Fearne Cotton Fashion Crush





One of my style icons is Fearne Cotton so I've been dying to dedicate a post to her enviable fashion sense. Her style is eclectic and mixes high-street items with both vintage and designer. She believes that "fashion is really powerful and lets people know what you're about and what you believe in."

Fearne really admires Chloe Sevigny's style as she "wears what she wants and doesn't care." She also likes looking at old books of Debbie Harry for inspiration. I think you can see both of these influences in her personal style.

As I'm sure you'll know, Fearne designs a clothing line for Very. Her inspiration for each line can often come from people on the street and she'll write down notes if she spots an outfit she really likes. She also tears out pictures from magazines which are put into scrapbooks.

Below is a day-time look and night-time look which Fearne could wear if I had the chance to style her! 
Animal and bow print top £30 from Topshop
Turn up leather shorts £100 from ASOS by Urban Code
Locket necklace £14 from Urban Outfitters
Red brogues £62 from Office
Gabriel bag £750 by PPQ
Lucia Sunglasses £130 from Urban Outfitters by RetroSuperFuture

Pearl collar trim dress £49 from Miss Selfridge
Leather bow watch £26 from Urban Outfitters
Studded high-heels by Christian Louboutin
Cut out flower cuff £24 from Urban Outfitters
Margaret bag £450 by Mulberry

I think I might make this styling feature a regular thing. It involves a lot of online shopping!
