Fashion Focus – Rain Boots
Wellington boots, wellies, rain boots, whatever it is you choose to call them, we are certainly now well into the season when these become an indispensable part of your wardrobe. This could be because you love to walk your dog over open fields and park land, or maybe you work in an outside environment that gets rather muddy, or maybe, like me, these are now a staple for watching your child football training in all weathers, including, last Saturday, in the biting wind and rain. I must admit that I love the fun and practicality of wearing my wellies, and have quite a few pairs in my wardrobe. My Wellies…

Style Classic – Hunter Wellies
There are some things in your wardrobe that can be classified as ‘style classics’. The crisp white shirt, a beige trenchcoat, the little black dress, you can probably name a few others. And when it comes to Wellington boots, only one brand really deserves to be labelled as classic, and that has got to be Hunter. I’m not sure why Hunter Wellies have this cachet rather than other brands. British made and sturdy, these boots are the epitome of cool, being loved by everyone, from the festival going crowds wading through the mud at Glastonbury, to the country set who wear them on long, rambling walks through the English Countryside,…

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…

Coachella – full of celebrity style
Coachella always offers the best of festival style. Celebrities turn out in their droves to the Californian festival where the sun (nearly) always shines. This year has been no exception, with Emma Roberts, Kate Bosworth, Emma Watson, Poppy Delavigne and Tali Lennox amongst the celebs soaking up the likes of Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds and Arctic Monkeys. Here are some of the best festival looks on display, and they don’t include a strangely dressed Katy Perry, or the hippy travesty that was Paris Hilton. Diane Kruger always makes festival dressing seem so easy. A simple shirt dressed teamed with classic desert boots and a tan leather cross…

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,…
