ALERT!
Here’s the low down on some key trends to watch out for this winter
MONO-MAN
Monochrome tones were dominating the catwalks for winter 2010. Just like colours get bright and breezy in the summer months, the seasons dictate our colour schemes for winter too. Keep your blacks, whites and greys in bold, sharp styles.Take a leaf out of Hugo Boss’s book and go for classic tailoring to carry off this mature trend. p
PAUL SMITH 59199 £175
JUNK DE LUXE 59872 £90
LEFT, LEFT, LEFT RIGHT LEFT!
Fancy yourself in a pair of khakis but can’t handle the early mornings in the army?! Winter 10’s military trend is sure to quench your thirst for adventure. Details like box pockets, regimental double breasted buttons, high collars and muted colours like green and dark grey build up all of the essentials to this trend, just like this Paul Smith coat. p
RELIGION 59514 £35 RALPH LAUREN POLO 59806 £115
PICK’N’MIX
Imagine your styling rules go out of the window, and this is what you come up with. Layer upon layer of mis-matched colours, textures, prints and shapes create a glorious mash up of an outfit. Clashing is the key, so get to it! p

THE HE-SHE
Androgyny trends are usually associated with stick-thin models who clomp around in brogues and baggy shirts.All that has changed this season with the re-invention of the blouse! This one by People’s Market has just enough feminine detail like the pretty purple print, to balance the masculine neckline and buttons.Alternatively, raid your boyfriend’s wardrobe for a really authentic look! q
LIPSY 59018 £65
ARE YOU FUR REAL!?
Miaow! (Faux) Fur features dominated catwalks for winter 2010, so much so that we felt like the passengers on Noah’s Ark had just arrived! They come in coats, trims, collars, boots and more. We especially love this gilet by Lipsy, for its leather waist cinching belt. Easy tiger! p
REFRESH THE FIFTIES
PEOPLES MARKET 59824 £70
Marilyn Monroe chic
The fifties were all about feminine shapes and styles.Think buxom ladies with tiny waists and bustling skirts.You don’t have to go the whole hog with this trend to get the desired effect though. High waisted skirts, animal prints, hip hugging dresses and even a touch of polka dot all make for Marilyn Monroe chic! u

PAUL SMITH £89 59223
An Adidas bomber jacket all seems above board. Take a closer look…isn’t that a Storm Trooper?! Yep, finally Storm Troopers are being recognised as fashion icons. Just be careful not to take this a step to far and go for Jabba the Hutt chic! q
SOMETHING DIFFERENT DESIGNER WASH BAGS
If there is one man who knows accessories, it is Mr Paul Smith himself. Instead of stuffing all your smellies into a plastic bag, treat them with some respect in this wash bag. Just sit tight until your next invitation to a sleep over when you get to show it off! p

FUNKY TIME PIECES
So, you spend hours each day tweaking your hair, you dress your neck up with a tie or scarf, wrap your feet up in quirky socks…but what about your long neglected wrist? It’s time to give it some TLC with a Toy Watch.Their colours are bright, their ideas are big, and you won’t be late for the bus with this little beauty by your side! t
Winter dressing tends to be dominated by dark, block colours.Add a flash of striking colour to your feet to fight off the wardrobe blues. p

THINGS Y O U NEVER KNEW YOU
Thinking outside the box is a risky business when it comes to what to wear, and it’s all too easy to flick past pieces that you might not usually go for.We hold your hand and take you through some daring choices to make you stand out, and that will make you wonder how you ever managed without them!
UGG £95 59552
UGG EVOLUTION
Uggs make a change season by season and this Winter they have come up with a Lexi boot, which looks more than a little like our Grandma’s slippers! Take a leaf out of her book and rock these unusual shoes with some Werther’s Originals on hand!p
G-STAR £175 59847
PAUL SMITH £59 59209
THIS IS THE KEY
Paul Smith's range of accessories are irresistibly frivolous. Just one look at this cute-as-a-button "Paul x" keyring throws me into a dilemma...do I really need a new (designer, no less!) keyring? One look at the cuddly cow on my car keys at the moment tells me...yes!p
protect from the elements PUFFER JACKETS ARE BACK
HUNTER £135 58890
HARD AS NAILS WELLIES
Remember playing hide and seek in the playground and always getting found because of your beloved puffer? Times have changed, and you will want people to find you in this bold G-Star number. p
Jumping in puddles and kicking fallen leaves just got edgy! Punky buckles and alligator effect turns the noble wellington into a boot with attitude!p

