So with the fashion world abuzz at the opening on the UK’s very first J Crew store tomorrow, all eyes are on the brand’s legendary creative director who took it from zero to hero in the blink of a boldly bespectacled eye. Yes, I’m talking about none other than Jenna Lyons. The blogosphere is awash … Read more
Well, who would have thunk it? A Boden lust list post. But I tell you what, they’ve got it going on for Autumn-Winter! A gorgeous collection full of colour and quirky detail, it’s like they read my mind… The braiding and pocket detail on this Brompton jacket is so cute, and I love the bright … Read more
Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Graduate Fashion Week gala show and awards ceremony with the lovely Ellie from Next, Natasha from Jam and fellow bloggers Lauren and Ngoni. After a delicious, calorie-laden lunch at Byron we headed over to the exhibition. The various universities had stands set out displaying their collections … Read more
Everybody has their own personal body demon, don’t they? Y’know, that part of your figure you really don’t like, that you’re always wishing could be different. For as long as I can remember I’ve hated my legs. While doing ballet at the age of five I was conscious of my plump thighs. In secondary school … Read more
I’m always a bit skeptical of multi-use products.”Jack of all trades, master of none”, usually springs to mind. So when the Dressing Room sent me the Signature Butter by Nadia wrap dress to style as part of their Great British Dress Off campaign (more about this on their blog), I was curious to see whether … Read more
After a week of patchy blogging, I’m hitting the ground running today. A slightly different sort of lust list today as I am focussing not on a single store, but on a particular trend that is really tickling my fancy at the moment. Monochrome was all over the S/S13 catwalks and this has naturally filtered … Read more
Since the tragedy of the building collapse in Bangladesh, I’ve naturally noticed a great deal more discussion surrounding dressing ethically. It even came up on a girls’ night out last week (in between discussing which member of One Direction we’d like to corrupt). The general feeling was that it’s very difficult to know how ethical … Read more
Apologies for radio silence, the household was struck by a hideous sickness bug and between looking after various members of my family and being afflicted myself, blogging has fallen by the wayside! I’m still feeling (and looking) pretty ropey, so there’ll be no outfit post today, but it’ll take more than Norovirus to stop me … Read more
Today I’m channelling one of my style favourites, Kristen Stewart. I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, style-wise or otherwise, but I love the way she can switch from uber-grungey off duty to high-octane red carpet glamour, without losing herself. You’re never going to see K-Stew picking up an Oscar in a pastel tulle … Read more
Good thing I took this shot early in the day, as the shirt no longer looks like this. A couple of hours in the garden with my progeny and it has been daubed with ice cream, smeared with chocolate and splattered with earth. I am about to get changed! Still, it was a nice outfit … Read more
