Doctor, Doctor...

I got a bad case of loving you...

Yep it's the bag style of the season and whilst they look super chic on the catwalk my only concern on catching a ride on the 'doctor tote wagon' was how to incorporate it into my style.  So here's an idea on what I'd wear, a kind of transeasonal look too with all this weird weather and I love the crop down boots with the silver embellishment, a definite item on this week's wish list!

1. Grey Jumper Kain £305 Net-a-Porter

2. Black leather Bag Zara £89.99 Zara

3. Rust Jacket Chalayan £1060 Net-a-Porter

4.Silver Necklace Hannah Martin £330 Hannah Martin

5. Black leather boots Jeffrey Campbell £105 Office

6. Cut off denim shorts Ksubi £135.50 Ksubi

Say hello to the new man in my life! He's hot, he's quiet and he'll go with you to the sales without even trying to make excuses!  This is the latest addition to my wardrobe courtesy of my good friend Liz who owns, designs and creates bags for Miller and Jeeves.  I actually watched her make this on the way up to Edinburgh last weekend, which is why I think I'm so in love with it.  Seeing the work that goes into the manufacturing of something really makes you appreciate it's value and the skill of the creator. I love the shine of the feathers that lifts the bag and makes you want to look at it again and again (or maybe that's just me!)

A little Monday afternoon pick me up and dream wish list on this miserable day! I'm working on Net-a-Porter's trend presentation for F/W at the moment and am loving the Futuristic trend seen at Proenza, Wang and Hakaan.  The above is my little twist on the trend.  By adding the A-mazing cowboy boots from Isabel Marant's new collection the outfit is less 'Beam me up Scotty' and more urban and wearable - I'm not about to go out in a mirrored visor or crystal embellished eyebrows a la Chanel!  To keep it cool and laid back go for metallics with the crinkle effect leather like this Acne clutch, then the look doesn't become too shiny and new but more relaxed and edgy (just a little tip!)

When I was little I absolutely loved Calamity Jane. I think I identified with her because of her, well...calamities!  (I was, and still am, a tad bit clumsy!)  And even now I find her an appealing character, not because of her rootin tootin storylines but due unwittingly to her fashion sense!  And it seems I'm not alone,  A/W shows brought with them the come back of the Wild West in the form of Miss Marant's tassles, prairie shirts and new take on the cowboy boot. So above for your viewing pleasure is how I've interpreted the micro trend for the modern day Calamity Jane.

 Look to your horses - we ride at dawn!

In Black and White

Those of you who follow me on twitter (@coverred1) will know that yesterday I purchased these fab white jeans- a little late maybe but I've only really felt inspired to buy them now that the sun has shown itself.  So I thought I'd treat you to some monochrome musings, with the focus on the white jeans.  As a major trend that's gonna stick around through into Winter black and white is the new Black!
