THE most exciting fashion collaboration

This is our first look at the much anticipated collaboration between H&M and Lanvin. Come November 23rd fashionistas will be queuing in their thousands to get their hands on these limited edition pieces. Staying true to Alber Elbaz's vision for Lanvin, so far it looks like the collection will feature his signature asymmetric sleeve and simple colour palette. I've got my eye on the tuxedo style dress second from the right.

Knits, Fur and Leather

Fairisle knit - £13 - Primark, tan belt - £28 - Whistles, leopard print bag - £40 - Topshop, leather panel leggings - £14.99 - H&M, fur-lined Reagan boots - £125 - Bertie

I've finally worked out how to use the timer on my camera and doesn't it make a difference?! I'm so pleased. It took a while to figure out the where to balance the camera (on the breakfast bar stool against a bottle of water), I still chopped my feet off a few times and I'd like to get rid of the kitchen tiles on the right hand side, but overall I think it is much improved from the iPhone in the bedroom mirror shots I was using before.

Outfit-wise I told you I'd be repeating variations of the Christmas knit over the coming weeks and months, and here's my second interpretation with added belt and leather. This Primark Fairisle knit was such a bargain, I think I will be stocking up on other colours and multiples too as I'm sure it will lose it's shape quite quickly, but for £13 you can't complain!

Christmas Knits

Knitted snowflake dress - £45 - Topshop, jeans - £40 - Topshop, leather jacket - £250 - Whistles, leopard print bag - £40 - Topshop, wedge boots - £160 - Kurt Geiger

Fairisle jumper - Dolce & Gabbana

Well after a short hiatus, I am back to blogging and feeling inspired. I've already stumbled across my go-to look for lazy days this winter: enter the fairisle Christmas knit, teamed with skinny jeans or leather trousers, ankle boots and a chunky snood once the weather gets colder. Dolce & Gabbana showcased this cosy look to perfection, teamed with fur and cinched with a belt, but the high street has some great offerings too. My Topshop knitted snowflake dress is a dead-ringer for D&G, and I picked up an even cheaper delight in Primark today which is identical to the monochrome number in the final picture. This is such an easy look to pull off, and will suit all figures and budgets - I can't wait to experiment with more variations (especially once I finally get my hands on some leather trousers; the perfect pair still eludes me).

Most Wanted

Dress - £65 - Topshop

Sorry, I've been a very bad blogger this week with my measley two posts. Things aren't going to improve either as I'm holidaying as of tomorrow. I'll get back on the case upon my return - I promise. In the mean time, here is a beautiful dress that I wish I could get my hands on for my hols, but it only came online today and it wouldn't get delivered in time, but here it is for your delectation. I wish there was a better Topshop in Brighton, it's pathetically small here and they never stock the good stuff hence my online obession.

Allaismalardık (that's Turkish for goodbye).

Shorts Appeal

T-shirt - £15 - Topshop, leather shorts - £68 - Topshop, watch - Casio - £22, sandals - old - New Look

These photos make me realise how much I need to buy myself a decent camera, but then I can't afford to buy new clothes and I'd have nothing to blog about! Vicious cycle.

I've been eyeing up these leather shorts for a while, but they kept selling out and I couldn't quite commit to the price tag. However yesterday I discovered an unworn shirt and jumper from Topshop in the back of my wardrobe - I bought them in London some time ago and just couldn't quite get them to look right on me. Receiptless, but exchangable - these shorts felt effectively free, and were just enough to satisfy my impossible last week of the month shopping craving. I'm not 100% on the flattery of them on the slightly more shapely thigh - but I'm thinking with black opaques I can just about pull them off.

Ode to Marc

Babooshka metallic sweater - £130 - Whistles, maxi skirt - £79.99 - Reiss, military boots - £59.99 - River Island

Here is my little ode to Marc Jacobs AW10 - shimmering metallics, military boots and maxis. I felt a bit too dressed up for Tesco though, so I changed into jeans shortly after taking the pictures, but this outift is definitely stored in my outfit bank for future wearing.

Jourdan Dunn spends her Burberry fee in Whistles!

I was working up in the Kings Road Whistles yesterday and who should stride in, all long and lithe limbs and no baby weight to be seen, but Jourdan Dunn! She must have had a few hours off in the morning before she walked for Burberry SS11 in the afternoon, and chose to spend it in Whistles.

She purchased the hexagon draped jumpsuit (£195), the cut out back strap maxi (£120), the ivory Amy blouse (£95) and the Esther skater skirt (£125).

As for the Burberry show it was by far my favourite of Fashion Weeks so far. I'm already over the aviator - give me studded bikers and trench coats cinched with neon belts and accentuated with bright clutches any day. Apparently there was an issue with ill-fitting shoes resulting in poor old Nina Porter taking a rather dramatic tumble at the very end of the show (I wondered why her walk looked so awkward), but Jourdan looked cool, calm, composed and beautiful throughout.
