Now don’t get me wrong, I am a strong advocate of “each to their own” in just about every way, but when if you are trying to express a strong, aggressive, dark soul through fashion with an outfit that looks like what the Hulk would wear if he wanted to go to a Hallowe’en party [...]

We think that Gareth Pugh needs a bit of a holiday. If his latest collection, shown at Paris Fashion Week in January was anything to go by, his mood is definitely depressed.  His designs rarely strayed from a muddy pallette of greys and browns, and looked as though they were inspired by a vision of [...]

Remember all those elegant, glamorous and inspiring white gowns whafting down last year’s red carpets? If the Grammy’s are anything to go by then don’t hold your breath for the same as we head into this year’s awards season. Regardless of starlet or designer, many of the white gowns seen at this year’s Grammys were [...]

Oh Ian Stuart. I love you, really I do, but I don’t think I can forgive you for this late Eighties nightmare. Maybe twenty years ago it would have looked super trendy, and I know the Eighties are in the high street everywhere at the moment but let’s face it. These styles didn’t look good [...]

When it comes to choosing your wedding dress, it’s understandable that you want to look super chic and stylish. If you’re the type of bride who always has her finger on the fashion pulse you may well want a wedding dress that is super hot and bang on trend. Well, may I suggest you hold [...]

I’ve noticed a new trend in the magazines lately and it’s one that I really hope won’t catch on. I’m aware that my description of “sparkling sheer dresses” sounds quite nice, but it’s difficult to put into words quite what I’m seeing. I don’t mean delicate lace sections and pretty little Swarkovski motifs. The dresses [...]

How can one designer get it so right and so wrong in the same collection??? Hate It :  Culture Clash Patricia Avendaño’s work is unique and daring and unquestionably European in flavour but I think her combination of Spanish ruffles with Scottish tartans was a bad move.  Add garish colours to the mashup and you [...]

A bride should be the center of attention on her wedding day; an image of elegance and a sight to behold. Her dress should flatter her figure and highlight her best features. I can not help but wonder what was on the minds of the designers when they concocted some of these “things” I can [...]

White dresses were all the rage at the Oscars this week. Nina Calloway at About.com weddings gives us the run down of who was wearing what from Sarah Jessica Parker to Jennifer Aniston. Check out her gallery of white dresses at the Oscars. Love it:It is hard to pick a winner from so many beautiful [...]

The credit crunch seems to have had a terrible affect on this couple’s wedding budget, as it doesn’t look like they could afford that last (crucial) part of the bride’s dress. Oops!

I was browsing the Nordstrom bridalwear section of their site today, and felt compelled to share my findings. What a mixed bag of styles! I say that in the best possible way, as I adore seeing greater variety in wedding dress shops, and love it when a bride steps away from the cookie-cutter white ballgown [...]
