Style 3: The Wedge

The good old trusted wedge, it’s come in and out and will never disappear as far as I’m concerned. Some might remember I’ve stocked up in last seasons sale and my lovely Nicole Fahri wedges have already come to good use.

I love wedges, so comfy, stylish yet so easy to walk in, none of this wobbling about on a small heel. Having recently moved to Switzerland where every second street seems cobbled, they will be the choice of heel for me this season. Although careful, as they can be heavy and depending on the strap they could get very uncomfortable as they hang off your ankle. But these little things should not hold you back and if you’ve not got already one in your collection, make sure you get one!!

Here are some of my favourites under £150 (it was so hard again as Miu Miu, Christian Dior and all the great designers have created some master pieces):

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania @ Asos £120

Purple & angel wings, how much better can it get?

Oleg used to work with the girls and I at our old design agency. A bit of a ladies man, he charmed his way through us ladies and managed to win our hearts along the way. Never one to shy away from experimentation, Oleg’s style is definitely his own…now check out his favourite outfits…

Oleg: I saw these trousers on a guy at a bus stop and loved them immediately. Actually I loved them so much, I asked him where he got them from, and I generally don’t talk to strangers. The belt was a present from my girlfriend, and that’s the finest leather I ever had in my life. For the last year or so I’ve been having an affair with checked shirts, and I always buy them from one place – Esprit, they just feel right there. Great for casual wearing or work.

HOT MAMA!!! Claire used to work over at Pod1 with Nat, Tracey and I and we had to have her and her gorgeous little girl Sylvie on our wardrobe feature. How Claire manages to look so polished with a baby in tow is a mystery to us (we reckon it’s just bloody good genes) but this gives me some hope that one day I might be able to pull off looking this hot with a gorgeous snotty baby on my arm too…well, here’s hoping hey?!

JACKET

Claire: This dress I got for a fiver from Ebay, the label is in Japanese so I have no idea of the make, but I love it because its like a proper Japanese schoolgirl dress, very naughty, and a bit too short! The jacket is real fur, apparently its made of muscat – I have no idea what that is but they make very warm snuggly coats! I get why people don’t approve of fur, but personally I don’t see the difference between that and eating meat, neither are essential and its up to the individual.

Or what’s in your suitcase as I’ve been in Hamburg the last 2 weeks and due to the bloody weight restriction, I was only allowed to travel with 15kg. 15kg for 4 weeks?!?! On top of that I was told, pack for rain, snow, laid back and lots of walking… mh that sounded to me like 4 different wardrobes. So after going though mine several times I packed things to mix and match and having now spend over 2 weeks interchanging I feel I go the balance right. There is a lot of blue in there though….

This is my favourite dress, it’s vintage from the 50ties and I found it on eBay for a fiver. It can be dressed up or down depending on shoes and/or cardigan. My Marc Jacobs boots (I salivated over them for months on end but patiently waited for the big Sale and got lucky!! I love them so so much!!) and my lovely Clements bag (Secret Diary of a Handbag Designer) complete the look. This outfit makes me feel happy no matter what mood I was in before and will come with me wherever I go.

You might remember a while back I did a piece about Mo Kiddo and his paintings, plus an exclusive interview. This time, we’re peaking into his wardrobe in this week’s feature. Mo is actually my cousin…the flamboyant and quirky one in the family that everyone loves.

From Lanvin to Versace, Mo loves his designer brands and these designers must love him…I mean look at the size of that f*****g wardrobe!

He’s in Belgium, so I asked him to send me pictures of his favourite outfits to put in this feature…As usual, Mo is in LaLa land when I’m talking to him, and he decides to send me his own style shots…he’s too far, but if you can, check out Mo’s top 3 outfits!

JUMPER

SCARF

Answer: Lot’s of things with studs!

Recently I’ve been giving my credit card a bit of a bashing with all the beautiful crap I’ve been buying. I thought I’d share my top buy with you…my stud jacket.

JACKET

So it’s no secret that I like studs, on everything, belts, shoes, dresses and to complete my collection, this jacket caught my wandering eye. Studs make such a statement and this jacket almost forces me to exhude confidence. Shifting from military and into warrior is the way I’m heading into 2010…

I met Olli one bizarre work-drinks Friday (she’s an ex-colleagues girlfriend) and couldn’t help but perv on her amazing style for the whole night. Luckily she didn’t get too freaked and agreed to help me kick start our new feature that looks inside the wardrobes of non-famous but super trendy people. We know, sounds amazing…and it is, so here is Olli Leivers rocking five different outfits:

SEQUIN DRESS

Olli says: “I love this dress. I think the high street has become a little TOO inundated with sequins recently. They can be a little lairy/tacky at times. I personally love them when they’re used subtly like this. I feel all aquatic and magical in it. Although, I’ll usually dirty up a look that’s too girly – hence the jacket and whopping great big platforms.”

If you like the style and after something slightly different, then check out our suggestions throughout this piece.
