Get the celebrity look with Alexa Chung, Lilah Parsons and Lydia Bright
It seems like an age since I have posted a celebrity looks piece, so I am now addressing the balance by featuring some of my favourite celebrity styles that you can find currently on the High Street, or online. First up we have that (now infamous) suede skirt that seemed to simultaneously kick start the current 1970s trend and offer the promise of saving M&S for another season when it was worn by Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung. It is now available in store, but doesn’t come cheap at almost £200 (it is totally divine though, it has to be said.) But, with the price in mind, I am also…

Sunday night we see the glossiest, most glamorous night of the year in television. Yes, it is the Bafta television awards,and this year the ceremony has been sponsored by House of Fraser. In honour of the ceremony, this post is dedicated to some of the best in red carpet dressing, with a focus on some of the best looks in menswear. It is hard for men to shine on the red carpet when we are faced with a series of show stopping looks from the ladies.

Clarks Originals – still a style classic
When it comes to a shoe that is also a design classic, you would have to look a long way to beat the Clarks Desert boots. This year, the iconic boot is celebrating 65 years since the first pair went on sale, and they are looking as good as ever. This is the shoe (ok boot) that was beloved of the Mods, the Rudeboys, and claims to be the world’s most traveled boot. It can never be anything but the height of cool. In celebration of this most iconic of footwear, I was asked if my better half would be interested in reviewing a pair of Desert Boots from the…

Rockabilly Socks from Chattyfeet
Chattyfeet are probably the most fun you can have with a pair of socks. Combining lovely quality fabric with unique, funny designs, Chattyfeet offer character and fun, and make a great present. I was recently asked if I would like to review some of the latest designs, and, as a real fan of the brand, I was more than happy to say hello to the fun new characters immortalized in a pair of socks. The Sock set for Rockers comprises of Danny and Sandy. This is pairs of socks inspired by rock and roll, dancing, and a couple of characters from Grease, although Sandy is definitely more in the Rizzo…

Reviewed – Army and Navy Reed Shawl Neck Jumper
The Army and Navy brand from Howick, which is currently stocked at House of Fraser, is one with a strong and proud British heritage. First founded in 1871 by Army and Navy Officers, the brand has, over the years, expanded and gone from strength to strength, becoming an international success story and offering clothes that are strong on both style and quality, with that mark of heritage which still seems to resonate in the 21st Century. House of Fraser recently offered my hubby Pete the chance to review a piece from their current menswear ranges that include Label Lab, Criminal and Howick. Pete opted for a jumper from the Army…
