LFW Sunday Supplement #35
September is the best month of the year for me. It’s still a little warm from the Summer, we have Vogues bumper September Issue to feed on and we have Autumn/Winter wear to dive into, coats, boots, hats. Best of all London host’s one of my favourite events, London fashion Week. September is also my…

Sunday Supplement #27
Where did Sunday go? I’ve been lazily trying to rearrange my studio, I say lazily because apart from the cleaning I’ve been trying to rearrange my books. Trouble is, every time I move a book to sort it, keep, chuck, or maybe? The book takes on a story from my past, a memory or a…

Preen by Thornton Bragazzi – LFW AW16
So I’m having a thing with pink at the moment. Not in your face fuchsia or hot pink but a kind of pink take on neutrals. Dusty pink reminds me of the 1970’s so let’s call it Pig’s breath (I’m joking) how about bubble gum? No, it’s the New Pink. New Pink was all over the…

Sunday Supplement #26
Sunday for me is such a good food day. Sunday is the day to relax and take pleasure in leisurely preparing and eating your dinner. Sunday feels like a day when you don’t need to be just refuelling, you can take time to plan and cook and make the most wonderful things to eat and…

Style Diary #01 – LFW
Hooray! As much as I hate to see the sunshine go I’m a little bit delighted to see rain clouds this morning. For as we all know the best things about Autumn are boots and coats! My absolute best buy so far this Autumn Winter season has been skinny ankle boots from Topshop. I bought…

Sunday Supplement #11
Hope you enjoyed last week’s fashion posts. It was fun covering the London Fashion Week Catwalk Shows but it was also hard work, I was shattered by day three! Not very rock’n’roll I know. I did go to one celeb party, the PPQ party in Mayfair, which was fun but more than enough partying for one…

Zandra Rhodes & People Tree
As part of the run-up to this year’s London Fashion Week, I attended the launch of a collaboration between Dame Zandra Rhodes and People Tree. Zandra Rhodes needs no explanation, as a peer of British Fashion Design, but if you’ve not heard of People Tree, they are the sustainable Fair Trade pioneers, the home of…

Freemasons’s Hall set the backdrop for her vibrant punk take on the Wild West. Entitled Lawless, first to hit the catwalk were her bright, skin-tight, sometimes fringed catsuits, followed by a kind of poncho declaring ‘Give…
