Clarks and Liberty Arts Prints – they’re back!
One of my favourite collaborations last year was the one between Clarks shoes and Liberty Arts prints. The coming together of two classic British brands was a major success, combining the exquisite retro prints from Liberty, with Clarks great and durable design. Well, the great news is that a new collection has just been launched, with the emphasis very much on the court shoe. There are two major designs currently, the peep toe and the suede full court shoe. Each has a mid height heel, making them perfect as a very stylish work shoe, and there are both patent leather and suede designs available. Also in the collection are a…

Rupert Sanderson at Spartoo
Be still my beating heart! That genius of shoe design, Rupert Sanderson, is now at my fave online shoe retailer, Spartoo, and I must admit that I am so excited. The man who combines the best of Italian craftsmanship with his own unique, and often avant-garde design is one of my favourite designers. And with awards such as the British Fashion Councils Accessory Designer of the year and Elle’s Style Award for best accessory designer, this is clearly a man who understands that an outfit often stands and falls on the ability to choose the right footwear. Spartoo is currently playing host to a whole range of Rupert’s amazing shoes,…

LK Bennett is full of classic, stylish and elegant pieces, and there is no doubt all those words could also be used to describe the actress who has been able to show versatility in a career that has taken her from being a Bond girl (Die another Day), to period drama (a wonderfully romantic Jane Bennett in Joe Wright’s Sense and Sensibility), and the both tragic and comic Helen in one of my favourite films – ‘An Education’. The new LK Bennett collection is all about…

Accessorize – Hot picks for cold days
My gggggoooodddness it’s cold! (That was my teeth chattering by the way). We are expecting all sorts of snow, blizzards and sub-zero temperatures in the next few days. It’s enough to make you want to hibernate for the rest of winter. But, fear not, it’s not all bad news, especially on the fashion front. Accessorize have so many products that are just perfect for the really cold weather in their appropriately named winter shop, these are the sort of accessories that are both cute (check out those earmuffs), and stylish (what could look more fabulous against a black coat than a leopard print brolly.) The Winter shop shows that cold…

Celebrity get the look featuring Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lawrence and Freida Pinto
After the excitement and high glamour of the Golden Globe awards, it’s time to look at some more celebrity looks that can be achieved by shopping the High Street. Some of the looks featured are my interpretations of great style, from Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams and Freida Pinto. Other looks are actually the real thing, to be found in store and online right now. First up is the Duchess of Cambridge. That painting that was unveiled last week sure is awful, but Kate’s French Connection blouse is anything but. Unfortunately, the sale item has almost sold out in every colour. However, there are a few left in…
