Early Awards Season Sensational looks
Forget all my proclamations about hating January. I mean, yes, I hate the post- Christmas malaise, the cold weather, no Christmas decorations, the lack of money and all round depressive nature of the month, but I had totally forgot about award season, which, for someone who would like to spend every day in a ballgown, more diamonds than Harry Winston and Jimmy Choo glitter sandals, is by far the best time of the year. The Golden Globes will take place on Sunday night, which kickstarts the frocks and the glamour of award season, but there have already been lots of smaller events taking place this week, which have been the…

Daisy Ridley – new star (wars) style icon
You may not be familiar with the name Daisy Ridley yet, but give it a week and this is going to be the girl that everyone is talking about. Daisy is, of course, one of the stars of the movie that is already breaking box office records everywhere – ‘Star Wars – The Force Awakens’, playing Rey, who is described intriguingly as ” a resilient survivor, a scavenger toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku.” But even if Star Wars is not your thing, Daisy has been impressing in areas other than great acting.

Feel Good Clothing
by evocateur We all have favourite items of clothing; things that we keep year in, year out, regardless of whether they’re still in fashion or whether we even ever wear them anymore.

It’s not unusual for people who have gone through a break-up or separation to tear or cut up clothes that remind them of happier times; and doing this can bring about a sense…

Orange – Fashion’s newest obsession
Orange is having a bit of a fashion moment. Wherever you look, it seems likely you will spot that most zesty and fruity of all colours. It has been making its mark on New York Fashion Week catwalk, Herve Leger and Carolina Herrera have applied it to glossy evening wear, whilst J Crew shows why a brightly coloured coat is a must-have for grey days. On the red carpet, it is a smash hit. Abbie Cornish looked so beautiful in a tangerine Elie Saab number covered in embellishments, whilst Reese Witherspoon and Karlie Kloss have both shown how well this most citrus of colours adapts itself to bodycon and classic…

La Redoute Autumn Collection
Fabulous French online brand La Redoute has just launched its new Autumn collection, and it is sensational. An eclectic mismatch of tailored separates and pretty dresses, feminine tulle skirts teamed with stripy Breton styles, this collection is almost Schizophrenic in terms of influences and I absolutely love it. It is almost as if the La Redoute designers and buyers looked at an average wardrobe and said ‘what do women like to wear for a night out?’ or ‘a shopping trip?’ or ‘a family wedding?’ and basically decided to create pieces for any and every occasion, creating a one stop shop of affordable value. Take a look at this key pieces…
