Italian fashion maven Candela Novembre's hair truly is something to write home about! Yes its a 'LOB' (long bob) and its perfectly undone wave is spot on. For me there is nothing chicer than a pulled together outfit with artfully messed hair, (I'm not one for a perfect blowout) and I think Candela is stealing Alexa Chung's crown in this department! The center part and the longer length at the front gives a fresh current take on a traditional bob but it still feels effortlessly classic and timeless! Give her a google and she will soon become your latest hair muse! XO, CM
MODEL OF THE MOMENT:ROSIE TAPNER
18 year old British schoolgirl Rosie Tapner is hot on the heels of her BFF Cara Delevigne, poised and ready to usurp her position of Britain's Top Model. An equine enthusiast, competitive lacrosse player and boarding school attendee (she is finishing up high school at the super society Downe House), Tapner embodies a sporty, healthy and ultimately preppy spirit which makes a refreshing change to the feline and party loving Cara. Already the face of TOPSHOP and the focus of a fashion film for ID magazine (see here) Tapner's profile is set to rise...and rise...and rise...!

MODEL OF THE MOMENT: SUKI WATERHOUSE
I know everyone is talking about Cara Delevigne right now as THE model of the moment (aka MOTM for those in the know) but I think that fellow Brit Suki Waterhouse is a face to watch. She has all of the requirements needed to reach It Girl/MOTM status; a movie star boyfriend, a London cool girl sensibility (she is seen at all of the right places in the capital) and her very own aesthetic of Mod 1960's meets Godard heroine. Bangs, winged eyeliner, a mini beehive and lots of knee high socks is grabbing all of the right kinds of attention in the British fashion community, its only a matter of time before the US sits up and takes notice!

STYLE ICON: Hanneli Mustaparta
Model and blogger Hanneli Mustaparta truly does have some great taste. She documents her endless array of gorgeous on trend outfits in her blog and shines the spotlight on other stylish creatures. As a model she is constantly at Fashion Weeks across the globe and surrounded by MOD's (models off duty) and fashionista's, so it makes sense that her street style pics are choc-a -bloc with pics of gorgeous It girls and super hip celebs (Alexa, SJP etc).

FANTASTIC FAIR ISLE
Ladies (and gents) Fair Isle is BACK IN! Take inspiration from Twiggy and wear your fair isle knits either very oversized pared with skinny jeans or leggings and a great flat ankle boot (NO UGGS PLEASE!) or wear your fair isle shrunken and cropped with some shorts (either denim or black) and some opaque black tights. You can get away with a flat boot or an ankle boot with a small heel, think the Isabel Marant boot that is copied EVERYWHERE right now! xo
