If you’re looking for the perfect shoe to go with your new dress, plimsolls probably aren’t the first thing that pops into your mind. Running errands or meeting friends for lunch maybe, but surely not with your new summer dress?! Judging from their ubiquity around London this spring, plimsolls could just possibly be the new incarnation of the ballet pump.

You would have to be living under a rock and colour blind to be unaware of the fact that red hair is, as irritating fashion writers say, bang on trend. From Blake Lively’s copper blonde locks to what Adele describes as “ginger biscuit”, there are plenty of different shades of red that suit many different skin tones.

You don't need that and you will regret having to carry it: trust me.I long for the days when a fleet of servants not only packed your traveling trunks but carted them around for you (sometimes literally). At that time (and in that class) you might have your leather martini case with beaker and matching glasses to ease the pain of waiting for them to unload your luggage and then unpack all the clothes they had so lovingly packed in the first place.

I have always disliked summer clothes. I love warm weather, sunshine and things of that nature of course. But I don’t love denim cut-offs, baring my legs or coming to terms with how much I really ate this past winter. But finally, I can leave the house wearing what feels like pyjama pants. This summer’s silky printed trousers, palazzo pants and culottes have answered my prayers. Never again will I sheepishly have to wear my striped pyjama bottoms under my husband’s long trench coat to buy bre...

After an abrupt disappearance in 2006 from UK shops like Space NK and Selfridges and department store Nordstrom in the US, Stila Cosmetics is returning to British soil in June! Owned by Estee Lauder before 2006, it has been much harder to find and purchase after it was sold to Sun Capital Partners. After my friend Alison and I pillaged our local Stila counter for the last remaining Oasis eyeshadow (the perfect gold shimmer), and stockpiled Watermelon Lip Glazes like madwomen, we never ...

There are few wardrobe woes worse than clothes that gape around the bust. Bravissimo’s new Pepperberry range aims to sort that problem out forever, but how does the collection work out on an average wearer?One of my favourite places to get properly fitted for a bra is Bravissimo. For some years now, it’s also offered a gradually growing selection of clothing, included handy vest tops with integrated bras...

If you're a big fan of satchels, and a big fan of neon, your mind is about to be blown in to a thousand little fashionable piece. Ready? ASOS are now selling brightly coloured (and sometimes metallic) satchel bags from the fantabulous British brand, The Cambridge Satchel Company. I know, the mind, it reels. In dayglow, no less.

Shorts have always gotten a bad rap. I wore them all the time during hot East Coast summers in North America when I was a kid. I stopped wearing them abruptly in my teens when I started getting self-conscious about my weight. I didn’t care if it was 30 degrees outside with humidity. I was going to wear full length jeans, Doc Martens and my adolescent scowl if gave me heatstroke.

Lady Gaga's "Judas" video finally debuted last week, in all its badass biker pseudo-religious glory. Gaga explained to E! News' Giuliana Rancic that the video is a "metaphor for forgiveness and for betrayal and darkness being one of the challenges in life as opposed to being a mistake". She also said despite Rancic alluding to the fact that certain conservative religious groups had condemned the song (and...

If you’ve been swathed in black, grey and navy for the past winter, the thought of donning some neon brights this spring might seem terrifying. How can our pale faces take the shock of colour? Will we glow in the dark? Sure the British weather has been kind thus far this spring but I still found myself hesitating over the green jeans I bought three weeks ago. It was hard not to notice when Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs, Prada and Giles all sent acidic brights down the runway for SS11 Clashing colou...
