The Colour Purple: regal, luxurious, jewel toned, and this season’s hottest hue.  Prince must be partying like it’s 1999! Purple is everywhere this winter, predominantly on the red carpet as celebrities have swapped their LBD for a little purple dress. Worn with black and gold accessories, it’s the perfect option for a Christmas party and widely available on the high street.

ralphlauren_021008When the weather gets slightly warm and the sun begins to poke its head beyond those cumulus clouds, certain trends begin to shuttle in and out of your wardrobe, with the luckier garments finding their coveted spot in the dominion of the prior season. The tribal/safari look is one that definitely has top billing every spring.

Until recently, I’d always associated mac’s with flashers and grannies.  Why? I’m not entirely sure.  Stereotypes aside, I’ve never actually been flashed, and my grandmother is unusually stylish for her age. My preconceived mac-shaped notions were finally quashed on a trip last week to a local charity shop, where I found and fell in love with my very own mac.

We all listened when we heard Nancy Sinatra proclaim that ’these boots are made for walking’, but that does not mean to say that we are going to be wearing any walking boots. No Sir, not if Gucci have anything to do with it.

The A/Wo8 footwear collection at Gucci is a 4.1” heeled, boot heaven and this year they have undoubtedly led the high street with their statement style, yet wearable designs.

The nights are drawing in and the days are getting colder, yes ladies it’s time to start pulling your winter wardrobe forward from the recesses of the cupboard. Personally I’ve always been a winter person, and my wardrobe certainly reflects this, in fact I often find myself counting down the weeks until I can pull out my Dior duffle coat, Burberry earmuffs and Louboutin knee high-boots again (it’s not long now - hooray!).

I practice under the ‘the bigger, the better’ accessory philosophy. If it isn’t adding at least six pounds, I just don’t want to know. Especially when it comes to necklaces. But I have to admit, it’s starting to become a health hazard. Not just for me, but the poor person standing next to me when I excitedly swing myself – necklace following suit – to talk to them.

So imagine my surprise as I was pouring over the a/w catwalks to see the return of the bow tie? It doesn’t sound as chic as an art deco-inspired chain, but it still packs a whimsical, fairytale punch!

Britannia fashion is something that is appearing more and more this season, and Alexander McQueen is, as usual, one of the main contributors! After the skull and butterfly craze, another iconic scarf would have perhaps been too much to ask for - but McQueen never fails to tantalise our “taste”buds.
