The blessings of pregnancy are many but sadly not for the otherwise celebrated waistline. So, when it dawned on me that my favourite jeans became unsuitable, I embraced this new bodily expansion with a mission to find something more comfortable yet stylish.

Alpine yet urban, ski sweaters go from the slopes to the streets for this Autumn/Winter season. The collections sees heritage codes reimagined for the modern wardrobe. Perfect timing, as snow started coming down, turning some parts of the U.K. into those picture perfect Christmas cards.

No outfit has more radiance than that from an immaculate pinstriped suit. Making anyone from Al Pacino in the Godfather to Leonardo DiCaprio in Wolf of Wallstreet, look not only effortless chic but also extremely powerful. Having craved some more office authority lately, I found myself drawn towards these sartorial lines. 

Nothing beats the uncertain inevitable high expectations of a wedding guest. You never know what to expect. Will there be enough food and even more importantly enough alcohol? Whatever the situation, the wedding guest is expected to be immaculate. Well presented, mannerly, seated automatically in the back of the church - always standing up for those late-comer elder aunties. Never too drunk and always on the dance-floor, whilst never outshining the main couple. The big question is, how do you dress for this heroic performance?

Never have I got so many inquiries about my outfit; except that one morning, I woke up at my then boyfriend's place, realizing in distress that I had forgotten to bring a new outfit for work. Solution? Borrowing one of his white shirts. Result? Some kind of frenzie of intrigued colleagues asking where this immaculate shirt was from.

Lately, I have noticed a frenzy in the puffiness of skirts. Maybe we are to blame Bally’s creative director Simone Bellotti, for puffy-ing skirts down the catwalk or Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière, who’s voluminous skirts keep on floating down the streets and my social feeds.

Growing up, my dad stubbornly defended his choice of wearing THOSE boat shoes, whilst I opposed the idea, stating we were indeed very far away from sea. So it astounded me the other day, finding myself buying a pair of these maritime themed shoes, in a city, far away from the ocean.

With summer around the corner and for those living in London, it seems at last the sun has found its way down to us, a blazing long overdue. This exciting moment of sunbeam proposes an urgent need for shades, disclosing an intricate social positioning.

There it was, the statement I had been looking for, simply, truthfully and audaciously shouted by my friend, (who wishes to remain anonymous) the f*** silver trousers mania. Call it futuristic influence, and yes I'm blaming you silicon valley, by bringing sci fi back in fashion, but here it is and maybe it is here to stay?

As a kid, my parents adored outdoor life, which I enjoyed (and think is a great childhood) except for one crucial part: the practical outfits. Shoes that are made for walking and mud, coats that are made for wind and rain, trousers that are made for walking but not at all enhance any of your figure and it baffles me until this day; Why have so few brands found a balance between beauty and practicality?

It takes vigor and a great dry cleaner to embrace a white suit, however the never-ending stylish statement is somehow worth the risk.

I have never felt such a heated topic when asking about people's Valentine Plans, some throw the ‘commercialism is taking’ over in your face, others stare far away in a quiet, depressing mood whilst others laugh at you whilst planning a huge party to fight this day made for love.

With festivities around the corner, my hunt for a dazzling Christmas dress kicks off. Come December, who can resist a rich textured velvety red or the joy of the sparkle of glitter?

It’s that time of year again, when your faithful autumn coat sadly no longer is sufficient to keep you warm in the apricity. It's time to change style for comfort; also known as the puffer coat. Even though British Vogue states that the puffer radiates a “I’d-rather-be-in-bed” attitude, that apparently is cool for some, for me sadly this highly practical coat is just one thing; ugly.

When British Vogue announced that The Princess Of Wales Had Retired Her Midi-Dresses In Favour Of A New Look, constructed of very chic suits, it launched me on a hunt for that ultimate autumn suited suit.

That time again, for Winter Boots, the grey clouds have after a long battle with the Indian Summer overthrown London. The leaves cover the grounds in Hyde Park, in vibrant colours reminiscent of those summer days when the ground was green and far from wet. The air is crisp, but cold, time to finally dig into the winter wardrobe, and indulge into your waders.

And there it is…That touch of cold breeze greeting you in the morning, the sun still warming you during the day but reflecting on the leaves that are slowly turning into bold colours, undoubtedly; it’s autumn again. Time for shoes, but imperishable question: what shoes?

The other day, whilst I was walking into our Vogue offices, my colleague commented on how ‘workplace chic’ I looked. Surprised in my floaty-floral patterned summer dress and black leather combat boots, I looked into the mirror, and realised that actually, any outfit paired with a black blazer radiates a true power statement.

Enrolling a Fashion Journalism course at Central Saint Martins College of Art, my first assignment was to study a John Galliano fashion show. I had so much fun exploring this, even though it is not the most conscious show - hope you enjoy reading it as much as I was amused writing it.

Jeans are a base garment in many wardrobes but, unfortunately, they come with a high environmental footprint. The denim is made from cotton that requires an enormous amount of water to grow and uses hazardous chemicals for the colour dying process. So how can we find jeans that not only fits us perfectly but the environment too?
