If You Were Born in the 80s...

I'm currently having a love affair with our favourite 80s colour scheme NEON! However please don't fear this only stretches to nail colour not a 1980s Whitney Houston ensemble. I picked up this fluorescent pink nail varnish from New Look on a whim for £2.50 and I highly recommend it; it applies easily and is still chip resistant after four days.

T-Shirt and Tails Loves: Julian Casablancas

I've always been a big fan, and admirer, of the The Strokes' Julian Casablancas (I'm a little bit upset about the wife though Jules) and I just LOVE his new solo single '11th Dimension' which is released on 2 Nov. It's my favourite song of the moment and it's now stuck on repeat for the fifth time. Check it out here. I can't wait for the album 'Phrazes for the Young' at the end of October.

Don't Sweat It

I have fallen in love with this sequined rabbit jumper from French Connection (£45), which by the looks of the website is selling out fast! It's often very difficult to find stylish casual jumpers for lazy days but this fits the bill perfectly.

The Price of Fashion

On my way home from Italy I stocked up on Italian Fashion Magazines including Elle and Vanity Fair. What struck me was that not only were the magazines, most notably Elle, twice the size but also a fraction of the price. Italian Elle was a bargain at €3.00 for a whopping 754 pages, compared with 370 pages in the UK version, and Vanity Fair was an unbelievable €1.80 which is unheard of in the UK. Why is it that these magazines can be sold for this price on the continent and not in the UK? Here are some photos comparing this month's UK Elle, with cover-model Lily Allen, and Italian Elle for size.

To Have and to Hold

After several weeks away from the British high-street I ventured to the shops to see what they had on offer for me this A/W. I visited Russell and Bromley where I tried on (for the umpteenth time) the brown tasselled loafers which a month ago were featured in every blog, magazine and newspaper that I opened. Now I just can't decide if they are simply too pretentious and I will end up looking like Henry Conway before I realise, or if this is really the whole point and there is a sense of irony when worn? Either way, I can't decide and I just can't stop day-dreaming about them...
