Vintage Suede Jacket ∨

^ Debs: “The 70′s suede jacket is my latest Ebay purchase. I’m really into suede and cant wait to work it into my wardrobe. The grey jumper top is actually a cardigan back to front, a great way to get more out of you wardrobe and get the new sweater jumper look”.

Stripe Jacket ∨

^ Debs: “Another daytimer outfit. My black and white striped jacket is my one of my favourites. It goes with lots of stuff and a subtle statement piece. I am a sucker for stripes but this is rather elegant as it’s made from a silk chiffon type fabric. I’m into white denims a lot again and they are a bit more stylish than normal jeans. The gold converse have that extra edge to the normal converse”.

Blue Cords ∨

^ Debs: “Most of my outfits are daytime weekend styles as I am a mother now – not much freedom for partying anymore! Now that spring is here I like to wear brighter colours and mixed with trench is classic and stylish addition and suits absolutely everything. I love the bright blue of the cords with softer warmer colours just to tone them down a notch”.

Chunky Jumper ∨

^ Debs: “I’m really into my jumpers at the moment. I like the laid back simpleness to them and of course they are warm and cosy. This is a great outfit for Saturday night in the pub. I love my All Saints boots with the denim mini skirt – this look looks really great in the summer with tanned bare legs. I am wearing a necklace I made to hang a ring on that someone close to me gave me. This is a great way to wear rings that you like but don’t really suit your style”.

Katrina This outfit just makes me feel so happy, like a tap dancing sailor!

Katrina This dress has been in my wardrobe for six months and hasn’t ever been worn out for a number of reasons, generally my friends fear of the dead fox and yellow being a terrible colour on me. However this is still of of my favourite pieces and I get so much joy from just seeing the little fox peeking out from the rail from time to time.

Katrina This top, I always wear as a dress over black opaque tights and its probably the best two quid I have ever spent. The puff ball jacket makes me feel like a Mr Whippy and the shoes are the most gorgeous stack-heel loafers from clarks.

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.

Oleg: I love mixing clothes and styles, definitely a big fan of eclecticism. Formal with a hint of casual. Casual with a dash of formal. A big tie lover. This silk one is my latest addition and it’s a favourite. I also love the mix of textures and checked and diamond patterns. To some people they are clashing. Works for me though.

Oleg: No, I don’t wear kilt everyday. Shame though. I really think men look great in it. Scrap that, they look hot! And that cheesy Guns’n'Roses T… That’s my tribute, if ‘you were born in 80′s’, you’ll understand. I used to be in a band, so rock’n'roll is in my soul.

Oleg: These are my second pair of shoes from Energie, and they are just great. Light, durable and conformable – my everyday choice. I’ve had this jacket for a few years now and I still can’t get enough of it. It goes well with skinny trousers and I can wear it throughout all the seasons. Superman belt, oh that’s pure fun. Often people think too much of themselves, and their clothes. As one girl told me ‘Every time I see this belt on you, it cracks me up’

And what do we have here?

The shirts…we found a whole bunch, Oleg style.

1. Black monotone light flannel check shirt £19.99 – Uniqlo 2. Green flannel light vintage shirt £19.99 – Uniqlo 3. Purple flannel light vintage shirt £19.99 – Uniqlo 4. Navy classic light flannel check shirt £19.99 – Uniqlo

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.

BAG

Claire: So, basically its all about the bag! This is my favourite thing that I own, it looks like a punk Chanel, its awesome. Its too ostentatious to wear with much though, but definitely livens up a dull outfit. Sylvie’s shoes are so cute, she can’t even walk yet and she has better trainers than I do!

PLAYSUIT

Claire: This playsuit is one of the most versatile things that I own, its from Kate Moss’s first collection for Topshop so its a few years old now and I still love it. Its great in the summer with bare legs and sandals, or in the winter with big boots and thick tights – or for a night out with heels. You get the picture! I wear these boots almost every day, they are a bit more feminine than most of the worker boots around- more like old style hobnail school boots like they wore in the original St Trinians films. Ive just realised there is a bit of a schoolgirl theme going on in my wardrobe- worrying perhaps? Sylvie looks adorable in her bear suit- I love the little paws on the feet! People stop us in the street and coo over her whenever she wears it.

What we found

1. Vila Faux Fur Jacket £50 £35 from oli.co.uk 2. Dior – Quilted chain tote bag £1,289 from farfetch.com 3. Lipsy Galaxy Print Playsuit £48 £33 from oli.co.uk

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.

PS: My friends dog, Hopkins, is the best but please be aware he is not a fashion accessory and also not just for Christmas!!

