TREND: BOLD FLORALS
Spring is on the horizon (honest!), and with the promise of longer days and warmer temperatures comes a new set of style rules - helping to make the transition from Winter's cosy cocoon of coats and tights just a little more exciting. As is typical of Spring fashion, catwalks have been decorated with floral fancies - except this time they're packing more of a punch. Yep, for S/S '15 it's all about bold florals. Think vibrance. Think colour. Think bold and busy patterns reminiscent of Liberty London and 70s styling. Whether it's a tropical explosion or a vintage smattering, the rule of...
GET THE LOOK: BAFTAs JEWELLERY
Still reeling from last weekend's BAFTAs and its showcase of talent, glitter and glamour? Don't worry, us too.

TREND: 70s ACCESSORIES
Book the appointment for that feather cut, order those flares and dig out your lava lamp: it’s time to channel your inner Farrah Fawcett and time hop back to the 1970s. In an era totally focussed on peace and love, the female wardrobe reflected Britain’s newly-acquired laid back attitude. It-girls would opt for comfortable-yet-chic bell bottoms, floppy Fedora hats, midi dresses and Birkenstocks, to achieve an undone, naturally beautiful look. By night 70s disco rules applied - with mini skirts in vibrant patterns, giant statement jewellery, and knee high boots. Fast-forward 40 years, and the 70s trend is back for...
STYLE CRUSH: ANGELINA JOLIE
Angelina Jolie is as regal and beautiful as any woman on Earth – a Greek Goddess if there ever was such a thing. A woman so enchanting and graceful that one has to snap themselves out of a daze-like wonder whenever caught in her presence. We know her not just as an impossibly stylish lady and the very embodiment of elegance, nor simply an incredibly talented and captivating actor, but additionly as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, fighting the good fight to bring relief and aid to struggling parts of the world. 39-year-old Jolie is married to fellow actor Brad...
The AW Edit - Cool Weather
Cool weather calls for black staples, tailored separates and chic outerwear. Amid the style frenzy that was London Fashion Week, camel coats took precedence. Whether oversized with super heels or buttoned up with skinnies and flats, camel coats are this season’s showstopper. Following closely behind are cigarette pants, sharp loafers and investment piece handbags. Fashion is going formal this A/W and we can’t wait to start hauling. There’s nothing like an eye-catching motif to give your outfit a new lease of life. The co-ord trend exploded over the summer with matching separates reigning high in the fashion world. Whether it...
Floral Jewellery Comes into Bloom this Spring
Floral is a timeless trend and floral jewellery in particular. Indeed, the trend stems back to the time of the Egyptians who used real flowers in garlands or wreaths or worn as a single flower or leaf and the Romans with their floral pendants and head pieces. This season is no different, and as Spring brings life back to nature, we welcome back the floral trends that are so often associated with spring and summer. Perhaps one of the reasons that floral is such a recurring trend is that it’s such a versatile theme, having thousands of flowers in...
