Baby it's cold outside!

Getting ready in the morning can turn into a bit of a dilemma when all of a sudden you need to take the ultra cold weather into consideration! Below I find out how some of my favourite celebrities are keeping it stylish on the streets this Winter-time!

Sienna Miller wears her wardrobe staple blue skinny jeans, black patent ballet flats, a long sleeved grey top, cropped orange and black detailed jacket, Balenciaga biker bag and shades

Mary-Kate Olsen keeps it trendy but comfortable in an extra long striped scarf and hat. This scarf is gorgeous, big scarves are very hot this season!


Justin Timberlake's flame Jessica Biel looks sleek in a nautical Jumper, blue skinny jeans and leather boots. Comfortable, clean-cut but stylish.





Lauren Conrad of 'The hills' plays it safe with a Turqoise Jacket and black trousers (I love her hairstyle too!)




Jessica Alba goes for a walk in a long patterned jacket, green hat and black leggings. I like this, it's comfy and cute!






Taylor Momsen looks stunning in a long sleeved vintage style dress layered with a nautical long sleeved top underneath finished off with tights and ankle boots. This is a great look for shopping. Not so good for a walk in the park.








Kate Hudson throws on a bit of a combo (tartan scarf, oversized cardi, skinny jeans, boots and a huge bag) but I think it works, she looks hot!

Jennifer Aniston steps out in head-to-toe black. Not very adventurous but I love the Jacket.


Kirsten Dunst does 'rock chic' in her checked jacket, floral skirt, tights and lace up boots (which I'm still a little undecided about). Cute.













No change on the fashion front with new parents Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz. They always look insync, super-comfortable & trendy.

Socks and Heels

I'll take you back to the 2004 Autumn Winter Collection where Socks and Heels were worn on the Cacharel, Marni and Dior Runways. We were told back then by 'Vogue' that this style was going to be a massive hit! I'm not sure about you, but I hadn't seen anybody in person donning the 'short sock' with heels look over the past few years until very recently. Yes people have been wearing 'over the knee socks' for a while, but short socks? Not so much.

Everybody has a their own unique style nowadays, street fashion quite simply isn't as structured and regimented as it used to be and I love that. People aren't afraid to be quirky and experiment with different genre's of dress such as Vintage, Retro, Brick Lane, Punk, Festival, Rock n Roll, ... (I could go on for a while). Perhaps this is why Socks and Heels fit in so well now in 2008 as opposed to 2004. Or perhaps it's just another case of designers doing their job rather well and foreseeing the trend waaay ahead of us mere mortals.


So, how to wear it on the Street?

Wearing socks and heels with a dress or something pretty can look kind of 'bobby-sock' Lolita cute as Peaches Geldof does it. Don't be too afraid though, the 'Lolita look' is totally in at the moment with the likes of Alexa Chung confessing that Lolita is one of her favourite icons and stating she loves dressing like a child: 'I'm dressed like a five-year-old' she said in her interview with the Telegraph .
If cute is definitely not your thing, then you can do as Chloe Sevigny does here and team socks and heels up with a bit of Vintage, Rock or Retro gear producing a quirky yet undoubtedly stylish look.

As with any trend, you need to adapt it to your own individual style to get a result that you feel comfortable with. There aren't many boundaries as to which style shoe you can wear with socks - though I personally wouldn't wear the pointed court shoe with socks. This is a great day or night time look, so I say go to town with it (try different colour socks and outfits), don't analyze it too much, as long as you feel comfortable and confident I'm sure you'll look great!

Adventurous Agyness wears her socks with Oxfords, though I'm sure I'd have been able to find a photo somewhere with Agy wearing heels and socks!
