The Summer Wardrobe
It’s officially summer, so what are we wearing? Clothes. I know…duh. Summer is a tricky season for most. In Autumn and spring you know you are layering light, in the winter you’re bulking up, but for summer you want something light without having to risk going naked because its so hot.

Zashadu- A Sustainable Cool
There is nothing I love more than a handbag, which I am sure you know by now, and whilst I am a sucker for Marc Jacobs, McQueen etc. I love stepping off the beaten path and discovering a handbag designer with a collection after my own heart. Few things make me as happy. Zashadu is such…

Kate Moss For Topshop
I remember when the first Kate Moss for Topshop collection dropped, you literally could not move on Oxford Street that day as the model herself posed in the store window at its grand opening, ensuring that one of the busiest, if not the busiest, streets in London was commuter hell. I also remember seeing…

But the retailer is seeking to address this decline with its new line up for Spring -Summer 2014- The Leading Ladies, shot by Annie Leibovitz; it covers the bases and then some whilst pulling out all the stops. The ethos here is…
