Barbara Hulanicki – latest drop for George
The latest collection from Barbara Hulanicki is now in Asda stores and online and is a perfect transitional collection. Again utilising Barbara’s retro style prints so reminiscent of the iconic Biba collections, paired against classic black, this 10 piece range perfectly bridges the wardrobe gap between Winter and early spring by using jersey style fabrics and longer sleeve lengths. The prints are mainly based on geometric designs, with stretched diamonds and ovals being the key designs. Added interest is provided in the use of metallic threads to give a very 1970s feel – I’m thinking the classic Missoni styling of adding fine gold thread to bright colours. There are also…

Beautiful images preserved on canvas by Canvas Design
In the modern, computer obsessed world we live in, it sometimes seems like photograph albums are becoming a thing of the past. We take pictures using digital cameras, and then store the results online, on our Facebook page, on Google+, on our hard-drives in services like Picassa. The days of boxes of much treasured photographs really seem like a thing of the past. Despite this, we all have that one beautiful image that we cherish and want to display. This might be our wedding photograph, the first picture of our children, a special group shot of the family. A great way to display that much loved image is in the…

Kate Spade watches at The Watch Hut
I have to admit that I don’t feel like I’m fully dressed unless I am wearing a watch. I often go without other forms of jewellery – I don’t wear earrings every day, or necklaces or bracelets, but I always make sure I put my watch on in the morning, even if I’m in a real hurry. That’s why I think watches make the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, and, of course, Valentine’s day. They can be pretty and practical, come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, and are perfect for all ages and both sexes. In other words, they are a no-brainer when it comes to choosing…

Boohoo -#Ownit – shop the Ad
By now you will probably be familiar with the latest ad campaign for Boohoo.com that is encouraging you to not just wear your clothes, but to ‘own them’. The #ownit campaign is all about encouraging people to feel good in their clothing choices, to shop for clothes that actually empower the wearer by making them look good and feel good, and to understand more about how you can shop for your shape. I love the idea of this campaign. We should always wear our clothes – they should never be wearing us. But we often feel obliged to follow trends that don’t suit us merely because they are ‘fashionable’, or…
