Tell me about it....stud.

One item I have fallen in love with is Burberry's Studded Trench, and whilst this is technically a summer piece I am hoping with the lack of sunshine and temperature these past few months we may have (fingers crossed ) an Indian summer. I'm adoring the snakeskin belt too!

I cannot afford the real thing but I do intend to do some DIYing! Vintage Burberry trench's are going on ebay for next to nothing so I may as well purchase a few (well just in case something goes wrong! Which it will no doubt). This way at least I can throw in some skull and faux diamond studs and spikes.

I'm well up for rocking that fetish/glam rock trend.

The Power Jumper

Ahh the humble knit! Loving Sportmax, teaming an orange poloneck with a sequin skirt pure genius.

Warm and fashionable....what a winner.

Pick and Mix

I spent yesterday flicking through Vogue grabbing inspiration from here there and everywhere. But one article/photo session had me smiling and giggling with glee. My inner child had been released. Looking like a bag of dolly mixtures I sat in amazement. This doesn't go with that and that doesn't go with this....but it fucking does! A kaleidoscope of popping candy colour...the perfect antidote to all the prim and proper secretaries and androgyny. Whilst I love all that I also want to have fun. Fedoras were felt, bright and bold, furs were glam rock explosions, shoes were neon day glows that wouldn't look out of place at an 80's ecstasy party. It's time I dusted down my old Louis Vuitton clutches and team with argyle socks, dotty trousers and parkas covered in broaches and military paraphernalia.  Oh I love it all........

You can't see my knees

Thankgod the midi skirt has returned! My thighs are now hidden from view and everyone can be thankful for that. I'm teaming mine with heels, boots, power jumpers, floaty shirts and lashings of fur.

Gender is just an illusion

Androgyny=Power which equals Sex. And Sex=Style.

Are you suited and booted for the high powered bored meeting? Working for your six figure sum on Wall Street, hypnotise your assistants into fashion envy with a freshly pressed tuxedo and crisp white shirt. Which materials...take your pick Miss. Velvet, leather, silk. Let your ankle grazers take pride of place with a pair of comfy and practical loafers so you can save your tired tootsies for cocktail hour.

Monochrome rules so accessorise with a chilled martini and cigarette. Mix it up with a sequinned bow tie, wrap around gold belt, top hat and sky high needle thin stilletos.

Style Icon: Marlene Dietrich. 

On the hippy trail

A more difficult look to pull off for Autumn/Winter but a definite mood enhancer. Start with classic basics  denim shirts and work your way up print by print. Think vintage Pucci, Snakeskin and Jumpsuits. Dress as if you were attending Coachella in the cold.

Accessories: Wide brimmed hats, suede boots and skinny belts. 

Style Icon: Nicole Richie. 

Cowboys and Indians

This is probably the easiest and simplest look to wear for AW11. Pair with your favourite jeans and add a classic Poncho and aviator shades. Remember Carrie and her photoshoot 'Single and Fabulous' explanation point! Wear with your favourite battered leather cowboy boots for trapsing around in the sleet or with frindged jackets and snake skin heels for a slightly more appopriate hour. Preflably in front of a log fire with a nice Cote du Rhone.

Accessories: A brightly coloured backpack for your day time essentials (your flask of hot tea) and a animal print clutch for your red lippy & moisturiser. No dry patches aloud.
