Style Crush: Giovanna Battaglia

Drop everything, I have a new style crush, actually I feel it is more of a style LOVE. A Vogue fashion editor and girlfriend of Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld to boot. Giovanna Battaglia is one to watch and keep watching, she tackles trends head on whilst maintaining her elusive and enviable 'chicness'. Her CV boasts Dolce and Gabbana's house model along with extensive work as 'stylist de jour' to name but a few, giving Giovanna the one of the most delectable Italian influenced wardrobes going. Giovanna favours typically kooky houses Prada and Marni, houses that require an impeccably trained style eye. She then finishes a look by mixing in just the right amount of crazy along with killer accessories, a classic heel and not to mention her black Birkin...what's not to love?

Giovanna in green Valentino coat teamed with divine Pierre Hardy ballet heels, a perfect example of how to wear multiple statement pieces, with just the right basics and heaped gold jewels, the Battaglia way!

Giovanna is the perfect blank canvas allowing her clothes to do the talking, which her Alberta Ferretti dress and Sergio Rossi 'Talisman' sandals certainly do.

Giovanna looks positively vampy in a Dolce & Gabbana floral dress teamed with some heavy duty peep toes and a fantastical bib necklace. The combination looks at ease amongst her low key makeup and floaty beach ready hair.

Giovanna in Valentino at one of her many fashion weeks appearances, a classic outfit given a modern twist with carefully chosen accessories. Look at that leather cuff...perfection!

Giovanna is a fur fanatic, a passion we both share, take note of how to incorporate fur into tremendously chic and modern looks!

All About the Oz: Ruby Smallbone

Ridiculous as it may seem, but when the summer sun is fully out and my summer wardrobe perfected, I look to prepare my Winter Wardrobe, firstly it will be just pieces and early releases that will ensure I get the pick of the Winter fashion crop. I started about a month ago around the same time that Australian designer Ruby Smallbone was brought to my attention, established 10 years ago, Miss Smallbone's persona is growing from season to season. Her style is based on texture and form, whilst always pushing new trends and shapes.

Take a look and let me know what you think? Is Ruby ready to break the London fashion scene?

Absolutely adore this velvet dress, a winter staple I feel, this dress will easily take you from day to night with the right accessories.
