Backpack's Back
In Year 7 it was practically compulsory to wear a rucksack bigger than your human self, and to run down the corridors tilted forward slightly to let navigation be overtaken by said rucksack.
When I say the word rucksack you will either think of that poor little Year 7 you used to sympathetically giggle at, or the other visual you will get is one similar to this:
Can we please note that this...

Kurt Alert
So as mentioned via Twitter, this is my post following up from my Christmas work experience at [drum roll] the Kurt Geiger Press Office. (3 weeks later than planned, blame deadlines (and me for not starting said work 4 weeks prior to said deadline)).
After spending a little under two weeks in the Regent Street Office aka shoe heaven, I decided to write a little ‘dirt on Kurt’ piece....

F.resh H.ot M.odern
So imagine the look of panic on my father’s face when his nineteen year old daughter comes home from university, LADmag in hand and says “Mum, Dad, I want to work for FHM”. It was probably mostly down to the fact that he had misunderstood which aspect of the magazine I was aspiring to be a part of, and also a little bit down to the fact that he didn’t...

The Coat That Mocked
I don’t care what month it is, premature Winter is most definitely upon us. I would complain but what better a time to use the excuse to do some coat shopping? My favourite thing about cold weather is actually the clothes you can wear (and the accessories, I’ve got my eye on a fabulous eskimo hat). I don’t think its a fair statement that with winter comes frumpy attire. If you...

Life's A Bleach
Okay, so my original reason behind writing this post was to clear up the awkward and confusing conversation I always seemed to have with people when they asked where I got my hair done.
“So where did you get it done?” “Bleach” “Yeah but where?” “Bleach” “No, I didn’t say how did they do it I said where!”...

Taste The Rainbow
Beauty ‘tip’ off alert (pun most definitely intended): Rainbow Nails. Since the end of Made in Chelsea Series One, we have all been craving these ‘kidlike’ nails thanks to the beautiful Miss Caggie Dunlop. Sporting the varnish style throughout the series, she has revived a childhood trend while simultaneously becoming the style role model for laid back sophistication....

Buy Me A River
I firstly must apologise for my lack of ruthless, selective abilities. Above are in my opinion, River Island’s ‘key’ pieces from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection. The fact that I have chosen 16 pieces (this was cut down from my original 35), purely demonstrates the motive behind me writing this post.
When it comes to high street brands, I’m a tough...

The Joy that is The Viceroy
No you haven’t just stumbled upon the Caribbean version of ‘Cribs’. This is the Viceroy Resort in the stunning Caribbean island of Anguilla. To say I have never set foot in a more unbelievable establishment would not be an exaggeration and I’m not even apologetic for how spoilt I sound.
Costing around $550 million to create, you may not be surprised to...

The Only Way is Gandy
It’s no new information that David Gandy is a God. Most certainly admired by women and secretly crushed on by even the straight men, Gandy has earned himself the status of one of the top male models in Britain. If you’ve seen the adonis on the Dolce and Gabbana ‘Light Blue’ adverts, and let’s face it - if you haven’t then it’s really time to get...

Tack is the New Black
Forget the little black dress, the little glitzy dress has been highly underrated. What happened to the days when glitter on your face was cool and sequins could not be overdone? I miss childhood.
I’m specifically enjoying this long sleeved, high hem edition of the mini dress. A more sophisticated way to do legs out and a warmer compromise for winter clubwear. This trend first caught my...

Team Ginge
It’s always the quiet ones isn’t it? It seems we have a dark horse with ginger hair on our hands. (It’s okay, I can say that. I’m ginger too). In 10 years, Nicola Roberts has transformed from ugly duckling in the background of hugely successful girl band Girls Aloud, to entrepreneurial fashion icon about to embark on her solo career.
Impressions of Roberts started to...
