In Primary Colours: A Masterclass

Leigh Lezark is always immaculately dressed, and I am always excited to see what she wears at Paris Fashion Week. This season has been no exception, and she has churned out a number of beautiful high fashion wares- in a slightly unpredictable colour palette.

While the majority of the fashion crowd are donning ice cream pastels or flashy fluoros, Leigh Lezark has opted for the simpler option- an array of Jil Sander-esque (speaking of which, I am beyond upset that Raf Simons has left Jil Sander... What a genius!) primary colours. For the Sonia Rykiel show she looked stylish in a lemon trouser suit, and for the Dior show she looked even more stylish in red trousers with black accents.

Usually i'm a little apprehensive about bold colours paired with black, but Leigh shows just how very chic it can look. Leigh shows us just how easy it is to wear bold trousers, so there is no excuse not to try it now!

Chelsea Chic

by Shona Wallace, @SWfashion_

I never once thought that I would be citing a reality TV star as a style icon, but that was before I realised how much of a style crush I had developed for Millie Mackintosh. While Made in Chelsea is certainly a guilty pleasure of mine, I no longer watch it solely for the dramas, I'm also a little bit infatuated with Millie's wardrobe.

An enviable blend of chic French labels like Maje and Sandro (my favourites!) topped off with luxurious accessories and glossy hair, Millie's look is polished elegance balanced with a youthful edge. She dresses the way I would if I were rich... And pretty... And not so lazy. 

Her outfit at last night's Look awards is a case in point, showing just how to work brights this season. I love, love, love the look! She tweeted today that she was wearing Australian designer Rachel Gilbert with Jimmy Choo wedges (mmm, so lush!), and her papaya leather jacket is by the amazing Parisian brand Carven. I adore her style- she is the perfect example of how to wear a trend without looking a fashion victim.

The Dream Jacket

by Shona Wallace, @SWfashion_

It is a well known fact that a beautiful jacket makes an outfit, and SJP has shown just how relevant this is for now- even for evening!

Wearing a mermaid-esque candy pink gown, SJP looked phenomenal adding a healthy dosage of grunge with this beautifully cut leather jacket by Theysken's Theory (£910 at net-a-porter). It is the label adored and coveted by those in the fashion know, and this jacket is my personal dream piece.

Kudos to SJP for breaking the fashion rules and opting for clashing a saccharine pink with black leather- it pays off and has me drooling after this luxurious little jacket. 

All White on the Night: SAG Awards

by Shona Wallace, @SWfashion_

Awards season again, and here is my pick of the best dresses of last evening's Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) Award.

While Angelina Jolie looked phenomenal and Michelle Williams looked like a beautiful little pixie in red Valentino, it was all about icy shades of white and cream.

I'm so predictable, aren't I? I just think every girl looks so pretty in a white dress and these ones are the cream of the crop.

And as for Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Haute Couture? I'm smitten. So, so, so amazing.

Just to lower the tone and give you a giggle, my favourite thing about the SAG awards had to be somebody who tweeted (I forget who):

"SAG awards... my arse is nominated."

Love it!
