Terry Di Haviland – The Rock & Roll Cobbler celebrates 50 years in shoe business.
The self-styled Rock & Roll Cobbler is celebrating 50 years in the business with a special pop-up exhibition in London’s Selfridges. Terry Di Haviland is a shoe genius, designing those iconic platform wedges worn by the likes of Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Cheryl Cole, so I popped along to Selfridges yesterday to look at some of those iconic designs. I have been a fan of Terry ever since I saw a glossy and groomed Kate Moss wearing his wedges on one of her famous birthday celebrations. I fell instantly in love with the shoes, but not being able to afford the £300+ pricetag, I searched the High Street for…

July is turning out to be an interesting month style wise, not least because it is the month when retro styling is embracing so many different eras. Just flicking through some magazines and trawling websites I was amazed to see celebs wearing a range of great looks that span from the 1950s right up to the 1990s. Have a look through these and see if agree that for July 2011, anything goes. 1950s – Kelly Brook in Ischia Not always a fan of her sometimes cartoonish look, but I absolutely adore this 1950s style print sundress. This is so Roman Holiday, and I love the clashing print of her Gucci…

Kate Moss’s amazing Rock n Roll wedding!
She finally did it..and she did it her way! Kate Moss, the eternal bachelor girl, finally tied the knot yesterday with her rocker, and she looked absolutely amazing. Kate wore a beautiful vintage style dress by her troubled friend John Galliano for the wedding. This had a real 1920s feel, which tied in with Kate’s obsession with all things ‘beautiful and damned’. It was sleeveless and bias cut, rather like a decadent evening dress, and the hemline shimmered with rhinestones and gold leaves. There was a small train, and the veil and headpiece was reminiscent of that worn by The Queen Mother for her wedding to The Duke of Young…

A summer of Roksanda Ilincic
In the month she unveiled her 2012 Cruise collection with the brief ‘Effortless Glamour’ it seems fitting that Serbian Born, London-based designer Roksanda Ilincic should transfer some of that glamour to the High Street. Her first capsule collection for Debenhams has just been launched, under the RI label. This is an evening wear collection made up of five different styles of dress, from chic cocktail styles to full length and fabulous draped gowns. After viewing the collection, I can truly say that I’m in love. Using a pallet of black and white as a base, this is a stunning collection of utterly wearable yet totally glamorous dresses. From chic but…
