Celebrity Style Steal - Louise Redknapp & WIWT

As soon as I saw this picture of Louise I just knew it would make a great style steal as not only is the outfit perfect for dressing up or down, it's made up of wardrobe basics that a lot of us will have similar to hanging in our wardrobe & if we don't then they'd be great staples to invest in.

First up here's Louise looking effortlessly cool & stylish.  I just love everything about this outfit & it could so easily be dressed down with some chunky ankle boots & a blanket scarf for everyday.




So let's get stealing her style.  Starting with the biker jacket.  How fab does this Mango one look for just under £60?!  I have to say I'm loving my biker jacket that I picked up for a fraction of the price last summer while in Majorca.  Great for dressing up or down & it really does go with everything from maxi skirts to shirt dresses, capri trousers to distressed jeans - a real wardrobe staple if ever there was one.






For the jumper I've picked this long 'V' neck one from Woolovers.  I have the hot pink version of this & love it, as not only is it a great length it has a lovely neckline too.  Now I know it looks a bit old fashioned in the below picture but seriously when my Gap one needs replacing I'll be getting one of these babies as I've been really impressed with mine.






Now I just love this horn pendant necklace from Mango.  Very similar in design to the one I brought in Wallis a couple of months ago.  These necklaces are just perfect for layering with shorter, delicate ones & they seem to come into their own come the warmer months, I'm definitely adding this onto my items to investigate further!






For the pleated midi skirt this one from ASOS looks great.  Again a fab skirt to wear all year long.  I just love wearing mine in the summer teamed with a simple camisole top & necklace similar to the one above.






Turning to Louise's bag now &  I've gone for this great one from ASOS.  I just love the black teamed with the pinky/red suede & of course we all know how useful a clutch bag for a night out with the other half/girls can be.






And finally for the boots how about these from Next?!  I just love them - perfect for teaming with skirts, dresses or trousers & they really would go with anything.






Finally here's my outfit for today - back off to London for a meeting & I have an equal mixture of nerves & excitement but keeping my fingers crossed all goes well!

Of course another day in London equals another dilemma of what to wear........cue mucho trying on of clothes, a huge pile of discarded clothes on the floor & much raising of the eyebrows by the hubby & son as I whaled 'I don't have anything to wear!!' - me dramatic.....I don't think so ;-)

In the end I settled on this.




Poncho - Zara
Biker Jacket - Zara
Necklace - Zara
Jumper - Zara
Capri Trousers - Zara
Shoes - Mint Velvet


Black & Grey


Poncho - Zara £25.99
Biker Jacket - Wallis £60

So what do you think?  Is this outfit that Louise is wearing a style you could see yourself wearing?  Perhaps you've already got most of these staples hanging up in your wardrobe & are tempted to give it a go?  As always I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Have a fab day & see you in the morning.  Oh & for today only it's 20% off all outerwear & knitwear at Boden click here!

    1. Hi & thank you, yes fingers crossed it all went well :-)
      Louise always seems to get it right doesn't she & I just love the idea of teaming the skirt with a biker jacket, something I must try at some stage.
      Hope the hunt for a grey jumper does well I seem to have worn mine loads this winter.

  4. I'm not surprised you chose this look Jane, it's very you! I love the way that Louise never overdoes her outfits, and she always looks very cool. Having jamie on her arm doesn't do any harm either, does it?!
