Staying In – the New Going Out

You only have one chance to make a first impression, and you’ve heard the expression ‘good lenses, bad frames’. No matter how smart/savvy/suave you may be, if it’s not turned-out in a tasteful way, it’s harder to make the same impact.

The thing about winter fashion is that no matter what you’re wearing underneath, your outerwear probably consists of a heavy wool coat, gloves, boots and maybe a hat, all in dark enduring variations of a brown, grey or black palette. This is just common sense as these pieces are probably the most expensive in your [...]

Looking back is the way forward
If there’s one significant word in fashion at the moment, it’s ‘vintage’. It has become one of the biggest trends around and owns virtually every other trend going… sequins… velvet… denim… fur… statement jewellery… I could go on!

Hurrah-ra!
I don’t know if it’s because Christmas is in the air and I’ve been bedazzled by too many fairy lights, but I seem to have come over all frou-frou. In the annual search for party-wear, I’ve found myself bypassing racks of chic LBDs and minimalist shifts only to be inexplicably drawn towards…. ra-ra skirts. Usually [...]

Yes it’s officially December now and that big Christmas “Do” is probably just around the corner for a lot of us. Can you imagine what it is like working for a fashion company? Let’s just say everyone is keeping their outfit very secret and hoping to steal the show… it’s a nightmare! Hopefully a lot [...]

Faking It
Baby, it’s cold outside – and much as we’d love to spend the next three months huddled by the radiator swathed in cashmere and Uggs, modern life suggests that we may have to leave the house on occasion. It’s hard to be glamorous when you’re buried under six layers of scratchy wool, but if [...]
