Kate Moss – Fashion Icon

Kate Moss has been awarded one of the most recognised accolades in British fashion.  This December, during the British Fashion Awards, Moss will collect a Special Recognition award for her contribution to British fashion over the last 25 years!  I’m not exactly her number one fan, but even I have to admit; from the early images of her bare faced beauty to her most recent shoot that sees her donning the Playboy uniform, she takes one amazing photograph.  Congratulations Kate, 25 years in the industry and still top of your game……

Isabel Marant pour H&M

The time has come, Thursday 14th November is nearly upon us and why am I excited?  If you had asked me two months ago I wouldn’t have had a clue; however after seeing numerous images plus the catwalk preview as well as reading various interviews with the woman herself; I am now eagerly anticipating the arrival of Isabel Marant for H&M!! Despite the designer’s RTW line not being one of my favourites, Marant has come up with the most wearable, design lead, awesome collaboration with H&M; perhaps because Marant’s clothes are in essence a high end designer version of H&M – laid back chic! This is by far the best looking collaboration H&M has done to date – heaven on the high street; the best bits….?

Isabel Marant for H&M: Sweatshirt £34.99, Oversized Blazer £99.99, Coat £99.99, Kids Canvas Shoes £29.99 and Bomber Jacket £79.99

Monochrome Perfection: Jumper £69.99, Leather Trousers £179.99, Promotional Image, Kids Jumper £34.99 Skirt £49.99 and Trousers £34.99

COLD SNAP

The weather has finally decided it’s winter and I am so confused! I didn’t think it was warm enough for my prized Burberry shearling but it probably is; however I also want a new oversized coat yet I have also seen an amazingly cute Zara duffle which must be mine!!!  As trend of the season, this years coat is especially important hence the choice – there’s dream world where Stella’s check wonder and outsized grey catwalk coats would have been draped across my shoulders months ago and Victoria Beckham’s navy check over sized has also been on my mind since first sight in February….whether I’m dreaming or not it’s such a hard life!!  Decisions, decisions…….

Stella Coats: Stella McCartney AW13

The Season’s Best Coats: Oversized Victoria Beckham, Pastel Coloured Celine, Colour Checked Mulberry and Pink Carvan

The Alternative Choice: Zara Duffle Coat AW13
