Gemma Sheppard at the Ralph Lauren event

You’re working with Vision Express and their new collection from Ralph Lauren, how would you describe the collection?

This collection is timeless and classic. It's all about style rather than fashion – style is timeless and lasts forever.

Glasses have, over the past few years, become more of a style statement, which are the on-trend styles you currently love?

The Western detailing on Ralph Lauren's new range at Vision Express is really on trend, I have some great pin boards including my latest eyewear trend tips on my pinterest

As well as glasses, which sunglasses are you currently loving?

I adore Miu Miu, Victoria Beckham and Tom Ford

It’s Award season, which red carpet looks have you been loving?

At the NTAs I adored Fearne Cotton's outfit – she exuded cool and chic. She met that perfect balance between sophistication and youthfulness which is really hard to combine. I'm covering the Oscars soon so I'm sure there'll be an awful lot of style inspiration to come!

Whose style on the red carpet would you like to make some changes to?

It's not strictly about changing a person's style, if someone is happy with their style it's more about little changes I can make to make it really special. Fashion is something to love and enjoy, the best looks on the red carpet are those that make you look powerful and this all comes from confidence and comfort. The beauty of Fashion is that it's subjective so if someone feels great it will give them confidence and they will look great – it's not up to me to change that.

As we get ready to move into Spring, which trends are you loving for the season ahead?

My five top tips at the moment are:                                                      - Florals

- Metallics

- Logomania

-Pastels

-Sheer and transparency

Personally I am loving florals and prints at the moment, I am the sort of person who will go for the whole suit! What I love about fashion today is that the high street is very powerful, if you can invest in one fantastic high fashion piece you can match and complement it by embracing high street fashion. 

Which four items would you suggest people buy for Spring/Summer?

1. Fabulous sunglasses – The new collection from Ralph Lauren eyewear at Vision Express has some fantastic on-trend pieces for this Spring/Summer

2. A great piece of statement jewellery – this can completely revamp your wardrobe for very little expense

3. Red Lipstick – I particularly love Tom Ford at the moment – the power of a red lip gives you endless versatility

4. Invest in fabulous shoes – high heels ooze glamour and can take a casual outfit into an instant fashion hit effortlessly. I'm a mum of 3 kids so anything that makes my life easier without endless outfit changes is a complete win.
