Introducing Amy Hall
Despite the soaring temperatures of the last few days I can’t seem to get enough of Amy Hall. Amy, a self taught knitwear designer, may not been a name instantly recognisable however her statement chunky knits are sure to leave a lasting impression.
Amy Hall demonstrates that knitwear doesn’t have to be all about over-sized snoods and wooly hats, her collections offer an array of...

Clean and Clear to the rescue.
There’s nothing more nerve racking than getting ready to go to a Premiere. And then you’re told that Ed Westwick is going to be there the pressure multiplies by 100 per cent!
Thanks to Clean & Clear celebrating the launch of their sparkly new Facebook page (link:http://www.facebook.com/cleanandclearuk) , a few of us got to go to the UK Premiere of Chalet Girl, snowboarding...

SOD THE SALES
Sales to me spells actual shopping hell. Loads of people in a confined area, clothes scattered around and the gut renching feeling of needing to find a bargain and buy something that will never see the light of day - well i’m done with all that. In fact i’m using this sale hell period to get smart, because while everyones attention is diverted to getting something/anything on the...

IN THE SPIRIT OF THINGS.
I wasn’t feeling too Christamasy before but after seeing the fabulous Christmas cards designed by fashion illustrator Margot Bowman and blogger Bip Ling, i’m getting more in the spirit of things.
The pals have teamed up to create a series of uniquely illustrated Christmas Cards for Topshop to raise money for Age Concern, so get in store and send your festive greetings in style.
WANT. WANT. NEED
DION LEE. THAT’S ALL
Rorschach silk-crepe T-shirt dress £580
It’s great when big brands take a stand supporting people who want to get in the industry. Donatella Versace hosted a dinner in London to celebrate the launch of the Central Saint Martins 20:20 fashion fund. The Fund is about investing in the future of the UK’s fashion industry giving Central Saint Martins the funds to give the most talented new designers the education they need...
GET ME SOME RAQUEL ALLEGRA.
I’d love, love, love to just go into my wardrobe and chuck something on and still look hot. This is something that never happens to me.
If I just throw something on I end up looking like i’ve just rifled through a half empty bin liner which was left outside a charity shop, after the gypsy’s have taken all the good shit. But I think I have found a solution to my throw it on...
ABSOLUTELY RANDOM
I might just be a syincal media phobe which is ironic as this is the industry I work in, but when you get brands doing creative,cool,exciting,quirky,original,edgy and all the other buzz word things, for the sake of it I start to become a lil suspect.
So the latest brand to jump on this random act of coolness bandwagon is Absolut Vodka. In a bid to put this...
DECODE THIS.
You have to hand it to old Jay Z that when it comes to promoting his shizzel he likes to do it big. Well in a bid to generate a frenzy for his new book Decoded he has created a treasure hunt with a difference. Using the power of social media he has hidden over 300 pages from his memoir across New York and other cities which he refers in some of his lyrics including LONDON BABY! Everyday 5 to 10...

MY MINI ADVENTURE
I wouldn’t really describe myself as a car person however when it comes to the Brit cult classic MINI Cooper I do have to take a little notice. Mini are set to launch the brand new four door version of the Cooper called the MINI Countryman and to celebrate they’ve set the nation a brand new challenge. So I rocked up at Vicotria Station on my way to Brando HQ to discover a large black...
LANVIN LANDS ON THE HIGH-STREET
WOW. This is probably going to be the designer collaboration that will send tremours down the high street, as Swedish brand H&M has confirmed that they will be collaborating with Parisian fashion house Lanvin.
This is the stuff poor girls (and Ebay floggers) dreams are made of. Forget Commes des Garcon, Matthew Williamson or even that Jimmy Choo collaboration, as this could be bigger than the...
NEWS FLIPPIN' FLASH
It must have literally been about a month ago when I was bitching about my favourite Spanish brands’ inability to get it on with some e-commerce lovin, well by golly my prayers have been answered. Why, well because five years too late but all the same Zara has finally logged on.
So here are my Zara must haves www.zara.com

FOR ARTS SAKE
Am I just out of touch or is someone sticking their fingers down their throat to create vomit art just a bit sick and a little fucked up?
I’m all for a bit of creativity give me a dead rotting mouse in a perspex box any day, but I don’t get this whole notion of stomach bile as art just because some cool chick on ShowStudio says it is.
Millie Brown uses colourful liquid which she...

And with her experience and expertise who can blame her, from Sunday Times Style to Vogue Grace has been there, styling some awe inspiring front covers and high end editorial shoots. It’s all about Grace...

The store styled up to Scandvian perfection boasts four floors and a flamin roof terrace and in true ACNE style the store or studio as they like it to be referred as, has currated art works...
