So, with that in mind, here are my top tips for getting a good deal on great clothing: Read More »

Do you like to think of yourself as someone who is always on trend? Do you struggle to keep the plastic in your purse when you hit the shops? Well, if you're anything like me you'll be over the moon with the clearance page at Boohoo.com.

Since launching in 2006, Boohoo has become a major online fashion retailer that is now mixing it with the likes of ASOS and Topshop. One big difference between these three clothing queens is the price.

It's not just me that has recognised Boohoo.com for its amazing prices, they've even won awards for it! In 2010 they won a Cosmopolitan Fashion Award and Reveal's Click to Buy Award in the 'best
for bargains' category. Then did the same again in 2011. Read More »

Can you believe it's already the middle of April? We've had weeks of freezing temperatures, snow and rain! Where is this early summer sunshine we've been promised? It's definitely not here yet.

The miserable weather may mean that very few of us have even given summer a second thought but knowing what the British weather is like, it's always best to be prepared.

I know, I know. It's hard to even get into the summer spirit but, after designing your ideal wardrobe without breaking the bank, I'm confident you'll be excited about the sunshine. Read More »

There are a lot of rules surrounding fashion, none more so as when you hit first middle age (watch out for those skirt lengths) and then head into the more mature years of life (plunging necklines a definite no-no.) So it seems that, at the ripe old age of 85, it's about time Minnie Mouse herself let go of the hair bows and bright polka dot frocks and embraced a style more befitting her age.

Step forward designer Alber Elbaz for Lanvin and Minnie's first ever designer outfit. Read More »

The World's Biggest Fashion Faux Pas Revealed!

For many of us, life is spent moving from one fashion faux pas to another, from tie-dye t-shirts to over-sized dungarees and everything inbetween. While we may have had a sneaking suspicion at the time that our experimental looks were more fad then fab, we stubbornly forged ahead with our desire to be part of the fashion in-crowd, no matter the price to our reputations.

Like a flock of magpies always in search of something shiny and new, we flew wherever the next gust of wind in the world of fashion and accessories took us and, once we had reached our destination, we were more than a little bemused as to how we got there. Read More »

The Booby Trap - Are You Guilty?

Okay ladies. How much thought do you put into your boobs? If we're honest, probably not as much as most men but nevertheless, our boobs deserve some respect. From attracting mates to feeding newborns, a woman's chest fulfills many purposes throughout life yet, even though it's been around for 100 years, it seems that a whopping 80% of us aren't wearing the right size bra. If you ask me, that is far too many boobs suffering undue pressure, tweaking, pinching, sagging, squeezing and general discomfort.

However, research from Bravissimo, to honour the centennial anniversary of the mighty brassiere, has found that perhaps we're not entirely to blame; apparently there are no less than seven 'boobs' we can make when it comes to getting our bra size right and 4 out of 5 of us are making at least one of them!

London Fashion Week: The collections I can't wait to hit the shops

London Fashion Week (LFW) is in full swing and while I'm still waiting patiently for my front row tickets to arrive in the post, I've found that the best way to keep myself amused while the cream of the world's fashion elite display their wares, is to earmark the collections that I hope will be gracing the high street sooner rather than later.

Although Bajan beauty and all round international superstar Rihanna spent just ten seconds gracing the LFW stage with her presence for the debut of her Rihanna For River Island range, I intend to dedicate at least a weekend of souped-up shopping to giving the threads designed by the pop diva a thorough once over.

Going Vintage... it's cheaper than you think

Some of my best discoveries have been made on one of my many prolonged strolls in central London; from unearthing the fact that anyone is able to view Britain's national film and television archive at the British Film Institute (BFI) for free, to the fact that some restaurant voucher deals allow the second diner to eat for just £1!

The latest find took place prior to attending a talk in Covent Garden and, after looking for somewhere to warm up with a steaming cup of hot chocolate, I stumbled across a funkier than usual branch of Costa Coffee.

After getting my beverage from the counter, I took up residence on a suitably slouchy chair and prepared to let the minutes roll by until the talk started. However, while staring out of the window with cup in hand, I locked my beady fashionista eyes on an unassuming clothes shop called Rockit. Read More »

Spring is the season of all things new and that includes a thoroughly updated wardrobe. Out go any remnants of autumnal browns or wintery greys and in comes a dizzying array of colourful garments that wouldn't look out of place in a Monet painting.

You see, the joy of the upcoming season's fashions is that it literally puts a spring in your wannabe catwalk step and drags us out of the doldrums of our not-so-high-fashion winter wear. Onesies anyone?

So wave a fond farewell to your cosy knits, slouchy knee highs and snoods and wave hello to suits, sandals and more.

Here are just a few reasons why the words spring and fashion sit so happily in the same sentence. Read More »
