Olivia Rubin for Dorothy Perkins sneak preview
The first collection gathered a celebrity following – Una Healy was widely photographed wearing a range of pieces from the range, and now I can bring you a sneak preview of the second collection from Olivia Rubin for Dorothy Perkins. And, in my humble opinion, I think this collection is even better than the first. There are just so many great things I can say about this collection. I love the fact that Olivia has added very pretty knitwear to the mix, the sort of 1950s style jumpers that look great with pencil skirts or black skinny jeans. I love the way classic Dorothy Perkins styles have been given the…

An interview with Hayley Sparkes – Beauty Presenter and Super Stylist
If you have been watching TV this summer, you can’t fail to be aware of the work of Hayley Sparkes. From performing make-over miracles on This Morning, to choosing the most perfect dresses for the beautiful contestants on Chanel five’s The Bachelor, Hayley is a fashion whirlwind who also combines serious talents in the PR department through her role as Director of Gorgeous Star PR. I met Hayley last year at a fab launch she had organised and I can honestly say she is as lovely, as she appears on the TV – warm, down to earth and friendly. And when I asked Hayley if she would be happy to…

Because Hush Puppies have seen a style revolution in recent years, and have emerged with some seriously stylish contemporary looks. Funky sandals,…

Celeb style update featuring Whitney Port, Pippa Middleton and Tulisa
I thought I’d end the month with a few more obtainable styles from some fashionable celebrities. This seems to have been a bumper month for celebs hitting the same shops and websites as you and me. From Lana del Rey wearing River Island as she wowed the crowd at Lovebox, to Whitney Port looking just beautiful in French Connection in a series of press shots, the stars are showing that there is nothing more glamorous than looking a million dollars when you haven’t even spent a million cents. Other stars to grace the high street include TOWIE girl Jess Wright in Gorgeous Couture, Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley in yet another…

Pack Light with Multi-tasking Designer Pieces
If you’re looking forward to a suitcase summer, what to wear on holiday is one of the most important considerations. Packing light can be difficult, especially for extended holidays or if you are headed somewhere with unpredictable weather – picking pieces which tick all the boxes is a must if you want to stay within your budget airline’s luggage restrictions. Pick items which are all colour-coordinated, easy to wash, and can work in both formal and casual situations. Dresses are great for these situations – wear them with tights and a leather jacket when the fog rolls in, with sandals and sunnies at the beach, or with heels and a…
