Naturally, I’m big on buying my stuff online. I work at an Internet based company and we’re all pretty tech-savvy. Unfortunately I encounter, on a daily basis, Internet companies that just don’t get it! It seems so obvious to me that your phone number should be at the top of the homepage. Are you trying [...]

This is one of the best announcements in the fashion industry for the past decade! I was sick of hearing the constant aloof remarks about how silly it was to dress like Kate Middleton. Her sense of dress is, according to daily newspapers, boring and prudish. Now she’s been named by Harper’s Bazaar, an authority [...]

Yesterday, I got an update on Twitter from one of my favourite blogs. I try to read as many fashion blogs as possible, but that makes it sound like a chore. The Styling Dutchman is never a chore to read! Annabeth is a fantastic writer and photographer. Her posts are fun and unique and full [...]

They take their inspiration from any place where breathtaking art can be found. But most of their influences have been from the Far East this season. [...]

Do you remember that program? I sure as heck do! There I was, 5 o’clock in the morning, Power Ranger pyjamas, spoon poised over a bowl of Rice Krispies. I watched in awe as that crazed Liverpudlian make his Cubist masterpiece with toilet roll tubes, poster paint and PVA glue. He used PVA glue in [...]

Henry Holland. It’s all I’m hearing about at the moment. When Henry Holland releases a range of new designs, they’re usually in our offices and out the door in about a day. It’s the same thing every season. Mr Holland has an unbelievable effect on fashion lovers. Holland’s past seasons have all been manically loved [...]

So, for our first post, I’ll be talking about fishnet tights and how they can make for the best Valentines Day! Fishnets have been very popular for a very [...]
