My favourite go-to for anything gifty or treaty for myself or home, Cox and Cox is an uber-stylish British website full of wonderful ideas.

Back to the 60's - Vive le Vidal!

The new season fashion trend is shifting from the hippy 70's to the new clean shapes of the 60's. In perfect timing, "Vidal Sassoon the Movie" is the inspirational story of how one man changed the world with a pair of scissors. The film traces Sassoon's life from a London orphanage to international success and celebrity.

Living through war and poverty, young Vidal becomes driven to rise above the circumstances of his birth.Through tireless hard work, he struggles to modernize the old-fashioned world of hair; inspired by modern architecture, Sassoon focuses on geometric shapes and angles - literally changing the way women look and ushering in the social revolutions of the '60s.

I ♥ Joseph ( and Joe isn't bad either)

Joseph is a must-have hit for anyone visiting London looking for chic style, international designers, with an always-cool twist...each store over the last couple of years have been lovingly refurbished, in their own indvidual style, based on their location and vibe of the area.

Joseph Draycott Ave store windows have been recently given a burst of summer colour, from none other than stylist and fashion extraordinaire Katie Grand...

Also, around the corner, in the store-cafe Joe's, is having a re-launch with new head chef Maria Elia. It officially opens on Saturday 21st May and is a lovely place to refuel after shopping...

Happy Birthday Mulberry!

Mulberry has turned 40, and as much it has come into its fashion strength in the last few years, it has in fact many more years of heritage British style...to celebrate they have produced a beautiful photo book of images taken over the last 2 years, backstage during fashion shows and at shoots. From the birth of the beloved shopper-favourite Alexa, to celeb sightings, the book shows the workmanship that goes into each bag, accessory and clothing...



The book in all its glory, £55 Mulberry

I-Spy Somthing Beginning with H

The 1970's have been all over the catwalks and high streets, but trends come and go with each season. Halston Heritage is a brand that has had a re-birth a few seasons ago, that perfectly shows of the 70's in a luxe timeless way - hence how it is been so popular now as it was 40 years ago. With lashings of silk jersey and assymetric necklines, the designs are chic and not fashion-victim...

Running wardrobe

Gearing up, as I do each year, for my yearly Race for Life in Regents Park, I decided to try and improve my exercise wardrobe. Since starting to use a gym since New Year, I have become much more excited about running, so naturally wanted to get lovely running shorts and clothing. Sweaty Betty have an amazing range of exercise gear - for professional to part-timers - stylish work out gear and general comfy loungewear.
