The British High Street is one of the best things about shopping in the UK. In North America I struggled to find affordable, directional clothing that inspired me to get out my credit card. Most of the time, even in New York, many of my friends found that finding original, well-designed clothing can get really expensive and isn’t easy on a budget.

One of the most striking trends for Autumn/Winter 2011 is the surprisingly named "fetish". A monochrome mix of black leather, straps, sheer fabrics and visible lingerie, along with a dash of mess-with-me-and-I'll-hurt you; this is the trend to bring out the Domme in us all. However, it could be a tricky look to pull off without looking like like you haven't bothered at all, or ending up like an extra in a Rihanna or Lady Gaga video. Especially when you only have the high street to hand.

Apparently this season we're all meant to be unleashing our wild side, with faux fur, leopard print and snakeskin – all worn together. It's true.If you’re anything like me, the mere notion of leopard print or anything remotely animal themed, hails connotations to Bette Lynch off Coronation Street circa 1985. But breathe a sigh of relief as animal print and all things animal receives a modern and stylish update for 2011. Still not convinced? Then look towards catwalk ...

Dressing like a lady can be a real rarity nowadays. Anyone who loves to watch costume films has muttered under their breath about how they wished society still enjoyed dressing up like ladies and old school gentlemen. The corsets, bustles, full skirts, hoop skirts and hair ornaments - getting ready in the 19th century was a production in itself.

Over the years, I’ve gone to great lengths to improve the appearance of my skin, hair and nails – but of all the things I’ve tried, namely expensive products and treatments, it has been the inclusion of a number of ‘superfoods’ to my diet that has made a real difference. Some of these foods are nutrition powerhouses - that is, ounce for ounce they contain more vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals than other foods, or they bring hard-to-get nutrients to the table. Because of their tas...

If shopping at Primark isn't your bag, but you can't afford Topshop's increasingly arrogant prices, you'll be pleased to know that Forever 21 has finally, finally come to Oxford Street in London.

What is it about a handbag that makes a woman pay over £1000 pounds for it? I like to think that I’m an unpretentious person, not designer or label obsessed although I do love fashion and appreciate quality design. Saying this though, my obsession with handbags leads me to buy a whole lot of bags but never to buy a super expensive designer one.
