I took some pictures of this girl at LFW last year, her look caught my eye, and even though it’s not my style I admired her bravery. I was probably going to write a post about how great it is that people at Fashion Week have the confidence to pull off the wackiest of outfits and just totally work them. She was extremely keen to … Continue reading LFW: I Took A Picture Of Someone Dressed Like An Idiot
On my recent trip to New Zealand I “rediscovered” one of my earliest designer favourites, Kiwi Karen Walker. I was given a gorgeous necklace from her range of more affordable costume jewellery, news of which hadn’t made it to me in the UK. The range, Fantastique Magnifique Mainline Little Critters, emcompasses many Karen Walker trademarks in more affordable materials. While my piece in particular is … Continue reading FASHION: Karen Walker Critter Necklace
I know Christmas isn’t about the presents… but it just so happens I was given some lovely gifts this year that I’m very excited to try out. My favourite is my new Karl Largerfield “Choupette” wallet. I’m a crazy cat lady through and through so I’ve had my eye on Choupette and her special range for some time now. Those who aren’t familiar with the … Continue reading Fashion: Choupette Obsession
I saw so many fantastic designers on the catwalks and in he showrooms at London Fashion Week, but the brash fun, sports prints of Fyodor Golan caught my eye (how could they not!). While it may seem hard to wear I love this picture from Fydor Golan’s Instagram showing the outfit worn in real life by Rita Ora, she has the attitude and confidence to … Continue reading FASHION: LFW Designer, Fyodor Golan

Gotta love a girl with good accessories, in this case a fun, knitted necklace that screams “Sherpa at a disco!”. Teamed up with a fantastic safety pin adorned jacket lapel, great glasses and a funky nose piercing. Continue reading LFW Looks: The Details
I’m not a fan of the double denim trend at all, but this outfit at London Fashion Week caught my attention and made me think: if you can pull it off then who am I to say otherwise? It’s actually a TRIPLE denim ensemble and I think its was wise to team this the neutral black hat and brown belt. The fab 90’s lip colour … Continue reading LFW Looks: Triple Denim

During London Fashion Week I had my make-up done by Maybelline. Maybelline has taken over from MAC as the official make-up sponsor, and being a big MAC fan I must say I was wary . I’m sure by now most of you will have seen a million perfect looks on Instagram, twitter and blogs from LFW, but that’s not the reality! I’m not a Maybelline … Continue reading Beauty: Maybelline Mishaps
Last week I went to the Village Press Day to check out some of their collections for next season. Especially interesting were a number of unusual pop culture collaborations with huge consumer brands. The best were Peter Jensen’s collaboration with Peanuts, Kit Neale’s collaboration with Coke, and of the moment references from Ashish with homages to Miley Cyrus and selfie culture.

This is the first in a series of street style looks I snapped at London Fashion Week LFW AW15 shows. I chose this look for the juxtaposition of a fury coat, chic shirt and stripe, should clash but it works. Great hat and lipstick as well, I always love a red lip with red hair. Continue reading LFW Looks: Fur & Stripes

Fresh from Fashion Week it’s time for a weekend and week of Beauty, kicking off with Beauty Olympia on the 20th-22nd of September.

Nail … Continue reading BEAUTY: Gareth Pugh To Judge ‘Runway Nails’
