New Look S/S Press Preview – All about the Jewels
The New Look press days are always great fun, with rails and rails of items your wardrobe is just crying out for, but at the Spring/Summer Press day held last week, it was the accessories that really had me gasping, and in particular, the jewellery. In recent seasons New Look have really set the bar high in terms of highly desirable costume jewellery that comes with a very reasonable price tag. The Spring/Summer collection is just stuffed with real statement pieces, gorgeous necklaces designed to jazz up any outfit, statement earrings that Beyoncé would just kill for and bracelets and earrings that were designed for every occasion, from High Tea…

Zatchels and Hello Kitty – a match made in Fashion Heaven
The cutest, sweetest fashion collaboration of the year has to be the one between that most stylish of Kitty Cats, London born Hello Kitty, and the greatest thing to come out of Leicester since Gary Linekar, Zatchels.

But they are totally beloved by the A list fashionistas, with Madonna, Alexa Chung and Beyoncé just some of the lovely ladies whose feet have been…

Introducing Gudrun Sjoden…
The title is a little bit naughty to be honest, because if you live in Sweden, where Gudrun Sjoden was born, or in much of Europe, where the brand is well established, Gudrun has been a well-known name for many years, opening her first boutique in Stockholm as early as 1976. The label is not so well-known in the UK, but I think this is all set to change. The first UK boutique has opened in London and is just so pretty that you must pay a visit, whilst the latest ranges are sure to appeal to anyone with a love of labels like Boden and White Stuff. I was…

Then why don’t you take a look at some of the shoes sported by those stars of the festive season, the panto characters? Not convinced? Then read on… Principal Boy = Irregular Choice The Principal Boy has always been traditionally played by a pretty girl, often in a rather short costume and some form of shoe boots.
