Style Icons of the Year – Anna Friel’s Stage Door Style
Has any women since the London heyday of Tallulah Bankhead ever had the stage door style of Anna Friel? The actress, currently starring in Uncle Vanya at the Vaudeville, has mastered the art of looking totally captivating every evening as she leaves the theatre after her performance, in a series of immaculate, highly styled looks. Anna’s stage door appearance is now as eagerly anticipated as her on stage one. Every evening, hoards of photographers wait to see what image and era she will be channelling next.

Liberty Prints…Not just for Christmas
If you want to choose a last minute Christmas gift that has history and heritage behind it, then you need to pay a visit to Liberty, or at least to the Liberty London website if you can’t make it to the stunning, Tudor facade, store that dominates Great Malborough Street in London.

Kate Moss style file – Steal her style at House of Fraser
She is my ultimate style icon, a fashion chameleon who always seems to get it just right. And whilst she has moments when she seems to disappear from view, at the moment Kate Moss is extremely visable. A cover for Spanish Vogue, along with some rather risque photographs, show that the ultimate Supermodel has no intention of relinquishing her career just yet, whilst a coveted Vanity Fair cover and interview from the notoriously silent star have filled the tabloids with a dozen stories regarding the Johnny Depp years and have just added to our fascination with Kate. Kate has also hit the promotion trail for the Kate Moss book, a…
