Everyone, it seems, is wearing the ‘PEPLUM’ Kate Middleton (The Duchess of Cambridge) Emma Stone and Jennifer Aniston all in the peplum mode. Frilly, feminine and a hot new trend… suggested by fashionistas as flattering, probably true if you are in fact a stick insect or one of the above lovely ladies. Paris Fashion Week, which is let’s face it the crème de la crème of all the fashion weeks, have designers like Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Valentino showing their Spring 2012. Gay ‘Pariee’ showed that pretty peplums are the must-have silhouette for next season. The peplum is also the hottest red-carpet trend in … Read More »
OK, we get the message. We need rain but this is ridiculous. What’s a girl to wear? I’ve been dying to slip my toes into some bejewelled flats but can’t bear to shed several pairs of socks and thick soled boots – can’t wait to feel the breeze in cool white linen but am still swathed in every sweater I own, and am loathed to give up my default winter black whilst the grey skies are a permanent feature. Each day my wardrobe tempts with glimpses of coral, pink and pistachio, but I’d be in danger of looking like the solitary deck chair on … Read More »

Well said Cupcake on your thoughts re scurvy versus curvy on the catwalk. We all know size mini minus isn’t a good look yet season after season it’s a look wheeled out like the wonky supermarket trolley. We know it’s not right but we still have to go along with it. Like you I just love that warm and wonderful Ralph Lauren look. How can someone always get it so right? However many designs I secretly covet, there is always a season where the designer seems to go off piste but with Ralph you always know where you are. He always grabs the mood … Read More »
Here are the key looks from the Ralph Lauren Collection Spring/Summer 2012 show which has just taken place in New York. We love the total wear-ability (is that a word, spell check say’s NO..still I like it) of this collection, if I could afford it I’d wear it… I love this ‘out for a walk in the country’ look, this could be me …walking the dog with Earl of Grantham around the estate… Off to my office in the City… THERE’S WORK TO BE DONE Lunch with the Gals then a little shopping! Cocktails and romantic dinner for two. Full on party party…or maybe … Read More »
This morning I was listening to radio 4… yep I hold my hands up I loved it… it was a discussion about LFW (london fashion week) I pricked up my ears at one point when the chat turned to the models…14/15yr olds wear size dot, the point was raised ‘why do the designers use this sample size for the runway? The high street put their spin on the designs to make them wearable but if you have ‘curves’ and most of us I guess do… why oh why do it? I know this is an age old question, I love looking but know my … Read More »
As I am very keen on a little bit of vintage, be it clothing, bags, jewels or shoes..I am forever on the hunt for something new or a well loved vintage site…well let us introduce you to Lovely’s Vintage Emporium. This is a site I keep an eye on everyday… I love the fact it covers all sizes and era, with a good buy from Lovely and mixing an on trend high street fashion with a gorgeous vintage piece is what gives any look a touch of magic. Even in the house we can use retro looking or indeed the genuine article from the … Read More »
Great minds think alike Cupcake – I too have the exact same pair of black Ash trainers! They are my second pair, the first being a super cool bronze pair which were my default setting last summer. Warm and cosy with socks on a dull day yet cool with wide legged linen trousers when the temperature rose. And these trainers have edge, sorely lacking in your average high street pair. Definitely a wardrobe staple and real investment – I too am an Ash fan! marigold x

After reading an article in the paper this weekend, ‘no new clothes for a year’ I got to thinking and by that I mean looking at my wardrobe… my hub already thinks I have way to many clothes so had to hide the paper! In truth I have managed to fill the whole wardrobe in our bedroom, plus the one in the spare room and a cupboard in the office…. hangs head in shame… below spare room woollies… Thing is we have cats and a dog so I have ’at home’ clothes, a collection of jeans, sweatpants, and tee’s oh and the odd very … Read More »
