scarfs. In fact there seems to be nothing that the Check has not conquered....

These Stella McCartney high wedges came into the fashion cupboard a few weeks ago and I am in love. Incredibly impossible to walk in and completely in practical, I think they are great. These super wedges are in blue velvet but they also come in patent and in a variety of other colours, but they retail for around £545, so unless someone is...

During a fire alarm at the office today we found ourselves discussing the novelties of men in uniform, while waiting to be let back in.The firemen that had arrived were quite disappointing as they were neither hot or young (why is this?) but it sparked up the conversation of men in uniforms - most of the girls agreed firemen were hot, I particularly...

So after thinking I had decided what to wear on Monday morning the night before ( I planned a black satin embroidered dress with black tights and shoes, I know a little morbid but its a good look) I woke up to bright sunlight and blue skies, not normally something to complain about but it completely threw my plan for all black out...

Its that time again, as Sunday descends into night Monday morning ever looms and the difficult decision of what to wear to kick the week off grows bigger. After a whole two days of slumming it in jeans, t-shirt and trainers I want to make an impression on Monday morning, especially as there is an early morning meeting to look forward to.Unlike the...
