Style icons – A tale of two Jessica’s
Continuing with my look at the ladies whose wardrobes I would happily fall into I turn my attention to two ladies who share the same first name, as well as the same, impeccable, ladylike sense of style. Jessica Chastain has had a stellar year in fashion in 2014. As well as being one of the best actresses of her generation, she is also a lady I always look out for on the red carpet, interested to see how she sets off that porcelain skin and Rita Hayworth hair. She makes both fabulous and interesting choices, from shimmering royal blue metallics that are the perfect choice for a redhead, to citrus…

Style Icons – Kiera Knightley
I love Kiera Knightley style. She has such an incredible sense of fashion and was absolutely top of the list when it came to looking at style icons who have impressed and truly made their mark. Kiera Knightley style is always impeccable, from head to toe, and I love the fact that she often opts for looks that are incredibly demure – a real stand out in our days of skin and beads looks from the likes of Rihanna and Miley. In a similar way to Felicity Jones who I wrote about yesterday, Kiera Knightley style often takes its cues from styles and icons from the past. Bias cut satin…

Style Icons – Felicity Jones
I am now starting a round-up of people who have caught my eye with their style choices, and I am starting with a lady who I believe will be a huge star in 2015 with her role as Jane Hawking in the Stephen Hawking biopic, ‘The Theory of Everything’, for which she is already receiving fantastic reviews and the possibility of an Oscar nod. I am talking, of course, about the super stylish Felicity Jones. Felicity has a retro elegance that to me brings to mind the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Leslie Caron, a supremely pretty, gamine look that has an innocence that belies her incredible charm and talent.…

Sizzling sales picks from M&Co
It is a well-known fact that the best time to buy yourself a dress for New Year’s Eve is in the Christmas sale. It is also a well-known fact that the January Sales we all used to love no longer exist, with the best sales bargains now all snapped up even before Santa Claus has paid that annual visit. With most delivery dates for Christmas being extended as late as the 22nd/23rd of December, you can still find yourself a perfect outfit to wear over the festive period, or even grab a last-minute Christmas present for a loved one, saving a huge amount of pennies into the bargain. M&Co have…

Review – Planet black tuxedo style jacket
In yesterday’s blog I talked about how a faux fur coat is the perfect cover up for when you are going out for an evening occasion. For some people though, a big coat is not the answer. In these cases, I think a stylish blazer or tuxedo style jacket can work well when worn over a slinky dress, or teamed with tapered trousers for an androgynous look. I have recently been sent a stunning tuxedo style jacket from Planet (part of the Jacques Vert group) and I have already been wearing this jacket to great effect during the party season. It is stylish, easy to wear and is cut to…
