Lavazza’s Selection at London Fashion Week from Lavazza UK on Vimeo.

I know this is a backtrack, but it’s just gone up so I wanted to share the last Lavazza LFW vid with you. It was awesome that I basically had my pick of designers to chat to at the Topshop New Gen stalls which was [...]

Revlon Plum Seduction

Now that spring has sprung I’m offcially busting out the coral left right and centre. This love affair started a loo-oong time ago in the Boots in Brighton, when I spotted Revlon’s One Perfect Coral. Such an apt name! At the time it reminded me of middle-aged, overtanned ladies from Cannes who would have a [...]

Giles Paris Fashion Week AW10 backstage pics

Last week I boarded the Eurostar to Paris to cover the Giles show for work, trésemmé exciting as you can imagine. I thought I’d share some of the pictures from the day, the Giles studio must be really quite organised as it was the calmest pre-catwalk show atmosphere I’ve seen. I chatted to the make [...]

Margaux Lonnberg, Topshop Unique muse?

At work the people in France do a lot of work with the français fashion bloggers, so I get to see what’s hip across la Manche. On one of my blogspeditions I saw the face of the Topshop Unique shows staring back at me, but it wasn’t a cave lady, it was a real person [...]

Isabelle’s Blogscars: spreading the blog love

After Tavi-gate and the LFW blogger drama I think we’re all in need of a little love so I thought I’d run through some of my favourite blogs. It’s quite timely as the Oscars are soon (don’t actually know, sorry I’m really lame about stuff like that) so I’ve dubbed it the Blogscars. Geddit?! So, [...]

The Gentlewoman is here!

Cannot. Wait. Available 22nd March.

AW10 trend: yellow as seen on Burberry, Margaret Howell and Marc Jacobs

If you’re reading this I’ll be off on my way to Paris to see the Giles show, excited? You bet! I’ve just taken a herbal sleeping tablet and my eyes are closing already so this post is going to be short at best. I’m listening to Osita Osadebe to perk up the depressing drudgery that [...]

London Fashion Week: Backstage at Bora Aksu

So I didn’t just see Topshop Unique at London Fashion Week, my time there was cut short by getting the LFW cold but I was also presenting vids for Lavazza, who have been sponsors of LFW for a few years now. This is the first one backstage at Bora Aksu, enjoy!

Malick Sidibe and a trip to Mali & Burkina Faso

You might have already seen Malick Sidibe’s photographs in the Guardian (thanks for the link Beatriz!), and if you haven’t then why aren’t you reading Rachael’s blog?! I’ve put a few up here because it reminded me I haven’t shared of my own Mali pictures. Last year I accompanied a couple of seasoned Africanophiles to [...]

Recipe for hot & sour soup: the cure for the LFW cold, plus summer rolls!

Like I mentioned yesterday, I had a stab at making hot and sour soup. Moonface had been going on about Viet Hoa on Kingsland Road and their hot and sour soup for about a year, and it wasn’t until I had to to go to a ’90s Summer of Reggae party (don’t ask, or do, [...]
