Pencil skirts.....

TIP...go quirky and clash your prints the classic and very flattering way of wearing the skirt is to tuck the top inside to accentuate your waist add a belt if the skirt doesn't do this on its own and a fab pair of stiletto boots finishes the look

TIP...for a casual approach to wearing a pencil skirt wear with a loose jumper and trainers the open knit of the jumper gives the look a more grungy feel

Shoe The Keyhole.....

I have let Javari shoes into my flat to film my ever growing shoe collection, (although am sure some of you have more than me!), where I talk about the stories behind certain pairs of shoes I have under my rail. Javari is an online shoe store and 'Shoe The Keyhole' is part of their new campaign.

To run alongside this they are doing their first ever exhibition of shoe collections from Daphne Guiness, Christian Louboutin and Nicholas Kirkwood.

It's a free day out!

Column dresses.....

TIP...this style if dress can sometimes be very unflattering but a strong overall print is a great distraction wear with silver flats for a quirky day look

TIP...I love this jumper dress and for added length and a more flattering idea I have layered a silk dress underneath this give a slight punk feel to the outfit too

TIP...go for a midi length but wear with heels for a flattering look go for a platform to give weight to the outfit and I have clashed the prints as long as the colour tones work together the overall look works too!

Sequins.....

TIP...leggings are the easiet and most wearable way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe great with a simple loose jumper or t-shirt or glam it up with a hairy coat the brogues give the look a contrsating mod approach

TIP...play with print and sequin tartan is great as it gives a more punk feel to the outfit but by adding a t-shirt and sequin collar the look becomes more feminine wear with glitter heels (minus the stickers on the sole!) but the heavy style of the shoe makes the glitter seem less girly its a key shoe style for winter

TIP...play down silver sequin shorts with knitwear both fabrics look great together play with print in the jumper or keep the knit plain but a metallic boot lifts the look and stops the outfit looking too casual
