Queens of Daytime Sequins
One of the nicest things about the festive season is the chance to wear sequins and glitter in daylight hours. Over the Christmas period I have sparkled like a Christmas tree most days, without feeling self conscious or silly. But I’m now thinking that daytime sparkle is the way to go. January is such a dull, depressing month full of Christmas malaise that it seems the perfect way to brighten up the bleak midwinter days is by adding a touch of daytime sparkle to your outfits. Many key fashion icons already adhere to daytime sparkle. Kate Moss adds it to all her festival looks, whilst Anna Della Russo sparkles on…

Fabulous Florence opens the Harrods Sale
I am slightly obsessed with Florence Welch. I often find myself musing on whether she came to us through some time travelling portal. Did she slip in via some 1970s Ossie Clark/Thea Porter time travel wardrobe, swathed in hippy goddess threads and long Titian hair? Maybe. Or maybe she was a long lost star of the 1930s, an Art Deco goddess in the style of almost forgotten actresses like Kay Francis and Eleanor Powell,waltzing around in swathes of bias cut silk and furs, emoting elegant suffering at the hands of Cary Grant and Ronald Coleman. After seeing the glamorous star opening the Harrods sale today, I’m inclined to think the…

Kate sparkles Like Mulled Wine at Sandringham
We have been hearing stories about Kate Middleton’s five outfits on Christmas Day, and at Sandringham Church we were treated to a good look at one of them. Kate chose a gorgeous berry shaded frock-coat that has been described as being designed by an independent British Designer, but which reminds me of a Katherine Hooker style that Kate has worn previously. Collarless and belted, this longer length coat looked supremely elegant when compared to the rather short styles some of the Royal ladies chose to wear to church. Kate teamed it with a jaunty hat from Milliner Jane Corbett. This kept the outfit looking young and fun, whilst opaque style…

Peacocks new collection – Girl Meets Boy
Now we’ve waved goodbye to the Christmas day for another year, many of us will be thinking of the New Year’s collections. It is always great when we start to see something new and exciting hitting the rails, a mixture of new shades and trends. An email from Peacocks hit the inbox this morning that gave me a peek at their new season collection, entitled Girl meets Boy. This is a collection filled with extremes, from androgynous shirts to pretty skater style dresses. A smattering of animal print, and a must have waterfall draped jacket makes this a great capsule collection for you to admire and add to your wardrobe.…

Style Icon of the Month – Sarah Jessica Parker
There was only one choice for the style icon to round off the year. Sarah Jessica Parker has looked totally fabulous the whole month through, attending a whole host of occasions and on the premiere trail for new movie, New Year. From vintage Pauline Trigere, Theyskens Theory and Louis Vuitton, she has shown over and over again why she is one of the most iconic fashionistas of all time. Her looks have ranged from princessy feathers to funky coloured tights. DVF 60s style mini dresses to white lace chic Stella McCartney numbers, there is no limit to SJP’s scope for reinvention. My favourite dress is the early 1960s style black…
