This Autumn, it is fair to say, I am pretty obsessed with fancy tights. In the absence of an exciting new wardrobe, they are providing me with the key to making boring jumper-dresses and the like, that I have had for years, into interesting new outfits.Brightly coloured tights are a staple, as are Henry Holland's range for Pretty Polly, and thanks to the tip-o...

Concluding my round up of textile trends for A/W is one of the season’s sexiest trends: lace. I’d be tempted to say forget about 80s lace monstrosities, but well… there’s kind of a lot of that around. Don’t worry, if the current fashion weeks are anything to go by, this should be the last we see of the 1980s obsession.

Ever since Sex and the City and a gaggle of women's magazines conditioned the names of every 'It-Bag' into our consciousness', designer handbag hire has been available, meaning just about anyone can drape a Paddington or a Motorcyle proudly over their forearm.Hot on the heels of the bag-for-a-day trend is new website Cinderella Me, who are lending out a massive selection of designer shoes, from Choos to Louboutins,...

While I have written in the past about wondering how to wear TuTus and what it would be like to be ballsy enough to wear tulle out in the light of day – I think that now I might be ready to.Well, only if I can get my paws on one of these dresses from Ouma Clothing.

Continuing my round up of fall/winter textile trends, this week it's the turn of the humble sequin. Fashion likes to think it's all big and cool and operating its own little bubble, but the fact of the matter is that as soon as party season rolls around, they love a bit of sparkle as much as the next person.

Alice in Wonderland has always been a particularly popular theme for parties, and with the Mad Hatter Tea Party with Oxfam happening later next month, it would appear that everyone has Alice on the brain.

There are two great things that occur when Vivienne Westwood chooses a charity to promote on the runway at London fashion week. Number one, the charity gains awareness, which is great. Horray charity.This year it was the Prince's Rainforest Trust; a charity that tries to raise awareness of the Rainforest's destruction. Their site has a counter te...

Hey Amber Rose! I thought we had something! When you first started stepping out with Kanye I was really impressed, with him and with you. With him for choosing such a fine beard to cover his tracks* and with her for standing out in a sea of Hip-Hop Honeyz™.

When you hear that runway models are thin, that the fashion industry doesn’t like to eat, and that Fashion Week is filled with pretentious, rude, over-dress snobs –you think that for the most part, it’s just a myth. Surely, things can’t be that stereotypical. Surely the models aren’t that thin. Surely the fashion industry isn’t as icey as Anna Wintour herself.

After last week’s foray into the tricksy world of velvet, this week I’m back to a fabric that I’m a lot more happy with; leather. Ever since Angelina Jolie wore that leather shift on the red carpet, the world seems to have woken up to the idea that leather isn’t just for bikers and perverts. Leather dresses, skirts and accessories are everywhere for winter and whether you do head-to-toe leather (probably unadvisable) or wear it with lace and velvet for a very on-trend texture overload,...
