How to… tackle the trend // Colour Blocking Jennifer and I have been discussing just that (amongst other things, such as the best vintage shops in Paris, why men are strange and the perfect flare circumference – but that’s another blog post). I’ve always penned myself as being fairly colourful with my clothing – that […]
The Oscar frocks: the good, the bad, and the downright ugly (yes, Nicole Kidman, we’re looking directly at you…) Michelle Williams in Chanel We can’t tell you how much we love this. Perfectly subtle sixties with the hair and make-up, subtle shimmer and a flattering column shape all make for an immense red carpet look. […]
Prada’s ‘Bright Young Things’ collection, A/W’11 The A/W’11 Prada collection had more than a touch of the ’60s modster about it – coat dresses with buttons the size of the moon, Op art graphics in jewel brights, sheer shift dresses, patent knee-high boots, low slung hipster belts and huge bug-eyed shades… Or maybe it was […]

Yes, the capital letters were intentional; we’re slightly miffed that a bloody one year old owns the bag of our dreams. Bitch): […]
Proof that fashion people really do eat. (As if you needed more proof – really you should look no further than @ASOS_Nat‘s lunch related tweets.) The clever ladies at Glamour Magazine have teamed up with Krispy Kreme to create a limited edition, very special, ultra-glossy lipgloss inspired donut, to celebrate their 10th anniversary. Tasty, right? […]
Channel 4’s addictive new fly-on-the-wall fashion show, The Model Agency, premiered (geddit?!) last night, and we were naturally glued to our TV screens. Featuring the trials and tribulations of the dedicated staff at Premier Model Management, we saw wannabe-models have their dreams crushed before their eyes with a single line (the age-old ‘height’ excuse) and […]
I wouldn’t have written this a year ago, as I was still firmly ensconced in my Twitter addiction. Lately, I have tried to cut my use of the site drastically, but every now and again I’ll feel the familiar pull and end up spending a few hours on there that seem like a few minutes. […]
