  • Channelling Our Inner Skater Girl!
    Entranced by this beautiful Goldfrapp video for “Caravan Girl”, we’ve fooled ourselves into thinking that an easy centre parting, checked shirt and denim cut-offs are all a girl needs to be a pro-skater. We intend to channel a laidback California girl/ Erin Wasson/ Alexander Wang type vibe in pale denim, converse trainers, cotton dresses and long charms...

  • Style Inspiration: Brideshead Revisited
    Being a somewhat besotted fan of Evelyn Waugh’s writing, not to mention my longing to live and dress with the Bright Young Things of 20s upper class London, it was inevitable that I would be a little bit obsessed with the remake of “Brideshead Revisited” before it was even released. Stumbling upon the trailer for the upcoming film I am utterly seduced...

  • Trends: The Heidi Braid
    A perennial style classic, beloved of eternal girl-child icons the world over (think Kirsten Dunst, Mary-Kate and, well, Lolita) the ”Heidi braid” has me utterly enchanted this summer. A playful reminder of childhood days and ribbons, of girls who don’t take life or fashion too seriously, girlish and whimsical without being overtly feminine it is the...

  • Gossip Girl Has A Major Impact On Fashion
    Apparently the fashion on Gossip Girl has a big influence on its viewers and trends. Tell us something we don’t know. Our interview with Leighton Meesters (and

  • High Time For High-Waisted Shorts!
    I am, and always have been, a dress girl through and through. The devotion to flippy skirts and girly dresses that carries me through dreary winters in a haze of opaque tights and scuffed boots only intensifies with the sun. An excuse to let my dresses lead the life they were intended for, a life of bare legs, pretty flowers and sunlit frolics? Why, of course. This summer,...

  • Trends: On the fringe
    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.

  • Wimbledon: The Fashion Set
    Its game, set and match for the fashion stars of Wimbledon. Every day sees a different outfit, each more daring and unusual than the next. But the question is, are headlines about Wimbledon fashion making bigger headlines than the actual game itself?

  • Wedges For Men. Yes, No, Maybe?
    Barriers are being broken folks! For SS09 Fendi gave the nod to wedges for men. What do we think? [

  • Peach vs Coral. You Decide?
    Many admiring words have been spoken, of late, of the countless joys that coral can cast over one’s life. Words that I entirely agree with (perhaps I wrote them?) and, yes, I am in the midst of a passionate love affair with my new coral lipstick but if we are going to be fussy (let’s), I must admit I prefer peach.

  • Ankle Socks. A Summer Staple!
    Footwear, legwear and general leg exposure is always a bit of a tricky area when the sun bestows it’s gentle rays on pins as white as mine are. All sunkissed summer looks feel about a million miles away from appropriate for a little Scottish girl.
