Vintage Fashion Finds
It seems an age since I brought you a post looking at my vintage fashion finds, but lately, I find myself wearing more and more vintage pieces. I don’t have a favourite era when it comes to vintage finds, and I tend not to wear them in a particularly retro style, preferring to mix the vintage and the modern to create looks that could work anywhere, at any time. Vintage is still relatively easy to find if you know what you are looking for and where to look. Charity shops often have vintage sections now, or the stuff is just nestling on the rails, in particular labels like M&S (look…

Celebrity shoe trends for Spring
When it comes to looking at celebrity shoe trends, there always seems to be a pattern – that the shoes they wear, particularly on the red carpet, as strictly for those who travel everywhere by chaffeur driven limo. Vertiginous heels that are designed to give you vertigo, Louboutins that require you to sell a kidney in order to afford them, or some sort of strange creation that frankly defies gravity – not the sort of thing you are going to be wearing to the supermarket or whilst doing the school run.

The Return of the Bumbag
There are some fashion trends that shine brightly for a while and then disappear forever. Other trends are more mercurial, they disappear, only to reappear, loved once again by a new generation too young to remember them the first time around. One such fashion trend that fits this bill is the once much maligned bumbag, which has popped up again on the Skatehut site in a range of cool designs. The bumbag was a late 1980s phenomenon, often teamed with a shellsuit and trainers. It was a look that, for a while, was everywhere. But it fell out of favour very quickly, linked to badly dressed tourists who wore them…

November Rain Ponchos – Made for the British Weather
If there is one thing we are guaranteed in Britain, whether it is Winter of Summertime, it is that we will have some rain. Summer holidays, bank holiday day trips, festival season, all of these events can be blighted by the inclement conditions of the weather. So it pays to be prepared, especially if you can do this in a fashionable and practical way. The ponchos from November Rain allow you to do just that, whilst also giving a little bit back in terms of supporting water related charities. The ponchos from November Rain have just launched in the UK, after being very successful in America. The brainchild of Belinda…
