Stella McCartney is clearly a big fan of Christmas as she switched on the lights at her Bruton Street store last night with a little help from celebrity friends (and family). Peter Kay performed alongside her father who clearly has a lot of love for the comedian whilst Kate Moss, Jamie Hince, Laura Bailey and Lulu watched on.

The Craft became a sleepover staple when I was at High School. We would discuss which girl we'd be and it definitely inspired our teenage rebellion wardrobe! This makes it a great Halloween costume, especially if you're attending a party with a group of friends.
Ankle boots have worked hard to gain their place this season as the key footwear.

A few weeks ago, I asked you if you'd wear thigh high boots and most of you agreed.
