White Stuff Emma Bag….and why you should abandon trousers…
A really lovely, and totally true story. I’ve long been a fan of White Stuff, literally since they opened their first Birmingham store a few years ago, and so I always looks out for their newsletters with a real anticipation of what they will contain. A few weeks ago I got an email announcing the arrival of the ‘Emma’ bag, and have to admit that I feel in love immediately. After all, I’m sure Lana Del Rey and Jessica Stam could agree that having a bag named after you is a rather lovely thing. (ahem). I tweeted White Stuff, saying how I was going to have to get the…

The Grammys – Superstar looks to love
After the BAFTAS, we had the Grammys. Another red carpet, with a slightly (ahem) different aesthetic. Because if the toast of Hollywood were sparkling on a rain-soaked red carpet in London, the creme de la creme of the music industry were rocking and shocking in LA. And there were some shocking outfits, not the least of which was Adele. Now, we have all been crying out for her to add a little colour to her wardrobe, and when you hear red and pink Valentino you have to believe she has made the perfect choice. Wrong! Adele’s dress was the worst kind of 1970s candlewick bedspread, so terrible I was crying…

BAFTAS – My Best Dressed
I have to say that this years BAFTA awards was one of the most enjoyable in years. Stephen Fry was on great form presenting, and the Hollywood contigent was almost in full attendance, making this a super glamorous and starry eyed occasion. It was also one of the best dressed award evenings I have ever watched, with just so many fantastic looks, ranging from super elegant to super sexy. I’ve decided to focus on my favourite dresses from this years ceremony, so there are no places for Anne Hathaway (fine, but a tad dull in Burberry), Andrea Riseborough and Marion Cotillard (who wore the same, gorgeous shade of yellow in…

Stylish Television – Dancing on the Edge
The most exquisitely clothed drama of the moment must be ‘Dancing on the Edge’, Stephen Poliakoff’s absorbing story of the rise of a Jazz Band in the London of the 1930s. Featuring royalty, millionaires, ‘it girls’ and a whole host of beautiful people, and set in the glorious Art Deco surrounding of ‘The Imperial’, Dancing on the Edge is super stylish as only a series set in the midst of the bias cut world of the 1930s can be. The Louis Lester band find success, due in no small part to the allure of the bands female singers, Carla (played by Wumni Mosaku), and in the lead vocalist role, Jessie…

Colour Pop shoes from Clarks
As all our fashion heroines know, a great way to add colour to your wardrobe is with a pair of colour pop shoes. Even the dullest outfit can be transformed with a totally standout shoe, and it is a great way to inject brights into your wardrobe if you wouldn’t feel confident wearing a red dress, or a neon pink top. From Kate Moss to Beyoncé, stylish ladies everywhere have been adding a splash of colour in the shoe department for a long time. You can colour match, or colour clash, or dress down in black and add a colour splash. (A poet and I really didn’t know it). Clarks…
