It’s ‘all about’ the red, yep it’s a full ‘fashion alert’ though it won’t be the ‘new black’ it’s a colour that definitely stands out and makes a statement. It’s bold, courageous passionate and powerful. It it’s not easy to ignore (ask a bull…but that apparently is the movement not the colour…) anyway ‘reds the Read More
Is it a question of more ‘trash than fash’ this Halloween? With whole aisles in the shops dedicated Halloween products, you really have to ‘sift through’ to find the ‘fashion’ aspect. Though Halloween is not about fashion as such, it is strongly about attire. So what will you be wearing this Halloween? A white sheet Read More
Walking past a local hotel I noticed that the Wedding Fair was on again and as I was going past anyway, I thought why not? I went last year for the first time, though I can’t say it was extensive…it was ‘Bridal’ and only down the road. It was in a rather grand Hotel on the Read More
I guess it was the ‘wow’ factor that greeted me on my recent visit to my local Lidl. Who’d of thought that Supermodel stardom could be viewed whilst picking up my usual groceries? I have seen clothing at Lidl before, but to be honest never gave it a second glance, it was usually just vests Read More
In search of Unicorns…? Well you won’t have to look far it seems…on a recent ‘sojourn’ down my local high street I had no trouble at all finding these ‘rare’, ‘elusive’ yet Magical Creatures. I started my search, as I wanted to explore what is the ‘deal’ about Unicorns at the minute? They are not just Read More
Was it just me..? That was struck by the very ‘Victorian’ appearance of a Charity Shop mannequin on a recent excursion out of my local area. Straightaway I noticed a number of things…the dark heavy dress with layering folds, the ‘unearthly’ yellow skin and the vacant face…it was kind of creepy…yet fascinating too. So I Read More
I was on the hunt for some summer ‘suitable’ sandals, they had to be beige or tan at the very least…comfortable and of a ‘good make’, plus within my ‘limited’ budget (no tall order here…at all..). So look no further than a car boot sale I went to recently when I came up ‘trumps’ (by Read More
As summer wears on…I cannot go any further without mentioning ‘Bridal’. The tradition of the June bride now passed…does not stop summer being the favourite season to ‘tie the knot’. It’s now…when this lucrative and big business industry kicks into high gear. Even though I’m not going to be a ‘Bride’…I still take an interest Read More
How do you get hold of your own ‘personal icon’? Why by purchasing a bag in emblazoned with their image across it ‘of course!’ It was two enduring icon bags that ‘seized’ my ‘fashion eye’ whilst out and about ‘minding my own business’ as it were…in my immediate locality. Firstly that eternal icon of pure Read More
On browsing a recent Stylist I was rather amused to find some ‘interesting items’ at what price?? Am I hearing you correctly? £78 for basically a ‘blusher’ just because it’s Tom Ford…it may be good but that’s nearly £80! That’s probably more than you get on the dole these days?? (Hey..I’ve checked this it’s currently Read More
Neon nice…forget pastels this Spring! If you head down to your local High Street you will not be able to move without coming across some neon…either a whole colour block, or more successfully (in my humble opinion) neon accents with a stripe or a trim, or even a pom pom ‘here and there’. Neon is Read More
“Those mules were made for walking and it’s just what they will do”…so now for my very first ‘Style On Trial’ mules/’sliders’ experiment. Ever since the Gucci mules appeared (and stormed I might add..!) the catwalk in 2015, it is taken over 2 years for this trend to hit not only the high street, but Read More
So it had to happen..at some point…Beige is in! My favourite ‘go to’ colour is now is ‘all the rage’ (well ‘sort of’ according to a Grazia Fashion Feature I ripped out recently). Yes! Beige is back! My ‘Bring Back the Beige!’ campaign must of worked! This understated colour usually strikes a horror chord in Read More
It all started with BHS shutting it’s many doors across the land…which has escalated to create a ‘domino effect’ down my local High Street…and let’s not forget preceding the sad BHS demise, the frankly shocking crash of Woolworths back in 2008. Walking down my High Street this week, I discovered even more shops have shut Read More
So I’m in a ‘tight spot’ both physically and ‘fashionably’…still not well, and in a form of erhmm…‘exercise’, I was sorting through my collection of vintage tights. I just love the packaging on these beauties, they also have a definite ‘no nonsense approach’ to labelling! With a ‘full panel gusset’ you really know what they Read More
So it happened again…I’ve got the worst ever back pain. So bad..I collapsed..and ended up in hospital…but enough of that, I want to think no more of pain..whilst in hospital I decided to distract myself, to try escape from my current malaise. So I looked back into those old days when convalescence was the ‘very Read More
