An apple a day will not keep this doctor away! They've already managed to conquer most of London and are slowly invading the north; it seems Doctor Martens are all the rage this season.

Ever since the '70s, DMs have stamped their signature all over our fashion conciousness. Together with outrageous hair, punk was the original statement of these British classics but now they are restricted to a certain style no longer. Anyone can pull them off and they are a perfect finishing touch to any kind of ensemble. Daisy Lowe and Agness Deyn have certainly proved that.

So where oh where can you find such a pair? Well if you want a choice of all colours, shapes and sizes just check out the Docs' website. Prepared to pay full whack though, which starts around £55. Your best bet is to go fishing in the sea of vintage shops; they'll be cheaper and the 'wearing in' process will have already been done for you. Then there's e-bay ofcourse, which is where I got my bad boys from for less than 20 quid. Many thanks to the fashion gurus before us!

Waste no time. Get a-spending!

Mary-Kate Olsen... junior?

I thought I'd introduce my favourite rich kid of New York; Mary-Kate Olsen. To me, she is the ultimate fashionista and I think we should all take a leaf out of her book, simply to find the secrets of such an amazing style.

From bohemian to punk, from classical to gothic, Mary-Kate has done it all. And what can I say? She is a versatile vixen, one in which I love to sit back and watch to see what she will pull off next.

But garments aside, this girl is clearly a genius (many designers such as Karl Lagerfeld love to use her her as their 'muse' - that's got to amount to such a title). It's time to put straight other 'images' of Mary-Kate that the media cannot seem to stop buzzing about. Renowned for her skinny stature, it seems Miss Olsen gained a few pounds over the christmas holidays. But blaming it on too many festive martinis and exquisite canopy would simply be too boring for the press rats to write about. Instead they chose to conjour up the idea that Mary-Kate could be pregnant. And the daddy? New York artist Nate Lowman.

Now let's not be silly, we all know the girl is far too busy with running her fashion empire along with her twin sister Ashley Olsen, and filming her new indie film 'The Wackness'. Surely she wouldn't let herself get in such a pickle, unless she has more money than sense. And surely enough, her representive has spoken out to quash the speculation. The spokesperson tells Us Weekly magazine, “Mary-Kate is absolutely not pregnant.” Coming from a biased source, it seems typical that they would say that, but in the Olsen Twins' new book 'Influence', Mary-Kate comments about their plans on having families in the future; "I don’t feel the need to get married... but Ashley wants children. I’ll be a great aunt or godmother.” Well if that is what she says, then I believe her.

So chill your quills scribblers, it seems there won't be a mini Olsen running around in Karl Lagerfeld baby clothes just yet.
