You know when you hear a fashion trend being discussed and dissected on Woman’s Hour that it’s definitely escaped from the refined circles of ‘fashion’ and into the popular consciousness...

stripes
The Breton is a sort of visual shorthand for classic Parisian style, clean and chic in its graphic simplicity.

How do I adapt my style into something that feels more appropriate for my thirties without losing the essence of the look that I spent my teens and twenties figuring out? Using Gwen as an example, I might have the answer.
beauty
Using products that have been recommended to you by a woman you look up to is a way to stay connected to them when they're not around. The smell of a lipstick or face powder can instantly evoke memories and emotions which may be bittersweet, but are still worth feeling.
clothes
I worry that it’s dangerous to be so emotionally dependent on inanimate objects, to invest them with so much significance – whether it’s superstition or simply happy memories of a place, time or person.
clothes
I like escapism, fantasy, beautiful places, people and interiors and for things to be as pretentious as possible.

Because we are all over the important stories from LFW.
catwalk
At long last London Fashion Week is upon us and we’re going to be heading down to Somerset House soon to see what the designers have in store for Spring/Summer 2013.

clothes
My usual office attire tend towards the "relaxed." You will never find me clopping into the kitchen in stilettos and I keep accidentally wearing this shirt that has a giant hole in the side.
revlon
I realised recently that my trademark black eyeliner/red lip look is starting to look a little… tired? Repetitive? Dare I say… boring? I’ve been wearing it for TEN YEARS so it’s probably time for a change.

Neither your traveling companions nor the good people of Paris (or wherever you’re minibreaking) could give a monkeys, so get over it and put those extra outfits back in the closet.
korres
Lovely, milky, edible yoghurt is obviously a natural source of lactose as well as proteins, minerals and vitamins, all of which works to increase the moisture levels in the upper levels of the epidermis (useful if you've fried them to a crisp -- ahem).

This morning when I left the house I didn't make a conscious decision to dress like a Charles M. Schulz cartoon.
beauty dilemmas
Readers, I am at a crossroads in my life and I need your help. While it feels really un-British to make this post all about ME ME ME and my fringe dilemma (complete with photos, shudder), I’ve been told I need to share more, so here we go.
beauty routine
Here are some daily moisturisers which work for my spectacularly average skin (bit dry, bit greasy, bit spotty at times -- nothing special.)
domestic violence
Beauty blogger and queen of the online make-up tutorial, Lauren Luke, has created a video that's designed to shock.
books
I will always identify with the central protagonist when they’ve arrived in a big city, fresh from the provinces with all their cherished dreams and ambitions as yet uncrushed.
absinthe
Try this one at home (if yours is the kind of home, like mine, where Absinthe is a cupboard essential) and raise a teacup with us to Queen Liz -- congratulations ma'am!
issues
Yes, the Avengers all wear figure-hugging costumes, but no one asked Chris Evans whether he went on a juice diet to slip into his skintight Captain America suit.
accessories
If you've given up your bookshelf for an e-reader and are looking for a new way to flaunt your literary taste, there's an accessory for you.
beauty icons
And can I please get some credit for writing this without once using Khoo’s name in a "hilarious" pun, unlike the rest of the British media? (Khoo-La La! was my personal favourite -- ha ha HAAA!!!)

I swear, this is related to fashion.

One of the best press previews I attended last autumn, when spring seemed like…
bad '90s style
I want eyebrows that are more "Groucho Marx" than "Marlene Dietrich."
