A Pretty Plateful

There is much more to healthy eating than crudites and cold pressed juicing. While working on my final major project, a magazine combining health and fashion content, I have come to appreciate how exciting and diverse healthy eating can be. It is not just for budding Gwyneths or yummy mummies, nor is it just for those with pockets deep enough to splurge on 'superfood' powders and organic veg. It also isn't as London-centric as most would think.

Healthy eating is actually very easy to do, regardless of your age, location and occupation. It is just about making clever choices and allowing yourself enough time to prepare lighter meals at home. I  look to the Deliciously Ella app for balanced tasty meals, but I am also rather smitten with The Detox Kitchen.

Lily Simpson founded The Detox Kitchen in order to design and deliver meals that are as delicious as they are nutritious. Lily started off by working with chefs and nutritionists to create a range of calorie-controlled meal plans to deliver directly to her clients across London. Reacting to the restrictive nature of traditional "diets" or "cleanses", the daily packages are not ridiculously low calorie and are far more manageable than juice cleanses. They also taste great.

Fit for a Fashion Week #1: His

It's just a few days until London Fashion Week commences, so I thought I would share some of my stylistic inspirations for this season.

I am not one to really go for it in the fashion stakes. I know what I like and I like what I know... and no matter how confident I may be feeling, nothing makes me feel better than a simple cream button-down with skinny black jeans (current favourites? these bad boys).

Staying true to my own style, these Fit for Fashion Week ensembles- his and hers, of course- are pretty relaxed and understated, while still nodding to key trends for the season.

1. A classic white t-shirt is an item that will never date, and therefore it makes little sense to scrimp on such an essential. James Perse t-shirts are second to none, and this simple crew neck style available from www.matchesfashion.com is a premium cotton blend that layers wonderfully. £45 here.

2. Cutler & Gross is one of the most respected eyewear brands of the moment. Quintessentially British with great emphasis on artful craftsmanship and durability, Cutler & Gross spectacles are the modern gentleman's choice. This season's Cutler & Gross collection brings in trend-led elements for a contemporary spin on their slick frames. These camouflage D-Frames at Mr Porter are a particular favourite. Camouflage is an undeniable trend this season, and these stylish glasses are great for nodding to the trend without any novelties. They are £310 here.

3. The Kooples menswear is a personal favourite of mine. Slick without being over-the-top, each and every collection stays true to the brand's trademark cool-kid look. This suede and shearling biker jacket is a standout piece, along with the other casual jackets in the range. Zip detailing is big news for AW13, but this jacket will stand the test of time. It is £595 here.

4. If you are headed to fashion week, I don't doubt that you will require a bag big enough to fit all your essentials. While the croc holdall by Gucci is the ultimate, this slick and understated satchel from ASOS will look sharp in the meantime.

5. These turn-up trousers by Reiss are very smart and bang-on trend for the season ahead. A modern alternative to black, these tailored trousers are ideal for showing off polished new shoes. I also love the juxtaposition between the formal trouser and the James Dean biker. They are £105 here.

6. 1, 2 buckle your shoe! A smart shoe without the fuss of a brogue, the monk strap style is just the ticket for LFW. This leather pair by Kurt Geiger London, also available in brown and matte black, come complete with croc-print leather detailing for a fashion-forward touch. They are £195 here.
