06.02.2011- The Salon at ASOS

When the March edition of ASOS magazine landed on my doorstep last week, I instantly fell in love with their new capsule collection, The Salon, which 'draws inspiration from a treasure trove of vintage finds'.

(Warning: The following images may result in a serious case of frock lust!)

I love everything from the couture inspired detailing (the flowers on the bodice of the first dress just scream Valentino) to the classic shapes and muted colours. If you've got a summer party/birthday/wedding/graduation/christening or other miscellaneous celebration coming up, any one of these beautiful dresses would be perfect. They are set to land on asos.com next month.

What do you think of The Salon collection? Do you have any favourite pieces?

13.06.2011- Monday Must-haves

Hello all! Hope you all had fantastic weekends (despite the ever-changing weather!) and are enjoying the new week so far. Here are my Monday Must-haves for this week: Quite an unexpectedly Topshop heavy post this week, but some beautiful pieces have recently debuted online and I couldn't resist including them. I've probably owned a series of cream blouses with lace detailing since I was about 15 (including a beautiful one from Miss Selfridge which I recently parted company with as it was too big!), but this one from Topshop has well and truly cemented itself on my 'future purchases' list. I couldn't resist including the socks after seeing them in store last week, as they instantly reminded me of the old style school socks I used to wear (although I'm not advocating nostalgia as an excuse to splurge!) I've also been after a pair of tan ankle boots since last winter, and these are perfect- I love the buckle detailing. After seeing this skirt in New Look last w

11.06.2012- Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland

If you've been in London recently and have stopped by Karen Millen's Regent Street store, then you can't fail to have noticed their breathtaking new window installations, celebrating the work of Kirsty Mitchell . Three years ago, whilst still designing for Karen Millen, Kirsty began work on her photographic project Wonderland in tribute to her mother, who sadly died in 2008. Inspired by the stories which Kirsty's mother read to her when she was a child, the finished project is a culmination of her experience in design, costume and photography, and has produced a series of the most beautiful images I think I've ever seen: Aren't they stunning? And even more impressive when you consider the fact that nothing about any of these shots was manipulated inside a computer- all the props, set pieces, costumes and backdrops are completely real. I don't think I've ever come across more visionary work, and I'm only sorry it's taken me so long to discover su

12.12.11- Monday Must-haves: The Christmas Countdown

My pick of Must-have Christmas gifts this week focuses on presents which fall under a £50 price tag. Whilst this array of gifts may be a touch more expensive than the under £20 picks I posted last week , I've tried to choose a selection of things which will last and which I think make for really special presents: Whilst this lovely little lot might appear more than a little make-up heavy, Christmas always feels like the perfect occasion to invest in some appropriately festive cosmetics! This gift set from Nails Inc. consists of three beautifully glittering shades, and at £25 is pretty good value considering that their individual varnishes retail at £11 each. The Chanel eyeshadow has become a really coveted product, and I think this shimmering white shade is gorgeous- the perfect luxury treat for a make-up obsessive or someone who needs spoiling this Christmas. This set of eyeshadows from MAC is another really great value item as the six shades which are included are really versatil

Why The Business Humans Needs Both Extroverts And Introverts

There has been a big move close infolding lately. Introverts are reaching out of the press, paradisaical to hump why they're dissimilar, and settled to be bragging of their differences. And that's majuscule. But it ofttimes comes with a backlash against extroverts. Both extroverts and introverts are obligatory in enterprise, and in the reality as a object. Between these two types of fill, there can exist a unaffected component that is necessary for sainted working and fruitfulness. The text retract and extroverts are labels, and there are always problems with labels. They make the impression of housings people into activity and personal expectations that can be prejudicial to their ontogenesis and functional. Nonetheless, if misused aright, they can also be adjuvant. For instance, these labels don't necessarily touch to strict behavioral rules. Instead, they're active the strength guidelines and emphasis of the individuals. Introverts get their doe by beingness uncompar

25.01.2015- Bookmarked: #GIRLBOSS

With my resolution to read more (and also to break the awful habit which I have of starting a book only to leave it lying around unfinished..) well and truly underway, one of the tomes which I've found myself regularly reaching for since the start of the year is #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso, a no holds barred, fierce as you like look at Amoruso's journey from serial job hopper to owner of Nasty Gal- one of the most successful start-up online businesses of recent years. Refreshingly honest, funny and full of wonderful pearls of wisdom, it's a real page turner and something which I've found pretty impossible to put down... #GIRLBOSS is not only a really fun read, but it's also something which made me laugh out loud at the turn of almost every page. Sophia Amoruso's candid humour and frank firsthand insight gives this book so much character- something which is completely infectious and left me with a grin on my face whenever I picked it up. That's not to say t
