BitchBuzz Review: BPAL's Not-So Bewitching Blends

I've been a fan of the Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs since I was a black-lipstick-sporting teen. Although I've never actually tried their products, until now. There wasn't any question of this not resulting in a glowing review. I loved the brand after all and their friendly PR-department was more than happy to send me a...

Bright & Gorgeous Summer Accessories

While fashion as an industry may take itself way too seriously, there are a good number of companies and brands that don’t. There are some designers out there who still believe in whimsy and fun, and manage to be functional all at the same time. While browsing online, I’ve recently come across a handful of extremely fun, light-hearted bits of clothing and accessories, and they were just too good to keep to myself.

Vodafone UK Sponsors London Fashion Weekend

Going with the trend that technology and fashion have much more in common that your average bear would think, Vodafone UK has announced that it’s now the official sponsor of London Fashion Weekend. While Vodafone may not as chic of an image as Virgin Mobile or even Orange, I still think this is a really interesting partnership. Vodafone say that “thousands” of their customers will have the chance to have 48 hour advanced access to London Fashion Weekend tickets, as well as the chance t...

Quilted Bags: Love 'em or Hate 'em?

The only things that are “quilted” that I am a fan of are actual quilts from grannies and posh toilet paper. However, between the V&A’s Quilt Exhibition and seemingly every brand in the world are currently selling quilted bags and accessories, and I think I might actually be coming around to quilted items, you know, aside from toilet paper.

Nicola Woods and Beautiful Soul

Nicola Woods left a life of insurance broking to follow her dream of becoming a fashion designer. But for Nicola's label Beautiful Soul, fashion is about much more than style; leading designers into an eco-friendly, sustainable future is her priority. I recently had a chance to catch up with Nicola, and talk about vintage, eco-luxury fashion, and what's coming up next for Beautiful Soul...

Summer Dresses, Shoes & Accessories

Summer is here! Or, at least, that is what the weathermen would like us to believe, as they have been ranting and raving about the end of the unseasonal cold snap and the arrival of strong enough sun to frazzle us at a glance. So, if the weatherman says it it must be true, and that is as much of an excuse as we need to jump onto the summer bandwagon (it has a BBQ in the back, how cool is that?!) and clothe ourselves for the season to come. So, what are the summer essentials?

Custom-made Sunglasses from Oliver Goldsmith

Sunglasses and glamour go hand in hand. From Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany, to Ray-Bans, there is something about wearing stylist shades that ups your fab level like nothing else. And while I am admittedly a fan of $10 sunglasses from Target (or $5 sunglasses from Wal-Mart) they don’t exactly have the same glam factor that, say, Oliver Goldsmith Sun...

Tried & Tested: Medik8 Red Alert

My complexion is far from even - it's red and blotchy and thread veins make an unwelcome appearance from time-to-time. Okay, I've just described a rather unattractive alcoholic old man - it's not actually that bad. I just suffer from oversensitive blood vessels - a problem which runs in the family and is exacerbated by cold weather and lifestyle vices.

My Wardrobe's Male-Friendly Denim Bar

This past Wednesday saw me hot-foot it across London to the my-wardrobe.com pop-up Denim Bar launch party held at 38 Carnaby Street. I was very interested to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of what the pop-up Denim Bar was all about and I was very impressed at the invite ...
