    Grammy Fashion 2018 – Wear A White Rose

    The red carpet conveyor belt is rolling on, with Sunday seeing the 2018 Grammy Awards taking place. Rock n Roll’s most prestigious night of the year saw a red carpet filled with musics brightest and best, all in their finery, with many holding or wearing a white rose, the latest symbol of support and sisterhood for the ‘me too’ campaigns. The spectre of sexism and the abuse cases certainly could not be ignored, especially with Kesha giving an emotional performance, and Janelle Monae making a pointed comment in her presentation speech. A catagory dominated by women, Album of the Year, was won by the only man in the group, the…

    Fashion Focus – Jumpsuits from Dorothy Perkins

    In the same way that the maxi dress was rescued from it’s Laura Ashley style 70s obscurity, and is now a definite wardrobe staple, the jumpsuit now seems here to stay. I can still remember the 1980s versions, boiler suits, parachute suits that seemed to be more suited to a flying lesson or working in a factory than actually being a fashion item. Early 1980s Scottish Songstress Kelly Marie seemed to have one perfectly glued to her body, and that was more than enough reason not to be wearing them. But how times change. The jumpsuit is now a super practical and much loved part of the wardrobe, and is…

    Style Icons 2013 – Miley Cyrus

    It is quite a feat to be named both best and worst dressed star of the year, but in 2013 Miley Cyrus has certainly polarised opinion. The days of Hannah Montana have long since disappeared, as have the boho period and the glamorous Hollywood look that was far too old for a girl barely out of her teens. This has been the year that Miley Cyrus was the name on everyone’s lips, and she made sure her wardrobe would also be a talking point, for both the right and wrong reasons. Aside from the now infamous ‘twerking’ outfit, which made Miley look nude and encased in a giant condom, I…

    Kiniki – Perfect pieces for a half term getaway

    With half term almost upon us (yes, it really has fled that quickly) many families are looking at a late getaway to grab a little bit of sun. With the nights starting to draw in, and lower temperatures promised by the end of the week, the image of relaxing around a swimming pool catching some warm rays is a very tempting one, especially with our summer suntan already faded. If you are one of the lucky ones planning a getaway this October, you should take a look at Kiniki, and its fabulous range of tan-through swimwear and beach cover-ups.  I’m a huge fan of tan-through costumes because I truly believe…

    VMA’s Best Looks from Rihanna, Miley, Taylor and Rashida.

    The Video music awards are always a great showcase for a range of looks that always seem to take in the sublime and the ridiculous. With the likes of Rihanna and Katy Perry on show, you know they are guaranteed to be anything but boring, and this year proved to be no exception. I have chosen a few of the looks that impressed me, from the edgy new look of Miley Cyrus, to the classic tuxedo style of the ever stylish Taylor Swift (who I can’t remember ever getting it wrong). 1. Miley Cyrus I personally LOVE Miley’s new look. Her punky hairstyle gives her a touch of Pink and…
