Le Blow’s guide to the best new fashion buys
Sporting a festive knit from now until January is the sartorial equivalent of brussels sprouts; of dubious taste but seasonal necessity. To avoid looking like a friggin’ fun sponge YOU HAVE TO WEAR ONE. Like a painful Christmas cracker joke, festive knits make an instant impression no one thinks they will forget (but they generally […]
Christmas gift guide So from September till May my catch phrase is: “I’m freeeeeeeeeeeezing”. A bit like Nikki Grahame in BB7: I wrap myself up in multiple layers yet still spend A LOT of time complaining about it being cold. I’m writing this list because I’m terrified that someone is going to buy me a […]
Christmas gift guide So. What to get the girl who has everything?! And by everything I mean twelve dolphin masks, a red fez, a trampoline, and a pair of gladiator pugil sticks. FOR THE LOLZZZZZ. Oh. Maybe the girl who won’t grow up. Or the 30-year-old going on 13? AKA buy me an expensive watch […]
Christmas gift guide Who’s that girl? And I’m not talking about the 80s Madge film. Nor the Eurythmics song. Although I do like both. I’m trying to sum myself up in case you find yourself gift shopping for a gal like me this Christmas. Or maybe you ARE shopping for me. In which case: Hello […]
Christmas gift guide ‘Never short of a gift idea’ is a quote attributed to me more than once. Not wanting to sound materialistic or anything but I literally want EVERYTHING. When Christmas rolls round I have to stop self gifting and think about everyone else – it’s quite a struggle, believe me. I know I’m […]
I’m writing this wearing what essentially is an adult romper suit. Nope, I’m not some weird sex fetish loser (although I *do* have a thing for men’s forearms; Patrick Swayze’s being the sexiest EVS), but I’m wearing a onesie. A fleecy all-in-one hooded garment, zipped from neck (to crotch) at the front. And mine might […]
So that’s it then. It’s Christmas. WELL IT MAY AS WELL BE *shivers, eats soup. Puts fire on. Plays Slade. AGAIN.* So instead of roasting chestnuts, stuffing gooses etc (ERM, I totally stuff gooses. Geese. What?) and dreaming about merry white Christmases (ahem), I’m MOSTLY dreaming about my winter wardrobe. And here’s my top five […]
I always thought it was ‘trickle treat’. It’s not. Aaaaanyway, the Christmas lights are up on Oxford Street just waiting for some D-list celeb to turn them on which can only mean one thing: it’s Halloween. Skeletons are weird. When you see someone dressed as a skeleton does it freak you out to think that […]
WAR. WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Well, OK, something. Camouflage. It’s good for camo. And while that whole face-painted-as-leaves look never QUITE worked for me (although I have rocked a similar look stumbling out of Faces nightclub at 3am), grunge is BACK in fashion. *Licks purple lipstick off teeth. Squints through round mirrored […]
Menswear brand Folk have been a premium fave amongst fashion savvy boys since the brand launched in 2001, with the ethos of simple, uncomplicated everyday clothing accompanied by playful styling details. Folk has retailed a select but considered women’s offer from bought-in brands like Acne and Ally Capellino in its London-based stores, as well as […]
