Fashion-Mommy loves -A style review of March Style.
March has been a busy fashion month. It started with the sacking of John Galliano from Dior after his shocking anti-Semitic comments that stunned the fashion industry and public alike. It ended with the launch of Pearl Lowe’s newest Peacocks collection that promises to be another sell out. The month has seen Vivienne Westwood launch her first American store, with a little help from Christina Hendricks, the story of ‘Lucy in Disguise’ told in ‘Lily Allen – from Riches to Rags’ on Chanel 4, and the usual slew of film premieres, launches and celebrity appearances. Here are some more of the things that Fashion-Mommy has loved this month. Star…

Style Icon of the Month-Sarah Owen
Like any fashion obsessive, I have found myself fascinated by the Lily Allen documentary ‘From Riches to Rags’ that concluded this week. This detailed the journey of Lily Allen pop star to Lily Allen vintage boutique entrepreneur as she set up her vintage fashion emporium ‘Lucy In Disguise’. I’ve always admired Lily’s eclectic style, from her prom dresses and trainers stage right through to her Chanel Obsession, but this series proved that Lily is not the only fashionista in the Allen/Owen household. Step forward Sarah Owen. Sarah is Lily’s older half-sister, a former party girl who previously had a fractured relationship with Lily. She has glossy dark hair, cheekbones to…

There are a range of prints, and the colour clashes are a nod to this season’s ongoing trend, with blue teamed with both green and orange. The prints have been sourced from the Wallis archives to…

Creativity on the Catwalk – Fashion,Embroidery and stitch at the NEC
I had a fantastic time on Friday at the Fashion, embroidery and Stitch show at Birmingham NEC. This was a show dedicated to all things fashion and design, and without doubt the high point was an inspiring fashion show entitled ‘Creativity on the Catwalk’. Here are some of the highlights of that show. Butterick/McCall’s/Vogue Patterns Using the best designs from sewing patterns in a range of beautiful metallic tinged colours, this collection featured an array of flirty Prom style dresses in many different styles. There were silhouettes that referenced the 1950s and 1960s, with both full skirts and shift dress styles. Loved the use of raw silk and Vivienne Westwood…

The School Run fashionista!
According to a recent poll conducted by Debenhams, six in ten moms feel pressure to dress to impress whilst doing the school run. More than 1/3 wear heels when they are walking/driving their little ones to school. On average, they spend one hour and 15 minutes getting ready to drop the kids off. Why is the school run now a fashion event? I have a two-year old, and whilst not actually doing the school run, I take my little one to play and stay twice weekly. I started off going in jeans and flat shoes – all the better to get down on the carpet to play with cars and…
