So I haven’t been into shoe confessional for a while. This isn’t because I have been cured of my ailment towards the wonder that is shoes…you know how the song goes “They tried to make me go to rehab but I said NO! NO! NO!” Being back living in Dubai full-time, I spend most nights in heels and the one pair of heels I am desperately coveting at the moment are the Christian Louboutin Daffodile Crystal-Embellished pumps!

Wouldn’t it just be a dream to work for NET-A-PORTER? Surrounded by the best fashion, shoes and accessories on a daily basis – swooooon! Buying director at NET-A-PORTER, Holli Rogers, has pick her winter wishlist from all the best the site has to offer.

The Gril 120 Patent Leather Sandals to give them their correct name, feature a 5 inch heel and half-inch partially concealed platform. They are the perfect transition shoe – wear them to work paired with a silk blouse and tailored trousers and then transform them for a night look with a hot dress and you’re ready to paint the town red, like your soles!

I’ll admit that this Ramadan I’ve spent a lot of time in front of my laptop online shopping and adding many items to my ‘wish list’ from my favourite online retailer, Net-A-Porter and one thing I look forward to every week is their online magazine. This weeks’ edition is inspired by the marriage between fashion and music – my two passions. From Dolce & Gabbana to Cavalli, these looks scream high-fashion, yet make you want to dance at the same time.
So embrace your inner rock star in brocade, velvet, lace, prints and a sprinkling of sequins and head to the nearest club to party your ass off (after Ramadan of course!)
Well hello there sunshine! Nothing screams summer quite as brightly as the colour yellow. And what with colour blocking one of this season’s main trends, stars have been pouring themselves into brighter and more fun colours than ever before, and yellow is definitely the most bright and adventurous. From Emanuelle Chriqui’s super sexy yellow mini-dress, to Naomi Campbell’s canary-esque feathered Versace dress, celebs have gone crazy for this zesty, tangy colour, setting the red carpet alight with their attention grabbing choice.

Yellow is such a happy colour. I defy you to have a ‘blue’ day wearing this colour!
I’m the kind of girl who will rock sequins during the day. I am such a magpie! I love bling and sequins are one of my favourite way in indulging in a little sparkle.
Dripping with gunmetal sequins, Dolce & Gabbana’s leather tote is a characteristically high-shine spin on an essential accessory. The tote which comes in a boxy, rectangular shape, is similar to the house’s quintessential Miss Sicily bag. However, the smaller shape and shoulder strap option lighten the mood. Chunky hardware and black leather also serve to juxtapose the high-shine finish of gunmetal glitz.
Who said sequins have to just be rocked at night? Pair the bag with some high-powered tailoring to stamp your outfit with a cool hit of glamour.

Claudia Schiffer’s cashmere line is something I can totally imagine spending the winter months living in. The collection which has been developed in a joint venture partnership with family-owned luxury German cashmere company Iris von Arnim and Claudia as Creative Director, wholly encapsulates Claudia’s aesthetic signature style. It embodies an effortlessly chic range of great silhouettes in a series of pieces that comprise every element of knitwear that a woman would want to wear each day. Using Iris von Arnim’s heritage and experience to produce, manufacture and distribute the collection, it is ensured each piece is created using the highest quality yarn and techniques.
Claudia Schiffer teams up with Camilla Akrans for a Hitchcock-esque lookbook photographed for the cashmere line. Sporting the autumn range full of prints and lush knits, Claudia is full of mystery and intrigue in the shoot’s woodsy setting.
