Great Gatsby Fever with Collection 8
It is almost here. The most anticipated film for both movie buffs and fashionista’s is set to be launched at the Cannes Film festival. And from stills already released, we know that we are in for a treat. The Great Gatsby has been made into a film on at least two occasions, in 1949 with Betty Field and Alan Ladd, and a fashionably iconic but ultimately disappointing 1970s version with Mia Farrow and Robert Redford as the ill fated lovers Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby. Now we are waiting to see what Carey Mulligan and Leonardo Di Caprio bring to the roles. The released stills from the movie, the trailer…

The Best Biographies of Fashion Icons
Readers who want to catch up on their favourite fashion icons now have several biographies to choose from. Ranging from Diana Vreeland to Audrey Hepburn, these biographies capture the intimate portraits of fashion’s greatest icons. D.V. by Diana Vreeland The only autobiography on this list, D.V. was written by Diana Vreeland. This amazing book is full of stories of her bizarre childhood in France.

Like many autobiographies, this one does not entirely stick to the facts. It goes through an exaggerated story of…

When I look at my blog stats at the end of each month, there is always one post that sticks out, a post that consistently gets massive viewing figures despite being almost 2 years old. That post is all about the amazing singer, and, in my eyes at the very least, style icon, Caro Emerald. Caro Emerald demands your attention in so many ways. A statuesque, utterly curvy goddess, Caro has a style that is more akin to Old Hollywood than modern-day diva’s like Jessie J and Rihanna. The Dutch singer has a retro style that is glamorous, intoxicating and just a little dangerous, looking like a cross between a…

Kiera Knightley’s wedding – Rock and Roll Prom Style
Kiera Knightley got married this weekend, and I have to say how much I loved her whole look. Apparently recycling a Rodarte dress that she first wore a few years ago, and adding a Chanel jacket, pretty ballerina pumps and a chain of delicate flowers to her hair, she epitomised the cool and casual, low-key bride – and looked just wonderful. I love so much about Kiera’s wedding style. In the days when excess is the norm (Kardashian’s anyone?), to see a bride looking so fresh and pretty is just so refreshing. Add in the fact that Kiera recycled an admittedly beautiful dress, and then slipped on a pair of…

The latest get the celebrity looks featuring Pippa Middleton, Shenae Grimes and Beth Ditto
If you’ve decided to avoid the crowds this weekend and chill at home, step this way. I’ve been scouring the magazines and websites to bring you a veritable feast of ‘get the celebrity looks’ from a host of fashionable ladies (and a couple of pretty cute babies too). This week I’m looking at Valentino shoes, as worn by Beth Ditto and Bella Thorne, and currently available in Selfridges. But if your budget doesn’t stretch to the Valentino kind, Nelly have an amazingly similar pair for less than £50. Beth and Bella both look beautiful in their shoes, and Bella also wears a fantastic dress from Topshop no less. I’ve also…
