A Fashionable Day Out at the Races
The main event at the Aintree festival every year is the Grand National, which always takes place on the Saturday of the meeting. This year, The Crabbie’s Grand National will run on Saturday 5 April, and will attract more than 600 million viewers who will watch it live on TV. But for people who prefer to mix their horse racing with fashion, then Ladies’ Day on Friday 4 April is the day to actually go to Aintree, if you have the chance. In the same vein as Ladies’ Day at Ascot, this is a day for the female visitors to the course to show off their finest outfits, hairstyles and…

A Romantic Grand day out
If you’re ever in England and want to take in one of the British Isles’ most iconic of all sporting events and it happens to be the early spring – then the Grand National is really where it’s at. The race has no equal the world over and is surely the most famous of all horse races, flat or jumps, in the entire world. From a British perspective, the Grand National is up there with Wimbledon, Royal Ascot, the FA Cup final and any other Great British sporting event you care to imagine. It has a magic all of its own. Now for the uninitiated, the National isn’t the most…

Glastonbury – Will it be Wellies or Havaianas?
The crowds are already gathering, the tents are being pitched, and today, as is usual for Glastonbury in recent years, the rain has fallen. Because it seems that if there is one thing we can rely on in the UK, it is the weather not living up to its side of the bargain. Festivals are always at their best on balmy nights, but this is Britain, so it pays to be prepared. With all that in mind, it seems that when we think of festival footwear, we are split firmly into two camps. For those hot, sun-soaked days, the shoes of choice can be little more than a pair of…

Fashion-Mommy meets Coleen Rooney
Just before we all broke up for those Easter holidays, I travelled to Runcorn on a very exciting mission. I had been asked by Littlewoods and Shop Direct group if I would like to interview Coleen Rooney. This was a question that I didn’t even hesitate to answer. YES! Coleen is a fashionista par excellence – a lady who certainly knows her way around a pair of Louboutins or a Roksanda Ilincic dress, whilst also producing an amazing range of fashion forward looks for Littlewoods. She is chic, elegant, and a mommy – I just knew that she’d be a fantastic person to have a chat with about fashion. And…

Glastonbury Fashion – Who shone in the sun?
Glastonbury may be all about the music, but that doesn’t mean that our favourite fashionista’s let standards sleep once they hit Britain’s favourite festival. On the contrary, there are always some fabulous summer looks on display, and this year was no exception. From leopard print coats to little white dresses, shimmering gold sequins and Dolce and Gabbana playsuits, and, of course the ubiquitous Hunter Wellies, Glastonbury 2011 had some serious covetable looks on display. Here are my favourites. Kate Moss and Coleen Rooney got festival styling just right. Kate favoured snake-skin skinny jeans and a shrunken leather jacket, whilst Coleen teamed her shorts with a Barbour jacket and, what else,…
