There’s something quite addictive about purchasing an item that also contributes to some form of global good. Optimistically speaking perhaps that would explain the phenomenon of the I’m not a plastic bag (like I said perhaps). Either way, I do like the marriage of fashion and consciousness which is why […]

Read MoreSo fresh & So clean
White is fast becoming the new ‘it’ shade amongst designers and trend setters alike. During the past season we’ve seen the return of the white stiletto; the white pinafore has been a favourite as has the simple white shirt. And yet throughout, the reigning shade for our nails was black. […]
Read MoreDahlia
It’s no secret that tunics, dresses and smock tops are still fashion favourites, and a fresh new collection from Dahlia clothing has recharged our love of the styles with their use of bold patterns, shades and cuts. Whilst there is a definite air of ‘Mina’ and ‘Darimeya’ about the new […]

Read MorePsst…Boho never really went away
It’s the relaxed, carefree way to enjoy fashion, and it still reigns this summer. We love the styles, the loose fits flatter as do the natural earthly tones. The bohemian style is still much the same as it was, but obviously for a new season, a new twist is needed; […]
