What I’ve liked – Fashion Mommy’s review of September.
Well, it’s almost the end of another stylish month, and Fashion-mommy has decided to have a review of all the stylish things she has loved this month. September has been an extremely stylish month, with all the fashion weeks happening across the globe, and launches of the Perfume Diaries at Harrods, The Shoe Galleries at Selfridges, and Biba at House of Fraser. We’ve remembered sadly missed icons of style Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen, and have lost Catherine Walker. We’ve welcomed the Autumn collections in all their full-skirted, 1950’s glory. And we’ve celebrated the rise of the curve, with Chanel campaigns for Crystal Renn, and a Grazia front cover for…

Is it too early for a 1990’s fashion revival?
According to the October edition of Vogue, there is a 1990’s revival occurring in fashion. This made me shudder in disbelief, the 1990’s don’t seem to be far away enough in the past to be subject to a revival. Nor do they seem to be a distinctive enough style decade to warrant said revival. This got fashion-mommy thinking about her 90’s style, and the decade in general in order to try to answer the question ‘is it too early for a 90’s style revival, and if it is not, is it really worth reviving anyway? My early 90’s style was dominated by Grunge. I loved The Wonderstuff, Soundgarden and Nirvana,…

There’s nothing as stylish as a wedding?
There’s nothing as stylish as a wedding. Think about it, the hats, the suits,the dresses, the flowers, the cake, but most of all, the bride. A bride is a fairy tale come to life. The one day when all women should feel beautiful, no matter what they choose to wear. My sister is getting married in December. She had a dress fitting last week. Her actual dress had arrived and she was going to try it on for the first time. Before this she had tried the dress, but in a different size or a different colour. This was the actual dress fitting and we were all totally excited. Jodie’s…

Catherine Walker remembered.
On Thursday I went to the V&A to see the Grace Kelly exhibition. After spending an hour admiring Grace’s style, we exited to the main costume exhibition. One dress made us all gasp. For there, in all its glory, was the Princess Diana ‘Elvis’ dress, the stunning off white gem encrusted strapless dress, with short sleeved jacket with the upturned collar. This was the dress that the Franklin Mint had donated to the museum in 2005/6, the dress that had raised the most money when Diana had held her famous dress Auction. The dress was instantly recogniseable to all, one of Diana’s most famous, most successful looks. And yet its…

Why changing rooms are a no-no in fashion mommy world!
I HATE CHANGING ROOMS! I feel better for saying that aloud. I break out in a cold sweat at even the thought of trying things on in a shop changing room. I frankly would prefer to take things home and then bring them back again, rather than going through the trauma that is a shop changing room. Is this irrational? I don’t think so. Does it create extra time consuming, travel and expense when you have to return the unwanted/unsuitable item? Possibly, but a return trip is a shopping trip non the less, and you might find something else to buy when taking something back, which is always a bonus.…
