The Brits – best dressed
The Brit awards were just a little bit boring and predictable weren’t they. How I longed for the rock n roll of Jarvis Cocker, Ron Wood and Brandon Block, or even Geri Halliwell in that Union Jack tea towel. The right people won the awards, James Corden did a pretty decent job, but it was all a little bit safe. Still, there were some great fashion looks to admire. Here are my faves.

Retro scarf looks from Liberty London.
There is something oh so stylish about the ability to carry off wearing a headscarf. All those retro icons could do it with ease – Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn all wore their scarves with finesse. And it looks like they may be about to make a comeback for spring, with Karen Gillan and Michelle Williams showing that they can look just amazing for those attempting retro elegance. Liberty London have just launched an amazing new range of beautiful scarves. Some contain their famous liberty prints taken from the Liberty archives, my personal favourite being the exquisite Art Nouveau feather print of the ‘Hera’, but there are also…
