The Return of the Bumbag
There are some fashion trends that shine brightly for a while and then disappear forever. Other trends are more mercurial, they disappear, only to reappear, loved once again by a new generation too young to remember them the first time around. One such fashion trend that fits this bill is the once much maligned bumbag, which has popped up again on the Skatehut site in a range of cool designs. The bumbag was a late 1980s phenomenon, often teamed with a shellsuit and trainers. It was a look that, for a while, was everywhere. But it fell out of favour very quickly, linked to badly dressed tourists who wore them…

Festival fashion with a difference from Coachella
Coachella is that festival that will all wish we could go to. Taking place every year, it is the festival that the celebrity fashionista’s love, the one with the glorious weather, the one with no mud, the one where you can actually wear white. It combines sunshine, music, great clothes, pool parties, celebrity launches and lots of glamour. Yes, it is the one festival you can enjoy even if you hate tents! I have been looking at all the outfits from this year’s festival and have chosen my favourite looks. Admittedly, some of these looks were seen at the events that surround Coachella – I doubt very much that Dita’s…

Celebrity get the look with Jessica Alba, Daisy Lowe and Jourdan Dunn
The start of a new month, and a gloriously sunny day, no wonder this edition of celebrity get the look has so many items that are just screaming out my favourite word “Summer”. There are footwear looks from Ugg Australia that were all seen at the recent Coachella festival, including Jourdan Dunn showing how boots can still be made springlike if you teamed them with pretty shorts (her complete outfit is from Topshop if that also takes your fancy). Model Chloe Nygard takes those hen night glitter faves and makes them festival friendly – possible due to the teaming with multi-coloured hair and very quirky shorts. And Coachella DJ Daisy…

ASOS Festival Fashion
Summer seems such a long way off at the moment, as we head towards a Merry Easter where Santa himself could be delivering the Eggs. Yes, the weather is that bad. That said, we are almost into April and the excitement about Summer festival season is already building. Bon Jovi have been announced as playing on the Oak Stage at the bst hyde park this summer, whilst there is lots of excitement about the headliners at this years Glastonbury, with rumours about everyone from The Rolling Stones to Prince appearing at this years event. And, in sunnier circumstances, next weekend sees Coachella, the festival where sundresses and celebs are the…

Coachella fashion – fun without the mud!
The Coachella festival kicked off the festival season this weekend, and as usual it was a feast of fantastic rock chick style. Coachella is the festival that allows fashion to fly, taking place in the Californian desert, in glorious soaring temperatures, there is no need to dig out those wellies and pac-a-macs for this festival. Denim hotpants, cute mini dresses and toe-post Havaianis are all part of the wardrobe, as are maxi dresses = safe in the knowledge you will not be swishing these through mud soaked fields. Here are my picks of this years Coachella style. I am a huge fan of Dita’s retro styling, and think she looks…
