High Street Outlet review – Tallulah Jacket
September is here, and the days are already seeming to have a slight chill. So it is the perfect time to add a lightweight jacket to your wardrobe. There’s still a chance of sunny days, but night’s are cooler, so a jacket that can take you from work, and will also be great for the weekend is a shrewd investment buy that you will get lots of work with. Once again, High Street Outlet has come up trumps with the ex Monsoon Tallulah jacket that comes in both blue and pink. The Tallulah jacket has a relaxed boxy style, almost like a man’s silk blazer from the 1980s (sooo Miami…

Miami Vice style in a Pink Crepe Blazer from New Look
The hunt for a perfect pink jacket has been continuing at pace. I totally loved the F&F 60s style, which just looked so pretty over a dress (you can revisit that one here), but I was longing to find something that could be less formal, more at home with jeans, especially now we seem to be firmly entrenched in jacket weather.

The Inspire Dark Pink Crepe Blazer from New Look takes its style cues from the 1980s, in particular it reminded me of the super cool style of Crockett and Tubbs from Miami Vice.…

Reviewed – F&F Crepe Open Front Jacket
I have been looking for a perfect pink jacket for a long time. I love pink, it is one of my favourite colours, and one that does seem to suit my colouring since I have lightened my hair.

Get it wrong and you will look like a lesser known member of the royal family at a wedding, or, worse still, Anne Diamond in her TVAM days. Luckily, the lovely people at F&F stepped in and sent me a jacket that was definitely on the chic side,…

Next Spring/Summer 2014
I was lucky enough to be invited to the Next Spring/Summer press preview last Thursday, and I can tell you, the collection left me seriously excited. It seems Next is having a stylish 1980s moment, and choosing all my favourite colours as a basis for the colour palette, with blue, grey and mustard all being used to excellent effect. I loved the sophistication of the new collection. Biker style jackets in tweed and herringbone style prints, fit and flare skirts teamed with classic white shirts and blouses for a look that can easily transcend work and evening wear. Boxy style jackets are teamed with shorter length pencil shirts in a…