Here are some stand out pieces that we can’t resist at Diffusion!
Oh G-STAR! We don’t know how you do it, but there is a reason that you are a firm favourite at Diffusion and this outstanding jacket is a perfect example.This blazer is somewhere between a tweed and a check, plus it has burgundy and blue running through the design, a thoughtful touch. If you like this look then check out our old Hollywood style inspired photoshoot on page 40 for more! p
£155 59068
UNIVERSAL WORKS cords have a thick rib for a traditional look, but are slightly baggy too and have a low crotch.All in all, this is a seriously cool pair of trousers that might earn you some extra respect from Granddad. p

ANDERSON'S belts come in a smorgasbord of colours and designs.You can brighten up any outfit with their multicoloured belts, as they combine the yachting look with a touch of something a little more daringly edgy. Plus you can get fatter than the turkeys at Christmas because these belts do not have fixed holes and they can go as big as you like – absolutely perfect! u
£90 59977
Liam Gallagher’s label PRETTY GREEN is known for it’s cocky laddish attitude, perfect for any front-man. The evening scarves started out polka dot and block colour, but now they are available in either purple of grey paisley and we think that Liam as hit the mother load! Wrap these up into a cravat or drape them around your neck for a laid-back cool. p

Next up is this amazing dramatic batwing top (or dress if you like to flash a bit of leg!) by TRUE DECADENCE.This top makes us feel like the Snow Queen, with it’s ultra feminine, waterfall-esque sleeve in a sheer silk, which beautifully contrasts with the matte silk of the body. p
THE LOOK OF LOVE IS IN YOUR EYES
winter essential
We can't get enough of the range of t-shirts that DIESEL produces season after season.This winter they have wowed us with a range of logo tees that shout out loud! From the attitude of“I don’t mind if you forget me”to the dainty“Sorry I’m here”, Diesel has subliminal messaging down to a tee! q
LAVENHAM jackets are new to Diffusion this year, but they are here for the long haul.A range of beautiful colours with a hint of metallic, a corduroy trim and perfect quilted diamonds make for a modern classic that we adore. p

UGG delivers another winner with high heeled Uggs! You’re allowed to be sceptical here – aren’t Uggs supposed to be indulgent comfort rather than bunion inducing heels?! Don’t worry, they still have your best interest at heart – these boots are lined with signature sheepskin so that you can barely feel the heel, and they are super flattering! Still sceptical? It’s time to convert. p

TOP THREE BOY'S
TOYS W
hilst Lego and Top Trumps would have once sufficed, we now prefer a bit more wizardry out of the box, with the latest gadgets and gizmos providing just that. Check out our favourites for this Christmas:
C H R I S T MtopA 3S 1. Apple iPad
COTE ET CIEL 58444 £140
2. 3D TV
To keep your shiny new ipad shiny and new, add this CoteEtCiel laptop rucksack to the top of your Christmas list!
At number two is a technology that is currently being hammered by all the big television makers out there and that is of course, 3D TV. Whilst you wouldn’t ever say you needed this in your life, no one could deny the slight sense of excitement over watching sports and films in glorious 3D. With videogame makers also turning to this tech, hook one of these bad boys up to a PS3 and slot in one of the first 3D games, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and I think you’ve got enough to send you over the edge!
At number one is a product that has probably been at the top of every guy's list since the height of summer and that’s the Apple iPad. Never has a product had so little purpose in someone’s life yet still managed to capture the lust of every gadget geek out there. I want one, and if you haven’t already got one I’m sure you do to. Even Santa himself will be making his lists on its notepad function, navigating the globe using its GPS maps and blasting out a few tunes out of it’s inbuilt iPod whilst doing his rounds this year.
If you need a nudge of encouragement to get into the festive spirit, read our 3 top tips for getting in the mood:

MOOD
Coming in at number three for the top tech toys is the Sony Playstation 3. Having previously resided in the shadows of Microsoft’s X-Box 360 it’s since shot into the forefront. An ever growing list of exclusive titles, blu-ray compatibility, superior graphics and most importantly, further price reductions, have all teamed up to create a button basher's dream.
T
he Frankfurt Market (better known as the German Market) is a firm feature on the streets of most cities around the country. It is the perfect opportunity to fill your boots – there’s Bratwurst stalls, Gingerbread, German Beer and more other Germanic indulgences that you can shake a stick at. Throw on your lederhosen and get involved! Make Mulled Wine. The zest of one lemon, six cloves, a sliced orange, sugar cubes, a cinnamon stick and a bottle of red all mixed up in a saucepan is your tasty doorway to instant Christmas spirit in a cup. Watch The Muppets Christmas Carol. This is the one and only, ultimate Christmas movie. P/58
3. Sony Playstation 3
From beginning to end those muppets keep us entertained with slapstick and catchy songs (we especially love it when the cabbages sing in the opening number). If even Ebeneezer Scrooge can appreciate Christmas spirit by the end of this corker, then so can you!
