everyone is wearing this in new york + thanksgiving sales

Everyone is wearing a large blanket style tartan/plaid scarf at the moment. They look pretty good, and they're cosy. Try this Boden one or a Zara burgundy number, or opt for something different...furry at Helen Moore, spotty at Zara. Oh and its worth seeing the Racked crazy sales list, some have already started. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and THANK YOU very much for reading secrerstylist x 

leopard is a neutral

Leopard print was owned for years by my glam and slightly bonkers PR boss in HK. I can just about wear it now. If you fancy adding it to your wardrobe try this beautiful scarf, which is half price at Lily & Lionel, these espadrilles by Soludos or this maxi dress at Marks & Spencer (as seen on Sheer Luxe), always go with earthy tones rather then the orangey ones.

faux fur fabulousness

I've been reading a lot about UK designer Helen Moore and her beautiful faux fur accessories. Love this...

Another little gem (which I spied on The London Chatter), Sophia Rogge designs these gorgeous silk scarves and sarongs and donates 10% to the Corals for Conservation fund. Scarves are 190 GBP and sarongs are 65 GBP, she will post everywhere x

beach candy

I read about Beach Candy on Sheer Luxe, loving their summery, breezy fabrics, perfect for floating about in on holiday. The collections are produced by charitable organisations in India which help people out of poverty, providing skills and support to those in need. Loving the peacock dress and hand embroidered silk bag...

feeling british?

Cucumber sandwiches, tea and cake, street parties, bunting, rain, it is all so terribly British. Scarf designers Lily and Lionel have captured the moment perfectly with these prints. Try the Manhattan skyline or Paris by night if you don't fancy the Brit scenes...

scarf designer leah goren...the power of pinterest

I'm having a bit of an obsessive scarf moment. Spied this one on Pinterest (sold out at the moment but you can pre-order) by Leah Goren...Posh would approve...she loves her cat prints...

rocking animal print

Animal print belongs to my boss during my days at Grebstad Hicks. Lynn wore it well, head to toe, 365 days a year! I love injecting a bit of animal print into my wardrobe, and this season there are some great options around. Try a semi-subtle scarf, a blatant jean or a super subtle boot...



This gorgeous scarf by Lily and Lionel (who I love), in the sale at The Outnet

I saw a girl wearing these at the weekend and they looked incredible! By Current Elliott, the grey ones, from Matches

Isabel Marant boots at Barneys. Enough said.
