One fashion "rule" I always, always stick to is never stick to fashion "rules". You know the ones. "Blue and Green should never be seen". "never wear navy and black together". "don't wear white shoes at night". "don't wear white shoes at all". "No diamonds until after you're forty". "Don't have short hair until you're 30". Blah, blah, blah. It's much more fun to make up your own rules, I think. Although there is something to be said for the "sugar and spice" rule. That's the one that's all about balance. If you're going to go all girly and frou frou make sure you have some killer lingerie underneath. If you're going to wear biker chic leather you better have your hair and nails done too. You can wear whatever you want really - big, brash necklaces, thigh high boots, lace collars - but there has to be balance. Style yin and yang. Take Alexa here, stunning in a cheeky little checked mini. It's a girly print kept just this side of saccharine with the kind of side split that would make your grandma blush. A little bit of nice and a lot more naughty. Just like Christopher Kane's absolutely wonderful Spring/Summer 10 collection, all gingham, lace, beading, tulle and splits right up the dart-line of Lara Stone's toned and terrific legs. Sugar and spice, naughty and nice. I suppose that's a fashion rule I can stick to.
