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?

Take a look at www.thefashionfix.co.uk for more ideas of what to wear.

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

I would love your comments on your site,

Fashion flashback

Hi,

A fashion flashback to the 80's. For all you disco divas that didn't wear them the first time around- a groovy pair of sequin leggings from Primark at just £11. Just one of the many trends for Winter 09- more of which , at a later date.

Love them or hate them?

Will you be wearing them? Did you wear them the first time around?

Keep checking www.thefashionfix.co.uk for all the other trends.

I can hear that disco beat!

Transitional Times

Hi,

Along with Summer sales, come school hols. This is a time every year when I am not known to shop or style - There are odd bits and pieces in the shops and the kids and I need to spend quality time together.

Even though Summer is officially

here ( someone tell the weather that! ), I am now looking at Autumn/ Winter 09. I will be posting pictures of new season stock and writing about the trends regularly, so watch out for them. My website www.thefashionfix.co.uk will also be updated with loads of new pics and ideas. In the meantime this great multi ring necklace from Accessorize £16 is a transitional piece that you can start wearing now.

Are you still shopping for Summer pieces or are you starting to think about the new season? Let me know.
