Shear Gear

Shearling: it's everywhere. It dominated the catwalk at Burberry Prorsum and made appearances at Kurt Geiger, Topshop Unique and more. What better way to stay warm this winter? These beautifully made jackets, coats, shoes and gloves will have you wishing it was colder just to wrap up in one of them. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear one of this season's biggest trends.

Getting it Right.

I don't know about you, but it seems like every celebrity in sight is hailed in numerous magazines and blogs as having "great personal style". Some of them have stylists, some of them are just trying to seek attention and some of them have genuine style. So how do we tell the difference between the Alexa's and the Gaga's? The next few people get it right everytime, and their outfits haven't been personally selected by Rachel Zoe or a boardroom of executives. They have genuine style.

London Calling
Alexa Chung always looks good. Always. It's almost annoying, except we like her too much for it to be. She has quintessential English style, and her tomboyish denim shorts and dungarees have become a major trend.

Nothing comes close to the Golden Coast
LC's laid back day clothes exude Californian chill, and she always looks good on a night out with a bodycon skirt and Chanel bag in hand. With her long locks and big sunglasses, this is the  Californian girl.

Role Models

Sasha Pivovarova adventurously plays with textures, colours and accessories to give us the perfect balance of fun and sophistication. Se always has at least one exciting and unusual element in her outfits, crazy patterned jeans, flowers in her hair, frilly jackets; you name it, she's got it.

Kool and Kollected

Karlie Kloss. She's an All-American-girl-next-door-supermodel-chemistry-taking teenager all rolled into one. She may be only seventeen, but her outfits are certainly beyond her time. Karlie is a chameleon, she can look girly, edgy, cute, sophisticated and more.
