Trends
Not usually one to idolise the style choices of fictional teenage girls (childhood ‘Clarissa‘ obsession aside…), I have decided to make an exception and appoint Cassie from hit TV show ‘Skins‘ as my new style crush.
The show, which chronicles the debaucherous antics of a group of Bristol based teens, is dressed up in the kind of stylised, nonchalant clothes that make me long for the days of my own teenage rebellion. I’m hooked on the ...
Collective muses of the season seem to be “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” of “Grey Gardens” fame. The cult documentary, which followed the squalar, isolation and faded eccentricities of Jackie O’s aunt and cousin in East Hampton, directly inspired Galliano’s S/S show and is currently being remade into a feature film starring Drew Barrymore.
The accompanying ‘crazy old lady’ style certainly captures the zeitgeist of the season with its eccentric clashing, nonsensical styling and deconstructed elegance.
This surreal sophistication gives ...
I have always been an enthusiastic ambassador for the joys of coloured tights, so it is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation. That is not to say that I am abandoning tights as a whole, it’s just that I’m a little bored of the block colour variety.
I am still a firm believer in the magical and economical ability of hoisery to transform a look, especially in between seasons. Fortunately, there is a whole line up of ...
Contrary to what the magazines would have you believe, there is a way to float through Spring’s romance-spun reverie withough having to overload your garden with never-ending floral prints. A new production of ballerina chic is a vision of femininity restrained, of a restricted softness that can render its wearer an honoury member of the Ballet Russes.
Take your cue from Riccardo Tisci’s “Gothic Ballerina” couture collection at Givenchy. A contrast between dark and light, between tailored binding ...
Yesterday, Victoria Beckham did what she does best: shopping in the most uncomfortable clothing. Wearing PVC leggings, guaranteed to cut off all blood circulation, Victoria made her way to the Balenciaga store in Mayfair, London.

Yesterday CasaSugar tipped us off to a great bargain on the Viva Terra Porcelain Branch Teapot. I loved the woodsy look and it got me curious about the whole branch trend in general. I've seen it in many home-decorating elements and knew that I'd find a similar pattern in kitchenware. With that in mind I went shopping and rounded up a bunch of really neat branch items. If you're into branches I've found dishware, glassware, ...
It’s official, ladies. Pearls are no longer just for your grandmother, great-aunt Frances, and job interviews. Sarah Jessica Parker was seen wearing long strands of them looped over a little black dress, and I’ve got to say, she looked fabulous.
Along with the more tailored, 1950s-inspired looks that we saw for the Fall 2008 collections, it’s a perfect time for pearls to make a comeback.
J. Crew, a go-to resource for preppy fashion, already ...
Denim seems to be having a bit of a moment. More than usual, that is. Pale and, more alarmingly, stonewash denim is invading our nation’s streets and magazines at a swift pace.
The current incarnation of “it” denim seems to be a hybrid between a kind of 90’s shredded tomboy (see Christopher Kane S/S 08) and hippy pilgrimage to 70’s Marrakech (see pale wide legged flares, well, everywhere). This eclectic denim lovechild is getting me excited about a ...
Oh, Kate. Just after I finish gushing about how cool you are, how gorgeous, how unique, how you have impeccable taste in fashion, you have to go and do something like this.
Why, oh why did you find it necessary to wear arm warmers?
The dress by itself isn’t too bad, not necessarily my first choice but with her sartorial je ne sai quois Kate could surely pull it off. The shoes are fab, ...
I have always had a soft spot for lace. Any fabric which makes me think of veiled ladies from old novels and Victorian dolls has absolutely got me seduced. How lovely, then, to see that lace seems to have woven its way onto the A/W runways. The fragile lace slips and tights at Emma Cook showed a delicate ‘heartbreak’ incarnation perfect for running through cobbled streets at twilight.
Meanwhile, at Prada the fabric held a much sterner tone, with ...
Last night Madonna was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in a ceremony held at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York.
The Material Girl shocked some - not those who have seen her Sex book - by wearing a transparent Chanel Spring 2008 dress with white sequin detailing and a black bow. She completed her ensemble with a pair of black leather knee-high boots and a bracelets.
This is not the first time this ...
Carrying a big bag has been a trend that has been around for a while now. Not only is it a trend, it is also very practical to put all your stuff in one bag, instead of 2 or 3, which I have been known to do before.
Peaches and Pixie Geldof took the big bag to another level - Oversize - when they were seen showing off the new Mulberry Roxanne tote, which appears to be half ...
