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!

New York Fashion Week, Day 3

Today I have decided to mix up my fabrics and textures the silk against the sheepskin bag and patent quilted trainers all work really well together as long as the colour tones stay the same. This fashion week you can WIN the trainers and bag from UGG Australia just RT the blog or leave a comment below




TIP...play with shades of black by mixing up textures like sheepskin and patent as seen on these accessories and wear with a graphic style top to add more detail and play with neutral colour blocking

Trousers by helmut lang
Shoes and bag by UGG Australia




More New York Fashion Week highlights....

New York Fashion Week, Day 2



TIP...strong shapes and folds work really well on top and look for high necks which are very flattering and give the effect of a longer neck, contrast with a simple pair of wide leg trousers in navy that are not too baggy to slightly show off the Nike trainers

Natalie Hartley Runs...with Animal Flow

So here it is the new style of training that have been practising with my trainer at Equinox. Animal Flow. This style of training combines yoga, tai chi, boxing plus many more with the classic moves to create animalistic movements to develop and build all your muscles at once. The Crab is what I am badly demonstrating below but there are many more styles to learn it fucking hard but once you got it its quite addictive. Want to know more? Take a look here and watch the video of the guy that created this new workout craze...crazy but very clever Equinox

More core strengtheners, a killer for the stomach can't even remember what I did here but it hurt!
