GREY really is the new Black for autumn and its going to be the most popular and flattering colour for legs on show in thick denier opaques. 60 denier is the thickest and shows the most defined colours and of course a sheer is see-through with a hint of sheen. Charnos have one of the best grey selections for autumn. Their 60 denier greys are £4, there’s a patterned one too for £5.50 or a cosy luxury knit for £7.50. Ultra Sheer and Sheer Gloss fine deniers in shiny greys are £4, just in case of a party invitation. Charnos is in sizes S-XL from House of Fraser, MetroCentre, Gateshead and Fenwick, Newcastle. THIS new wrap boot is verging on the shoe-boot, the hottest look for feet this Autumn but it’s also a bit Victorian Eccentric which fits in well with any romantic looks too. Called the Lulu, £90, by J Shoes, the shape and style is entirely trend-led fashion, but the sole is actually rather sensible, a moulded rubber outsole for “wear and traction” they say. J Shoes will be arriving at Tides, Front Street, Tynemouth, in the next couple of weeks, (0191) 259-5040, www.tidesof tynemouth.co.uk HAVETOLOVE in Gosforth are almost a year old! Wish them happy birthday by being part of the celebrations; they’re holding an afternoon tea (with the odd glass of champagne) themed fashion show in conjunction with Northern Rock at 4pm next Friday, September 21, at the Lord Mayors Mansion, Jesmond, to fundraise for Cancer Research UK and North-East Air Ambulance Service. All the new season’s collections will be on show including this line by Anna Rita and there’ll be a fun slave auction to end the proceedings. Tickets are £22 from havetolove on (0191) 213-1155. JUST over a year old, the Polkadot Jewellery website is thriving and adding more and more to its ranges. Owner Suzanne Middlemass runs the fast turnover site with one-off vintage-verging-on-antique fashion jewellery pieces scoured from antique markets for us to view from the comfort of our armchairs. Search by style, colour, price or type of jewellery or even by designer including Dior, YSL and Chanel. These 1960’s rhinestone clips are £65 but hurry! www.polkadotjewellery.co.uk Story continues ADVERTISEMENT FASHION folk were quick to grab a ball of wool and needles to make knitting “the new black”, but their heads are also turned by embroidery and cross stitch. Some new Erté inspired cross stitch kits by Coats, being launched at the end of the month, will appeal to the vintage fashion lover who wants a bit of a challenge. The designs incorporate beads and metallic threads as well as Anchor threads; a perfect fireside project. Kits are from £28. Stockists (01325) 394237.
