Seriously, how can you not respect Anna Wintour? Notice, I refrained from using the word, “love”. If there’s anything we can take away from her 60 minutes with Morley Safer, it’s that Anna is not lovable nor does she wish to be known as such. Anna is the ultimate professional. She’s calm collected and very cool….possibly a little too cool. As Morley...

Yes, I know it’s boring now, but talking about the recession still seems to be every one’s favourite thing to do. For the truly hard core fashion lovers this means talking about ‘investment’ buying, which mainly involves spending a vast amount of money on something that looks fairly serious. The recession has played a part in changing my own approach to fashion....

Is Gareth Pugh’s SS09 collection already up for public bidding? Well technically no—if it was we’d have clued you in on the juicy tidbit but glimpses of Pugh’s eldritch meets sophisticated spring line recently surfaced on Róisín Murphy, the one time lead singer of Moloko.

That is the question. Well, maybe only for those of us that get the option of receiving a special order package from Antoni Berardi.Enter: the Beckhams. As long time fashion friend to the immaculate couple, Berardi stole the show when the two launched their latest fragrance at Macy’s New York, with Victoria tottering around in her Antoni Berardi, platform non-heels.

Subverting masculine fashion is something that women have managed to conquer and they don’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. They did it with the suit and it appears they’re doing it with the dress shirt, a masculine classic.

Now, I’m a firm believer that fashion should be comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, if my new 4” platforms are rubbing the backs of my heels but my friends are complimenting me on my purchase and I feel confident enough not to stumble over the next paving slab whilst wearing them, I might just keep them on. Because comfort is not all about practicality; it’s about...

Now I really can’t decide if I actually like either trends or not. Even though I own several pairs of knee-high socks in an array of colours, I have to admit I am too scared to wear them in public. It’s not so much the fact that I care what other people think, but it’s my own indecision of the credibility of knee -high socks that I fear to lend my name to.

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...

Perhaps it was my recent holiday that involved copious amounts of sea-swimming, mermaid style, but I think I may have found my late summer/early autumn style inspiration. Not wanting to abandon the look of sunlit days entirely, but looking forward to the darkly romantic fashion of winter I’m stealing looks from folklore mermaids. Scantily clad in summer style but...

I’m not a huge fan of celebrity labels. That’s no secret and you can read my rant on the subject
