With a resurgence in cycling and the London cycling scheme well under way, even more Londoners are swapping their bus passes for bikes in an attempt to keep fit and do something good for the environment at the same time.
This doesn’t mean you have to swap your leopard print for Lycra! Whilst cycling around the city I’ve noticed how many ladies can get from A to B without looking like they have beaten Lance Armstrong in the mountain stage.
Yes ladies, it can be done! Keeping your sense of style whilst staying safe on the roads isn’t impossible, and these fit fashionistas are living proof, along with some top tips to help you do the same…
Amandine, 27, above right, looks effortlessly stylish & classy; she definitely knows how to step it up a gear. If you are going to wear heels on your bike then make sure you go for wedges to stop your heel from getting caught in the pedal. Marta, 20. left, looking perfectly accessorized, she makes sure she always leaves the house with some protective headgear, ready for the journey ahead.
Charlie, 24, shows us that if you’re worried about losing your bike keys then fear no more; take your favourite necklace and work them into your look. Lola, 26. With animal prints and checks all over the catwalks this season, who says your outfit shouldn’t match your bike?
Below, Adriana, 28 layering is such a big look and Adriana has made sure she is well prepared with a change of tops and favourite chunky knit in her bag, ready for whatever little surprises the British weather may have in store. Louise, 21 is stopping traffic in her tassled leather jacket and trapper hat must-haves. You’ve got to make sure you can be easily seen on the road but there’s no harm in getting some attention for all the right reasons whilst you’re at it.

Hayley, our roving street styler and New Look designer went to check out the stylish folk at Offset festival last Sunday…
“Although the weather wasn’t great for the end of summer the fashion was! Grey and overcast the fashion forecast was strictly Autumn/Winter out with the old, in with the new! With some great bands playing we opted for the relative calm of the house tent whilst everyone else surrounded the main stage. I was pleased to see they also had a tent of vintage for sale, where we got a few nice pieces. Nothing like shopping as you rock!”
“Some of the big trends we spotted coming through at the festival were fringing, and rompers got an autumn makeover in denim. Jacket-wise it was all about soft, slouchy bombers and retro varsity jackets.”
“The teddy girl look (bottom) is going strong, keep seeing the deep sole/ brothel creepers coming through. I love the camel boyfriend jacket (middle row, right), worn with a velvet skirt and shirt, perfection! I’m still loving the military parka, and the mix of fur and suede top right is gorgeous.”

Trend Scout Susie has been scoping out fashion trends in Sweden: Last weekend we went style hunting at the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg, which is one of Sweden’s largest music festivals. Taking place in a beautiful park in the centre of the city (which meant no tents, it was hotel beds and showers for us thankfully!) the 2 day event is a must for fashion and music fans, as it features a stellar line-up and is chock full of stylish Scandinavians. Our kind of place!
We managed to cram in seeing some of our favourite bands including Beach House, The XX, Mumford & Sons, The Drums, LCD Soundsystem (who were awesome!) and Lykke Li (girl crush alert!) around snapping some of the coolest looking beautiful people (everyone in Sweden is beautiful, it’s not a myth) we’ve ever seen.
The Swedish girls were loving the sheer look, layering up transparent shirts, dresses and tops. Also the midi skirt is definitely gaining pace. Animal prints were everywhere, in grey leopard mainly, while we were loving the 70s blue denim pieces, perfect for SS 11! And then, as if all that gorgeousness wasn’t enough to contend with, we spotted Kate Bosworth and Kirsten Dunst – double girl crush!

We were out and about with our cameras at the Clothes Show Live, earlier this month and were very impressed with some of the super stylish girls we spotted. We loved Lorraines floral dress and bright yellow jacket combo, Issy and Lily’s casual cool look, Fays OTT shoulder pads and Emmas amazing jacket (she bought it at the Clothes Show, last year).
We’ll be out and about lots in 2010, snapping our favourite streetstyle, so look out for us, because it could be you!
