I have a new video format that I hope you'll enjoy; it incorporates makeup, hair, nails and fashion in one lovely hit! It won't replace dedicated makeup tutorials, but I do hope that you'll find these "Top to Tow" videos more interesting and useful. I'm kind of bored...
Karl Lagerfeld’s “The Little Black Jacket” Exhibition
Yesterday I went to the press preview of Karl Lagerfeld's photographic exhibition, The Little Black Jacket. As expected, it was chic and beautiful and effortlessly cool - the portraits were of models and actors and all sorts of people, all wearing Chanel's classic...
Autumn Style: Layering Knitwear
Here's the knitwear layering video, as promised. In the photograph above (taken from the video intro) I am wearing my two favourite clothing items of the moment: the Hush Cardigan Coat and my Whistles animal print sweater. You know when you buy something and you just...
Hush – I’m Too Cosy to Move!
You may have realised by now that I am something of a Loungewear Addict. I adore being comfy. Because I work from home for the majority of the time, I'm also allowed to be comfy. Just one of the many benefits of being freelance! I spend quite a lot of my time hunting...
Outfit Post: New Zara Jacket with Casual Jeans
Quick little outfit video to show off my new Zara jacket. I say new, but I actually bought it a couple of weeks ago now. It's pretty cheap and cheerful - I can't imagine it lasting too long, but it has a nice shape (for now) and lovely clean cuffs (not for long). They...
Backstage at Mark Fast – Push it Real Good!
I tend to do a bit of a hiding act when London Fashion Week (or any other fashion week, for that matter) comes around. It's not that I don't appreciate the buzz, the excitement, the sheer energy that goes into producing these shows; I'm just a grumpy hermit crab who...
I Can Shop for Fashion Anywhere…
Who'd have thought I'd find something to wear in Costco? Not I! Usually it's full of jeans in dowdy styles and fleeces in odd pastel colours! Sometimes they have Converse there, but again, in weird pastel colours. Now and then they'll get some OK lingerie in from...
Triumph: Underpinning London Fashion Week.
I am pleased to announce that Triumph is sponsoring London Fashion Week this season. Pleased because the models will actually be able to wear some lovely underwear! Shapely, curve-giving underwear. In my photograph I'm wearing a Triumph shape sensation dress - I've...
Swingy Skirt and Preppy Shirt: OOTD
Quick little outfit video showing what I wore on Bank Holiday Monday. Many of you have requested an increase in the frequency of these more fashion-led posts and videos and so I am trying my best to oblige! Outfit worn is an Abercrombie & Fitch shirt (old) and a...
Christopher Kane for TIGI Headband
I love this faux-leather headband from TIGI! I'm partial to a headband anyway, but this one's tougher and edgier than most. A headband with a twist. The knotted design is by Christopher Kane (the British Fashion Council's Designer of the Year) and it is available at...
My H&M Cat Vest
The video below shows a very quick "outfit of the day" typed thing. It's a bit silly, really, but it does show you how I wore my cat vest on hols! The cat vest was £7.99 from H&M, if you root about there might be a few left.. I wore my Hanky Panky bandeau...
What to Wear on your Summer Holidays!
I spend about 90% of my holidays wearing a bikini. I'm not sure that's even much of an exaggeration! I have the odd floppy t-shirt or cheapo dress that I sling on to wander off for lunch, or a cool, loose dress to wear at dinner, but most of the time, if I'm somewhere...
