My muse, Yasmin Sewell

Yasmin, described recently by Tommy Ton in 2010's best dressed on style.com as 'never too contrived and always at ease, knows exactly how to adopt a signature piece and make it her own'. I love that she's an Australian who's had her own trials and tribulations in London but has gone from strength to strength starting with her own Soho boutique, to Buyer at Browns, now Consultant to Liberty and the world. Having been interviewed for her Assistant role this year I am even more in awe of her personality, style and energy. She's photographed here with Australian jewellery designer Michelle Jank.

Prim & proper on the front line

Ladies, take note of Calvin Klein's front row of Julianne Moore, Kerry Washington, Isabel Lucas and Katie Holmes looking polished and very SS11 already. Ladylike chic in demure autumn pastels, perfectly coiffed hair, toned skin and ankle strapped high heels. Time to grow up girls.

My PERFECT leather jacket

I love the fact this Helmut Lang Droid leather jacket (£935) isn't like all the others. There's a subtle biker reference but the draping is standout. On trend but one that you'd have forever without getting sick of nor it dating. That's my philosophy and this ticks all the boxes.

Christopher Kane SS11

Oh, how I'm loving graphic prints. And always a fan of neon paired with subtle shades like pastel pink or dove grey. These designs are derived from such simple ideas but look totally new, unique and fresh for Summer. That was always the challenge I gave myself in my fashion design classes, coming up with something that no one had ever seen before.

Prints charming

Hello Sass & Bide LFW SS11! Combining the minimalism trend for AW10 seen at the likes of Chloe, Celine and Stella McCartney, with SS11's splash of prints shown on the catwalks of Marc Jacobs, Christopher Kane and Rodarte. It's also a slight nod (with an Australian flavour) to the lady-like prim ensembles we've seen at Prada and Miu Miu. But enough name dropping...just look at this collection. At first I thought hmmm, it's a bit 'this' season, not very fashion forward or inventive (which I love S&B for) but looking at the detail, they've chosen a great colour palette, the prints are unique, shapes fluid and everything is just so wearable but with a twist. I NEED the jacket with a scarf like insert (I could see a collaboration with Dion Lee would suit here) and love the styling of the bushy neck pieces. Shame London's about to get cold, but Australian's in Spring can be inspired instantly...and put your name on the waiting list for next year! Bravo Sass & Bide!

London's Vogue Fashion Night Out

Wednesday 8th September brought out the cream of the London crop to the high streets. Whether it was Gwyneth at Stella McCartney or Manolo Blahnik at Liberty (lining up for, above)... designers, brands and stores got on board to impress. You couldn't help but feel part of the buzz, helped especially by the cocktails that were endless in every store (this would never happen in tight budgeted, Brisbane, Australia). Sponsored by Vogue, their spokesperson credits the worldwide initiative as bringing the customer and designer out for a night of celebration of fashion where they can party and mingle together. I say it's just another marketing plot to make consumers spend while value adding to the experience for the feel good factor. But hey, I'm all for it if it means an added bonus like free Tarot reading at Liberty. Hope you made the most of it in your city!

It's time to layer up

Falling in love with Acne each season is easy.

The Fall 2010 collection sticks to winters trend of neutral /camel /beige /fur /shearling but with it's own gorgeous twist. It's about the draping, layers, those printed leggings, throw in this seasons obligatory long pencil skirt and braclets on the ankle! The stylist has put just the right quirky touch on each outfit. I can't wait to visit the new stand alone store that's opened up near Dover Street Market, London.
