OHPOLLY RED SUIT
You cannot go wrong with a powerful red suit. Female suiting is a favourite style of mine, but I rarely find suit trousers that fit correctly or look long enough. This OhPolly suit is a head turner, the cropped blazer length, flared leg and bright red colour make a flawless co-ord. I wore tan Stradivarius braided mules with the suit to give a neutral contrast against the popping red.

FASHION WEEK
London Fashion Week 16th – 20th February and London Fashion Week Festival 22nd – 25th February are the biggest events, not to be missed by avid fashion followers. However, there is intense pressure to deliver an insanely chic outfit. It is essential to style a classy outfit that is fashion forward. You cannot fail with a statement trouser and polka dots are the pattern this season … with this in mind, for Berlin Fashion Week, I co-ordinated this combination of Black extreme palazzo trousers, a black and white polka dot shirt with balloon sleeves and tie waist, red fur and dark red sock boots. I accessorised with a black baker boy hat and a polka dot bag. With these fresh and fashionable pieces I wore my signature red lip. The fundamental quality is that you feel confident in your outfit.
On another note Fashion Fans I urge you to visit Berlin, especially in Fashion Week! Although the German festival has not yet become as huge as London/Paris/New York, the events I attended were invaluable to my fashion learning. Fashion Tech and the Ethical Fashion show opened my eyes to the future of fashion and the importance of changing our ways for the better of the planet; vital information best fed through industry talks. Berlin on the whole is an incredibly vibrant city full of mesmerising Street Art alongside quaint/archaic architecture. The city is a key shopping location for both luxury in KaDeWe and concept stores such as Bikini Berlin. Concept stores are the future; the insanity of fast fashion has converted fashion desires to constant ‘wants’ making consumers forget the importance to experience the buzz of shopping. Bikini Berlin provides a healthy mix of stores both independent and chain brands, food stores to cater to any wants, while an area provides an exquisite bar and swing lounge area. A place to stimulate all senses and bring enjoyment back to shopping experiences.

RED WINTER FUR
Looking toward Winter – which is just around the corner – this red fur coat on Mango online caught my eye. Despite the hefty price, my inner Jack Frost was calling for this key piece and with red being this Winter’s hottest colour I couldn’t resist. I’ve always been a huge fan of red especially paired with military style accessories. Here I styled the fur with leather look leggings, a thin black jumper with pearl cuff detail, cream and black patent boots and a black military style cap. Military chic is just so stylish and very easy to achieve, especially with Winter fashion. Layering is my favourite aspect of Winter fashion, it enables any outfit to look fashionable. The coat is high quality; the faux fur is luxuriously soft, the crystal embellishment adds decor to the plain red surface, while the oversized lapel adds a dramatic neckline. The beauty of a faux fur coat is that it can be dressed up with all black à la 1950‘s Starlet or just simply with jeans for a relaxed but warm Winter’s day. Bring on the chill ….
