why i do what I do.....

I am now Fashion Director at Glamour magazine but following on from the success of my weekly column in the Sunday Times Style magazine I thought I would bring this page to life every week and also give you the chance to comment. This page is not for me to dictate what you should be wearing but to offer ideas on how to put wearable outfits together. Its not what you wear it's how you wear it!

Monochrome.....

Win the blouse from my first look!  tell me your favourite outfit tweet me @nataliehartley or leave a comment I will pick the best one, send you the shirt then wear it your way email me a picture and will post/ tweet it! good luck!




TIP...I love black and white stripes and trousers are a great way to wear them the downward stripe adds length and wear with a simple shirt look for collar details like these studs and match with metallic platform shoes

TIP...colour blocking with black and white gives this look a sporty feel wear the dress for day with trainers and shoes for night

TIP...black and white accessories are all you need these flatforms are the summer must have and use a clutch as a day bag against an all white out fit for an extra detail go for an aline midi length skirt and break up the white with a stripe vest

  1. Probably should say the first look shouldn't I? Especially since I have those trousers too:) But nope, the second look wins my heart.. If not only for the shoes I also think your bun looks so perfect with the whole outfit!

  4. Am I too late? I would wear the shirt with my vintage mint green midi skirt with double buckle belt and these shoes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190658033311
    I coudn't describe them in a way that would do them justice so I thought would just add the link. My man's leather watch and voila :)

  5. As the weather isnt very nice at the moment, I would wear it with a jumper and have the color on show. I would have the lot tucked in to my highwaisted jeans and a fab pair of high heels!

  6. I love the first outfit! It's just so smart and foxy, and at the same time it's fun and sassy - it's so you :)

    I would wear it with a boyfriend-style jeans with the chilled fit and the dirty wash, high heels and wassup-attitude :)
