Anyone who knows me, be it IRL or through my various Twitter incarnations (anyone remember @ASOS_Nat?), knows that my love of vintage style runs true and deep. From early 60s modster (AKA The Beehive Years) through to late 60s hippy, I now find myself settling on the 70s (following a brief disco dalliance when I was […]
Maybe it’s the Jamiroquai comeback, maybe it’s my current nostalgic mood for all things 90s, but I’ve got this thing for old-skool trainers lately. I’ve had my heart set on getting a pair of bright red trainers, and had been eyeing up some Nike Cortez in a similar shade, but when I spotted a pair […]
Apologies for the Ali-G-style title, but I couldn’t resist the (sort of) rhyming opportunity. Also, I’ve realised the general theme of many of my personal style posts is inadvertently going to be ‘is it OK to wear blah blah blah when you’re in your thirties?’ – and essentially the answer is YES YES YES, no […]
Future me is a bit miffed at past me, because I used to own a pair of Nike Cortez trainers in the 90s and they’re all I want in a sneaker style RN. I didn’t jump on the whole Adidas Stan Smiths bandwagon (although I did buy a pair of white Puma baskets) but I’m […]
The humble grey sweater gets a glam update, courtesy of Hush [£50]. 90s meets 70s? I’m totally IN!
As I get older, I tend to buy into fast-moving trends less and less. I know my basic ‘fashion formula’ (for me, this is a variation of skinny jeans, western boots and a rotation of band tee, blazer, bohemian blouse or biker jacket) and stick to it. I’m also trying to buy less, but better. […]
Ahhh, fashion (to be sung in the style of the theme music to Gok Wan’s Fashion Fix)! For every stylish item, cleverly constructed outfit or tasteful trend, there has been bad taste and vulgarity, the shady yin to fashion’s shiny yang. Sometimes, the distinction is thinly veiled, à la Christopher Kane’s floral print Crocs shown at […]
I so know what I want for my birthday (not until October, but still): an ear piercing and piece of beautiful jewellery from the new – and permanent! – Maria Tash piercing studio at Liberty. Following the crazy-ridic success of February’s month-long pop-up, the cult New York-based piercer to the stars (yup; she counts Beyoncé […]
Step aside Stan Smiths, cos Gazelles are set to become the trainer of choice for the cool crowd thanks to the latest Adidas campaign. Using images of Kate Moss in her original advertising campaign in 1993, Insta-artist Doug Abraham (AKA @bessnyc4; not linking as his account can be a bit NSFW) has created a genius splice-up collage, […]
As with most of my blog posts, this one has been formulating in the back of my mind since, well, January actually. I KNOW. See, I was going to herald in the new year with a flashy announcement-style post, boldly declaring that I wouldn’t be buying any new clothing this year. Any further addition to […]
