How To Wear… Modern Intricacy
When it comes to fashion I am one of those people who finds it very hard to put myself in a box. I love classic and simple designs, which I tend to incorporate into my day-to-day wear; yet I also adore texture, luxurious fabrics and impressive craftsmanship. This year it is clearly a time for … Continue reading
Attack of the clones
I’ve noticed recently that it’s increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd when it comes to fashion. It’s got to the point where you have to wear a dress made from steak (it was destined to end up on someone’s plate with a serving of chips before Gaga got hold of it), or an outfit … Continue reading
Yay, I’m Engaged! Now What? Does Social Media Help or Hinder Wedding Planning?
Now, I’m sure you don’t need me to state the obvious here, but weddings are a minefield. I’ve been engaged for little more then two months and although we’ve managed to set a provisional date, location and guestlist – we’re going abroad, so need to give those coming with us ample notice for financial/logistical reasons … Continue reading
How To Wear… Fifties Americana!
Vogue claims that designers have “shrugged off recession gloom with dreams of a more affluent era”. Music and fashion: Two of my favourite elements, both of which go hand and hand, influencing each other consistently over time. So love or hate her, it is hard to argue the lasting impression that American singer Lana Del … Continue reading

And, … Continue reading
London Fashion Week Menswear Day AW 2012
Although placed at the very end of London Fashion Week, Menswear Day is just as important. The men of London dress to impress, and it is especially noticable at Somerset House how London is setting the scene as a global force for menswear. As this was AW 2012, a strong trend of over-sized scarfs, and … Continue reading
London Fashion Week: A La Mode Designer Collective AW12
Date: 17th February 2012 Venue: RSA Vaults, London Returning for yet another successful London Fashion Week season would be an achievement for any designer, especially so when the show in question is a relatively small fashion fringe show with a relatively small venue and a relatively limited budget. Even more impressive that statement becomes when … Continue reading

Hosted at Battersea Power Station, the film was directed by award winning creative visual artist Paris Kain and produced by London creative agency My Beautiful City. … Continue reading
How To Wear… The Peplum
Figure enhancing, flattering and oh so feminine… what’s not to love about the biggest silhouette of the spring season? I bought my first peplum shaped top about a month ago from Primark not realising how huge the trend was to be. High necked, no sleeves, nipped in waist and subtle flare… all in black. On … Continue reading
