Jo Lance does Military

I spotted award winning fashion photographer and Top Model judge Joe Lance at NewYork fashion week. Jo is famous for pushing creative boundaries and bringing concepts to life.

Here are a few military style coats from Rockit vintage and PHIX clothing who sell a range of musically inspired designs.

Christmas Sparkle

First and foremost Merry Christmas. My inspiration today has come from all the lovely jewellery I have just opened from one of my closest friends. I love jewellery that has a bit of edge.

One of my favourite designers is Pamela Love. Pamela who grew up in New York, loves to experiment with unique and exotic materials and her designs are influenced by a number of artists including Joseph Cornell and Lee Bontecou. Pamela now designs for Topshop making her collection more affordable and it can also be bought online at net-a-porter.

Let's talk about hats

If you are feeling a little avant-garde over the christmas holiday, why not invest in one of this season's must have accessories and stand out from the crowd.

A good hat can completely change the look of any outfit. Here are a few images I captured, of a few lovely ladies rocking the hat with style. 

Recreate the look with this wide brim hat £49 from Reiss. Available in both black and toffee

What a year

With new year fast approaching I thought this would be a good time to have look back at the events of 2011. New York Fashion week was a definite highlight for me. Over the festive period I'm going to be posting on New York style. This years show was held at the Lincoln centre for the performing arts. With a fresh new venue (previously held at Bryant Park) and some stunning collections from Anna Sui, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren,Vera Wang and Rag and Bone, this was an event not to be missed. Get the 2012 events in your dairies ladies and gents and make sure you don't miss out on getting a first look at next year's collections.
