Kylie makes a statement

Today, as I was coming back home in the dark and icy London weather I thought to myself how can we possibly make a fashion statement through the winter when we have to heavily wrap up to fight the climate. I try not to wear my dark grey and navy coats too much so that I don't bore myself and when I do I often add a nicely patterned scarf and a colourful pair of shoes and gloves. But there's only so much one can do, right?
Well, Kylie Minogue has managed to both make a statement and stay warm during the Thanksgiving celebrations in New York (Happy Holidays to the soVIP American readers, btw!). She donned one of Chanel's most extraordinary fur and tweed coats from Legerfeld's FW10 collection and she amazingly accessorised it with a thick-knit turban, leather gloves (rings included) and a nice pair of leather boots. There is nothing I don't love about this look. I had never been too keen on Kylie but she is making all the right choices lately.

I'm off.

It never ceases to happen. Every year I acquire a new pair of gloves and every year I find myself playing the game: put them on, take them off. You can't lock a door, find your Oyster in your pocket or flick through Vogue on the tube (let alone use any touch screen device). Last year I tried to mimic Mr. Lagerfeld by means of fingerless gloves, only to find that they're of little use. But this year I have finally obtained the answer. Etre Touchy has developed a new type of gloves made from 100% lambs wool that is most simply genius. Their missing thumb and index fingertips let your most resourceful fingers do their job while keeping the passive rest warm.
I won't go out without a pair this winter. No more taking my gloves off to find music on my iPod, send a text or have take-away sushi in Hyde Park.

I'm off.
