The legendary Primrose Hill Set - including the
Geldofs, the
Law/Frosts, the
Mosses and the
Chungs - hit up the equally famous Christmas market on Primrose Hill in London this weekend. First let me say that, famous people aside, Primrose Hill is one of my favourite parts of London. With magnificent views across the city, some actual wide open space, and excellent bars and restaurants (especially the Lemon Tree greek restaurant, assuming it is still there), P-Hill is a stunning enclave in the heart of a big city.
The market is fun and chilly and gets you into the spirit of Christmas in a way that we don't really have here in SA. It was obviously a bright sunny day amidst the chill of UK late autumn this weekend, and so an amazing pair of sunglasses was the first step in style. A classic pair of Wayfearers like
Sadie Frost's are always a winner. Then you need skinny jeans. A definite. Then add a cool scarf - the navy dotty one my mate
Alexa Chung is wearing is the winner here. And then a bold coat or a bright jumper - well played
Nick Grimshaw. Or even a textured knit like the one
Kate Moss managed to pull off. Well not literally. Finally, you add a beanie like
Pixie Geldof's if you are especially cold, and there you have it. Christmas style, the Mossy Posse way.
There was so much star style power in one place I am surprised the world didn't tip on it's axis just a little bit. For those of you heading to colder climes, this is the way to do it. Enjoy.
