  • Five of the best: Sequin jackets
    Gone are the days when sequin jackets were only associated with bingo callers, Elvis impersonators and holiday park entertainers. Pick a good one and it really doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a comfy t-shirt and boyfriend-cut blazer is big this season and the same applies to sequin blazers. Think Miami Vice, with sparkles on. Then there are textured, vintage style...

  • Steel vs Cheap: Hot headgear
    With summer just around the corner (we hope) and our holidays booked, we are all getting into the spirit of summer shopping. No-one can deny that little rush of joy we get as we purchase another pair of shorts or a fabulous bikini to add to our collection.

  • Steep vs Cheap: The Blazer
    Each year the choice of jacket changes. 2007 was the year for a military style or classic trench, 2008 saw the trend of leather jackets and in 2009 we are adorning the blazer.

  • Steep vs Cheap: Denim Leggings
    Leggings resurfaced around 2006 and season after season they refuse to go away. Available in every theme, whether it be animal print, neon or 80’s sequins, but right now for us the most desirable pair are jeggings or treggings or jean leggings, whatever you want to call them…the combination of the legging and the jean is just fabulous. Okay, I agree that they...

  • Ann-Sofie Back for Cheap Monday: Hot or not?
    Ann-Sofie Back collaborated with the brand for their Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Back’s influence is clear to see. Her own girly goth vibe is weaved throughout the collection with rips, gashes and holes adorning both jumpers and jeans. The jeans ooze that “cool kid about town” look. While the jumpers are a perfect choice for our very unpredictable English...

  • Steep vs Cheap: Summer Stunners
    Denim shorts are a firm choice when it comes to Summer. They’re perfect for beach to bar and whether you’re a girly girl, die-hard fashionista or like to give off an effortless vibe, you can work denim shorts to suit any style. We like to pair them with loose vests and gladiators for that “I really haven’t bothered” laid-back chic look. These distressed cut-offs...
