Here in our little sip office we are huge fans of Grazia daily, the daily feed from Grazia Magazine, and they’ve been hero-ing texture as this seasons must have - on everything from clothes to hair and seen on everyone from Fearne Cotton to Dannii Minogue to Megan Fox.

We have to agree that a little bit of texture goes a long way - taking straight hair from flat to fab. You could create warmth and femininity ala Victoria Beckham

or add an 80s kick with crimping tongs ala Danni Minogue.

When it comes to texture and clothes you cant go wrong with a little bit of high street. Think soft suede, slinky leather and rich velvet in a whole host of colours and styles. H&M have some incredible faux fur coats (#1 below) and gillets, Topshop have a never-ending number of cardigans, tights (image #2 below), skirts (see image #3 Ostrich Skirt below) and jumpers where texture is king. Zara are vamping things up with their Autumn/Winter range featuring fur, leather and feathers. And of course, All Saints never fail to deliver an array of texture-ful beauties. Keep it simple with a statement piece and you’ll have texture perfection.

We here at sip have always adored Yasmin Le Bon and the Le Bons overall - we even followed her daughter Amber (one of three of her gorgeous daughters) as she was tweeting live backstage as a model at London Fashion Week this year, and whenever we’ve met Yasmin (see below with sip!)…

…she has always been wonderfully turned out and gets more and more achingly beautiful each time we see her! When we heard about her line with Wallis we knew it would ooze everything that makes Yasmin so wonderful - and we were right; mature and chic yet still maintaining an edgy rock & roll feel. Her line features long lean gowns, chic high-neck blouses and a striking vintage-feel jewellery collection that really stands out on the high street at the moment. 

In the Guardian interview she explained; “I’m obsessed with high-neck things. You’re covered up but it’s sexy, and I’ve always loved long dresses. Covering up can be a lot sexier than being uncovered. My body has changed, so feeling comfortable and confident, while accentuating the bits that are OK, is important.”  

She also admitted that she was finding the transition from model to designer daunting but we think the collection is perfect for the modern woman and she looks better than ever modelling it.
