(London) I’ve been spotting two major trends on the streets of London this winter. The first is the Russian Fur hat and the second is pleated chiffon below-the-knee skirts. The fur hats are available year round and year over year at flea markets and vintage shops but their popularity sky-rocketed this winter. I’ve seen girls wearing them over biker jackets, capes, trench coats, shearling and the hat complements each and every outerwear type.

If you are wondering how to wear Russian fur hats, just let your hair down and throw on the hat. It will steal all the attention anyway so you don’t have to worry about much else. Wear it casually or in a formal setting because this season, it goes anywhere and everywhere.

Where to buy yourself one of these furry accessories? You can pick up faux fur Russian hats at Asos.com for £15 or head to your closest vintage store or flea market and hunt for clean real fur hat which will cost between £20-£30.

Isy, who is becoming quite popular in our Streetstyle section, was spotted in a fox fur Russian hat near Oxford Circus in London.

(London) This season is all about colour blocking. When I spotted a Parisian girl sporting the look in London, I had to capture the look on camera. This photo was taken just off Regent Street, close to Oxford Circus.

Isy is wearing an orange-red cropped blazer from Zara, a black top with a fringe from H&M, black trousers from Gap, black wedges and brown vintage bag.

(London) A cape is my favourite outerwear for effortless ladylike class. Added to a turtleneck sweater, short skirt, tights and your lace-up shoes, it is pure chic!

I’m wearing a hooded cape by Monsoon, a houndstooth turtleneck sweater by Theory, the interlock mini skirt by American Apparel, black tights and McEntyre shoes Spring.

(London) Continuing with the five part series of how to wear capes this fall, here’s what I wore on a beautiful Autumn day while strolling about Islington, London.

I am wearing a Monsoon hooded cape, Free People sequin cap, a Zara sweater dress, knee high woolen socks from Aldo accessories and Chinese Laundry patent leather boots.

Lookbook.nu is my second favourite personal style site, just behind Chictopia and I think my favorite feature of their’s is the weekly newsletter with a summary of styles from influencers you follow on the site. This is Christing Chang from Hong Kong/London – follow her on Lookbook here.

Bloggers have buying power influence and I’ll be the first to admit this, being a blogger myself. I fell in love with Jefferey Campbell’s Lita Shoes and American Apparel riding pants after seeing them on Liz of Late Afternoon and Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast and guess what? I went out and bought them.

Sailor stripes are one of my staples for the summer. Fine, I’m not cruising the Mediterranean sea on a yacht but I can pretend! And here, I’m pretending in a straw fedora, striped tank dress from Topshop, charcoal/silver socks by K.Bell that I blogged about here and a trusty old pair of Steve Madden platform peep-toes.
