Bianca Jagger’s 70s style with Boohoo
If I had to choose my favourite style decade, I would probably choose the 1970s. I am a child of the 1970s (born in June 1974, when The Rubettes were number one with Sugar Baby Love – totally love that song!) and love all the styles of that decade, from Glam Rock to Punk.

The Row’s Latest Collection – A bit too much white for me!
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have longed since shrugged off the child star tags to be respected in the fashion world for their collections, ‘Elizabeth and James‘ and ‘The Row‘. Their latest collection was unveiled at New York Fashion Week this week, and was shown to be all white. No, that isn’t a spelling error, the collection really was ALL WHITE. A collection of cleanliness and purity, but one which unfortunately started to blend into itself as the whites made your eyesight blurry and milky. If ever something was crying out for a blast of colour, it was this collection. That’s not to say that there aren’t some great pieces in…
