Male fashion Focus – Weekend Offender
The humble polo top has come a long way from the days when it was just an item of sporty apparel. These days it is one of the most iconic items that a man can have in his wardrobe. It is associated with the mod-look of the 1960s, the buttoned down, sharp-suited style of The Who and The Small Faces, and also their modern counterparts, Liam Gallagher and the Modfather himself, Mr Paul Weller. Polo shirts also play a huge role in one of the most stylish modern-day feels, ‘The Business’, where the delectable Danny Dyer wears pastel shaded Sergio Tacchini and Fila tops to such great effect.

With half term almost upon us (yes, it really has fled that quickly) many families are looking at a late getaway to grab a little bit of sun.

Dorothy Perkins currently have some really amazing jumpers that transcend the idea that a sweater is just something you throw on at the weekend with jeans. Jumpers in the softest of colours, with embellishment , with studs and with lace, these are the new…

White Stuff have skirts all sewn up this season.
I was recently given the opportunity to review my first White Stuff skirt. Being a huge fan of their fun and flirty dresses I was really interested to see if they could convert this avid dress wearer to the joys of wearing skirts. I do have skirts in my wardrobe, but tend to pass them over as I carry my weight on my stomach and often think waistbands draw attention to this. However, I had totally fallen in love with Helsinki midi skirt from the Apothecary’s daughter collection, so I was happy to give it a go. The Helsinki midi skirt is basically the perfect Winter skirt. An elegant pencil…
