Although the organization of the House of Holland show Saturday night at the Bloomsbury Ballroom was beyond a catastrophe, BitchBuzz was backstage before the show, hanging with Henry, the models, and observing the “magic”.Henry himself was actually quite calm and collected during rehearsals (despite models turning up late) and was his usual charming self behind the scenes, boppin’ and groovin’ to the R&B tunes while the models practiced strutting up and down the catwalk before show...

After the extreme hustle and bustle at the Bloomsbury Ballroom last night for the House of Holland show, this morning’s Welsh Designer Collective show seemed relatively quiet. In fact, it was so quiet; I almost forgave My Beautiful City and Blow PR for their horrendous organization.I went into the Welsh Designer Collective show not knowing what to expect. Where there going to be sheep? Tartans? Perhaps lots of wool? Essentially, I thought of every Welsh stereotype I could muster, and e...

I underwent a wrist operation a couple of weeks ago, which has rendered me useless in the exercise department. I’m not a fan of gyms and tend to do exercise as part of my daily grind; i.e. cycling or more measured exercise such as yoga. Unfortunately both of these have been banned for a good few months by my surgeon due to the trauma they would create, hindering on my wrists total recovery. As luck would have it, I came across The Guardian & Observer’s free booklets on walking and ...

I’ve been swishing for about two years, but up until now had kept it among friends. That was until this weekend, when I found myself at an organised swishing group, for people who live with the same addiction as me. And, my, was it good to share.For any swishing virgins out there, it’s all about trading clothes you no longer want for ones that you do, with the leftovers going to a nominated charity. It’s a way to cleanse and replenish your closet without spending a penny or wrestling w...

While having a handbag the size of a small country seems to have been the big trend of the last five years or so – sometimes having a little clutch is nice, as well. It’s far easier to locate your wallet/purse, lipstick and mobile phone, and you don’t end up knocking over small children every time you turn around.

Despite being evangelical about eating natural, unprocessed food, and using as much natural skincare as possible, I have always been a little more dubious about natural hair-care. I have spent the last ten years tormenting my unruly with heat-styling, bleach and colour, so don’t like to take risksAny natural beauty buff worth their Dr Hauschka will know that you can get good natural hair-care from the likes of Aveda, but at a cost, and while more budget-friendly Lush hair-care smells a...

The introduction of new menswear label Percival came a week or two ago, and the buzz has already started. Perhaps this comes from their pointy cheeked models, who look like the latest woodland stylings of an indie band. One of the trio is aptly named Oxford, or so says our source, Helen Lawrence, who spent the day with Percival's wax jackets and the 'distractingly hot' men.

Men can be pretty funny about grooming products. Some love ‘em, moisturize religiously, and even have their own hair straighteners. Others will moisturize but hide the products so their friends don’t know they’re, like, totes metrosexual.If you’re trying to get your boyfriend or you yourself are a dude who wants to find quality hair and skin products – it can be hard. You can’t exactly ask your buddies what sort of hair product they’d rec...
