Style Note: The Isabella Oliver Cape

Posted by London Darling

Yesterday was one of those cold and breezy days in London when you really need something warm and snug to wrap up in. And what better way to wrap up than in a cape.

I recently changed my beauty regime to include the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, the Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Skin Repair Moisturiser. It's been just six days, and already I've seen a noticeable difference in the clarity of my complexion and the texture of my skin.

Fashion News: Kirsty Doyle AW09 Collection

The moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived - Kirsty Doyle's latest collection is now complete and what a style offering it is. Consider it a power dressing fiesta with classic appeal and cutting edge shapes if you will. The 2006 Project Catwalk winner hasn't disappointed with 10 stunning noir and ivory pieces.

Bordering on a capsule collection, the Ivory Quartz Jacket is quite a show stopper; a luxurious mix of cashmere wool and raw silk. It drapes beautifully. The Silk Ivory Pleat Shift, is a must-have for work and play. The Origami Peaked Shoulder Jacket is one of my favourites; featuring strong shoulders, sharp detailing and great versatility. However, the piece I'm most excited about is the Black Pleated Jumpsuit, and for this I can't say much more than yes, Yes, YES.
