One street style statement that stole our hearts at LFW was the wedged boot. Spotted on the catwalks of Chloe and Josh Goot, the look is slowly making its footprint on the pavements of London. Keep ahead of the fashion crowd by running with this look for winter. Wear with wooly tights or be brave and bare those legs. Either way if there is only one boot you buy this season, make sure it's the wedge.
I love the look of a very long skirt with these paper-flat boots. Women in winter must wear very high or very flat boots, it's so chic – forget your pumps. Long skirts are a must in women's wardrobes, although you don't see many of them these days.

Starting today, customers in the UK will be able to buy beauty products carrying the Fairtrade Mark. What's included? Lip balms, face masks, body butters and shower gels from companies including Boots, Lush, Neal's Yard, Bubble & Balm and Essential Care.
All 57 beauty products qualifying for Fairtrade certification contain an ingredient such as cocoa butter, shea-nut butter, brazil-nut oil or sugar that benefits disadvantaged producers from Africa, Asia or Latin America.
Fairtrade certification is one thing that would actually motivate me to buy a product. And in Europe, where at least 5 billion units of makeup are sold annually - which requires about 1.5 million tonnes of ingredients - buying a bit more Fairtrade actually can make an impact.
Imagine it, people: Soon this could look loose. Both Acne and Ksubi have confirmed that they'll be making their "skinniest jeans ever" for autumn. And Style.com says that's a double direct quote.
So in terms of autumn/winter trends, you can choose from skinny-mini denim, slashed leggings, regular leggings or thigh-high boots. What happened to Katie Holmes and her boyfriend jeans?

Nicole Richie chose a black ditsy-print dress with open-toed booties yesterday for an event promoting organic gardens in urban schools. I'm not sure this is what I usually wear in the garden, but I like it. Your take?
Unfortunately I failed on the shoe front. Not yet of Elle-editor status, I have to Metro it to my shows, so it's flats all the way! I will be rocking my black dress (Burberry rip-off) with gothic-like studs, black long-sleeve top (it is winter, after all), black tights, a vintage gold leaf cuff (to add a bit of glam) and finally black knee-high patent flat boots.
