Shopping EditorLily is Grazia's Shopping Editor at Grazia UK. Each week she gives the readers the top trends to be trialling, how to wear them and which celebrities are making waves in the fashion world. After a 6 month stint at Grazia HQ over three years ago, after studying languages at Bristol University, Lily’s career in fashion began. Being promoted to Website Fashion Assistant for the launch of Graziadaily.co.uk she caught the eye of Grazia’s Fashion Director and was swiftly moved over onto the magazine. And following two and a half years as Fashion Assistant she became Grazia’s Shopping Editor. . Lily credits her mother for her love of fashion and above all the need for jewellery and accessories to complete an outfit. With a mother who was previously a sales assistant at uber London boutique Browns and model for Vogue, from a young age Lily already appreciated the beauty of Missoni crochet dress, a Bottega Venteta woven handbag and Miu Miu heels! Her favourite labels include Zara, Isabel Marant and Alcozer & J jewellery and is a self-confessed swimwear addict - Lily admits to owning over thirty bikinis! Her finest fashion moment has to be meeting Vogue Nippon Creative Director Anna Dello Russo – a career she one day hopes to match.

Obsession du jour: Winter prints
Lily Russo Grazia UKThere are a few misconceptions and old habits when it comes to winter dressing, and the tendency to pack away any brights and prints is all too common when putting away your summer clothes come autumn. But for AW11 it has never been so easy to mix and match summer pieces with new winter additions. Kate Bosworth and Alexa Chung and co. got me thinking about how fabulous it is to inject some fun and uplifting print into your wardrobe on the most gloomiest of days and winter prints were a massive hit on the AW11 catwalks too. ‘But these girls are wearing a dress at a party’ I hear you say! Yes, I know, but throwing a textured knit over a dress similar to Kate’s or teaming a printed shirt with a colour block pencil skirt for the office are quick and easy to do, giving your clothes more mileage too. Bonus!
