Elite Model Look Casting 2012
Located in the heart of the Metrocentre, Gateshead in Newcastle upon Tyne, a small group of people stood on the lookout for the next generation’s new face. Scanning over the waves of people circulating the shopping mall, each model scout’s eye was ready to lock in on potential models within the crowd. “You have [...]
Nuts About Neon
Brace yourselves ladies, neon is back and is bigger and better than ever! The once tacky trend has been revived in time for Spring/Summer 2012 and is being rocked by celebrities and catwalk shows all across the globe this season. From J-Lo, Fergie & Jessica Alba, to Kim Kardashian & Co, celebs of all [...]
Mulberry Spring Scarves
I am in lust with Mulberry at the moment, especially after covering their Spring/Summer 2012 collection for our very own Manchester Fashion Week. Currently on trend are their lightweight scarves that are ideal for this weather we are experiencing. The scarves are perfect being light enough for Spring and can add intrigue to an [...]
Suits You, Sir?
Unlike baseball caps and low slung trousers, there are some looks that never go out of fashion. However a classic and timeless suit can easily be ruined by a few style crimes that could warrant the introduction of a real life fashion police or sabotage that perfect first date or your dream job interview So [...]
The Perfect Body?
As summer is fast approaching and bikini season is almost here, I’m sure we’re all running to the gym and ditching the snacks in preparation. It’s always the same time of year that I start to panic and decide that I need to go on a ‘diet’ for when the weather gets warmer and [...]
Blazer Glory
Time to introduce my latest style obsession: the blazer. This iconic and timeless piece is one that has recently become as essential to me as GHD’s and denim. For a long time I eschewed this design trend as unappealing and unflattering; no doubt in part to memories of a bottle green school uniform with [...]
The Three Commandments of Office Attire
I’ve worked in two offices. Which by my own authority permits me with the right to give advice regarding Monday-Friday office attire. Throughout my many years working at two offices (which accumulate to a grand total of 2.5 years behind a desk) I have deduced the rules of office SHT. I’m not being rude, [...]
Spring to Summer Wardrobe
It’s the bane of our lives. The conversation that is statistically the most talked about topic amongst people in this country and one that causes us to be ridiculed by other, more fortunate sun-blessed countries. Of course, I am referring to the not so great, British weather. Annoyances related to this include; the embarrassing moment [...]
Boys Just Wanna Have Fun!
This season it’s not just the girls who have been wooing us with their fancy footwear, there are also hot new footwear trends that the boys can try too. When thinking about fashion, it’s more than likely that ladies wear will receive the most spotlight, which is why I have chosen to write an [...]
The Shopping Addiction
I’ve really been trying to be better with my money lately. I even bought a book called “How to be great with money” with a smug looking guy on the front, promising to teach you tips that will help you to make the best of the money you have. It tells you about saving, [...]
Trench Warfare
Last month marked the news of a sad demise from a historical fashion brand. One hundred and sixty years of dressing the very best from Cary Grant to Sophia Loren, fashion retailer Aquascutum had gone into administration. But now as the Hong Kong-based owner of the brand in Asia sets to consolidate its control, new [...]
Louboutin Luxury
Elegance, glamour and status… words which can only be used to describe a true style symbol of modern-day fashion. The shoes of Christian Louboutin are simply iconic, and are individual works of art. Instantly recognizable to the eyes of any fashion-conscious woman, Louboutin’s designs really are one of a kind. He is widely known [...]
Retail Heaven and Hell
Working in retail, one requirement of my job led a customer to actually refer to me as Satan. Yes, you read right. Satan. Seven hours into my nine hour, Saturday pay-day weekend shift, I never expected my name and the devil to be combined in the same sentence. One would think I had negatively [...]
Breast Foot Forward
According to a recent poll 90% of women are still wearing the wrong bra size. That’s a lot of women rocking double boob, side boob and God knows what else boob! So, armed with that knowledge, I booked my first ever ‘professional’ bra fitting with eagerness and anticipation. Had I been wearing a 32C when I [...]
Alternative Fashion Week 2012 – Round Up
April 16th-21st was an exciting time for upcoming fashion designers from all around the world. Held at Spitalfields Traders Market in East London, my sister was lucky enough to be able to attend on the final day of this fantastic event, and witness the various fashion shows on offer. For those of you [...]
Christian Louboutin To Make Cinderella’s Glass Slippers
Fashion has always had a love affair with fairy tales and now that sets to continue as Christian Louboutin is recreating the most famous pair of shoes in fairy tale history. I think we all remember being little and dreaming that the glass slipper would slip on our feet and we would be transported to [...]
Stars and Stripes
Scrambling frantically at my keyboard in a desperate bid to win a pair of stars and stripes shorts (which is something I’ve been trying to get my hands on for weeks now by the way) I realised one thing, well two things actually… The first being the realization that I was never going to [...]
Changing Room Interference
With trepidation and a heightened sense of adrenalin, I cautiously entered the store, lured by ‘Sales’ signs and the promise of ten-dollar dresses. She was there. Prowling the perimeter of the changing room with a Grinch’s smile and poised for attack. I would have to be careful to avoid her… the dreaded over-bearing shop assistant. [...]
Dare You Wear A Flatform?
Is it a wedge? Is it a flat? Could be a pair of heels? No, it’s a flatform! Nestled among the loafers and Sperry’s lurks a new breed of shoe. If you thought this season’s neon’s and Aztec prints were as far out as fashion could get, then brace yourself for the ‘flatform’. Here is [...]
The Vogue Festival 2012
The very first UK Vogue Festival kicked off yesterday and is set to be the world’s most stylish festival. The fabulous event is being held at The Royal Geographical Society in Kensington and will be host to some very prestigious names in the industry.
