Paloma Faith brings her retro glamour to the Torch relay
Who else would roll up those trousers of the special torch relay tracksuit, put a 1940s style roll to the hair, and then add a rather gorgeous, totally glamorous but dangerously high pair of red platforms to carry the Olympic torch? It could only be that beautifully eccentric goddess Paloma Faith of course. Paloma never does anything less than full on glamour, and the torch relay proved to be no exception. Yes, this event did involve some walking, and yes, everyone else had worn trainers, but Paloma is an old star movie star transported from the 1940s to the present day, so anything flat and sensible on the feet was…

Kate’s Olympic wardrobe – The story so far.
One of the most exciting things about the Olympics from a fashion point of view is that we are going to be seeing a lot of the Duchess of Cambridge, which of course means lots of fab outfits to pour over. Kate has so far been seen in cut price Hobbs, cut price Zara…and CHRISTOPHER KANE! (Cue mega excitement from me!) On Thursday, during the final Olympic countdown, Kate looked very cool and summery in the ‘Wessex’ dress from Hobbs. This was a typical Kate style dress, nipped in waistband and full-skirted, with a pretty grey and white loose check pattern. The dress was on sale for just £35, but…

Matalan Christmas in July Press day
I’m a huge fan of Matalan. I always find really great, fashion forward items there without needing to break the bank. So I was really pleased to receive an invite to their Christmas in July press day, being held in the cool surroundings of The Hospital Club, London. It’s hard to know where exactly to start in describing how good this collection is. Basically, it has all your needs for the Christmas party season sorted, whatever your style may be. From the perfect pencil skirt/peplum dress, to beautiful boho grunge styled evening wear in the form of skinnies teamed with floaty capes, there is something for everyone. There are nods…

New Look sorts your holiday packing
Holiday packing – not that much fun is it? Trying to sort outfits for each day, every few minutes getting those suitcase scales out in order to check you’ve not exceeded the baggage allowance (which for some airlines is now as low as 15 kilograms). Well, what if I said that with some savvy buys you could get away with taking a capsule wardrobe of just 20 pieces. That’s right, 20 pieces. I’m taking a leaf from Gok Wan’s book and choosing pieces that can multi functional and can be mixed and matched to create a range of different outfits. You can get all the pieces featured here from…

Style Focus – Millie Mackintosh
She is the current Queen of Made in Chelsea, the statuesque beauty with a killer wardrobe. Millie Mackintosh is the girl who just always seems to look perfect, whether dressed to the nines for red carpet events, or dressed down in jeans watching her current boyfriend Professor Green playing a gig in some muddy field. I’ve loved Millie’s style since the first series of Made in Chelsea, particularly the way she puts her outfits together mixing High Street favourites and designer pieces. She recently told Look magazine that she loves shops off the Kings Road like Austique or Biondi for ‘swimwear, maxis and accessories’. She has that groomed look…
