On this miserably wet and cold Saturday when the fashion press are diffidently trying to channel spring with their brightly-coloured, wafty outfits, the Jaeger London show was a visual crib sheet on what we should actually be wearing…
Being Jaeger – like fellow Brit labels Burberry and Aquascutum – a great winter coat is what they are known for. But this was no standard fare of basic navy pea coats. Designer Stuart Stockdale played with proportions and textures to great effect; huge sheepskin lapelled floor-length coats, tweed trench coats with square ponyskin pockets, backless sheepskin waistcoats, caramel ponyskin swing jackets and long sleeveless shots of silk.

I love shoes, though as a freelance writer and stay-at-home mom I don’t get many chances to wear anything fancy these days. There are a lot of women out there who do though and it can be incredibly frustrating to be caught in a rainstorm when you are wearing some fabulous footwear. With spring showers right around the corner it is something to think about. So what can you do about it? Well, you can move to the desert (but your heels will just get stuck in the sand). You can carry an emergency pair of boots with you in case you need to change, but that is bulky and time consuming.

Don’t you love brand spanking new blood and talent?
I was checkin’ out Bruno Mars, B.o.B and Janelle Monae (Grammy Awards broadcast) and thinking how refreshing it to see young guys bring pure fun and fantastic talent to the mix; after all aren’t we’re tired of the dirty crumpin’, the Gaga gags and Rihanna’s way-too-much-skin antics? Go NKOTB! (except Bieber … got nothin’ against the kid ‘cept … he can’t sing to save himself …)
In line with NKOTB, there’s a fresh face and label in the world of men’s fashion. Going by the alias WT02, th
