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!

The Summer Coat.....

By the looks of it we will all be need a good lightweight coat this summer and these are two of my favourites. I am really loving the 3/4 length coat this season and in these lightweight fabrics they are perfect to see you through.  This week you can WIN the coat in the second look just leave a comment below or retweet the blog...deadline Friday 7th June  








TIP... try a minimal shape in a neutral colour and the collarless detail gives this a sharper finish and looks great over round neck shapes brighten the look with a colourful trainer

TIP... this coat is still minimal in style but the fuller shape means it is a perfect coat to wear over more fitted pieces of clothing you can also belt this shape tight around the waist and wear it as a dress with the collar up this can be a really sexy alternative

TIP... simple dress shapes are great with a modern boots for a tougher approach to a mini dress go for round toe to compliment the 60's vibe of this outfit

TIP... update culottes and try them in leather and to give this a more modern approach why not try a head to toe leather look as long as you keep the colour palette neutral for a lengthening effect

TIP... for those who are hesitant of pastel shades why not try them in leather as this hardens the look of the piece and wear with a simple oversized top for a casual day outfit and add black shoes (my way of colour blocking this summer)
