So she kissed a girl and she liked it, yeah yeah we know the story, there is no denying that Katy Perry has become the latest reigning princess of pop. And why not?! She ticks all the boxes, pretty, catchy song, kitsch dress sense and goes around kissing girls, apparently.
But I am still not sold, whilst I can’t help but sing along to her number one single, and yes I have downloaded it, I’m just not sure I believe her, what is it about the Perry?

For some time now, I have been trying to curb a creeping desire to adorn myself in fringing. Not so ridiculous as it sounds, really, when you consider that it dwells in the same oh-so-desirable-if-slightly-hippy realm as festival girls, pale denim and the saturated colours of 70s postcards.

So I can’t help but complain that regardless of which site I shop, they’re all trying to covince me that it’s autumn. According to Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus the leaves should be changing to deep reds, oranges and yellows, the sun should be setting earlier and we should all be wearing long sleeves and pants when infact the sun is shining until late in the evening, women are baring their arms and legs for all to see and the leaves are as green as can be.

Recently, Primark the fast fashion outlet of the decade has come across serious scrutiny thanks to shows such as the BBC’s Panorama and Channel 4’s ‘The Devil wears Primark’.
Although The Devil wears Primark was the first to explore the really, really, cheap prices that Primark has to offer, the show came up short. However, the Panorama team managed to expose three locations being used by the retailer in which children were being mistreated and workers were being forced to work in terrible conditions. Following the investigation Primark has since cut ties with all three suppliers.

It’s that time of the year again when us fashion types don our finery and feathers and head to the races. Yes, Royal Ascot is back and it’s classier than ever (well, trying to be that is).
At Royal Ascot the fashion stakes are as high as the betting stakes, and this year organisers wanted to prevent it from looking like another social gathering at an Ibiza-style party. So, the new fashion rules were introduced to us:
1. No strapless, off the shoulder, or backless dresses allowed.
2. No short skirts or thin straps.
3. No streaky fake tan or bare legs. It’s just not done, daaahling!

After surveying several new boutiques, it appears that the vintage/contemporary divide is now a love affair. Store owners, like those of Vancouver’s Mintage (www.mintagevintage.com), have realized that the best way to ride out the recession is to benefit from consumers’ innate love of fashion from the past and the present. The layout of Mintage divides old and new right down the middle, showcasing the fashion progression from the last 75 years and encouraging consumers to mix and match eras to create unique styles.
