Because we havent posted music in a while, because we do love our Aggie and…well just because really. Here is the new video for Aggie’s musical debut with Five O’Clock Heroes. The verdict? We’re not falling over ourselves to add it to our music collection. But it’s not bad.
Read MorePale Summer…
It’s that time of year again. Glamazonian models stare down from countless magazine stands, every article contains the word ‘golden’ and the faint smell of fake tan is in the air. Yes, magazine summer is here and apparently tan is the only colour that will do. Me and my Scottish […]

Read MoreSummer Jacket Time: Blazers
With the first rays of real sunlight creeping in my dusty window comes the faint but enchanting prospect that summer might be just around the corner. Whilst sandals and bikinis might not be quite on the cards, I will settle for the temperature creeping up just enough to cast off […]
Read MoreSephora J’Taime!
With every trip across the Channel to Paris, comes a trip to Sephora on the fashionable Champs Elysees! I don’t know what it is about this beauty brand that draws me in and makes my heart beat a little faster. I mean, living in London I should be more than […]

Just when we thought she had fallen off the fashion radar, styling it up big time for the opening of her new flick, Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow has never looked more glamorous. This A-list actress has been laying low over the past couple of years, being more mum than movie […]
Read MoreSpring Style: Top Knots
Unable to take the plunge and actually chop my hair, I have found a less permanent way to have a spring fling with my ‘do. When you are known for your scruffy ‘bird’s nest’ locks like I am, it is amazing the difference it makes when you scrape your hair […]

Read MoreI Dream of Dresses: Dream and Awake
I like my dresses with a story. Finding them, mainly, in charity shops means that I have to make them up. They become the little characters that live in my wardobe (i’m not crazy, I promise). Which is why I was so excited to stumble upon

After an atrocious week at work made better only by how god-awful my weekend was, I needed something pretty, I needed it fast, and I needed it not to cost a ton of money (yeah right, this is Manhattan!).
Read MoreCloset Solutions: Rakku Shoe Wheel
I stumbled upon this image of the Rakku Shoe Wheel while blog-surfing today and was just mesmerized by it. Most women struggle to find ample storage space for all of their shoes. Stacked in the original boxes, strewn about on the floor, precariously hanging from one of those over-the-door shoe […]
Read MoreFor a good cause: Margherita Missoni charity bracelet
Having seen countless photos of Margherita Missoni gallavanting around town of late, it’s nice to read a little more about her. Even better, it’s good to see her continue her design lineage with this pretty rose gold, silk and diamond bracelet which she has designed with jewelry designer Ileana Makri.
Read MoreFashion Misstep: Peep-toe boots by Sigerson Morrison
I’ve been hunting for a pair of nice flat sandals and given my recent obsession with Barneys, I was browing their selection online when I found these shoes by Sigerson Morrison. All I have to say is that it’s a good thing that Barneys doesn’t deign to break down their […]
Read MoreTrends: Checkmate
Not usually one to partake in any item of clothing that might come under the banner of “androgynous”, I tend to ignore any call to arms for “sharp masculine tailoring” or “boyish style”. There is one exception, however, one item that lives very happily alongside my floral skirts and countless […]
Read MoreChunky Footwear: Cavalli Wedges
So, I’m not totally sure what to think of these wedges from Roberto Cavalli … I am a big fan of wooden shoes and I love the contrast of the creamy pale leather (makes me think of safari, or someplace tropical and exotic).
Read MoreLove Your Style: Leighton Meester
When Gossip Girl first launched, Blake Lively launched to the front of fashion headlines, often ahead of co-star Leighton Meester. However, Leighton has been stepping up her game lately and getting a lot more fashion attention. She looks lovely in lemon yellow at a recent event in Hollywood with costars […]
Read MoreIncognito Style: Eugenia Kim Muffy Hat
Having a cool hat to polish off a look is key to celeb style. Actually, perhaps it’s a combination of fashion and function (ie, paparazzi shielding) that make them so popular in Hollywood. In any case, every girl should have a couple of cute hats on deck to help counteract […]

Read MorePretty Ponies: Playing with Pastels
In an attempt to temporarily escape the stress and reponsibilities of adult life, I am turning to a most beloved childhood toy. Not for some kind of twisted juvenile comfort, but for style inspiration, of course. Yes, I intend to drift through the monotony of grown-up life this spring in […]
Read MoreSeasonal Schizophrenia: Sandals or Sweaters?
I’m confused. This past week in NYC was unseasonably balmy (75 degrees Fahrenheit in mid-April) and I found myself relegating my black tights to the back corner of my closet and going bare-legged with my skirts and dresses. Then today rolled around, and although it wasn’t exactly January again the […]
Read MoreEarth 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 […]

Looking for a perfect bathing suit is nearly as impossible and daunting as finding the perfect pair of jeans. Both are candid reality checks on the state of our figures and both typically leave us wishing that we had more or less in more areas than one. Lucky for us […]
Read MoreLike a Virgin: Vintage Madonna
All of this recent Madonna exposure makes me a little sad. Too many pumped muscles, too much shiny purple and too much shiny hair. Not that I am going to sit here and criticise Lady Madonna, but give me the rough edges and genuine rebellion of her “Like a Virgin” […]
Read MoreDover Street Market: Pretentious, Moi?
I pride myself on being quite open-minded when it comes to fashion, trying any look and trend at least once. So, when I had my first trip to London’s infamous Dover Street Market (the home of all things avant-garde), I was more than a little taken aback. Instead of being […]
Read MoreSummer Buys: Doo.ri Twill Shrug
I have been looking for some alternatives to lightweight jackets or wrap-around scarves for some of my Spring and Summer night looks and just came across this twill pleated shrug by doo.ri.

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 […]

Getting dressed the other morning, as I twirled in my flippy little skirt and enjoyed that brief moment of bare legged joy before pulling on the black opaques and enjoying my daily dose of fashion escapism and make believe, I was reminded of “Wendybird”, the lovely film made by Ellen […]
Read MoreT-Shirt Recycling: Loomstate for Barney’s
Okay so I admit that I have been on something of a bender lately, but I rarely have time to go into the big department stores in Manhattan and do most of my shopping at boutiques closer to my apartment in the East Village. While shopping in Barney’s last week […]
Read MoreArt Over Function: The Statement Shoe
If the catwalks for Spring 08 are any indication, owning a pair of “statement shoes will be the biggest fashion essential for the upcoming months. With sky-high heels that are more art than functional and with practicality completely gone out the window, designers have taken footwear to unchartered territory incorporating […]
