On holiday on the Yangtze river with Nadav Kander

I came across these Nadav Kander pictures on Krisatomic and was a little bowled over. The colours, and washed out, humid atmosphere that you only seem to get in East Asia. Everything softly muted and slightly dulled.

It made me want to pick out a few clothes following this muted palette, with simple neutral pieces [...]

On holiday with Rachel Comey and Topshop

I’ve been enjoying the Great British Summer this weekend, and until I go on holiday I’ll be whiling away the days packing imaginary suitcases. I’ve had my eye on the Rachel Comey tank and the Topshop bikini for some time, and they seem to compliment each other really well. Add in Vanessa Bruno’s Athe trousers [...]

Topshop AW10

I’m a bit late to the Topshop AW10 party but here I am anyway with a few bottles of cheap white wine to keep things going for a little longer. I’ve made a pick of the lookbook, can’t say no to the pompom headband and the subtly polka dotted jeans. I also like what they [...]

Arcadia AW10 Press Day

Technical issues (yes Rachael I STILL don’t have broadband!) means this post is a little overdue but there’s nothing like a good weekend blogging catch-up sesh. The Arcadia press day is always a mammoth event, housing Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Evans, Miss Selfridge, Burton, Topman and Topshop under one roof, it’s a hulluva lot to take [...]

Topshop Unique LFW show AW 10

What do you get if you mix utility clothing, Horse & Hound magazine and add a generous splash of Where The Wild Things are?

Topshop’s latest Unique collection puts me in the mood for autumn before the show had even begun, with it’s leaf-strewn catwalk. As the models came out it was more autunmy goodness [...]

Solving the Topshop dilemma

This post comes to you on a wave of illness, drama, long days at work and hospital visits so forgive the spelling mistakes and slight ramble…
The fashion press have a love-love relationship with Topshop, there’s nowt but sweet nothings that pour from the pages of fashion mags. Until Tuesday when Jess Cartner Morley wrote a [...]

Maybe it was the eleven months he spent in the womb

As soon as I saw this Topshop maternity ‘Claw’ dress I thought of Buster Bluth from Arrested Development:

George Sr.: Listen… Let him go. Let your son go.
Michael: I can’t do that, Dad. He needs me.
George Sr.: Michael, you don’t want to make the same mistake your mom made with Buster.
Michael: Yeah, boy. What happened there?
George [...]

Topshop OMG Necklace

omg necklace
The ‘Carrie’ style name necklace is such a lame fashion cliché but internet acronyms blatantly override that so when I saw this MASSIVE OMG necklace in Topshop, I insta-picked it up. Thankfully I knew I’d made the right decision because Rachael told me she’d also spied it and she is queen of internet LOLZ. I can’t find it on their site anywhere, but I bought it IRL upstairs by one of the tills last week, I swear!

Arcadia’s press day for bloggers

arcadia topman suit bloggers press day isabelle ocarroll laura street

Last night Arcadia held a press day for bloggers and online press, with a dress up room and photo studio so bloggers could try on clothes and pose for pictures.

It was a really packed event, with fashion royalty like Susie from Style Bubble, and Richard Mortimer from Ponystep (excitement!) The atmosphere was really upbeat and festive, and there was a whole host of Arcadia PRs to chat to.
