Miracle on Regent street – An interview with Ali Harris
I always read a festive story as the countdown to Christmas begins. And just sometimes I read a story that I get so involved in that I just can’t put it down. That’s how I feel about the wonderful, heartwarming story that is ‘Miracle on Regent Street’. The story of a fallen on hard times department store, and the stockroom girl determined to transform its fortunes, and, just maybe, her own, this is a story that only a real life Scrooge could fail to love. I adored the tails of the long forgotten vintage stock, the hand-made soaps that take on iconic status, and most of all I loved each…

TOWIE’S Lydia and Miss Selfridge…a match made in fashion heaven
My favourite TOWIE star, Lydia Bright, has recently collaborated with one of her favourite stores, Miss Selfridge, to identify a list of her top Miss Selfridge picks – the ‘Lydia Loves’ collection. This has proven to be a match made in heaven, as Lydia has exceptionally good taste when it comes to style, and is a perfect model for putting together great High Street looks. Already a fan of Miss Selfridge, often wearing their looks for public appearances, Lydia looked fantastic when she appeared at the Lakeside store wearing the gorgeous black floral embellished dress teamed with a floppy caramel hat. This was a great early 1970s look that suited…

Kate shines in Mulberry at Palace Bash
This week saw another appearance from the Duchess of Cambridge, this time meeting the press at a Buckingham Palace engagement hosted by The Queen. Kate plumped to wear a beautiful jade green dress from iconic British label Mulberry.

The dress in question was the bright Cabbage, Peace and Love dress,that costs a staggering £1,400. The dress was one of those featured in the A/W Mulberry campaign ads and is a…

Style Icon of the month – Lana Del Rey
Maybe she is a recreation, with newly inflated lips and a retro image. Frankly I don’t care. She has the most amazing voice and in Video Games, one of the best songs and videos of the year. She also has truly incredible personal style. I am of course talking about Lana Del Rey, who is my style icon for the month of November. Lana has an old-fashioned film starlet feel. Huge eyes and the most talked about lips of the moment are teamed with Brigitte Bardot/Claudia Cardinale lustrous hair. And then there’s the clothes. Lana describes herself as a ‘gangsta Nancy Sinatra’ and could well be her best judge. Her…

The Gucci Dress everyone wants to wear.
This season there has been one dress that everyone has wanted to wear. From the fabulous Florence Welch, to Zoe Saldana, and by way of Evan Rachel Wood and Camilla Belle, this dress has graced a host of show-business parties, sometimes at exactly the same time. I am of course talking about the Gucci, Boardwalk Empire inspired flapper dress, with its striking Art Deco style gold and black colouring, and with its shimmering fringing that just evokes images of girls with Marcel Waved hair, Mary Jane shoes and bathtub and bottle parties. This is the sort of dress that made the 1920s roar, and I absolutely love it. The High…
