One of my favourite designers of all time, Vivienne Westwood, has designed a gorgeous exclusive jewellery collection using the new precious metal palladium and will be showcased at an event during London Week in February 2011 – I can’t wait!
Vivienne Westwood
The range, named ‘Vivienne Westwood Get A Life Collection’ is inspired by nature and symbols from paganism such as the acorn, the oak tree and a heart. They represent strength, luck, power and hope for change to help the environment and make the future a better place.

Menswear designer Michael Bastian has collaborated with premium lifestyle brand Gant for his first ever womenswear collection resulting in gorgeous, versatile pieces for Spring/Sumer 2011.
Gant fuses American casualness with European elegance that can easily be dressed up or down and offers clothing for men, women and children. The collaboration with Michael Bastian is sure to be a huge success as the clothing is super chic but has that coolness to them.
The collection mixes the perfect balance of casual and sophistication and is full of a variety of pieces that can be mixed and matched to create some great spring/summer outfits. I love the blazer teamed with the mini skirt and the cardigan paired with the playsuit – playful yet still has an air of elegance.

Fashionistas and celebs around the world are taking a more masculine approach to their outfits lately mixing strong tailored pieces with feminine accessories - a great combination!
Celebrities who have already jumped on board this whole suit trend are Winona Ryder, Kate Hudson, Leighton Meester, Olivia Wilde and one of my favourite style icons – Alexa Chung who so rocked the whole neck-tie and braces look!
There are so many ways to achieve this trend so have fun with it! From tapered trousers to peg-legged designs and floaty blouses to button up shirts the possibilities are endless and you could come up with some amazing outfits to wear to parties, evening drinks or to daily appointments. Tuxedo jackets and double breasted blazers are a perfect way of completing your outfit. You could even go all out and sport a cummerbund or tie!
To complete your tailored look accessorise with a little feminine boxy clutch, some sparkly jewellery and sky high heels. This really is elegant sophistication at its best!

Muks’ Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection has a gorgeous range of winter boots that are sure to keep your feet and toes super toasty and comfy throughout the cold weather. They have even introduced its first ever Muks Wedge for this season featuring a cross-shaped nail-head studded pattern on the toe with more subtle studding on the leather wrap-around straps.
This stylish brand has an A-List celebrity following consisting of Kate Moss, Beyonce and Kate Hudson so it’s hard to believe that Muks are traditionally worn for hunting in the snow whilst Canadian Aboriginals have been enjoying the warmth and comfort of the Mukluk boot for hundreds of years.
Launched in 2003, Muks has turned this traditional boot into an item adored by fashionistas around the world. Studded suede and luxurious furs can be seen throughout The Glam Rock Collection. Edginess and a hint of femininity are mixed with Native Canadian Aboriginal and 70’s bohemian inspirations to remain true to the traditional Muks.
