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.

I will keep you posted on what to wear and you can concentrate on the present buying. The countdown begins!

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.

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
