I have always worshiped the former French Vogue Editor, Carine Roitfeld’s work. Now, thanks to publishing house Rizzoli all her finest shoots have been gathered together in this book entitled ‘Irreverent’. Pour over pages of  iconic images, quotes, letters from the most prestigious of designers and an interview with fashion leading lady . Carine is not only an inspiration for all those serious about getting into the Fashion Industry but she has paved the way for women to be liberated by their freedom and dress the part. French Vogue will not be the same without Carine at the helm but at least I now have this wonderful book, a true dedication to her brilliance  to dip into every time I yearn for some creative inspiration. I salute you Carine for breaking down boundaries and being a true living legend. You are what fashion is about…

What a brilliant idea.  Gloves you can keep on when using your i phone  and i pad from http://www.apple.com/uk/. This innovative design means you don’t have to keep taking off your mitts to send a text or surf the web which as we know always leads to lost gloves and cold digits along the way.

These gloves by Etre Fivepoint are made from a special breed of fabric which lets you make contact with your phone. So you can now text, tweet and type away without freezing fingers. There is a whole range to choose from in colours that you will love. Look no further than http://www.etreshop.com/

My Week With Marilyn, the highly stylish film starring Michelle Williams is released today in Cinemas nationwide. The film has recieved rave reviews and stars an almost all star Brit cast including Judy Dench and Kenneth Branaugh. The film is based on the frenetic love life of Marilyn Monroe and touches on intimate relationships with the three main men in her life, Arthur Miller, Lawrence Oliver and Colin Clark. If the romantic aspect doesn’t get you going then the Fashion will… this films styling is ‘bang on’ and ‘Marilyn mania’ is going to be huge. We will all  be revisiting 1956 wearing head scarves, dark shades, pencil skirts and red lips before you can say platinum blonde hair.

Here at Style School head office we are LOVING this brand that promise to keep us snug and warm this Winter. Bring on the cold spell we say…

Mou (http://www.mou-online.com/) offer the chicest answer for warm feet and celebrities across the globe have them as ‘their must’ have winter warmers. Sarah Jessica Parker and Style School’s Queen of Style, Gwyneth Paltrow have kicked of their Louboutins in favour of Mou. All the boots are made out of natural fabrics,using the softest lambswool and the finest calfskin and with a double fleece lining inside plus their is a non slip sole so it makes them the perfect choice for apres skiwear. We say ugghhh for Uggs and Mwaaaa for Mou.
