Current obsession – Fashion World Phoebe Jeans
The search for the perfect pair of jeans is a journey that I seem to have been on forever. I need length in the leg, but also love a high waistband to try to give me a little bit of tummy control. I always used to wear bootcut, thinking these were more flattering for the curvy figure, but then discovered the skinnies could also be really good for a curvy figure. But this season has been all about 70s flared denim, something I didn’t think I could pull off…until now. Fashion World asked if I would be interested in reviewing a pair of jeans from their new range, and I…

Beautiful Colours of India
If I was to write a list of all the places I would love to visit in the World, India would be very close to the top. Who wouldn’t want to experience the beauty of the Taj Mahal up close, or enjoy the tranquility of Goa. The spices, the hustle and bustle, and the vibrancy of Indian cities like Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai all both fascinate and delight in equal measures, and a beautiful and colourful infographic put together by Great Rail Journeys has only served to increase my fascination with India even more. National Geographic Society’s Keith Bellows sums it up beautifully in a lovely quote:- “I had been…

Stylish television – Partners in Crime
It seems that Sunday nights at the BBC are determined to transport us back in time to the 1950s.

Jessica Raine plays Tuppence Beresford, a glamorous accidental detective with a wardrobe to just about die for. Partners in Crime may be set in the 1950s, but the wardrobe bares little resemblance to the full skirted prom style dresses and floral prints of The Outcast.

Alexa Chung for AG Jeans
She’s done it again. The supremely stylish and unique Alexa Chung launched her new collection for AG Jeans last week and the collection is now available at Selfridges. Totally channeling a 70s vibe which seems to combine Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday with Daisy Duke, the collection is full of a-line mini skirts in denim and suede, dungarees and kick flare jeans, and pussy bow blouses. I actually think if you combined the outfits of both Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday, you get Alexa’s collection, sort of grown up glamour and geeky youthfulness all in one! With a social circle that seems to include all of London’s…
