The 70s are back!
I love the 70s. It’s definitely my favourite style decade. I love everything that was stylish about the decade. I love everything that was bad taste about the decade. I just love the 1970s! As a child of the 1970s I adored the girls from Abba, having a much treasured Agnetha doll wearing that satin cat print tunic. I loved Debbie Harry singing ‘Sunday Girl’, the hairstyles of Charlie’s Angels, especially the wonderful Cheryl Ladd, and I loved sequins. I didn’t notice the style icons of the decade that I now revere – Lauren Hutton, Angelica Huston, Bianca Jagger, Tina Chow, The Great Gatsby and Halston. But I did love…

Bad Apple Hair Event at Topshop Birmingham
A couple of weeks ago I attended a glamorous evening of hair and fashion at Birmingham’s Topshop store in the Bullring. The event was to celebrate the launch of the Bad Apple Hair salon based in the store, and to get a chance to look at some of the latest arrivals in fashion, as chosen by the girls of the personal shopping team.

But we are now starting to see some new season pieces in store, along with new pieces that are still perfect for the cold Wintry weather we will have for at least another six weeks or…

Molly Goddard X Topshop
The much anticipated shoe collaboration between Topshop and rising fashion star Molly Goddard is finally available in store and online. First seen on the runway at Molly’s shows last September, the collaboration is a capsule collection of eight pairs of shoes and boots which combine Topshop cool with Molly’s quirky style. Molly Goddard is one of the most exciting rising stars in fashion. Much loved by Uber Blogger Susie Bubble, Goddard’s style is a little like an explosion in a tutu factory meshed with all the best elements of the dressing up box. She loves tulle, frothy ice cream colours and net, but these ultra feminine touches can be teamed…

Your Five – fashion and beauty at Bullring
Your Five is a special fashion and beauty showcase and preview organised by the Bullring shopping centre twice yearly. The idea is a personalised, one to one appointment where you are able to talk about the key trends for the season, and are shown a range of pieces that fit the trend and are available from Bullring stores. The items chosen scan a range of budgets and stores, with Ted Baker, Oasis, New Look, Reiss and Miss Selfridge all represented this time around. You can choose your favourites from each catagory and they are photographed and then sent to your email address, with stockist details and prices so that you…
