YEAY! Another snow day! Although it has to be said winter never feels like the best time for the most outstanding fashion, particularly when we have to contend with plummeting degrees, horrid slush and blistering winds on a daily basis. However as the snow continues to fall here at Designer Desirables we take a look at how to stay stylish in the cold weather with these winter layering techniques. Check out our street fashion photos featuring fashionable layered looks… get wrapped up in chunky knits, cozy scarves, and elegant coats for a snug yet chic style. We have searched for the most fashionable folk proving that dipping temperatures is no excuse for sloppy dressing.
Leather Layering
Every city girl needs a statement leather jacket for layering as the leather trend is set to be huge all year. Love this cool urban pairing… especially like the leather jeggings!
Fur Layering
This uber stylish lady wears a sumptuous black fur coat with flat leather boots proving this is the most stylish way to shield yourself from the elements. Layer fur over everything from tailoring to weekend denim for cold-weather chic.
Knitwear Layering
An oversized chunky knit, thick tights and super comfy LFA’s my idea of effortless day style heaven! Keep cozy through January with layers of chunky knits and soft wool separates.

Following my hectic week at the Fitness Party & the PDSA I was invited to a HUGE red carpet event at the Trocadero, Piccadilly Circus to celebrate Ripley’s Believe It Or Not’s latest exhibition of freakish things!. I took along the lovely Rick Parfitt jnr with me, son of fab Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt and Hofit Golan, the wonderful and gorgeous host of Fashion TV. Rick tells me that his band is really rocking this year, so expect some hits from them soon. For those of you less familiar with Hofit, she was the beauty who rocked the red carpet at this year’s Cannes Film Festival with her amazing new couture line “Ash” which she has designed alongside celebrity designer Scott Henshall. To this event I wore a Kasike breathtaking Kaftan from Designer Desirables, which I must admit is one of the nicest Kaftan’s I’ve ever had. I decided to wear it over some hot PVC hotpants and a cool black top for maximum impact.
The week finnished off gently and rather “wetly” with my Born Free sponsored walk for Wolves in Battersea Park alongside actress Jenny Seagrove. I walked 5 miles with 2 of my 4 dogs and my 8 year old daughter to raise much needed money for the close to extinct Ethiopian Wolf. It is hard to think that 3 laps of Battersea Park constituted to 5 miles, but we did it fairly quickly and raised bags and bags of money for the cause. I was joined also by the UK Wolf Conservation Trust where I help out regularly. Again, Toby Mott’s Wolf Girl T Shirt made a much needed appearance in bright neon pink to cheer up the awfully gloomy weather. For more information on how you can help Born Free’s Ethiopian Wolf Cause visit this link
I am cuurently looking for villas in Marbella and the surrounding coastline, as I am debating whether to make a move to the south of Spain. After such an awful British Summer, I am seriously tempted to go and soak up the tear round rays on the Costa Del Sol. I will surely be taking my Designer Dresses from Designer Desirables with me there to make an impact on the celebrity social scene over there if I do decide to part ways with the UK, but don’t worry, as I will still be reporting back from sunny Spain as there are plenty of fabulous events out there also.
See you next week

Designer Desirables loves Fashion Makeover Shows and Gok Wan is by far my favourite, but why don’t I dig Trinny & Susannah. ITV’s Trinny & Susannah Undress The Nation just gets right up my nose and I think it’s a poor version of Goks “How To Look Good Naked”. I keep watching hoping they will grow on me but I always feel let down and that what they are trying to achieve just doesn’t seem to work. I never feel good for the “re-vamped” effort at the end, whereas with Gok I am so elated for the person he has restyled as they look and feel gorgeous, I never get that feeling from Trinny & Susannah in fact I feel they are very patronising in their approach. Maybe it’s just me and no matter what they do I won’t like it!
Their Profile is worth reading on the ITV Official Website though, and I must admit that they are very attractive!
If you want to look good just visit Designer Desirables and give yourself a makeover with a great choice of Dresses, Shoes, Handbags & Accessories…. who needs Trinny & Susannah?

