THE BEST OF OFFICE MATERNITY WEAR

header

June 24 2013, The Baby Planners

The buttons on your favourite blouse are straining to the point where, should one ping off, it may take out an eye and your go-to work trousers are going the same way. It’s time to accept the inevitable and face up to the fact that the time has come to buy some maternity clothes.

Most of us are well versed in the trials of hauling ass to work every morning. Add to that an ever expanding bump and the fact that the chemicals in your favourite beauty products have rendered it a toxic …read more

LC:M- THE UNOFFICIAL NON-DEFINITIVE RUN DOWN

avatar

June 21 2013, Style In View

To quote the great Wonderbra model Eva Herzigová, ‘Hello boys.’

Don’t you just love it when we talk… fashion?

One poor, lost, sartorially stumped friend recently turned to me and implored me to write something on men’s fashion as, beyond the need for a decent velvet blazer, he has no clue how he should be dressing and, seeing as LC:M — or Men’s Fashion Week — has happened this past week, now seemed as good a time as any to start listening to him.

We may well be …read more

BRIGHTON FASHION WEEK REVIEW

avatar

June 19 2013, Style In View

From the 13th to the 16th, Brighton Fashion Week returned once again to showcase Brighton’s fashion credentials with some of the most exciting and innovative talent the city has to offer, with designers from further afar descending to showcase their own collections (may I suggest you turn your attention to Jess Eaton’s show stopping Roadkill Couture collection that ended Thursday night for an idea of the kind of designs on show here). For anyone that …read more

SKINNY VS FLARED

June 13 2013, Styleable

I’ll admit, I’ve donned some questionable items in my time through my love of fashion (photographic evidence has been subsequently destroyed), even those I initially thought myself above. Oh yes, I’ve laughed in the face of crop tops, punishing trotter feet high heels and dungarees, but then decided I actually quite liked two out of three of those at least.

I’ve since discovered my threshold for the acceptable is really rather low.

But despite my …read more

STYLE STAPLES OR SERIOUSLY OVER? GET THE SKINNY ON SKINNY JEANS.

gfs

June 10 2013, Girlfriend Shoes

Friends, I don’t want to alarm you, but I have some disturbing news. You might want to sit down. A war is being waged. Between high fashion and the high street. I won’t bother you with the politics, but the crux of the issue is the width of your trouser leg. I know, I know: it just keeps getting worse and worse.

It’s been going on for some time now. Fashion decreed the skinny jean to be the epitome of gauche; we mortals here on earth refused to listen (hey, …read more

PIPPA MIDDLETON: PRINCESS OF STYLE

LBQnewbanner2

June 7 2013, London Beauty Queen

Recently voted Style In View’s most fashionable celebrity by the public, when it comes to the Middleton sisters, it’s Kate’s wardrobe we most often lust after. But let’s not forget Pippa in the style stakes. Making waves in the fashion world with her recent appointment as Vanity Fair’s latest contributing editor, Pippa has more to offer than her more commonly noted ass-ets… With that in mind, what better excuse do we need to take a moment to examine …read more

KEEPING IT REAL

avatar

May 31 2013, Style In View

If there’s one thing that reality stars are known for (blank stares into the middle distance, Iceland’s own Lambrini, camel toe) style is rarely it. But that, I’m sorry to tell you, is where all your high brow assumptions are going so horribly wrong. Don’t worry, you wouldn’t believe how many people make this mistake. Dismiss that notion that all reality television stars are nothing but fashion wasteland, known for luminescent fake tan, that can barely tie their own shoelaces without help; scratch below the surface (I recommend wearing gloves) and you’ll …read more

GLAMOUR AND GATSBY

avatar

May 24 2013, Style In View

“It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such beautiful shirts.” So sobbed Daisy, awash in a shower of some of Gatsby’s finest.

It would be remiss of me — nay, it would be going against my duty as both a fashion journalist and an English Literature graduate — not to open any article on the Gatsby inspired 1920’s revival by referencing Daisy having a moment amidst some of the finest examples of tailoring ‘new money’ could buy, which she then …read more

TREND ALERT: NEON EMBELLISHMENTS

avatar

May 23 2013, Style Life Fashion

Neons were once the “preserve” of the rave scene and for someone whose teen years were largely spent in the 90s, neons will forever recall Cyberdog silver miniskirts with Hi Vis accents and bright pink fuzzy leg warmers, drug fuelled psychedelic dance parties and TECHNO, TECHNO, TECHNO.

Or, for the nu rave second wavers, Cyberdog window displays, layers of fluoro plastic Topshop bangles and friends’ questionable Facebook pictures of trips to Ibiza drowning …read more

MAKE MINE A DOUBLE (DENIM)

May 15 2013, Style In View

..Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from, cotton-eye— Oh! Sorry, you caught me unawares then, contemplating as I was the latest in cutting edge fashion news, or rather, the Canadian Tuxedo. Oh, that’s back in by the way.

Ladies, it’s time to take our fashion cues from those great luminaries of style, Rihanna, Jeremy Clarkson and Justin Timberlake’s denim cowboy hat, as fashion editors the world over have once again turned to each other and suggested we take …read more
