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…

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…

Flash by Jimmy Choo – now at Debenhams
I have a new favourite perfume. ‘Flash‘ by Jimmy Choo is the 2nd fragrance from the famed shoe designer, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Scented with white flowers, and with elements of pink pepper and strawberry, this is a wonderfully intoxicating and sweet-smelling fragrance that lingers in the air long after you have spritzed it. Encased in a wonderful Art Deco styled bottle that resembles a flashbulb, and with a pretty lavender coloured perfume, ‘Flash’ has the look of something you would’ve found on Jean Harlow’s dressing table. But the scent itself has a modern edge, reminding me of the original Juicy Couture fragrance. The strawberry and pink pepper come…

Reviewed – Olivia Accessories Art Deco Bangle
One of the greatest things about being a blogger is that you sometimes get offered the opportunity to review an item from a site you may have been unfamiliar with. This is what happened to me when I was asked to review an item from Olivia Accessories – a fashion jewellery and accessories site. This site is simply choked full with beautiful items that would make the perfect gift for Christmas, the perfect accessory for your little black dress, or just a payday treat after a tough week at work. The piece I chose was the stunning Pierced Art Deco Crossover bangle. This was something that appealed to me as…

X Factor Fash Off Week 6
The latest edition of X Factor proved to be the battle of the boybands, with Union J proving the victor. On the fashion front, the honours were pretty much even again, with Tulisa the clear winner on Saturday night, and Nicole looking wonderful during the live results show. Saturday saw Tulisa go all Downton Abbey on us with a stunning Art Deco style beaded dress from Alice Temperley. This was a column dress that had previously been worn by Shirley Bassey, but it was a classically beautiful look that gave Tulisa an elegance that she rarely exhibits. She chose an interesting hairstyle with this dress that also had a Lady…