My trusted skirt which is another staple of my wardrobe as everything goes with it. This is the perfect shopping outfit as I can try on anything really easily!! The boots are perfect in harsh weather and so comfortable I can walk or shop for hours. I love a bit of animal print too and although it’s usually in shoes, I couldn’t resist when I saw this scarf.

My ‘I don’t know what to wear’ outfit which converts from office to going out easily and I feel really comfortable, even though I wear 6inch heels with it.

I’ve always adored her style and the way she effortlessly pulls off all of her outfits so I just had to ask her to be my next wardrobe feature. Here is the lovely Anna and looks from her wardrobe.

WAISTCOAT

Anna: I love this outfit because it makes me feel so ¨Spanish¨. I wear it all the time in summer nights near the beach or in the city, is so easy to combine as it can be worn with flat gladiators during the day or with wedges at night. I just feel so me in it!

WAISTCOAT

I love this fake fur waistcoat my mum got me in Barcelona as a present! And I’m wearing it now all the time as is so warm! I love it with jeans, skirts, dresses, but I never wear it with heels, otherwise I feel I’m dressed to kill! I like to dress it down an wear it more with a ¨hippy, cosy¨style.

DRESS

When I tried this dress for the first time at Zara, I felt like a little fairy, but I thought I will make my outfit a bit more punchier if I would combine it with some rocky accessories. I always wear it with my leather jacket and flat boots.

SEQUIN TOP

I got this little sequin jacket at topshop and I wear it more than I thought I would do! I just love it with jeans and just a Black T–shirt underneath, so this way I can either go to work and then go out on a Friday night without feeling out of place..

To see what we’ve found, taking key items from Anna’s wardrobe, take a look at these. The big faux fur gilet, the detailed waistcoat, the flowing dress and the statement glitter cardi/jacket.

1. Big Foot Gilet £55: French Connection 2. Velvet embellished waistcoat £145: Day Birger et Mikkelsen at my-wardrobe.com 3. Sequin jacket £418.82: Matthew Williamson at mytheresa.com 4. Bubble dress £135 at Coast

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…

What we found

1. Skirt £70: Zola skirt from French Connection 2. Boots £160: Salvador from Kurt Geiger 3. Metal cuff £264: Marie Seguy at farfetch.com

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.

What we found

1. Dress £363: Antik Batik from farfetch.com 2. Jacket £519: Preen from fatfetch.com 3. Shoes £140: Ethel by KG at Kurt Geiger

SHOES

“These are my favourite shoes ever. They were a random find in Next of all places. I got them about 4 years ago, but they’re timelessly stylish and cool.  They go with everything and are stupidly comfortable. I can wear these all night and still skip all the way home. Plus they’re not super high like some of my other shoes – I’m pretty tall, so I can look scary in platforms!”

What we found

1. Lace top £75: Coast Stores 2. Harem pants £146: MCQ by Alexander McQueen at farfetch.com 3. Ankle boots £280: Amp at Kurt Geiger

VELVET CARDI

“I have a big obsession with velvet.  My mum wore a lot of velvet in the 90s, so I’ve stolen some of her goodies.  Velvet is such a gorgeous luxurious fabric.  It just adds something special to any outfit.  This is a cardi/jacket I recently found in a charity shop.  It sadly doesn’t photograph very well, but trust me – it’s glorious!  It has beading around the cuffs and seams.  Super lux baby!”

What we found

1. Military velvet jacket £198: Jigsaw 2. Leather drawstring skirt £425: Rick Owen at farfetch.com 3. Leather wrap skirt £559: Peachoo and Krejberg at farfetch.com 4. Studded heels £140: Katie-Jane KG at Kurt Geiger

PAT BUTCHER

“Now this cardi is a wonderful example of something being SO bad, that it HAS to be good. You have to wear it carefully, black tights and a black mini skirt is ideal – I’m not really into the ‘clashing prints’ vibe that’s popular at the moment. It’s another charity shop find – glorious to snuggle in, and I personally love rocking a bit of the Pat Butcher vibe.”

What we found

1. Flash Knit dress £90: French Connection 2. Shoe boots £90: Carvela Alicante at Kurt Geiger

SHIRT

“This shirt has lasted forever. I wear a lot of big baggy men’s shirts as dresses, or I’ll pair them with leggings. This is my favourite. It’s Ralph Lauren (and only a quid from ebay!), so it’s really good quality. It also looks cool worn open with a body-con dress, lot’s of gold jewellery and 80 Deniers.”

What we found

1. Men’s loud check shirt £55: Curlew at Boxfresh 2. Men’s military shirt: £60: Crossbill at Boxfresh 3. Velvet trim tux jacket £489: Jasmine Di Milo at my-wardrobe.com 4. Shoes £75: Layla at Faith

Good quality tights are really important for outfits like this so take a look at mytights.com for lots of different styles, including new in from Henry Holland.
