Surviving Valentine’s Day as a Singleton
DISCLAIMER: This guide does not condone violence against couples. No matter how smug and self-contented they are. Because Christmas and New Year’s as a single person is apparently not depressing enough, the thoughtful folks in card shops decide to start selling Valentine’s Day merchandise immediately after to ensure you don’t forget to drink two bottles […]
Victoria’s Secret Annual ‘Put Down That Pie and Go to the Gym’ Show
If the image of Rosie Huntington-Whitely frolicking scantily-clad through a forest on the Christmas M&S advert isn’t enough to make you feel horrible as you shovel Quality Street into your face, then behold! The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is here to showcase fabulous new lingerie designs/tip you over the edge. The bevy of impossibly tall […]
Get The Look: Dita Von Teese
I’m a big lover of all things vintage, and how can you be a fan of a retro look without being a fan of the fabulously classic Dita Von Teese? The queen of burlesque also has a modelling career, acting credits, a beauty book and an underwear line under her suspender belt, and she […]
Emmy Fever
The 2012 Emmy Awards Red Carpet was sparkling last night with an array of shimmering, twinkling gowns. For me, the glittering dresses stole the show in the style stakes, followed closely by the girls in various shades of blue. My absolute favourites however, went for both. Here’s a few of my faves, and a couple […]
Kanye West Not In Paris, Not Going Gorillas
A spokesperson for Kanye West’s label DW has confirmed he will no longer be showing his latest collection at Paris Fashion Week. I wonder if this is something to do with the fact that Kanye’s time has been monopolised by reality television and home movie ‘superstar’ Kim Kardashian, or possibly because the collection has […]
This Is Fashion Related, I Promise…
David Gandy is a fashion model, and therefore this picture is in no way gratuitous, nor is it linked to me needing something to distract me from this hangover. Honest.
White Stilettos – Cheap Or Chic?
A few years ago, it wouldn’t have even been up for discussion. I’m not sure exactly why, but for me they’ve always exuded a kind of cheapness and vulgarity (OK maybe not always, I did have some white stiletto cowboy boots back in the day but I’m pretty sure I’ve destroyed all photographic evidence so […]
Looking Good, Baby
This week, singer Adele announced she is expecting her first child. Being very private and unconcerned with the celebrity lifestyle, my bet is she’s not going to be one for tottering around in 6 inch heels at 8 months like some famous expectant mothers. Some think it’s a time for embracing comfort, while others […]
Things I Learned From The Women’s Institute
Aah, the WI. Those two little letters conjure up images of little old ladies knitting, making scones, drinking tea and flower arranging (I’m sure they do a lot more than that, and I apologise for my shameful stereotyping). But the WI has long been a great resource for handy little tips that have definitely […]
“Quick! Get The Back Up Dress!”
It’s happened to me before. You’ve spent hours getting ready, perfectly coiffing your hair, delicately applying your make-up, and most importantly pouring yourself into your fabulous new dress. You hit the town feeling a million dollars, cocktail in hand, commanding the room and scanning the venue, until – BAM – across the room is a […]
