TWO TONED TROUSERS...

Michael Van Der Ham's S/S 12 collection has got me obsessed with two-toned trousers - they are so effortlessly cool - flashing just a little bit of ankle (obviously not to be worn in these Siberian temperatures!) I love the mint and white version, so if someone in Zara could please make them for me.....

CAROLINE...

With Fashion week coming up I am looking forward to all the new street style. One that never disappoints is Caroline Issa- Publisher and Fashion Director of Tank Magazine. She describes her style as "..pretty simple when it comes to dressing. I love tailoring from YSL, and have quite a few Pilati pieces. I also love a good blouse and Equipment and Hamilton-Paris are my go-tos – you can pair them with everything.." Check out Garance Dore interview Career Girl for an insight into Caroline's amazing job and lifestyle: http://www.garancedore.fr/2012/01/31/career-girl-caroline/

BEAUTY FILE...

I love Emily Weiss's style, she always looks super groomed and pulls off crisp white outfits all year around! She is founder and editor of Into the Gloss which is fast becoming one of the most influential blogs and go to for beauty tips on the web. I love reading all their secrets from editors, stylists and models, and backstage tips from make-up artists and hairdressers. Check it out here: http://intothegloss.com/

Sweetness....

Chalky pastels are obviously everywhere this Spring/Summer. Take your cue from Philip Lim and make them less prim and girly by layering them all together for added impact.
