  • Key Items for AW08: Bowler Hat
    Ever since spying one of the new Topshop ‘on the buses’ ads, I am suddenly harbouring an irrepressible urge to buy a bowler hat. They’ve been creeping in for a while of course, a quaint and charming replacement for the over-exposed trilby or ubiquitous headband, but I’ve always admired them in a vaguely detached “yeah-they-look-quite-good-on-Clemence-Poesy”...

  • We Heart Bebaroque!
    As something of a hosiery enthusiast, I am predictably exited by the abundance of pretty pretty tights on the A/W catwalks. Trouble is, whilst I can admire the illustrated legs of Chanel, Chloe and Rodarte from afar with an adoring sigh, the chances of ever getting my chipped-nail-varnished paws on such items of beauty are rather low. After months of searching for tights...

  • Hats Off to Louis Mariette!
    Malawi-born designer, Louis Mariette, might not be a name that’s familiar to you at the moment, but as soon as you catch a glimpse of his magnificent work featured in a new fantasy photo shoot called ‘The Shape of Things To Come’, you will want one of his stunning creations for your own.

  • Maria Sharapova Designs Accessories Collection for Sony Ericsson
    The list of celebrities that also ‘design’ is becoming longer than the length of my arm. Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie are just a few of the names on that list. But now it seems that not even sportsmen and women are safe…

  • Love at First Sight: Karen Millen Shopper
    I stumbled upon Karen Millen for the first time in the U.S. two years ago. While rummaging through a consignment shop, I fell for Millen’s alligator textured, rhinestone outfitted clutch. After spending about $50, this immaculate piece and I were meant to be together. Ever since this purchase, I have significantly upgraded my wardrobe with Karen Millen pieces,...

  • Trends: Addicted to Accessories!
    I have, I must admit, a bit of a jewelry addiction. I’m like a cat with a little bell around my neck - my friends can always tell exactly where I am at any given time due to excessive charms and bangles jingle jangling. Despite said addiction, I rarely buy into jewelry

  • Must Have: Statement Necklace
    This season, fashionistas have not held back when it comes to wearing bold prints, bright colours and loud accessories, so much so that outfiits are playing second fiddle to big, chunky, sculptural necklaces. To make your own statement, opt for a whimsical charm necklace.

  • Arm Candy: Vintage Rhinestone Bracelet
    Fed up with big bold cocktail rings, I’ve recently developed an obsession with big bold bracelets. Last week, while sifting through the numerous press releases in my inbox I came across an email about Carole Tanenbaum and her gorgeous collection of vintage jewels. During her 25 years of buying one of a kind pieces, Tanenbaum has amassed a collection of over 15,000...

  • Cinch It Baby: Waist-Defining Belts
    I have a handful of voluminous trapeze dresses hanging in my closet (thanks to the big trend last year). Although they were cute and stylish at the time, not-to-mention incredibly comfortable, it’s safe to say that the preggers wannabe phase has safely passed, and now we’re seeing sleeker and more body-conscious silhouettes. Because of this, and the fact that I’m...
