Halloween Hotty

A Halloween costume doesn't have to be hideous!

I'm channelling superstardom today and dressing the part in this gorgeous strapless number with a faux fur shrug.
I had to push the boat out for the accessories as it wouldn't be very convincing if there wasn't enough sparkle. So I've sprinkled myself with almost $3million worth of Tiffany diamonds.

What can I say, I'm worth it.

Have a fab day!

Let's get leathered

There are a lot of half-and-half garments for winter such as the one I'm wearing today.

I've got this fabulous Phillip Lim silk top with leather sleeves which goes perfectly with a pair of blue jeans. To tie in with the tan-coloured sleeves I've found these awesome Fendi ankle boots which are perfect for stomping around in puddles!

A nice shiny Louis Vuitton bag will protect its contents from puddle splashes and all the accessories compliment each other for a casual Saturday look.

Have a fab day!

Wear it Pink

It's 'Wear it Pink' day today, which raises funds for Breast Cancer, and I've dressed appropriately.

It's very easy to look sickly sweet in this colour but I've gone for a dusty rose version with a pretty lace top, some cropped chinos and some cute little Fendi ballet flats. This delicious Louis Vuitton cherry-print bag adds another colour to the mix and the jewellery adds textures.

I hope lot's of money is raised to help this very worthy cause.

Have a fab day!

A lovable brogue

Today I'm featuring the lovable brogue. It's an ideal shoe for winter and you can really have fun with it.

This gorgeous Rupert Sanderson two-tone, high-heeled pair are a perfect starting point for an androgynous look. So I've teamed some straight-leg black trou with a cropped tuxedo-style jacket and a DKNY sequined black t-shirt for a bit of sparkle.

Fabulous but toned-down accessories give the look pizzazz.

Have a fab day!

Jean therapy

Coloured jeans are a must to inject some light into the season.

Today I've chosen some bright blue fitted jeans and paired them with a vintage style Orla Kiely top, with tiered, scalloped sleeves. A fabulous Vivienne Westwood tartan jacket shares the limelight with the jeans and my velvet wedges elongate my legs.
Blue and gold accessories and a beautiful faded-looking Louis Vuitton bag integrate all the colours so that the jeans don't dominate the look.

Have a fab day!
