The Autumn/Winter 15 shows saw a distinct return to glamour – and thank god, because I was getting pretty bored of wearing smart cropped trousers and white tees. This season saw the return of plush velvets, embellishment and fur- all ideal for nippy winter nights. As its likely to snow this weekend, now seemed a better […]

Thanks to Summer’s penchant for all things Seventies, suits have been witnessing a revival of late. After all, nothing says 1970s swagger like a Bianca-Jagger inspired two-piece. Whether you’ll be wearing yours white, wide-legged and belted, or a la Saint Laurent and super skinny; there’s a suit out there with your name on it. Spotted on the Autumn/Winter […]

Unlike florals in Spring, berry lips in autumn never go out of style- thank god, because pink looks horrendous on me. This season creamy mattes and soft sheens take centre stage. if you’re in need of some inspiration, look to queen of the Bordeaux lip Joan Smalls. The supermodel has become so well known for […]

My favourite season is upon us and I have to say I’m rather happy to see my 15 deniers again. Autumn/Winter, for me is the time you can have the most fun with your style. My Autumn style tends to be a twist on old classics. Silk blouses, skinny jeans and fur coats never fail […]

Autumn is finally here; and whilst I know I should be pining over our lost summer, I couldn’t be happier. Autumn/Winter is by far my favourite season and the time you can truly demonstrate you sartorial prowess. Last week we got into the new 80s mood with Anna Ewers’ sleek buns, but now it’s time […]

There’s nothing like a beauty roundup, to get you ready for the season ahead. Unlike seasons before, Autumn/Winter ’15 was neither minimal nor extreme, but somewhere safely in between. As always kohl liner featured heavily, as did fashion’s penchant for purity – with perfectly prepped faces and groomed and full brows, taking centre stage once […]

I’m going to reveal a trade secret that I may regret, but whenever I go vintage shopping, the first thing I look for is a belt; mainly because you need one in the changing rooms to figure out whether the pinstriped sack that you’ve fallen in love with, really can be transformed into a dress. […]

I fell in love with fluffy shoes in the memorable episode in SATC in which Samantha convinces Carrie to buy fluffy mules to spice things up with Berger. I don’t know if it’s my recent visit to the boudoir room at the V&A’s Shoes: Pleasure & Pain exhibit, or the images of Rihanna in varying […]

Weddings, festivals, raves and beach days, summer calls for a host of hairstyles, but there’s one that’s seen a resurgence this season- the humble high pony. A schoolgirl favourite, the high ponytail is the perfect low maintenance look. For day or night, nothing is more nonchalant. So versatile is the easy up-do that Lily James […]

Researching for an upcoming shoot, I found myself repeatedly pinning pictures of brunette girls with blunt bobs and fringes. I’ve always been a fan of the fringe- mainly because I can’t have one. I did try to cut one when I was about six, but an afro fringe doesn’t really work, at all. There are […]

This was originally a post inspired by a Holly Fulton jacket I saw. A dainty pink number with an encrusted collar and bejewelled buttons, which upon closer inspection was entirely latex. Summery and subversive an item which could be dressed up or down- it was perfection. But as I researched edgy Harringtons and lady-like boxys, another […]

If you’ve ever watched the Kardashians– and let’s face it, if you read Blush- you probably have, you’ll have also marvelled at the power of a parting. Whenever Kim, Khloe or Kourtney take to the camera to have their way too rational revaluation of whatever drama they’ve overcome that episode, you will often have gasped […]

I don’t know whether it’s my lob, the Rihanna cover or the fact that not every day I want my lips to scream “I’ve made an effort” but I am obsessed with the new nude lip. Unlike it’s predecessor, the new nude is creamier and all together a lot less beige – I really wasn’t […]

So LFW is in full swing and it’s been a stellar season so far. Simone Rocha, Jonathan Saunders and JW Anderson have all wowed with bright and graphic collections; although Simone’s was very much a love letter to the centuries that came before, with her sexy reconstruction of brocades and check. There were also fantastic […]

See in the new year with Peter Phillips’ new look for Dior pre-fall 15. Models took to the runway in coats constructed in exaggerated ideals, ankle skimming fur gilets worn atop long-sleeved sequinned and sparkly polo necks. Though the elements remained the same – sheer sheath dresses, knee high leather boots and quirky ski knits, […]
