Pippa Middleton attempts lumberjack chic…with mixed results.
It seems that not a day passes when we are not treated to another look from the bulging Pippa Middleton wardrobe. And whether she channels casual styling or chic workwear, there are always covetable items that I would like to add to my own wardrobe. But sometimes Pippa makes fashion mistakes, just like the rest of us, and maybe her attempt at grunge style lumberjack chic was just that. This was an outfit that made me smile…and then frown. I loved the Zara lumberjack shirt, I used to wear a red plaid one very similar to this in my grungy days, and the skinnies also look great on Pippa’s slim…

Halloween – a feast of dark and gothic looks
The witching hour is almost upon us and the looks on show are decidedly dark and gothic. With Kristen Stewart and Daphne Guinness as muses, along with the high interest in Twilight sequels and all thinks vampire, there is a real fashion interest in the dark side.

So embrace a bit of black magic and make this Halloween the most spooky, and yet most stylish ever. Poster girls for Gothic Glamour. Here are some of the key picks for the Halloween trend. This Miss Selfridge maxi dress…

Kate Moss returns to the catwalk…and heralds the return of white in your wardrobe.
We’ve only just stopped talking about her last appearance on the Marc Jacobs/Louis Vuitton catwalk, the one where she appeared to be wearing support pants and was smoking a cigarette on National No smoking day. And now Kate Moss has returned to the Louis Vuitton catwalk, and this time it was apparently at her own request. If Kate shocked on her last appearance, this time she just looked extraordinarily pretty. The Spring/Summer collection for Louis Vuitton is a frothy, candy floss confection of early 60s style dresses which were modelled on the biggest carousel Paris had to other. This was a sweet and girlie collection, that made the most of…

Win! With White Stuff and Fashion-Mommy.
As regular Fashion-Mommy readers know, I’m a huge fan of White Stuff, the British High Street brand with an emphasis on quality and originality. I have been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the Winter collection that will be hitting stores later this month and have to say it is absolutely gorgeous. Warm, cosy and with an emphasis on the sort of chunky knits that have you dreaming of snowy days, I think White Stuff clearly has another winning collection on its hands. The images above are from the White Stuff Winter magalogue, the White Stuff version of a catalogue, that comes complete with stories that turn it…

Hot from The Look Show runway – Next’s new looks.
Next was one of the main stars of The Look runway show that was held in the new Stratford Westfield shopping centre at the end of November. They focused on three key themes for Autumn/Winter party looks, which encapsulated a range of styles, from the sexy chic of a little black dress, to the androgyny of a smart tuxedo. And there was the ultimate goddess maxi dress that could take you from the coolness of Autumn evenings to the depths of the Christmas party season with ease. So, take a look at these key styles and tell me – which girl are you? Look 1 The Next take on the…
