I love the Olsen Twin’s label Elizabeth and James, and now available over at Net-a-porter is this gorgeous plaid coat from their collection. Typical of their style, this could easily have fallen out of one of their closets.
You could team it as they would, with super skinny jeans, towering heels and an oversized clutch, however, this is such a versatile piece it could be chucked over just about anything.
The coat features pockets on each hip, and the contrast ribbed sleeves and hidden magnetic fastening at the neck make sure this coat keeps you cosy.
Get yours for £515 from Net-a-porter today!

The shops are full of it, the adverts are already on TV, and despite the fact we haven’t even had Halloween yet, Christmas is already clawing it’s way in. The plus side is though that now is a perfectly acceptable time to start hunting down the perfect Christmas party dress.
This Preen Drape dress is sure to turn heads. The timeless design and update of the little black dress - now the little gray dress - will mean you can pull it out of the wardrobe again and again. Keep it on trend this season by teaming it with a blazer or tux jacket, and next season, who knows! A good pair of heels will always work well with this dress though.
The wrap detail on the waist will cover all multitude of Christmas sins, and means you don’t need a belt to create a nice silhouette.
It costs £545 and is available now from Net A Porter.

I’ve just pulled out my ankle boots from last year, and quite frankly they’re just not going to cut it this time around. My footwear is in dire need of an update!
Step in (pun intended) Net a Porter! They’ve got a great selection of this season’s best boots, all handily displayed in a mini online magazine! The shoe boot is a great new look this season, keeping your feet warm and dry but without committing to a full on boot. And there’s just something about their shape that makes them rather covetable.
These Stella McCartney Patent bootiesare absolute winners, and would look great with any outfit. Highlight them by teaming them with other patent accessories, such as a bag or belt, to pull your look together.
They cost £325 (not bad for Stella McCartney!) and are available from Net a Porter now.

The winter is here and the winter woollies are coming out from wardrobes across the country. So if you’re feeling a bit blue at the thought of dull, dark clothes for those long cold months, I have the perfect cure – bright red! Bright red (or tomato red) is the colour this season and numerous little red dresses were showcased on the Autumn Winter 2008 catwalks.
Even Daisy and Lizzy have been spotted donning those LRDs. It’s a vibrant colour which is extremely flattering and will cheer up your winter wardrobe - and this amazing embellished dress from Philip Lim encompasses everything you want in a red dress this season. Team with tights and black killer heels for a sophisticated look which will be perfect for Christmas. Or for a more casual look add a cardigan a skinny jeans.
This 3.1 Phillip Lim Crystal embellished dress is £445 and available at Net-a-porter.

As we all know, sequins are really hot right now, and the fresher way of wearing them this season is in the form of accessories. I’m a fan of the sequin scarves and hats that are popular at the moment, but for me it’s all about these shoes!
I think these shoes would be a very wise investment – always a classic and adorably twinkly I couldn’t imagine getting tired of these taking me around town.
Perfect for setting off a LBD, or even dressing up a more casual look (think Beyonce in her ‘Me, myself and I video; black off the shoulder top, ¾ length leggings and sequin shoes, I think that’s one of her hottest looks).
If you can’t resist these either, then head over to Net-a-porter where you can bag these Miu Miu Paillette embellished pumps for £350. (Note that the size runs small to size so you may be best to go up half a size!).

I am a big fan of the Herve dress, but if the £800+ price tag is a little out of reach, there are some fairly good imitations on the market. Take this Herve-a-like by Lipsy. This one shoulder bandage mini dress couldn’t really be mistaken for a Herve, but at first glance it’s a pretty close match and if you love the bandage dress but not the price tag, it’s the next best thing.
This dress also features some sophisticated detailing on the back – the single shoulder strap doubles into two asymmetric back straps, which look pretty effective and just like a Herve it features all over horizontal stripes. What’s more it’s just £55 from ASOS.
The real Herve is of course gorgeous; sleeveless, with a deep V neck and the popular body-con silhouette it’s stunning. You can pick up this particular style for £828 from Matches.

I love this navy origami tank dress by Fendi. Effortlessly chic, this dress simply pulls on and the round neck and A-line shape creates a very relaxed and understated feel, whilst the ruffles create all the drama. I love the ruffle style three dimensional origami detailing and the overall shape of the dress.
Made from 100 % silk the movement to the dress is bound to be divine and how many stunning evening dresses could be so comfortable to wear?
Team with simple accessories such as an oversized cocktail ring, plain oblong clutch and sky scraper heals so as not to interfere with the impact of the dress. If you like what you see and can afford the £1030 price tag, you can get this Fendi Origami tank dress from Net-a-porter.

Marc Jacobs is one of the UK’s most popular designers, and Kate Moss counts him among her favourite designers. Naturally most of his collections come with a matching designer price tag, which puts his clothes well out of reach for most of us. However, the Marc by Marc Jacobs range is an affordable, ready to wear collection that has some great pieces.
This Marc by Marc Jacobs Wonderland Blocks top captures the vibrant and colourful nature of Marc Jacob’s work, and comes in at under £200. The smock shape makes it really versatile - wear it tucked in and billowing over a black pencil skirt or jeans, or just leave it untucked for a more casual look. The bright colours will stand out best when worn with black - and keep accessories to a minimum as it’s a bold print.
You can get this top from Net a Porter, who also stock the rest of the Marc by Marc Jacobs range.

One item fighting for room on my Christmas list is this digital cuff watch from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Featuring a white leather cuff, imprinted logo on the side of the gold tone metal buckle this is such a simple design and in my opinion so much more stylish than a big ‘ole clock face.
What’s more it’s reasonably priced at just £140 – not too bad for such a great label!
If you want this Marc by Marc Jacobs Buckle digital watch too, head over to Net-a-porter today.
