Start the day with a spring in your step
The days of handbags are not over yet but statement something should be something else this spring and this year…
Blue flats from Zara basic
White lace dress from Jovonna
Black tights makes every top a dress (almost anyway)
No more gladiators, go moroccan
Everyone should have a canary coloured dress and a “star wars” belt like the new Mrs O
Highest heels ever in block...

Black cats mean bad luck... and good PR
Friday the 13th. The most unlucky, scary and daunting day that could possibly pop up. Well, this wouldn’t be the 21st century unless we were trying to have fun on its expense AND make some money. Read about Mischief’s stunt in having specially trained black cats wandering the streets of London to launch the new game F.E.A.R. 2. This wouldn’t be the 21st century unless we banked...

Brighter days await
I read somewhere (actually I know where I read it but a good friend says it is an embarassing magazine…) that acting happy will soon make you feel genuinely happy. This theory is quite pleasing as it simply puts back the truth in “fake it til’ you make it”. Other useful tools could be looking at the spring collections for 2009. Its all jazzy type of modern haute couture...

The year that went by...
2008. What is worth remembering?
1. This has been the year of digital fashion. Unrivalled era of how easy it is to be spot on and comfortable in both choosing and returning your outfit. Whether you’re on the asos.com or net-a-porter.com/mytheresa.com budget, you can always get your monies AND trend books worth.
2. Boho. It’s just one of those things that you feel keep being repeated...

Making history
There is a privilege in experiencing today: one of the most historical moments in modern history and certainly of my generation.
It is hard to find words that can sum up what has really happened today with Barack Obama becoming America’s 44th president and also the first coloured President ever. Colour, race, sex should never matter but nevertheless history has made it matter. Today is the...

New generation of cobblers
Check out the Times article on Jonathan Kelsey, Nicholas Kirkwood, Camilla Skovgaard and Rupert Sanderson who are officially stepping into the shoes of Louboutin, Blahnik and Choo… Really interesting article with some biogs and other worthwhile info.
“Is it purely coincidental that four brilliant footwear designers, working independently of each other, have surfaced at the same...
Credit crunch chic...?
Credit crunch is the word of the day, if not the decade. Depressingly enough, for actually most of us, we are in the midst of the worst financial crisis of human history - and it wasn’t even Robert Peston who coined that one.
All the mags have been going nuts writing about the Visa Swap campaign, fronted by Lindsay Lohan, emphasising vintage clothes (although I personally feel second hand/...
British Style Genius
Ended up coming home at a reasonable hour last night and had time to watch “British Style Genius” on BBC2.
Such a great initiative, it basically mapped out the life and career of first Vivienne Westwood (and to some extent Malcolm McLaren too) and spoke of how she has paved the way for British fashion. I did my Sixth form last year project on “Women’s Liberation Through...
The Rachel Zoe Project →
Rachel Zoe is the quintessential size zero/vintage junkie stylist and now she’s got her own show! It is pretty much what you would expect and, low and behold, she even seems quite nice.

Blogging is crucial...
Yet I have been so bad at updating mine! I will blame it on two busy weeks at Edelman and still having no broadband in my apartment.
These last two weeks have as you can imagine been mindblowing. I have met so many creative, interesting and driven people who are all passionate about the future development of PR. One of these is head of digital and social media Simon Collister who has planted a...

I’m assuming that when Austen wrote the above sentence she referred to the physical health of Londoners, and not the mental… Remains to be seen.
Very exciting things are happening at the moment, I am finally in London and have sorted out my new flat and enjoyed the yearly Edelman graduate lunch today.
The new office at Victoria Street is fantastic: glass doors, amazing furniture and...
