Mark Badgley and James Mischka showed some gorgeous red-carpet-worthy gowns at their Tuesday morning show at Bryant Park. Included were some gorgeous column gowns, and a charming little gold confection made of what looked like a series of connected peony blossoms. But there were more “serious” clothes, too, including some work ready dresses that would [...]

After all of the rain, gloom and snow of the last few weeks, I was really pleased to open my curtains to blue sky and sunshine, it cheered me up no end. I was not intending to do an outfit post today, but I decided to try out some photos to see if I could [...]

The Nicole Miller Fall-Winter 2010 collection presented at New York Fashion Week last Friday showed that black is the new black. Color was rare to non-existent, and evoked some of the things about the 80s before fashion went berserk. There was a lot of texture, lots of pleating, wrapping, ruching, and asymmetry.
The collection was very [...]

Neutrals and minimalism is all very well but I much prefer patterns particularly in bold punchy colours with some black and white to make them really stand out.

As there were so many different examples of pattern mixing on the catwalk, I though I would try to make a few ore outfits from the clothes that I have in my wardrobe. Actually, I could probably go on and on. This outfit is a fairly subtle example of pattern mixing and a complete contrast [...]

So today, I decided to get started on my ‘No more wants challenge’, which will see me, for a little while at least, refraining from buying new clothes and instead making outfits from what I already have in my wardrobe to fit in with key trends for the season.

I haven’t been out much this week, I am starting to feel like a recluse and slipping into a comfort zone of dressing for warmth and slobbing, so when my new clothes ordered from the online sales turned up, I decided to try them on to cheer myself up (I know I still look pretty [...]

I don’t actually buy that many clothes from Topshop as I have convinced myself that the cut of their clothes often doesn’t suit my figure (perhaps I should just lose weight). But when it comes to getting a general overview of the main fashions for a season (and I realise there is a lot [...]
