Star crossed

As the temperature continues to drop we're craving more and more cashmere. Our fave this week is Chinti and Parker's iconic navy and white star knit. Super-soft cashmere doesn't get any better than this. Team it with your favourite jeans a la Miss Chung, or why not channel Red Shopping Editor Laura Fantacci [follow her blog HERE] by layering it over a breton top and teaming it with heels. Et Voila!

Forever Kate

Style icon: a term overly used, but sometimes it's the only term that will do. Us Neilson girls have flirted with many over the years. From Patti Smith's boyish charm to the Olsen's grungy take on boho, and from across the pond - Gallic lovelies Emmanuelle Alt, Carine and Isabel Marant. There is of course one who reins supreme... La Moss.

For the last two decades she's been inspiring us with her nonchalant attitude to fashion. Whether its a simple jacket and jean combo, or a vintage frock - she'll forever be queen of our hearts.

So here it is - our ode to Kate, featuring some of our newest additions and Kate Moss staples, jeans and furs [faux of course].

Firstly here's how she rocks it.




And, the Neilson way...

Vevlet black faux fur gilet £198, Citizens of Humanity light grey jeans £245, belt £95

Graham & Spencer black and white ombre fur coat £350, Citizens of Humanity distressed jeans £245

Velvet brown fur coat £249, Goldsign Trenzie jeans £250

New delivery from Raquel Allegra

I had to post a quick snap of these incredible pieces from Raquel Allegra. Each one is hand tie-died and shredded, meaning that no two are the same. The shirt would be perfect with a leather mini skirt or skinny leggings and some Marant booties!

Snuggle up in slouchy cardigans, oversized sweats and luxurious ponchos. Also, look out for the winter warmer range of hats and gloves, coming soon!

Putty oversized sweater £175, Cable knit turtleneck jumper £166

Grey poncho £182, Cable knit turtleneck jumper £166

Here's how we'd style it...

SIMPLE: With boyfriend jeans and flats. The perfect off-duty look.


LAYERED: Make a statement by layering over softer hues in the same shade


PRINT: Juxtapose block colours like grey with leopard, floral or digital prints.


CONTRAST: Mix cable knits with silk or cotton shirts to create a really luxurious look.
