We love discovering and supporting up and coming British brands, and we recently happened to stumble upon the brilliant designer Justine Tabak. Having worked as creative director at Fendi, Laura Ashley and M&S (to name but a few), she set up her fledging namesake label, Justine Tabak, where all the pieces are sourced and made in … Continue Reading
One of the greatest blessings from working in the fashion industry has been the truly eclectic mix of people we have met and been lucky enough to develop great friendships with. As mere minnows grappling with the world of castings, options, and go sees, the modelling world can very, very cold and cut-throat. We truly believe that it … Continue Reading
The blogging world is now full to excess with wannabe bloggers and self crowned “style leaders”. In an already saturated market, there is one blogger who paved way before anyone even knew what “wordpress” was, and who has been trail blazing her way through the blogging stratosphere. That lady is Jules Sarinana of Sincerely Jules.
Before I had my three boys, I never thought I would write a sentence that contained the phrase…”I have found the perfect school run outfit.” The sentence in itself sounds awful; and also appears to demonstrate that you actually care what people think of you whilst dropping off your kids at 8 am in the morning! … Continue Reading
My old favourite black ‘Self Portrait’ dress has become what I call “wardrobe gold”- namely, a ‘little black dress’ for all occasions, for all seasons, and most importantly…it is a dress that I feel great in. This dress will be my friend forever, and it is nigh impossible to usurp it from its “King of … Continue Reading
I love nothing more than discovering a new brand that ticks all the boxes, and this brand I have stumbled upon incorporates all the elements on my wish-list: style; luxuriant fabrics; and interesting use of techniques (such as embroidery, pleated prints and well thought out silhouettes.) However, I seem to be a bit behind on … Continue Reading
Gone are the ASBO days of the nineties, and early naughties where anyone wearing a hoodie was arrested, or at least let off with a caution. The ASBO police would have a hard time nowadays at the fashion weeks, with half of the fashion industry trotting around in hoodies. That old guilty pleasure of stealing … Continue Reading
Caroline and I love to steal from each other’s wardrobes. We both see this thievery as one of the pleasures of being good friends, and it is something we both cherish… Even if we never get the pieces back again ( Caroline, I am looking at you!). This coat (that belongs to me, and now sits … Continue Reading
When I think of high street shopping, I immediately think of the big ones…TopShop, H&M, Miss Selfridge, & ASOS. River Island had never really entered that equation… until recently that is. I have been buying their jeans for a while and have been impressed with the fit, the styles and the quality. However, my River … Continue Reading
Starting your day by waking up to a cold, dark and uninspiring morning is always hard. The monotonous daily routine of getting the kids up, dressed, fed and out the door on time – whilst remembering their bags, random equipment and completed homework – usually kicks off my morning with a sense of drudgery rather … Continue Reading
