Get the celebrity look with Alexa Chung, Lilah Parsons and Lydia Bright
It seems like an age since I have posted a celebrity looks piece, so I am now addressing the balance by featuring some of my favourite celebrity styles that you can find currently on the High Street, or online. First up we have that (now infamous) suede skirt that seemed to simultaneously kick start the current 1970s trend and offer the promise of saving M&S for another season when it was worn by Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung. It is now available in store, but doesn’t come cheap at almost £200 (it is totally divine though, it has to be said.) But, with the price in mind, I am also…

Festival styling by Boden
If I’m being truly honest, Boden would not necessarily be the first place I would look for festival friendly clothing. It doesn’t immediately spring to mind when you think of Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Ellie Goulding style Glastonbury wear. But this is the season that Boden has emerged as a new contender for festival fashion, with an eclectic collection just released that is dedicated to pieces that will look perfectly at home in a muddy field this summer. With pieces christened ‘Boho’ ‘Festival’ and ‘Glastonbury’, Boden has definitely got caught up in the summer music mood. Classic Festival style Boden has taken the elements of classic festival style, and has…

Get designer looks from Asda George this Spring
The new season from supermarket giant George at Asda seems to have a distinctly designer flavour. Full of gorgeously girlie sorbet shades, this collection is simply full of pieces that bring to mind the pretty collection that Burberry sent down the catwalk last Autumn for S/S 14. That collection, if you recall, was full of beautiful lace and sheer fabrics, in soft pinks, mint greens and lavenders. The look was one that was surprisingly covered up, shirts were buttoned up to the neck, skirts were midi length and there were some fantastic coats and jackets, all in the most ice cream of colours. Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn rocked this…

Alexa Chung style in Clarks Originals
If I had to pick my favourite shoe era, it would probably be the 1970s. I am kind of besotted by the idea of chunky wooden platforms, Scholl style sandals and any other summer shoes that are far removed from the Gladiator, strappy style sandals we live in today. And all this probably explains why I am such a fan of Clarks Originals. Alexa Chung is another lady who seems to be at home in the sort of sandals I remember wearing as a little girl. Her feet are constantly adorned with the sensible strapped flat sandals that make you think of scuffed knees and grass stains, and yet just…

Four fabulous floral frocks from Dorothy Perkins
Summer is the time to embrace all that is pretty and floral. Even when the weather isn´t brilliant, a dress in full bloom can make your day seem full of sparkle and sunshine. Whether you are a sucker for the fullest of blooms, or prefer the retro elegance of chintzy forties tiny flowers, floral dresses are pretty and versatile. And you don´t need to be a girly girl to really enjoy them. Witness Alexa Chung, who rocks an oh so girlie dress with boots or brogues, or Kate Moss, who can toughen up a girlie flower power frock with a biker leather. Here are some gorgeous new in frocks from…
