My Fashion Life

‘Sex and the City’ stylist Patricia Field thinks “MC Hammer” pants are this season’s ultimate fashion statement.

Patricia – who has styled stars in movies such as ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ – says the baggy trousers are the perfect way to stand out in a crowd.

She said: “MC Hammer pants are a good place to start if you want to stand out. Or pants with stirrups. I’d definitely recommend investing in some harem pants too. Other than that, make sure you tap into the hardwear trend with a good hair accessory or hat.”

Meanwhile, Patricia has branded ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga and former Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham “style icons”.

As the new A/W 2009/2010 products start flooding our inbox we want to share them with you.

First up are Armani’s key handbags of the season, one being Giorgio Armani’s exquisite black number (pictured on the left) and the other Emporio Armani’s fringed wonder (pictured on the right).

The GA black handbag is undeniably my favourite, created out of woven black silk ribbon, it is the epitome of quality and style. The leather handle adds the edge it needs and allows it the honour as the perfect accessory.

As I write this, it’s pouring down with rain and to make matters worse, I can hear hailstones hitting the window pane.

But yet, just two hours ago the sun was blazing. Oh, you have to love the British weather and its unpredictable nature.

The constant climate change is of utmost importance when updating our wardrobes for summer so along with strapless dresses and miniscule shorts one must not forget summer knits for those cooler days.

Let me introduce you to this gorgeous colourful batwing summer knit top by French Connection.

Love her or loathe her, one can’t deny that Cheryl Cole has a wardrobe most of us would love to raid, especially her collection of footwear.

With painfully sky high heels being the trend of choice amongst most celebs, Cheryl stepped out earlier this week in a pair of skin tight leather trousers teamed with adorable black satin pumps by none other than our favourite designer Rupert Sanderson.

Love the shoes as much as we do? They’re £395 and availble at rupertsanderson.co.uk!

Finding the perfect cover up for cool spring days and breezy summer nights is often a sartorial challenge. But fear not: This season we can borrow from the boys with a mannish, boyfriend blazer – it’s the season’s relaxed new way to work this wardrobe staple.

Yes, the masculine, oversize boyfriend blazer has returned from the eighties. The Spring/Summer ’09 runways were awash with this adaptable look. Yves Saint Laurent’s was very sleek – big in the shoulder, narrow in the hips - paired over a miniskirt. Ralph Lauren grounded a floaty chiffon evening dress by topping it of with a boyfriend blazer while Hussein Chalayan paired his with nothing but boots.

It’s a fact Markus Lupfer designs fabulous jumpers! Now, I admit that I have an unhealthy obsession with sequins, which could possibly explain why I adore this sequinned bodice jumper by the man himself. But, I love the fact that it’s so striking, plus it’s guaranteed to turn heads! £205 available at My-Wardrobe.com

So, am I one of the few that hasn’t fallen head over heels in love with Stella McCartney’s collection for Net-a-Porter? And no, I’m not a fan of the cloud print pieces either. But….of course, being a bag lover there is one item from the collection that is truly worth shouting about – this fab champagne, jewel embellished clutch. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, especially with a jumpsuit and scandalous heels! $995 available at Net-a-Porter.com

I call it the Matthew Williamson effect. After seeing all the bright colours from his H&M collection I find myself lusting after “tropical brights” more than ever. Lipsy have a gorgeous range of cocktail dresses with beautiful prints including this gorgeous strapless corset tulip dress….which I personally couldn’t resist. This dress is ideal for an evening of drinks and dancing or even for that all important first date. £60 available at Lipsy.

Whether you’re hiding from hangover shame or shielding your eyes from the sun, there’s nothing like a great pair of sunglasses to get you through summer. We admit we love our fair share of Ray-Bans and Oliver Peoples, however dVb is slowly growing on us. We’re lusting after these oversized grape coloured shades for summer. Bold and bright! £165 available at my-wardrobe.com
