Maybe it’s because summer is approaching, and with it my dreams of diving from a yacht into turquoise Mediterranean water. Maybe it’s because blue, white and stripes channel that effortless Parisian chic most of us hope to emulate. Or maybe it’s just because no matter how you wear it or what you wear it with [...]
I’ve been spying these kinds of awesome ear cuffs around the net for a while. (via Pinterest/Who What Wear) I waited faithfully for a long time for them to start appearing on the British high street but, alas, they didn’t come (or at least I didn’t see them). So it was one Saturday, before I [...]
Florals have been around for a while but they’re everywhere this season. You may remember it was one of the key trends I picked out for spring and summer. They’re even being worn head to toe – accessories and all – which may be a little much for me. I’m not normally one for bearing [...]

Last week I was invited along to the spring summer 2013 fashion show put on by Harvey Nichols Leeds. The city’s grand Victoria Quarter was a fitting backdrop for some of the new season clothes from the likes of McQueen, Diane Von Furstenburg, Mary Katrantzou and Burberry. Though undercover, the show was nonetheless outside and [...]
There’s been a bit of a debate going on around the fashion weeks that seems to have started with Suzy Menkes’ piece for the New York Times’ T magazine in which she bemoaned the “cattle market” of “showoffs” waiting to be snapped outside shows. It is certainly true that what goes on inside on the catwalk [...]
Last week I blogged about some of the biggest fashion trends seen on the spring summer 2013 catwalks.
