1920s style – The flapper look.
Way back in 2011, when Jamie Hince presented Kate Moss with a beautiful engagement ring, that ring was a replica of the ring that F Scott Fitzgerald presented to the ultimate flapper, and early example of a wild child Zelda Sayre in 1920. Kate Moss is said to be fascinated both Scott and Zelda, and all things 1920s. Her infamous 30th birthday party was entitled ‘The Beautiful and the Damned‘ after one of Scott’s most famous books. Kate has long been a fan of 1920s styled fashions, these suit her boyish frame and she has been loyal to them since her Johnny Depp days, revisiting the look immortalised by the…

The Best Thing About Autumn Is The Trench Coat
What’s the best thing about Autumn? Is it the leaves turning a lovely shade of gold as they fall from the trees? Maybe it’s the crisp Autumn mornings? The chance of an Indian Summer? For me, it is none of those things. The best single thing about Summer turning to Autumn is the chance to wear a trench coat.

Simple hair tips for styling long hair
Long hair is a blessing and a curse, and while everyone else is impressed and complementing you on your healthy mane, you may be losing arm strength every morning trying to comb out the knots and kinks. Long hair takes a lot of care and maintenance in order to keep it in a good condition that looks healthy and lustrous. In addition, having long hair is no guarantee that you won’t suffer from some sort of hair loss. Pregnancy, hormone issues and alopecia can all lead women with even the most beautiful of manes to suffer the despair of hair loss. This can be temporary in cases, but can also be…

A velvet obsession
When it comes to Christmas 2016, the main fashion trend that we will remember is how luxurious velvet made quite a comeback. It is always a fabulous fabric for Christmas, with its roots in the stunning red velvet capes that we imagine Victorian children wearing. Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian have all fell under a velvet spell, whilst just last week Kate Moss opted for classic black velvet at the British Fashion Awards. Velvet is having a beautiful, fashion moment. I’ve been having my own velvet moments this Christmas. It is a fabric that I always reach for as soon as the Christmas Tree…
