All buttoned up

May 19th 2013 22:28
One part hipster and two parts preppy, the way to wear your collared shirt right now is buttoned up all the way. Pair it with a cute skirt or short shorts and you have a look that is business on top and party below; throw on a structured jacket and you have the perfect outfit for between seasons. Best of all is that it's already in your wardrobe, so there's no buying required!

Eco-tistical style

May 14th 2013 14:08
Vintage chic, recycled fashions, clothes swapping parties and handmade items. Knitting, sewing, crocheting and mending. Hunting for that awesome one-of-a-kind piece at your local charity shop. Nicking your Mum's old scarves, hats and jewellery. Refusing to wear fur, and keeping your leather purchases to a minimum. Buying retro designer garments on eBay at a fraction of their original cost. No, it's not the 'next big thing', and no, it's not just a trend that will go away in time. This is a revolution in the making, and it's one that transcends fashion altogether. This is eco chic, and it's the way of the future.

My most recent eBay purchase

May 13th 2013 17:27
Since becoming a mother nearly two years ago, my personal style has become much more sedate than it once was... and this top proves to be no exception. At $12.55 including postage, it might be a bargain or it might be a complete rip-off, but that's part of eBay's charm; you never really know until it arrives in your letterbox.

Virtually every new top of mine could be described as 'flowing'.

Love those funky gumboots

May 4th 2013 11:29
Now this is not so much of a new trend, as a reminder: if you need to wear something as inherently daggy as gumboots, then why not make them funky? Once upon a time the only gumboots on the market for adults were basic black, but a few years ago some clever designer seized the funky gumboots idea and suddenly, polka-dotted, zebra-striped and psychedelic patterns were everywhere.

The recessionista's rulebook

April 28th 2013 12:21
So you need to cut down on your spending. Welcome to the club, my friend! But just because you can't afford to buy designer anymore doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice your sense of style. In fact, when it comes to fashion, having to work to a budget can be a blessing in disguise: it forces you to be both creative and resourceful when it comes to what you wear, and as a result you'll begin expressing yourself - sartorially speaking - in ways you'd previously never considered.

How to wear hair jewellery

April 23rd 2013 14:04
Hair jewellery is becoming increasingly popular among the rich and famous, and with good reason: topping off your hairstyle with gold or silver chains creates an elegant look with distinctly bohemian undertones (think sixties headbands, with added glam). It's a tricky style to get just right, however, as too much sparkle will make you look gaudy and overdone. Read on for some handy tips on how to work the hair jewellery trend in high style.
