What with the release of the new Chanel film this weekend – read Cate’s excellent review over on BitchBuzz Culture – it’s no surprise that Coco’s classic French style is all over the place right now.

This week, the lie-mongering Met Office finally confirmed what we could already see before our very eyes: Unlike the glorious sunshine we were promised this summer, British weather is at its all time shittest, and it's not getting any better. Rain, clouds, wind AND humidity, we'd be better off if it was fucking winter.

On the eve of my very first baby shower (not mine, OBVIOUSLY, I mean as a guest, are you mad?), I happened upon this picture of Mel B’s little girl, Angel. I’m not normally one to waste my time on celebrity babies ( was revising for the ‘guess the celeb baby’ game, if you must know) but looking as this picture got me thinking (in a vaguely Carrie Bradshaw fashion): is it OK to have a child for the sole purpose of making it look like an idiot?

Tomorrow evening, at precisely 6pm, London's Kings Cross St Pancras station will be overcome with elegance, decadence and monochrome, as the Chanel 'Fashmob' snakes stylishly through the station. The event co-incides with the release of Coco Before Chanel, a new biopic of the infamous designer starring Audrey Tatou.

Mmm, now I am all for this whole ‘recessionista shopping’ thing that everyone is talking but the great thing about the twice yearly Fashion Weeks are that they do make for a nice escape from the whole sales tag bargain bin hunt that we shoppers have become obsessed with during the credit crunch. Even if I can’t afford a single item that sashays its way down the catwalk, I still like the whole expensive and lavish vibe experience of Fashion Week. Well, for those of you that perhaps don’...

Call it the Balmain effect (everything’s the Balmain effect these days – ripped jeans, sequins, studs, breathing) – but shoulders are seriously big news for the first time since about 1989. Literally big. Whether they’re under the guise of the ‘statement silhouette’, the ‘dramatic detail’ or just ‘shoulder pads to power of 10000’, it’s time to rifle through your mum’s wardrobe and embrace the large and in charge Maggie Thatcher look.

Back in 2006, I discovered a sort of underground shop on the East Coast called Johnny Cupcakes.It was love at first sight.Since the good ol' days back in 2001 when he used to sell T-shirts out of the trunk of his car, Johnny Cupcakes has since opened a shops in Boston, Hull, Massachusetts, and LA. The sheer amount of their merchandise has expanded incredibly, an...

There are a lot of good reasons to make your own clothes and accessories. You will undoubtedly save money, you can make to your exact measurements for a perfect fit, and most of all, you won't end up one of the seven girls down the pub wearing the latest Topshop dress to be featured in Grazia.Not all of us however, are blessed with amazing seamstress skills, and getting started can sometimes be a bit tricky. If you are nodding your head to all the above, a new series of workshops by

Russell Brand’s ‘fashion sense’ has been called to question on numerous occasions. The womanizer’s penchant for jeans (and leggings) that are so tight you can see his penis has caused uproar with Daily Fail readers, and his bird’s nest hair has inspired a million indie-boy imitators. The self-proclaimed goth has a dedication to the colour black/fashion that’s admirable, but his holiday gear, as pictured here, is questionable.

Now, I am all for a little...visual enhancement. Well a girl has got to look her best at all times right? I can’t count the hours I have spent looking in the mirror wishing and hoping that my eyelashes would grow just that little bit longer to achieve that ‘bambi-eyed’ look all the disgustingly gorgeous girls get described as.
