The noughties revival has been gently gaining pace since Kylie Jenner decided she was bringing back the Von Dutch cap. It was a little soon, but her intentions were spot on. We’ve since seen the return of plastic chokers, asymmetric hems and can you believe it, cowl necks. Kendall Jenner sealed the deal on her […]

It’s been a while since I’ve put together a Blush Board, so I thought I’d put all of my pinning to good use for a party-centric piece. There’s lots more to come on Slappshop.com, but in the meantime, here’s a little inspiration to keep you going!

I can’t count the number of times I’ve received compliments on my trench coat. Perhaps it’s because, it is not a trench in the traditional sense of the word, but more of a utilitarian duster. It billows in the wind, has handy zipper pockets and is a seasonless graphite. Over the last couple of weeks, […]

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 […]

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. […]

With a month left of sun it’s time to pull out all the stops. Wear that broderie anglaise playsuit that you’ve been far too precious with, or that bright sheer chiffon maxi you still haven’t found the right occasion for. Those high-waisted skinnies, can wait another month. I’m yet to actually purchase a jumpsuit; I […]

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 […]

I was all set to do a round-up of the AW15 Couture beauty looks, but sadly they don’t make sense on their own. Guido Palau’s modern Maid Marian hair, for example, seems too virtuous when separated from the swathes of sheer black lace and chiffon, that Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli dressed […]

Summer is in full swing and whilst it’s tempting to whip out those denim cut-offs, if you hadn’t noticed, we’ve grown up a little this past year. No more beanies, no more slogans, no more pink hair- and even though it would be rude not rock all of the above at SGP, Wilderness and Lovebox, […]

If last year was all about the Brit girl: Cara, Jourdan, Sam, Kate, Naomi, Georgia May & Suki, this year is all about the L.A girl. These girls are surpassing our girls in the social media stakes, with Kendall now Social Media’s top model, with 42,958,641 followers and Old Cara coming in fourth with 14,399,890 followers. Perhaps it’s […]

At this time of year there’s usually a micro trend that feeds into our collective subconscious and lets us know that summer’s on its way. Last summer it was orange lipstick, this year it’s all about a flash of fluorescence. Neon has been popping up consistently since Gigi Hadid wore her colour-blocked triangle at the […]

It’s bank holiday weekend and even though BBC says it will be raining I refuse to accept it. I will be in a pub garden somewhere with my sunnies on sipping on a cold pint of cider and black (I’m a classy bird!) Wherever you’ll be, I think this four day weekend calls for a […]

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 […]

Selfies of hot models and celeb studs have been doing the rounds on Instagram for quite some time now, so it was only a matter of time before they infiltrated my subconscious and I had to have some CKs. Thankfully Urban Outfitters and I are on the same page and we can all get ourselves […]

Kanye West has been telling anyone who’ll listen that he loves fashion, wants to design another collection and has so much styling nous to impart on us all (he did after all invent leather tracksuit bottoms, apparently). So when the time for Kanye’s first show, as part of his collaboration with Adidas Originals, came, everyone […]

2014 has been a crazy year. In the beauty world we got to grips with make-up again after seasons of fuss free hair and make-up barely there. This year was all about the bronze eye, teenage kohl and layering up on lashes. On the streets seemingly every star was spotted in their monogrammed Burberry blanket […]

Karl Lagerfeld has made us want trainers and backpacks and now he’s making us want Mohawks. For yesterday’s Chanel Couture show, Karl Lagerfeld and hairstylist Sam McKnight refashioned the hair of fashion’s top girls into 80s boyband stars, with slicked back sides and mega quiffs. Models Sam Rollinson, Ming Xi, Kendall Jenner and Malaika Firth […]

Kendall Jenner‘s star has long been on the rise and it’s nothing to do with the American model’s famous sisters. Jenner, who had a remarkable debut season, for any model, walked for Marc Jacobs, Giles and Givenchy, many thanks to her family friend Riccardo Tisci and the fact that Love Editor Katie Grand is […]

Berry lips have been off the radar for a while now, but for some reason last weekend- out of nowhere, I whipped out my Chanel, Rouge Coco Shine No.92. It was a sultry saturday evening, my eyes were a Nars shade of copper bronze, I’d caught the sun and it just seemed fitting. After a […]
