Miss Oroblu, as the name they picked for themselves suggests, are a brand for the next generation. Dawn went to see their latest release at the incredible CSP International headquarters in Milan. The word she brought back was encouraging. The brains at Miss Oroblu have decided to pull the rug from under themselves and start [...]

Today’s post is another in my series of fantastic navy tights. This morning, I spotted a particularly intriguing item that I’ve never given editorial space to, something that combines two of our most loved and intensely popular kinds of items together. Something unique. Pierre Mantoux Connie, the only design that blends lace fabric and navy [...]

I’ve noticed a very interesting new trend emerging in leg wear at the moment. Designers are adding a magnificent array of extra knick-knacks to their work. Some I’ve seen recently are a fantastic example of thinking outside the box. Buttons and pins, attached to the thick woolly fabric of a leg warmer or to the [...]

Apologies to you, the rather agreeable reader, firstly. In my last post, I enthusiastically stated I would be writing about an item I really loved.

My life is at peril. I may not have much time left to finish this post. As we speak, I’m overhearing a Mariah Carey song on the radio. Somewhat sickeningly, this officially makes it Christmas. I don’t gel with the whole “let’s Christmas shop in October, so we miss the rush!” philosophy. That’s what they call [...]

I don’t often write a “Very Best of” post, but it’s just what we need right now. Now is the season of chilling nights and fading light. Plenty of people, myself included, find Winter beautiful, but it’s not much fun when you throw its discomforts into the mix. Now, you could wear jeans, but you’d [...]

Cecilia de Rafael, an old had at tights, a brand new name to us. Well, “new” if not “brand new”. Cecilia de Rafael has been with us for two or three weeks already, but now really is a much more fitting time for me to introduce her. Now, I can tell you exactly what people [...]

Okay folks, enough of this tomfoolery, our Halloween competitions have been a blast, but now it’s dreary November and Winter is upon us. How awful! But today I’m here to talk about one key item you’ll definitely need in order to survive the impending Ice Age. The Robust Winter Coat! Take a look at [...]
