Love Actually Interiors

One of my favourite Christmas films is Love Actually. Like all Richard Curtis' films, it captures London beautifully, more specifically London at Christmas time. The interiors particularly strike me whenever I watch it. Each house seems to represent their respective characters. The following are the ones i find most stylish.

Star of AW11

The sweater of the season has to be Chinti and Parker's star sweater. For all of those who weren't lucky enough to get one (It was exclusive to net-a-porter and swiftly sold out) They are doing another star intarsia style for SS12 along with a polka dot style. The Italian cashmere label is slowly becoming a very prominent label, with the likes of Cheryl Cole and Alexa Chung being fans.

Peace and Love

Heart? Peace sign? Can't decide? Get both like me, with this beautiful gold plated peace and heart necklace by Zara Taylor. I love it.

London Haunt #8 The Golden Hind

There simply is no better place in London to go for fish and chips. This place is so popular, that they don't take bookings and there is often a queue! The family run business is so homely and welcoming and food is so delicious, ultimate comfort food! It's nicely tucked away on Marylebone Lane and the restaurant recently expanded over to next door. I highly recommend it to all.

Bowler Hats

The Bowler hat. It is an iconic piece in fashion history. It was made infamous by Charlie Chaplin. Then Coco Chanel made it a piece that resonates with quirky French style. Liza Minelli made it sexy in Cabaret, and A Clockwork Orange made it an iconic villain accessory.

Coco Chanel taught girls to embrace their inner tomboy, and the bowler hat does just that.

Style X

It's the X Factor final tonight! I have to say that I haven't been massively impressed by the styling this year. Bar Misha B in her dresses made from vinyl records or newspapers, the rest have been pretty dull. Here are a few of my favourite outfits over X Factor style history.

Glove Story

It's certainly cold enough for these babies! My ideal gloves - leather outside, cashmere inside and quilting detail. They're available from www.black.co.uk. Stocking filler please.

London Haunt #7 Formosina

After trawling up and down the canal looking for somewhere to eat, my friend and I came across this little restaurant/cafe off of Warwick Avenue. We had eggs benedict, which was pretty standard. The fashion pictures on the wall and Tracey Emin style light installation makes for a great atmosphere to while away a Saturday afternoon.

Green Goddess

This beautiful dress from a limited edition collection at Topshop has already sold out. A beautiful and simple design, it reminds me very much of the dress Keira Knightley wore in Atonement. A stunning piece in costume design history, the dress has pretty much become iconic.

There is something about a green dress. It's the antithesis of a red dress which is all out glamour, whereas a green dress represents understated elegance.

Marl Knitwear

This season, I have been searching for marl jumpers in every colour. I loved Isabel Marant's SS11 style worn by Kate Bosworth. This season, Zara, Oasis and even Primark have done some great styles that have made up my winter wardrobe.

Versace for H&M

H&M was crazy last Thursday! I didn't manage to get the exact style I wanted, but I got my second choice. I thought it was great that it was limited to four items per customer and no double styles. Nevertheless, Ebay entrepreneurs did well and you can get the style you wanted for twice the original price. I think I'm going to wear my purple babydoll dress this NYE. I may have to sell the carrier bag and hanger to help for the dress!

Beaded Beauty

As previously blogged, I am currently loving 1920s fashion. There's something about the intricate beading and floaty shapes that exudes glamour and elegance. I love my recent buy from topshop. This deco lace embellished top is perfect for the party season.

Midnight in Paris

Last Autumn-Winter was all about the early 1960s and womanly, tailored pieces. Never before had a television show (need I say it? – MAD MEN) influenced the catwalks so much. This season is a very different tale. The 1920s was an iconic period in women’s fashion. From intricate beadwork to decadent headwear, it was an era of true understated glamour. Downton Abbey showcases costume design on the verge of this era, and HBO series Boardwalk Empire wholly captures this fashion zeitgeist.

I recently saw Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris. Marion Cotillard looks as thought she belongs in that era.

The Opera bag and the embellished Natasha top, both by Clements Ribiero, look like works of art. They really capture the 1920s age of sophistication
