Lashings of leather

Hi,

This season think edgy street style and urban tough. Butter soft leather in black can be found in biker jackets, trousers and dresses in most high street shops. With studs and zips a key detail on clothing, bags and belts. This French Connection outfit ticks many boxes. Plain top £35, fur gilet £110, Leather trousers £220, strappy heel £140 and encrusted ring £18. A super cool outfit.

Will you be wearing leather trousers this Winter?

Shoulders are HUGE

Hi,

It's all about the shoulder this season. Shoulders are volcanic and dramatic- horizontally out, up and boulder like round. Think Dallas and Dynasty ( remember it! ). The bonus is big shoulders gives the illusion of a tiny waist. This structured shoulder jacket with diagonal zip is from Miss Selfrige, £110.

Will you be going huge this season? Is it all in the size?

BBC radio london and TheFashionfix

Hi,

On Tuesday, Vanessa Feltz came to Brent Cross to do a live show. After speaking to Vanessa about the trends for the season and how to adapt them for your age, I was given the challenge of dressing a member of the live audience in 30 minutes. Here is a pic of Martyn, the volunteer, Vanessa and I. Martyn was originally dressed in jeans, white shirt, cardigan and tan boots, my challenge was to change her outfit/ image in 30 minutes!! We ran to Topshop where I kitted her out with a gorgeous black dress ( it is difficult to see the detail here), a very soft and stunning stud collar black leather jacket, a large statement necklace and black tights. We ran from Topshop to Office where I grabbed a fab pair of flat biker boots and an extremely high pair of platform shoes ( here I am in the pic above showing them to the audience). As we had to run down the escalator to return to the live radio show, Martyn wore the boots and I carried the shoes. The audience loved the outfit and transformation, Martyn went back to Topshop to buy the jacket and Vanessa and her team were very impressed by what I had acheived in just 30 minutes. Success all round.

Just think how much you can get if you book a 2 hours or more shopping session with me. Listen to the podcast at bbc.co.uk and play Vanessa Feltz 29th September.

Happy listening
