  • Christensen & Sigersen
    One supermodel whose clothing line has kept relatively off the media radar is that of Helena Christensen with her label Christensen & Sigersen. A collaboration with her long-time friend Leif Sigersen, the label boasts quality over quantity and can be found in their store Butik located in NY -which also sells anything from antiques to flowers and chocolates - and...

  • Jojo & Malou
    I often turn to Urban outfitters and H&M for my basics. However since I was dragged by a friend during London Fashion week into the Topshop branch in Oxford Circus I’ve completely re-evaluated by shopping options. I was unusually impressed with everything, and actually spent a good two hours perusing before purchasing a hefty amount of clothing and accessories!...

  • Big style for little money!
    When you’re on a budget and neither want to look or feel like it, then a shopping expedition can be the most painful experience. That’s why shopping via the majesty of the internet is so fantastic, you get to stay at home, thus limiting both temptation and expense! I myself like to dabble in this growing phenomenon and have found the perfect sites to get this season’s...

  • Coming out in the Nude….
    Soft nude shades seem to be a permanent fixture in the stores at the moment and have a very delicate almost romantic look about them when combined with silky fabrics, frills and lace as illustrated by this baby doll dress from Christopher Kane at Topshop. Lose the accessories and dress up with heels for a night out or for a more casual approach pair with skinny jeans,...

  • Darimeya…..Have you got yours?
    Who knew that ‘happiness’ was but a click of a button away, or that it only cost £54…well, maybe a little more if you want ‘happiness’ in all available colours!! I wouldn’t have believed it myself had I had not witnessed the squeals of joy first hand as my flatmate finally managed to secure her purchase of the Darimeya, floral jersey tunic dress from asos.com,...

  • Smock that…..
    If you’re heading to the sales for one last whip round keep an eye out for smock dresses, I’ve seen loads about and at really great prices too…..remember just because they’re in the sale doesn’t mean their out of style. Many have combined this season’s popular bold colours and patterns with the smock shape, which is very flattering if you still have a little...

  • Shopping in a refined manner
    When creative director of Refinery 29, Philippe von Borries, asked me to take Refinery’s new e-commerce site – Refinery Shops – for a test drive, I couldn’t resist browsing through some quality New York boutiques. Minimal for me is often key and I am into my modern contemporary pieces so wandering round the fresh, clean and stylish “virtual marketplace” was...
