  • 10 days 10 party dresses: Backless Sequin Dress by Ashish
    Ever since we discovered Ashish back in 2005 we haven’t been able to get enough. His use of vibrant colours keeps us excited and he consistently outdoes himself each season. Ashish’s collection for AW07 is no exception and you’d be hard pushed not to find a party dress amongst all the shimmer and sparkle. For a fun evening of drinks and partying we recommend this...

  • 10 days 10 party dresses: Monique Dress by Arcangel
    We’ve raved about Arcangel before and if you take a look at their Winter 07 collection you’ll understand why. They design the most beautiful dresses! We can’t get enough of this Grecian style empire line dress and its intricate detailing (oh and we love the colour too). It’s called “Monique” and can be found on their website. Arcangel is available...

  • 10 days 10 party dresses: Mint Jodi Ruffled Dress
    If you’d prefer to channel the romantic princess in you rather than the dazzling party queen then this silk dress from Mint Jodi has your name on it. Its a lovely colour and the hemline is just right! However we’re still in two minds about the bow but we think we can get used to it especially as the patchwork ruffles are perfect for dancing up a storm. Mint...

  • 10 days 10 party dresses: Strapless Dress by Emma Cook
    O.K so we’re four days into the 10 days 10 party dresses series and next up is this strapless dress by Emma Cook. Now I know, I know…white is not the best of colours to party in. It gets dirty easily and you spend most of the night working hard to make sure there are no spills. But this viscose dress is so beautiful that it just couldn’t escape our round up...

  • 10 days 10 party dresses: BCBG Strapless Metallic Lace Dress
    It’s chic. Its classic. Its sexy. It’s sure to get you noticed. A combination of sheer lace and ruched satin cinching the waist makes this dazzling strapless number a show stopper and it deserves nothing less than to be glammed up with a pair of attention grabbing heels! BCBG MAX AZRIA Strapless Metallic Lace Dress, $360, available at Nordstrom.

  • 10 days 10 party dresses: Gold by Giles Deacon
    We haven’t been too keen on the Gold by Giles capsule collections for New Look. While the first two collections have had a couple of cute pieces they just haven’t been strong enough to force us to sit up and take notice. But Giles must be doing something right because he’s just released his third collection for the high street retailer and just in time for the...

  • Shopping: Topshops Vintage Treasures
    We have a new addiction, trawling through Topshop’s archives of vintage treasures. There are gems from Givenchy, Dior, Lanvin and more. The collections are limited to say the least and items are selling out quicker than you can click “buy now” but there are still some great pieces that have yet to be snapped up. Here are our picks. 1. Biba sequinned Waistcoat, £220

  • The Power of Purple
    This autumn/winter we’re celebrating a new ‘it’ colour; it’s bold, strong and very Purple. The neutral colours and bold patterns that we’ve grown used to during recent seasons will soon be a distant memory, with such designers as Emilio Pucci and Valentino going crazy for all purple related shades; vivacious violet, luscious lavender and mystic mauve are...
