Crafty fashion: 5 top tips for designing your own clothes
We all want to express ourselves with our individual look but these days this is not as easy as it once seemed. Fast Fashion means that many stores on the High Street sell exactly the same designs, making original style more difficult to achieve. For creative people though, with an eye for fashion, this can mean that the idea of designing and making your own clothing, and, even selling on your designs through eBay and Etsy, is becoming more popular.

Iconic Style: Flag Clothing
When it comes to iconic looks and prints, those of the flags of the USA and the United Kingdom are pretty hard to beat.

Stylish Television – Little Drummer Girl
Sometimes you watch a series because it is must see television. Sometimes you watch a programme because everyone is talking about it.

Little Drummer Girl is based on a John Le Carre novel and is set in 1979. It is filmed in a very 1970s style…
