Denim as you've never seen it before

Siwy is the eponymous brainchild of American designer Michelle Siwy, whose denim label has earned its place as one of the most sought after brands in the market.  Adored and adorned by the fashion elite and celebrities alike (Kate Moss bulk buys the black and grey skinnies), Siwy is the go-to for that effortless, off-duty look and mixes fantastic staple styles with more extravagant pieces in unusual fabrics or an unexpected colour.

The Autumn Winter collection is dark and brooding with metallics and buttery soft black leather but my most lust-worthy piece is the rich and sumptuous velvet skinnies in jet black, majestic purple or sultry red.  The perfect antidote to a little black dress, this regal texture begs to be touched and will dress up the most basic T-shirt or cami.  Team with dark nails and eyes to amp up the rock n roll royalty vibe.

You can stock up on the red and black at Donna Ida - THE denim destination with the best brands and best in-store service and knowledge.

Sensational Sienna

This weekend Sienna Miller announced she is with child prompting a few raised eyebrows at the younger father, but more anticipation about upcoming boho maternity wear.  Sienna (my only blonde girl crush) has had the most stunning and emulated fashion history but I think her absolute prime was her role as unhinged Nikki in Alfie.  You  can pause any of her scenes and the still will look like a fashion shoot - that shaggy hair, those sooty eyes and the most amazing array of bohemian clothing and underwear.  So here's to Sienna...and lets hope it's a girl.
