Don't get me wrong I love snow, it's beautiful and nothing brings adults so instantly back to childhood. As soon as the first flake fell the entire office rushed to the window with wide eyed excitement. I wouldn't even mind walking to work for an hour through the six inches of soft white powder. Except that it is no longer the friendly childhood glittering gorgeousness, but has formed a three inch crust of murderous ice. And as well all know, no outfit goes with a cast or crutches. In order to prevent unmatching attire I have been willfully ignoring the police request to Not Walk on The Road. Sorry Police, but I'm afraid I don't give a fuck if a car has to slow down and swerve around me, I'm not risking breaking my neck and jewellery.
So I bring you my suggestions for remaining stylish through this Winter Horrorland.
Wellies
The one time wearing these outside of a festival will not make you look like a prick. Sadly you won't look as cool as Kate Moss in Hunters, but you can pretend.
Oversized Coats and Faux Fur
Outsized ruled the A/W 09/10 runways at Prada, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs. No one can disagree with fashion royalty in this weather. Faux Fur is brilliant because it allows you to retain a sense of glamour whilst remaining snuggly and warm.
Socks
According to Vogue 'socks have never been chicer' and were worn on the catwalk with open toed heels. I feel this is a bit of test for mere mortals, I've been tucking thigh high socks into skinny jeans for a slightly more wearable look.
Amethyst Lips
Deep purple is the perfect lipstick colour to stand out against the ice white of the world. Best on those will a full gorgeous pout or dark skin. Sadly on me this would my mouth look like a puckered cats bum, but it looks great on those who can wear it.