Imelda Markos the ex “First Lady Of The Phillipines” & wife of Ferdinand Marcus the ex “President of the Phillipines” loved Designer Clothes and in particular loved Shoes. She apparently had 3000 pairs of Shoes, over 1200 Designer Dresses, 35 Fur Coats & approx 1500 Bags. Because she grew up in poverty she indulged herself in all the things she could never afford and dreamed about – quite wrong as she had no thoughts for those still struggling with poverty as she did prior to marrying Ferdinand. She created a shoe museum in Manila “The Marikina Shoe Museum” displaying 778 pairs of shoes, and apparently the place with most shoes on display in one place in the world.
But she was on the right track albeit the quantities were excessive. There is nothing better than than a fabulous pair of shoes to complete an outfit and make a girl feel good. I love wearing new shoes, I just feel so glamourous and when I get a pair of Designer Shoes, I love the Box and all the trimmings that come with them. Many times I have had sore feet at the end of the evening as the shoes were bought for style but I looked and felt a million dollars. Don’t get me wrong Designer Shoes are well made & very comfortable but occasionally I buy for the sheer glamour and glitz not for the comfort.
If you want the Designer Look but want Desirable Prices check out Designer Desirables and you can shop like Imelda Markos without breaking the bank.

Designer Desirables is a HUGE fan of Gok Wan and his successful TV shows, How To Look Good Naked & Fashion Fix. But the big question is – would you dare to reveal all on national TV, I know I couldn’t but I do admire those who can. To stand in front of a mirror naked and let the nation see everything is so brave, and it really proves that we are all different and we should love the body we own. Designer Desirables has a large selection of designer dresses, shoes, bags and accessories to suit all shapes & sizes and with designer clothes you get great fit and its a myth that they are just for the perfect shape, Designer clothes are cut well, fit well, using great fabrics and styles and make any girl feel good.
Apparently they are looking for MEN on their next show so if you want to be on the show and are brave enough to reveal all you can apply on the Channel 4 website and they are also looking for Groups. Or if you want tickets to Channel 4 shows visit the channel 4 website for more information.

Hi again, it’s been another fabulous week, just as well as I need some glamourous parties to make up for the awful english weather.
This week I attended an outrageous OK Magazine Human Hi party in Soho alonside fabulous footballers wife Lizzie Cundy, the outrageous gay icon Julian Bennett, The Wright Stuff’s Korin Nolan (the blonde in the booth) and crazy TV Sin Citie’s Ashley Hames. The night had a showbiz feel to it as all who attended were treated to musical shows and a live performance by Julian Bennett. I wore a fabulous personally designed T Shirt by top brit designer Toby Mott, famous for designing Gerry Halliwells “Yoga Kills” T Shirt. Mine read “Wolf Girl” and caused quite a stir amongst the paps attending.
The week finnished off in true Hollywood Glamour Style at Steve Rowland’s “Hollywood Heat” book launch at The Beauchamp in Knightsbridge. Steve Rowland an avid animal lover like me was there to launch his glamourous new book about his life working amongst some of Hollywood’s finest and most famous actors.
I attended with my best friend, the glamourous and infectious Cindy Jackson. We met up with socialite Sally Farmiloe, ex model Jilly Johnson, “Rags to Riches” presenter Liz Brewer and the crazyily infectious Ricardo from TVs “The Salon”. I wore a Designer Desirables amazing yellow Kasike Dress, as yellow is most certainly the colour of this summer.
Please enjoy my photos as we all certainly had a ball.
Take care have a great week
Love Anneka Svenska.

Designer Desirables spotted the GORGEOUS Kelly Brook today having lunch at the infamous Club 55 in St Tropez with a girlfriend…..definately no sign of Billy Zane. She looked very stylish in a Blue Print Ruched Kaftan.
Also having lunch at Club 55 was the beautiful & elegant Queen Of Jordan with her two sons.

Yet another Fabulous Fashion Fix Show by Gok Wan but yet another DISASTER by the so called Fashionistas.
Such a fabulous challenge to create The Red Carpet Look. The Fashionista’s spent £106,307.00 and still FAILED miserably. Gok wowed everyone with a £741.65 spend.
Where are they going wrong? They are too personal and tunnelled and every week they pick the same Designers using the same “personal style”….I am sick of seeing Phillip Lim Dresses, MIU MIU plain black shoes and lacklustre designer clutch bags. They have the choice of the World’s Best Designers and always stick to their preferred small handful. The Red Carpet look should wow everyone & sparkle & shine, where was Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Jovani, Christain Lacroix, what about glitzy shoes..Jimmy Choo and Gina, where were the party bags?
I DESPAIR !!!!!!!!!
You can get the Red Carpet Look at Designer Desirables where you can buy Designer Labels at Desirable Prices
