  • A Summer Hit. The T-shirt!
    Everyone’s doing it this season. From high street store, Uniqlo, to high-end label, Mulberry. The simple t-shirt in once again fashionable, except this time it isn’t about sporting the names of rock bands across your chest. Instead, it’s about cool, funky designs and patterns that only a true artist could conjure.

  • Steep vs. Cheap: Graphic Maxi Dress
    I’ve been looking for a comfy and pretty, floor-grazing maxi dress to sport around this summer. Ideally, it would be something I could easily throw on in the AM with some flip flops, jet off to brunch and shopping with the girls and then toss on a pair of cute wedges to transform it to a relaxed evening look.

  • Earth Day: Eco-Chic Fashion
    Given that Earth Day was yesterday, we figured it would be appropriate to browse some “green” products. Even though more and more brands are popping up with organic and non-toxic lines, it’s safe to say that natural fabrics haven’t quite yet hit the mainstream and aren’t universally available. But, if you actually take the time to look online for alternatives...

  • Summer Buys: Louisa Peacock Sequin Dress
    A girl’s gotta get dolled up sometimes. When most of my days are spent in jeans, tees and other casual gear, getting cleaned up and pretty for a night out never seems to get dull. Sadly, I haven’t had more than a couple of occasions to get glammed up for in what seems like ages, but it can’t hurt to have a well-equipped closet (just in case the opportunity arises).

  • Tube Bubble Dress: Is it a skirt, a dress, or a top?
    Every summer I go on a hunt for a couple of great strapless dresses, they’re comfy, stylish and are perfect holiday companions. Last year, H&M had a decent selection, but after hearing lots of great things about American Apparels tube dresses I decided to finally check them out for myself (and I have to admit I’m glad I did).

  • On Sale: Manoush Spot Swing Coat
    Sooo I love spring just as much as anyone, but it’s not just for the sunshine and the flowers. I use it to shop for some of my winter-wear for when the chilly weather comes around again. I manage to lose gloves like it’s nobody’s business but I also like to have new pretty things to wear when November with all of it’s gloominess arrives.

  • Summer Buys: Leotards take to the stage
    The lights have dimmed, the trumpets begin to play and the red velvet curtains get ready to part as spring’s travelling troup of circus performers tumble out of an oversized magician’s hat. Adorning all from pierrots to ballerinas, underpinning the dizzy heights of fashion’s stage is the staple of all performers - the humble leotard.

  • Summer Buys: Full Circle Trench Coat With Detachable Bolero
    To declare that the weather is unpredicatable right now, would be an understatement. Just last Friday, here in London, hailstones turned to full blown sunshine in the space of a couple of hours.

  • Where the Wild Things Are: Emma Cook for Topshop
    With the impending onset of summer (ha!) comes the inevitable announcement of those annual summer trends that will never go away (nautical stripes or ethnic prints anyone?). Lets take the ever-present ’safari’ trend - predictable and a little bit tired if you go down the old khaki jacket route; far more exciting if you take a walk on the wild side with all...

  • H&M: A Tribute to Marimekko
    I’m sure you’ve seen the African prints on the runways for SS’08, you only have to look to Christopher Kane and Donna Karen to see where the look of the season is going, and now H&M have launched a new ethnic-inspired collection to make it just a little easier for us.
