SHOE TREND: Corky, Clumpy and Cloggy went to market...




There’s a new set of shoes on the street this season ladies. It’s time to forget about the death-defying heels you’ve been use to breaking leg and limb in as a new wave of pragmatism sets in...
Everyone from Chanel to Celine and Stella McCartney was seen introducing a touch of sense and sensibility in to their S/S 2010 collections with flower accent clogs, 70’s inspired wedgies and clumpy platforms.
Embrace this trend head on. Why? Well, not only does a sturdy platform offer comfortable height factor (no more teetering on tip-toes, it’s all equally balanced weight in the world of clump); stiletto peep-toes in winter are SO not cool, while open-toe wedges look seriously stylish worn with chunky socks and knitted tights; spine-crippling six inchers can look garishly glam while a clumpy clog is boho/garden-fairy friendly.
You get the idea? It’s the old cliché of less is more only there’s nothing less just a hell of alot more....
Trot to the high street now where Topshop have been quick to pick up on this trend with their Lottie clog (middle), Nine West have some colourful cork peep-toes on offer (bottom) at Kurt Geiger while Jimmy Choo's Urban clog sandal (top) at net-a-porter.com is perfect for those city clompers.

Girl Crush


This fashion month Missfashion has been crushing all over Natalia Vodianova. On and off the catwalk this blue-eyed, baby haired beauty injects a sense of elegance and girlie charm into all her enviable ensembles.

Natalia worked black sheer panelling at Christopher Kane, embraced cocktail hour at Valentino, looked super chic in a skin clinching LBD at Chanel, was girlie glam in black yoke ruffles at Louis Vuitton and edgy in slashed leggings for dinner at The Ritz.

Stella McCartney cherry picked Vodianova to open, own and close her upbeat S/S 2010 show. Like Stella, Natalia is a busy mother of three young children who needs uncomplicated clothes that still scream – I’m young, chic and sexy! First up Natalia was yummy in a silvery jacket that came with a graceful ruffle down one lapel paired with relaxed silk pants. Next, Natalia was mummy in a denim pinafore dress complete with easy-button front. And the grand finale? Swinging swirls on pretty pleated print dresses. Sassy, sweet and highly successful – Natalia you got it going on sister.

Missfashion lunches with Kate Moss.


One of the many joys of living in Primrose Hill is Sunday celeb spotting. Primmy Hill is a hub full of the rich, the famous and the super stylish. If the Geldof girls aren’t frolicking on the Hill working the latest punky trends, Henry Holland is sure to be parading his pup along Regents Park Road or Matthew Williamson can be seen lunching in Lemonia. It’s a fashionable feast of fabulousness.

So, as I sat down to a chicken roast with friends in the Lansdowne boozer I subtly scanned the room for potential fashion talent. Hmmm, there was a few Anya Hindmarch totes, lots of cosy Gap cardis, Chanel sunnies and Breton stripes but alas, no celebs to stalk. However, as my friend began to violently choke I realised that this was not due to a trickster chicken bone – no, the one and the only Miss Kate Moss was stood right next to our table! Argh!

Now, it’s not the first time I’ve spotted Moss; I was sent into a state of envy only last week as she sat Font Row at Topshop Unique crossing the sexiest legs I’ve ever laid eyes upon. The novelty has not worn off.

Looking positively radiant (the detox has worked wonders) Kate nailed Sunday style with panache. With a near makeup free face, signature hair scrape and waifish figure Kate was every inch model off duty. Her skinny jeans, knee-high boot, multi-coloured knit and fringed satchel combo looked effortlessly glamorous with a bohemian twist.

I’m afraid I can’t tell you what Kate ate (she sat in a private room upstairs with a clang of coolies) but I can tell you this: a statement bag, a classic boot and colour popping piece of knit wear are all you need to transcend into autumn with stylish precision.
