In love with Lowie!
A few weeks ago I attended the Forward PR S/S press day and was introduced to the brand Lowie. Lowie are an ethical knitwear/handicraft brand, who will branch into organic cottons for Spring/Summer 2012. I fell in love with the Lowie brand and, in particular, the riviera style nautical prints that will make up a large portion of their S/S collection. Lowie was started by Bronwyn Lowenthal 10 years ago. Since then, she has taken the brand from small market stores to the shelves of luxury department store Liberty’s. Lowie’s emphasis is handicrafts, bringing the likes of hand-knitting, crochet, hand-embroidery and hand-stitching into the 21st century as they are incorporated…

Lydia Bright – TOWIE’s breakout style star
It is fair to say I have come quite late to the phenomenon that is The Only Way is Essex. But, I am now totally addicted to watching this docu-soap that entails the lives, loves and adventures of a group of Essex 20 somethings. And whilst enjoying the voyeuristic look at life around the Sugarhut, I have also become enamoured with the style and wardrobe of one Essex girl. Step forward Lydia Bright. Now Lydia isn’t your typical TOWIE girl. Rather than the body con Herve Leger styles, Lydia is a total vintage girl at heart. Her wardrobe is full of full length maxi dresses, pretty boho styles and original…

Harper’s Bazaar’s December issue announced their women of the year, and the awards ceremony, as you would expect, attracted a very fashionable crowd which included double Delavigne’s, two generations of model Le Bon’s, and a whole host of 1990s supermodels. Here are the key trends from the night. If in doubt – wear black! Daisy Lowe in her ringmaster costume, Yasmin Le Bon defying age, Laura Bailey, Claudia Winkleman, Liberty Ross, Sophie Dahl and Natalia Vodianova, all these ladies had one thing in common. They all opted for failsafe black. There outfits led to mixed results…

X Factor Fashion – Kelly’s back to turn up the heat.
This was a pretty special week even by X Factor standards. Kelly Rowland was back after recovering from the devastating illness that had left her with the ‘worst pretending to be ill’ voice ever. Frankie Cocozza was back to fight another week, and Louis and Gary were most definitely not enjoying each others company. Not all sunshine and smiles, that’s for sure. But this was a vintage week for X Factor style. And with Florence Welch as the amazing musical guest wearing a glorious Art Deco style design,and Mischa B looking fierce in an Oasis tailcoat, this was the best fashion display yet from this series. First Up – Kelly…

Kate – The best looks from the best dressed women in Britain.
Finally, a respected magazine gives the opinion on the Duchess of Cambridge’s style that many of us mere mortals hold. Kate has been named as Number One in the Harper’s Bazaar best dressed of 2011 poll. The magazine says ‘Catherine’s incredible style evolution has gripped us all. She gave us the year’s – if not the century’s – most thrilling fashion moment at the royal wedding, and is shaping up as an amazing ambassador for British designers and the high street.’ I am thrilled at this news. Kate has proved that by mixing the High Street and High end designers, you can create a wardrobe that is full of instant…
