I haven’t worn a pair of trousers in over a year. The last time I distinctly remember wearing a pair of jeans is when I sensibly decided to forego wearing my floral empire waist dress when I moved house last spring. Hauling boxes and heavy lifting has never been my forte and doing it in a dress and ballet flats is just ridiculous, right?

I usually don’t get all that excited about designers collaborating with department stores or high street shops to do a special collection for the people who can’t afford their original designs. However, I have to admit that I am head over heels for Ted Baker’s lingerie line for Debenhams, aptly called

Oh leather skirts. You used to be the staple item for trashy biker girls or kinky dominatrixes. How you have evolved. Now you're gracing the bums of many a fashionista out there and I suddenly want you, badly.Leather skirts are a thing to look out for this autumn. We've seen them on the runway for ...

There are three words that can make most women cringe the moment they hear them: bathing suit shopping. These words conjure memories of gross paper “stickers” brushed up against our nether regions, the moral ambiguity of trying on bottoms with or without underwear, the feeling of repulsion when you immediately know that it’s just not going to fit, and if you’re lucky, witnessing teenagers trying on the same suits three sizes smaller and strutting around talking about getting laid in ...

For a lot of women, hair accessories are a thing of the past - something that your mother clipped in your hair before going to Muffy’s eighth birthday party or what was perched on your head on the family Christmas card portrait back in 1989. In the past couple of years, hair accessories have come into their own for us “grown-ups” who like a bit of extra adornment. I dare not mention the word “scrunchie” for fear of being ostracized as old and uncool but headbands, alice bands, barrettes and ...

I am obsessed with Sherlock. It’s the truth. I am obsessed to the point where I will turn any conversation with any given person into a conversation about show. I look my company in the eye with an intense seriousness and whisper, “You watched Sherlock, right?” If they say yes, we hold hands and squeal and write fan fiction together about what we’d...

We all know about Ebay, Etsy, ASOS and Net-a-Porter. But there are even more ways of spending money online. After a recent slip into shopping-mania-land I've discovered plenty of cool online retailers and am now considering hiding my credit card. The high street is tiring. You trod up and down, elbowing your way through crowds of sweaty people with more money than you and eventually end up in H&M buying that discounted skirt that will stay in your wardrobe forever. I avoid the high...

Last week saw the posh, pretty and kind-of irritating Emma Watson chop off her long hair into a short, flattering new crop. Many know her as ‘Hermione’ in the Harry Potter franchise, but this new style has had the media comparing her to Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby - a cut that is still considered iconic more than 40 years on.

For anyone with fine, straight hair that tends to fall flat - the quest for big hair is one that never sleeps. Always the envy of friends with naturally curly hair, my own pin-straight limp locks have always been met with disdain in the mirror. I could not believe my flat-iron wielding friends, furiously flattening their glorious manes of bouncy curls and natural waves. What I would do for hair that gets poufy in the rain and dries into a wild, uncontrollable ball of fuzz, resistant to the ch...
