So Cool

Hi,
Summer is here!You may have noticed jumpsuits in all the shops on the High Street and being worn by many a fashionista. This fab print jumpsuit is from Topshop and is cool and comfortable to wear on a hot Summers day. The other plus is that you only have to think about what to wear on your feet and what shades to wear - it couldn't be easier.
Enjoy the weather

Prints are cool!

Hi,

Summer has arrived again this week and print dresses are a cool option for this weather. Eye popping patterns, tribal, ikat, madras, animal, checks, florals, stripes and digitally manipulated abstract prints can all be found on the High Street. This great dress is from New Look and I am loving the fact that it is also maxi ( no need for constant leg waxes! )

Enjoy the weather, long may it last.

Short Story

Hi,
You may have thought that I had stopped writing my blog, but I have not had the time, life has been hectic, but here I am back again with a short story!
Shorts are big this season, not literally, because wear them
the tinier the better. Styles range from frayed denim, to cycling shorts, to high waist florals. Dress them down by teaming with a slouchy tee, blazer and brogues or dress them up with a lace top and heels.
This pair are from New Look £18, vest £16, waistcoat £30.
Now you just need some sunshine or fake tan and show off your legs.

Double Denim

Hi,

Do you remember this look from the first time around? Double denim- wear head to toe denim. Team a denim shirt or denim jacket with your jeans. You will find denim in every High street shop this Spring. Start the season with this look from Primark and move into little denim shorts, as the weather gets warmer.

Will you go double this season?

What kind of girl are you?

Hi,

New season new trends. What to wear this season I hear you shout? Well first of all you need to secide- Am I the kinda girl that likes to look pretty and feminine, or am I the more practical type, that prefers a more sleek and sophisticated look? This season offers fondant colours and sugar coated prettiness for you girly-girls. Ice cream and pastel shades in floaty fabrics ( think Timotei girl). The picture from Miss Selfridge shows the delicate and feminine Spring look.

In contrast, there is the military or utility trend that is both hardwearing and chic. Key items are the parka, military jacket, chinos and cargo/ combat trouser. Layer khakis and neutrals and wear them with lace up boots.

What's your style, girly or military?

One of the Spring trends that can be translated easily and worn now is the military look. The parka or combat jacket and khaki combat trousers are the perfect outfit. This outfit from Warehouse is from their Utility label and will be available from the end of February. Prices start from £18.

Will you go for the military look or feminine and pretty?

Spring in your step

Hi,

Today I feel like Spring is finally on its way. I am sitting at my computer, the sun is shining and i can hear the birds singing. With the thought of better weather on its way ( yes, I know I'm being optimistic as its only February) you may like to see what you will be wearing on your feet this coming season.

Wooden soled shoes are big news with clogs this season's new shoe trend. This fab style from Office are £60.

Love then or hate them?

The future looks pretty

Hi,

A belated Happy New Year.

Just as we are thawing out, I thought it would be a nice idea to get a little glimpse of what lies ahead, not mystic Meg style, but what you will be wearing in the new season.

Spring/ Summer looks set to be a time to look pretty. Florals and pastels make a comeback, which is refreshing, after a season of black and thermals!

This daisy chain ruched dress from French Connection £75 is just a little taster of what you can expect.

Keep an eye out for www.thefashionfix.co.uk to get a full update of the trends.

Will you be glad to get out of black? I can't wait.

Christmas panic

Hi,
With only 8 days to go and Christmas pressies and lunch to think about, you may be in a bit of a panic ( I know I am). I thought I would show you this great outfit for Christmas day lunch, although probably best to get changed into it after you have made the lunch. The outfit is from Wallis and the leggings can easily be dressed up or down. As I am typing this, it is snowing heavily and my kids are overexcited about the prospect of school being closed a day before they are due to break up. With kids off, pressies to wrap, turkey to buy and lunch to plan, I may not get to blog again until the New Year. So, here are my top 10 tips for Party dressing
1. LBD- little black dress
2. Embellished bag, necklace, shoe or belt
3. Sequins- on any garment
4. Skyscraper heels
5. Patterned tights
6. Metallic clutch bag
7. A tux
8. Leather skinnies
9. Disco dress, the shinier the better
10. Lots of party invitations
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year

5 weeks and counting

Hi,

You may not have noticed ( if you live in a box), but since the beginning of October every shop is either selling or decorated with all things Christmas and every television advert is pushing another toy for our kids to ask for on their Christmas list, as if it wasn't long enough already! Well the good news is Christmas day is 5 weeks today! Yipee, I hear you say. Before you start to panic about everything you need to get done, I can help you a little with tips on what to wear to the many parties you have been invited to. This party season it is a time to sparkle, shine and dazzle and this dress at £75 and the bracelet at £15 from New Look, ticks all the boxes.

One shoulder?

Hi,

Sorry there has been a shortage of blogs, but I have been busy, it's that time of year. With thoughts of Christmas and soon to be parties and invitations, I thought I would show you how fashion has come over all asymmetric. A one shouldered dress shows a little flesh, but has the security of one strap. Sexy, demure and sure to make an impact. This one shouldered stud party dress is from Warehouse £100.

I love this look and you will find versions in many High street stores.

Will you bare a shoulder? Do you like this style?

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?

Animal lovers

Animal passions run high this season. Leopard, python, cheetah and ponyskin. You can find animal prints on sweaters, cardigans, dresses, coats, shoes and bags. Team with plain, luxe fabrics for maximum impact.

This purple snake clutch bag is from Dorothy Perkins £18.00.

What animal will you be?

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.

For more trends take a look at www.thefashionfix.co.uk.

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
