Over the last few months I have reviewed 23 luxury cars. It is hard not to compare one car brand from another. But driving a 220,000 New Bentley GT Continental Grand Tourer is why I want to inspire all women to embrace the finest of quality when it comes to luxury cars. The Bentley brand stands alone, a different pedigree that is like no other.
In 2018, how should a women dress when driving such an exclusive car? For me at this level the fashion rules are there to be broken and explored. The challenge for me is to be able to be comfortable whilst driving and to build a relationship with my Bentley GT. This week I noticed, that stereotypical impressions that Bentley cars are for old men is well and truly not the case when it come to the New GT Continental Grand Tourer. To be honest, for me it is a car for us women. Every time I turned up in any location, men were the ones that were staring at me. Some what bemused, to see a woman, stepping out of this aggressive and sporty luxury car.
Who is that lady in the New Bentley GT Continental for 2019? Here are my lifestyle and fashion tips.
Throughout this luxury week there were plenty of moments that turned into memory makers.

This is the first time I have ever been so close to an owl and they are truly amazing. What is also trending are quirky gifts for a wise-owl. Statement bags for dream fanatics. I love this deep, on trend colour. The print on this bag is pretty and practical.
It got me thinking what am I going to trend for this exclusive car? As I was hosted by 5star Hotels, private clubs and Castles I decided to go for colour and shoes that are comfortable. It was important I elevated my autumn look with a sumptuous leather, real or faux piece. It is always one of the hardest – working items in my wardrobe.

Leather Skirts And Trousers
Leather has parked its rock,n roll associations in favour of something a little more ladylike. Coloured leather think red, or brown makes this cool lady fabric elegant and lifestyle appropriate no matter what luxury occasion I was turning up to. Whether it be leather trousers or a leather skirt, it is very versatile for any unexpected British weather. It also very comfortable to drive in as well. It looks posh and edgy no matter what the occasion.
New to leather is a pair of chic black leather culotttes is a great place to start, Low key and luxe, the relaxed shape is as flattering and comfortable as your most beloved trousers. I dared to trend this in the New Bentley GT. They also come with an elasticated waste band, perfect for my culinary eating in fine dining settings.

Bespoke Cross Stitched Boots
In the new Bentley GT, there are roughly over 360,000 crossed stitched work of art to create the leather diamond interior. It is all done by hand and has to be admired. This luxury hide is a celebration of British bespoke skills only to be found in the Bentley brand. To celebrate such a work of art, I chose winter boots which are a staple for every wardrobe. I have picked the best classic style boot with an edgy twist to give me a helping hand. So the leather knee high boots with cross stitched design matched the Bentley GT, bespoke leather hide interior, perfectly.
Boots are so versatile, it added an everyday luxury from smart separates to my everyday off duty bespoke knitwear skirt.
Knitwear Look Cosy
In winter I always, look to cosy knitwear to play down the edginess of leather. Similar tones worn top and bottom will elongate your silhouette. A luxe black cable has wardrobe staying power. Knitwear skirts, on this occasion I am trending beetle green, perfect for the festive season. Equally my new best friend was my tight fitted cardigan, which I was used every day with different leather items.
I am a big fan of colourful socks. so don’t forget to get your fabulous wool socks in calico patterns to give your overall look a fabulous stylish and functional look. Very empowering when you are driving and stepping out of a Bentley GT, It is all about living the lifestyle.
